I'll be the first to admit that I wear a lot of Black and Grey but I've been trying to incorporate more colour into my wardrobe for a while now and the Elizabeth and James Spring/Summer 2012 Textile collection is just the right balance for me.

Every now and then my boyfriend will bring me flowers home :) We've only got one tiny window that actually gets any sunlight so I hope I can keep these ones alive longer than I usually manage to!

Light sleeper

2012-01-20T15:02:00.011Z

Currently looking for a new bed. These two look rather appealing right now since I barely get any sleep these days (please tell me I'm not the only one who wakes up at least 20 times a night!)

I got the front two bracelets as part of a set for Christmas, I love the use of the rope and chain together and the pinks and creams.

Capricorn

2012-01-08T15:51:00.007Z

Usually I don't like Horoscopes or even bother to read them - I think I could just as easily write anything like that myself but on the odd occasion when I like what it says, I like to believe there's a little truth in there haha and when I came across Russh Magazine's 2012 Astrology Report, I got a little bit excited. Firstly, I loved the images and secondly, it looks like 2012 is going to be a good year for me :) Check yours out here, even if it's just for the great imagery accompanying them.

New year

2012-01-03T22:25:00.002Z

Ph. Me.

I've spent the last few days visiting my sister, which is where I spent New Year's Eve this year. We had a few drinks at her flat before heading off out for the night. I'm excited for what this year might bring but of course, I won't be forgetting that life's only what you make it, so a lot of hard work lies ahead!

Over the holidays

Some pictures I took over the Christmas holidays. I can't believe how quickly it went by.

Happy New Year

2012-01-01T12:49:00.002Z

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and new year! This is how I feel after eating far too much and a few too many drinks but I can't complain, I had a great time. Lets hope 2012 will be an even better year than last!

Merry Christmas

2011-12-21T09:05:00.001Z

It's taken me far too long to find my winter coat this year. I finally came across this dark purple faux fur one and I'm in love with it. The 3/4 sleeves threw me off a little at first but not enough to stop me from buying it.

DIY gifts

2011-12-18T19:15:00.001Z

I wish I'd have seen these earlier. I had full intentions of making these bookends but never got round to it anyway so maybe it's just as well that I hadn't.

Black + denim

2011-12-16T11:20:00.001Z

I threw away the only denim jacket I owned a while ago but I think I might just have to use the sales coming up as an excuse to invest in a new one.

Up to speed

2011-12-14T22:25:00.001Z

I've never found buying gifts for guys easy, especially since they usually say 'I don't want anything.' Luckily I got my thinking cap on extra early this year!

I've wanted a new watch for a while now, the only trouble is I can't decide on what style I'd like.

3 → Glennfidich Distillery entrance
4 → Fort George
5 → Highland Cow near Culloden Battlefield
6 → Aberdeen beach

More pictures from our trip to Aberdeen...We just made it to Brodie castle for the last tour of the day. I find it really fascinating to look at all the old furniture/items from hundreds of years ago, especially when most of it is still in perfect condition, too bad I was one of the only ones who actually wanted to listen to the lady ha. We went to Aberdeen beach on the last day before our flight and it was surprisingly warm. I'll definitely be going back to Aberdeen at some point!

3 → Loch Ness
4 → Dunnottar Castle
5 → One of two rainbows we saw whilst at Dunnottar Castle
6 → A few of the Dolphins we saw. Its face is way too cute!

A few weekends ago we flew up to Aberdeen in Scotland. I've been to Scotland so many times before but had never been to Aberdeen. We went early Friday morning, met a friend who flew in from France and then spent the weekend visiting as many places as we could. I think we did pretty well considering most places were a couple of hours drive away. Taking a small boat out to see wild dolphins was my favourite part of the trip. It's definitely one of the best things I've ever done!

2011-10-21T23:07:00.003+01:00

I love this outfit (minus the shoes - hate those), which is surprising because I know if I saw the blazer in a shop, I'd hate it. Just goes to show, I should be a bit more daring with my clothes sometimes!

I usually hate winter with a passion but I'm quite looking forward to it this year, really not sure why, maybe it's because we never really had much of a summer but I'm ready to stock up on lots of knitwear and sit inside with hot drinks!

Envelope Clutch

Nothing in my wardrobe is patterned so I don't know why I'm drawn to this BCBGMaxAzria Evening Fabric Envelope Clutch in Orange but I really am. The Harlow Shiny Python one is pretty nice, too.

I feel like I haven't stopped to sit down the last few days, even though I have (I'm sat stuffing my face with chocolate right now, ha) This was my lazy attempt at doing something with my nails anyway, doesn't look that great but it'll do for now. :)
