THE COLD WINTER AIR

Hiya how are you all today? This is my first official outfit post of 2014! I know i have posted some outfits, but they were from last year, so they don't really count! So i have a bit of a cold at the moment so right now im just running a nice warm bath to relax in! I was planning on getting my birthday haul filmed as well as the first half of my christmas haul filmed, but im sniffling every 2 minutes and it really isn't great to listen too! As well as my man voice and the coughing... So as i said im having my bath and relaxing instead! Its ok though as it gives me time to work on my last holiday post as well as the video that will be uploaded a day later.

So today was a pretty relaxed day, we met Chris' mum for some lunch then popped up to Glasgow. As we needed to pick up Chris' new pairs of glasses. Which reminds me, i really need to get my eyes tested! I haven't had them checked in sooo long, which is quite bad. Especially with being diabetic i'm meant to keep on top of those things. But i just forget sometimes what im meant to be sorting out and doing. Hence why im trying so hard to learn to organise myself, as this year really is a huge year for planning and organising... MY WEDDING! But i guess all that stuff sorts itself out with time and age.

OUTFIT DETAILS

I wanted to have loads of warm layers on today, i originally even had a cardigan on with this. The air up here now has a very cold nip to it and the fact i have a sniffly nose i just wanted to be snuggled up and warm! But as i do get hot too easily i thought i better take off my cardigan... So i started with the dress and as i put on my grey tights i decided a thick brown jumper to layer with would go perfectly. Then i could through on my brown ankle boots, as well as my huge oversized vintage green jacket. I wanted the flat boots on as we would be walking in Glasgow and i didn't think i could really be bothered with heels. Again i was just keeping it casual with the bag, i wasn't carrying much! I really love this necklace, i feel like im wearing armour. You should totally check out Persunmalls jewellery as they have some AMAZING pieces on there but the prices are so low!

OLD GIFTS CAN BE RENEWED

Hiya everyone, how are you all doing today? I'm a little bit annoyed with myself today. For a few days there, i was doing really well with getting up early and trying to do something important with my time. Theres things i want to re-arrange or tidy around the flat, but by the time i'm getting up there really is no point on starting. It doesn't help that light bulbs keep going out because by late evening its pitch black, so its too dark to try and tidy everything. I really need to try and remember to get some new light bulbs this weekend. I'm also wanting another lamp for our bedroom, we had to move the smaller one form the living room into the bedroom. So i eventually want to move that light back to where it originally was. In our bedroom the big lights' bulb also broke, as well as something happening to the lamp in there...

I have alot of posts and videos i need to organise so i can finally upload everything online. So i think wether or not i like it, i am going to have to get up quite early one day and just get everything ready to go for my blog and youtube. The problem is, i lack in motivation so much! I struggle to organise myself sometimes. So tomorrow is a new day, i will start with the early mornings again and try to get all my backdated stuff up online. So as usual on a wednesday we went out with Chris' grandparents and we went to Frankie and Bennys at Xscape, braehead for lunch. By the way, they have changed their specials menu so i would go check it out if you get the chance!

OUTFIT DETAILS
So todays outfit is very green. I can't help it, i love the colour! The post title is linked to this dress, i got it for my 15th birthday and its my first "branded/designer" dress and i have always been in love with it! I still am, even though its old and tatty. Plus i have way nicer dresses than this one now... But it will always hold a special place in my heart. I actually wore this the other day, but we ran out of daylight to photograph, as its getting very dark early in Scotland now. I have added a few more bits and bobs to what i originally wore the other day, but i had a bit more time to think about it today. So i thought the hat and coat would add a very nice touch with their style, as well as the coat matching the colours in my dress. The scarf was added because its now freezing here! I also wanted to wear some heels with this dress so naturally my green boots were selected.

ITS MY LIFE AND ITS NOW OR NEVER

Hiya, how are you all doing today? I'm starving. I haven't eaten yet today, i can't even make something as me and Chris are going to Amaretto's at 8:15. So if i ate something right now i would fill myself up and not eat my dinner. Ugh. I might nibble on some cheese crackers, like an actual mouse, i need to taste and feel food in my mouth. I'm looking forward to going out as we haven't been to Amaretto's in a while, plus i really fancy one of my favourite meals that i haven't eaten in like, forever. Its the best. If you follow my instagram you will be able to see what i'll be eating. I do have to say, italian food is one of my favourite types to eat. The flavours and ingredients they use are amazing. I can't believe i am talking about food right now, especially when i am so hungry that i am about to eat my own arm off... Although, i will try to restrain myself from doing that, i would really miss my arm. I'm not going to chat about much today as i am going to try really hard and get another post done tonight. Making an effort today.

OUTFIT DETAILS

I actually wore this the other day, on thursday. We didn't get the chance to photograph it as it was raining quite heavy. I some time this week we should get our studio lighting out and have a play around with them. I decided to put the trousers on first then the heels as they matched colours. I then chose this top (yes its a bon jovi top, and yes the title are his song lyrics) because it matched the trousers with the splash of blue. I originally was going to wear my Topshop bomber, but i didn't feel it really went. So opted for my over-sized vintage leather jacket. I personally feel, it really adds something to the outfit. Or not.

SOMEWHERE ALONG THE COUNTRY PATHS

Heya everyone :) What have you been up today? When we got up we went and done our weekly food shop. We were going to go for another bike ride but the weather is/was extremely hot today! Also im not 100% as i missed 2 injections the day before yesterday. Oops! So my heart was feeling a bit sore... bad isnt it? So instead of wasting the day we decided to stuff ourselves silly ;) We went to our usual favourite spot, Amarettos'. Honestly, if you are ever in or near Glasgow make a trip to Bridge of Weir! Its one of the best restaurants ever. The lunch time menu wasnt on as me missed it by few minutes or so. There was, however a specials menu on and we've never seen it on before so it was a bit of a surprise. Chris (fiance) ordered from the specials for a bit of change but i stuck to the main menu.

Chris had meatballs in napoli sauce with garlic bread to start with, then had a sausage, mozzarella and caramelised red onions in a napoli sauce calzone. I had potato & leek soup to start with then had breaded chicken with mozzarella & ham covered in a napoli sauce.

Todays outfit was pretty much thrown together as i was in a rush to get out the door, i was pretty hungry and so was Chris. I dont think ive ever worn this dress so i threw it on and because of its light material. Waay to hot for me! I put on my red snake skin heels as i thought they were a nice touch, plus i wanted to wear heels, but i had to be careful what to put on. I have a sore from another pair of heels on my ankle at the moment. I have very sensitive feet due to my diabetes so i need to be very careful what i wear. The white bag, obviously matches the white in my dress and i didnt have to struggle to get it out of the mountain of bags in my wardrobe. To be honest thats why i go through stages of just over wearing certain bags, i cant be bothered to have a fight every time i want to change my bag. The hat i thought would add a nice lady-like touch aswell as helping with keeping me cool!
