Daniel Wellington Gold Mesh Watch 2018

Daniel Wellington Watches // Hello loves, hope you're having a great Thursday - it's almost the weekend, yay! I'm absolutely delighted to be working with my favourite watch brand again, Daniel Wellington. My first experience of the brand was back in 2015 and we've had a beautiful friendship ever since - I wear my Classy Sheffield watch every single day and it's become my lucky charm, I always feel weird if I forget to wear it.

Classy Petite Melrose Watch | Daniel Wellington

The Girls by Emma Cline // Book Review 2018

"I looked up because of the laughter, and kept looking because of the girls. I noticed their hair first, long and uncombed. Then their jewellery catching the sun. The three of them were far enough away that I saw only the periphery of their features, but it didn't matter - I knew they were different from everyone else in the park..."

Oasis Tropical Dress // Outfit of the Day

Oasis Tropical Dress // You may have noticed but this dress is incredibly similar to one that I showed off quite recently (you can see it here)... I'm no doubt late to the party but I've really fallen in love with this style of dress - it's just so damn comfy. The bell sleeves are a lovely touch and make the dress look so delicate, and this print was too pretty to ignore - it's covered in little, colourful, tropical birds. I paired the dress with a belt but it probably wasn't needed - it actually has a lovely detailed pattern at the waist which is just as nice!

Guide to Stockbridge, Edinburgh - The Village within a City, 2018.

Stockbridge // Situated in the heart of the capital, Stockbridge is a fabulous, colourful area reminiscent of a small village within the hustle and bustle of central Edinburgh. Lined with lovely houses, cobbled streets, independent boutiques and eateries, this really is a treasure trove. As you can tell from the pictures below, Stockbridge is such a photogenic place. Every corner has something to admire, whether it be a glorious park with regal swans, or idyllic front doors that you wish you could live behind. I was fortunate enough to live in Stockbridge for a number of months and wanted to share my pictures with you all today!

Pink Brocade Dress // Outfit of the Day

Pink Brocade // I spotted this pink beauty in the Warehouse super sale last week. I say super sale because items were discounted, and then an additional 20% was taken off - result! I ended up getting this pink brocade number for £12! It was such a great find - not only does the pattern look lovely paired with tights and wee cardigan, but the thick material makes it a really sturdy, durable item that will no doubt last a couple of years. I'm looking forward to wearing this in Winter, I have a feeling it might be quite a cozy one, matched with a thick chunky knit... 

Happy Little Bluebirds by Louise Levene // Book Review 2018

"I'd no idea anyone actually spoke Polish,' the girl was saying. 'Apart from Poles, obviously'. The customs chap looked awfully surprised. 'Whatever on earth made you learn?' She didn't stay for an answer but began shoving her bags alongside Evelyn in the back of the waiting car. 'Budge up'. Evelyn edged along the wide seat and the girl closed the door and leaned forward to instruct the uniformed driver who was wiping his mouth on his handkerchief as he wedged the pungent remains of a sandwich into the glove compartment...."

Warehouse Floral Dress // Outfit of the Day

Warehouse Floral Dress // Hello lovelies, hope you are doing well. I've honestly had, what feels like, the busiest few weeks - the days seem to be flying by and I've hardly had a moment to sit down and get a post written for this wee blog of mine. I suppose it's good when life feels like it's zooming past though, it means that things are exciting and I'm constantly kept busy, which I like. Anyways, I wanted to quickly show you all this new dress from Warehouse. I say 'new' but, you know me, I won this dress on eBay and it's been in my wardrobe a few months now...

The Collector by John Fowles // Book Review 2018

 "I can’t say what it was, the very first time I saw her, I knew she was the only one."

Purple Dress of Dreams // Outfit of the Day

Purple Dress of Dreams // okay, okay, okay, I need to breathe. I know I say this about every dress I own, but seriously, this may be my new all time favourite. I love everything about this dress: the colour; the lace design; the stretch fabric; the sheer sleeves; the scallop edge neckline; the length; and did I mention the gorgeous colour?! It's so lovely it deserves a double mention. Oh, and before I forget, the price tag was also amazing - £4 from eBay. Yes, £4!!! Another reason why I just love searching online for hidden gems like this one. 

My Life in Pictures // Instagram

My Life in Pictures // hello lovelies, hope you are having a great week. I'm sharing an influx of photos from my Instagram account. As you can probably tell, I like to keep things very colourful over there, and love to share things that inspire me throughout the week, whether it's a wonderful bouquet of flowers, some delicious home bakes or an extraordinary looking fruit bowl, haha! :-)
