Style Diary - Niki de Saint Phalle Exhibition

Had a lovely little day today in Glasgow, headed to the GoMA to see the Niki de Saint Phalle exhibition, and if you have not heard about this exceptional woman I really recommend that you look her up, not only is her art work outstanding but she as appeared on the covers of Vogue and Life magazine! I also walked through Merchant Square for the first time and truly did fall in love, its just so quaint and cute, definitely will be visiting there again and trying ALL the bars out.....purely for research, of course. A Starbucks was on the itinerary for today as it always is, I tried a Valencia Orange Refresha for the first time and it was gorgeous! also some breakfast pancakes too - D 




















Orange Refresha and a Caffe Latte! 


Pancakes and Syrup 


Valencia Orange wasnt the only fruit on the menu this morning


Red Mac lip stick and loose curls


Love my little red bandanna

Outfit Ideas - Back to Uni

I tweeted and instagram'd an outfit idea this morning that was very chic, black and white with gold accessories! 

I've been searching for this hat for weeks now and I'm so glad I found it on Missguided this morning! Also the beautiful mid length black skirt from Zara is so versatile and can easily be worn on a night out too! 

The gold chain necklace...one big tip here - EVERYONE should own one of these! It just goes with everything and they are so in right now, the one I have used on here today is from River Island but I have seen them in most high street stores recently. 

Outfit One of my back to uni segment -

Style Diary

Since I posted a blog not too long ago of some of my ideas for the Summer Sessions Avicii concert in Bellahouston Park, I thought I would share with you all the outfit I chose to wear on the day! 







I decided on... 

A floral kimono from Primark!! (Only £15) 
A plain white cami top from Topshop (£18) 
Levi reworked shorts from Urban Outfitters (£35) 
Silver bum bag from Bank (£12) 
White flower crown headband from Topshop (Sale £4.50) 
Gold chain necklace from River Island (£15) 
Light grey knee high socks from Topshop (N/A) 
Black Hunter Wellies from Schuh (N/A) 

I kept my hair and make up super simple, just using a curling wand on some strands of hair to give it a big of volume and a quick smokey eye since I was partying well into the night!

Style Profile - The Carrie Diaries

I've been curled up in bed all day "searching for a job", instead found myself watching The Carrie Diaries, if you like Sex In The City you will love love love this! Watching Carrie drink a cosmo for the first time, trying on her first pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes, having her first taste of Manhattan! Just aaaamazing! 



Which brought me to this! Who doesn't love 80's fashion, neon, shoulder pads, big hair! And if watching The Carrie Diaries has got your fashion senses tingling have a look at these to bring out your inner Carrie (Old school Carrie). 


Just think a lot of clashing colours and prints and sequin...lots of sequins 












Also it just wouldnt be Carrie Bradshaw without the initial Carrie Necklace.

There are so many cute ones at http://www.etsy.com/ 



Fall in love with it just like I did, can't wait for season two!!

Weekly Lust List!

Only three items this week on my lust list! Been soo busy over the weekend that I havent had my usual time to search though hundreds of websites! A skort of course is on the top of my list! Then YSL Babydoll Mascara, I mean who doesn't want lashes like Cara! And finally a Marc Jacobs bunny rabbit iPhone cover!! It's so so very cute! 🌺                                       

Fashion Must Have!

Since I have now began my uni shopping, I have came across quite a few amazing buys. But this one is a must have for any kind of occasion. You could pair them with tights and boots, a gorg tan and strappy heeled sandals, cute roll down socks and converse. They are just so versatile but absolutely gorgeous! 

Its a Skort! I saw them in Grazia a few months back and didn't really think much of them...almost the same as the multiple origami still skirts I had for this summer. But since scrolling though Zara's website this morning, I saw them again...in black! and im a sucker for black tailored....anything!! 


These ones are from Zara for only £25.99!! 



There is also a pinstripe option, to spice up your office wear! Again, from Zara.
