THESE SUNNY DAYS ARE MAKING ME SO HAPPY!

Hello everyone! How are you all doing this fine day? Gorgeous weather still, its so incredibly hot in Scotland we really are having a heatwave. It really does make you forget about global warming ;) (i am definitely pro saving the planet, looking after it and all the wildlife! So dont panic, im not being literal)I know i havent been posting much or even made any more videos but i am going to get it together, i promise! I was a very lucky girly today and once again treated by my amazing fiance Chris! We went to Prezzo in Braehead which is our nearest local shopping centre (i didnt buy anything i only browsed! Was very tempted though). Ive only ever been once before but i didnt really enjoy it, it was because i used to be quite fussy. I think they have changed the menu a little bit now aswell, so that helped! 

Here is what we had, we had a sharing platter to start with, Chris has Carbonara and it looked amazing! I have never really fancied it, but after today looking at his i think im going to have to try it. I had chicken with parma ham & cheese on top with cheesey potatoes! Amazing.

Todays outfit was literally thrown together. Before Chris left to pick his mum up from work, he told me to wear something kind of dressed up. So i knew instantly i needed some heels on! But with the weather you want comfy aswell, not pain! I thought i would try a kind of pastel look today, i dont wear pastel too much as i find it too intimidating and girly. Believe it or not im really not the "girly type" dont get me wrong, i love my dresses, skirts and heels. But pastel just screams girly! I like to wear something  with a bit of a hard edge, dark. So anyway, this outfit came together. I have a bit of a soft spot for this skirt for some reason, i thought it would look great with this vest and of course it created that bit of dark i needed to feel comfortable. These wedges are extremely comfy so i threw them on as-well as my white bag which i add to all my pastel/girly kind of outfits. Theres not much thought behind the jewellery, i threw it all on at the last minute! 

Theres a bit of a story behind this skull necklace, many of you may or may not know but 2 years ago i sadly lost my mum. I am a firm believer in the spiritual world and i do still believe that she is around looking after me and watching me. Now ghosts, apparently they have quite a mischievous side to them and like to hide things! Which takes me back to the necklace, no word of a lie i had lost it for about 2-3 months? I looked everywhere, continuously looking into my necklace box and emptying it. In hope of finding it. It was a gift for my 18th off my little brother so its very special and sentimental for me. So as i was pulling out the other necklace im wearing today, there it was. Entangled. I couldn't believe it! She is constantly hiding things in the flat, we have to actually ask for them back then they re-apear again! Crazy stuff.

ANOTHER DAY BEEN & GONE

Hiya everyone! Good news, we had the sun pay us a visit today! Well, this afternoon really. As you all know by now, its a wednesday, so we went out for lunch with Chris' grandparents and went to Harvesters in Xscape. Before i went out, i went to visit a family friend as there has been seen some devastating news so i wanted to show my support. It was a pretty normal wednesday to be honest. I really havent been up too much as the weathers been crap and i've been skint, except rushing to my old college to get council tax redemption forms sorted out. We have been up at least 6 or 7 times to try and get our old lecturers to sign them. Nearly each time they were ether out for lunch or out for the rest of the afternoon. Or they just weren't there at all! So we eventually decided to leave the forms with them to fill out, but when we got them back they hadn't even filled them out properly! They forgot to sign it, which is pretty much the most important part of the form as at the office they cant even stamp it officially without the heads signature. Aswell as getting Chris' course wrong. 

So todays outfit is a very summery one! Im really loving this vest top i was gifted by Persunmall, i dont really own alot of tops just t-shirts, so this is a really great addition to my wardrobe. I really love the unique style of the back aswell, i think its quite different. I thought the top would go quite well with these shorts because of the colour then i realised they were flowery too so if anything they matched even more than i planned! As it was a little nippy this morning i added my kimono as it had matching colours and flowery patterns. I wanted to wear these shoes as they are kitten heels and i personally thought they added a bit of elegance to the outfit. I used a brown handbag and sunglasses because i thought they would match my top and outfit more than black.

SITTING & WAITING

Heya everyone. Been another sunny day! Me and Chris picked up Chris' mum from work again and were very kindly treated too some lunch again. I have no idea why Scotland has been so lucky with the weather recently. We are surely going to get an absolute pour down soon :( BUT luckily our sofa-bed arrived for the spare room, as we have invested in some studio equipment so we can make a start on getting clients. So it means i will have somewhere to take some photos, with good lighting! So hopefully ill never have to struggle with blogging again. I much prefer proper studio lights when taking photos inside because the lighting can be so poor. Plus i think it can look more professional as some light bulbs give off a sort of yellowish-tint to the photos and i personally really dont like that! 

I didnt get any pictures of my lunch, but we were treated to some cakes aswell and i got a victoria sponge cage which i have photographed! It was massive! I did not realise it was that big and i couldnt finish it. It was THE BEST victoria cake i had ever eaten... 


When me and Chris came back i had to drop off a parcel which had been mistaken for our address. After handing it over the elderly gentleman he said he had also gotten a few of my parcels before. The street names are the same (not going to say my address on the big wide web) except for one extra word being added so i guess there is a valid reason. We went for another walk as the weather was nice to the shops, this time to get fizzy juice and i again was treated to some treats! So im going to munch on them untill our gammon steaks defrost so we can eat dinner...


I came up with this outfit a few weeks ago and because i always day dream outfits and forget them i have a little pink book where i write outfit ideas into. I have wanted to wear this dress again for ages, so i thought today would be a good day too. Im so in love with this chunky Office shoes (they currently have 20% off ends 4th June), i love that they are a classic design of loafers and are edgy with the big platform. Plus i really love flatforms as im a shortie and it means i dont get sore feet as you do with heels. The cardigan is just to give me a little warmth in case there was a slight wind.

DONT PLAY WITH GUNS

Hiya! Sorry i didnt post yesterday. Our virgin wireless box broke so we were un-able to get onto the internet. We were able to plug in our old box in the later afternoon, but because i didnt think i was going to be able to get on i didnt take any outfit photos. In fact, i was pretty scruffy yesterday as a result of the broken wireless. We've been getting such nice weather in Scotland the past week! So i have been taking full advantage of that to get some posts done. Today Chris very kindly took me to Amarettos my favourite italian restaurant. If you are ever near Bridge of Weir, or even Glasgow you NEED to go there! Its amazing. AND the prices are fantastic for the quality of food you are getting!

We both had bruschetta milano to start with which is pepperoni & mozzarella, too delicious!


I had Branzino di Veneto, which is seabass fish with mediterranean vegetables & chorizo. Its one of my favourite meals ever, the flavour in the vegetables mixed with the chorizo is an explosion in your mouth. This is the meal that has made me want to try and eat more fish.

Chris had Pizza Salsiccia, which is italian sausage with mushrooms but he dosent like them so he had it without the healthy part :P

So for the rest of my/our day we tidied up the flat and i did a washing as the sun was out. Only annoying thing was that there seemed to be a bit of a summer party going on in the garden next to us so i decided to hang the underwear up  inside :P Didnt really want strangers seeing my unders...

So this outfit kind of came together in my head the other day I thought all the yellows would go with the orange shorts and you cant beat the sexyness short shorts and a pair of heels can create. I was going to wear my terrain heels from ZARA but both me and Chris agreed that these cute suede bow sandals looked much better. And who would of thought they were an ebay purchase? Plus a t-shirt and shorts combo are such a classic for summer so i really wanted to wear this as soon as and of course with a twist ;) not just plain jean shorts but ORANGE LEOPARD SHORTS. I added the horse necklace as i wasnt wearing many accessories. I got the necklace because they are nostalgic for me, i grew up with horses and riding. So even at that price i had to get it...
