Oy with the Poodles already!

Frantically adding scuba full skirts to my wardrobe like a desperate addict. My longer ones I have a habit of wearing to work, why? It's like wearing a duvet on your bum and why deny comfort like that?! On the weekends off, go braless for some middle boob cleavage (unsurprisingly not a thing) and don your wildest scuba skirt in the country.

The masks that the monsters wear

I am obsessed with deer, as you can tell from my header. But all is not what it seems, I am also scared of them. Illogical? I totally agree. It all started with that trip every child has to Santa's grotto. I was 6, meeting the one and only Santa was an exciting prospect, the internet wasn't really a thing so I didn't know about this, turns out a sketchy Santa would be pretty low down on my list of my childhood induced fears. I was petting Dancer, or Vixen, or one of the other 7, while eating a particular delicious Mars Bar ice cream, having a great time, when the deer spooks, turns its head, and smacks me with its antlers. 

The dropped ice cream and bruised face were a disappointing fact of life, but the fear developed on Christmas eve when my sister told me they would be back to finish the job. I had to stay in my parents bed that Christmas Eve.

P.S. So I don't seem discriminative I am scared of a large range of animals, including, not limited to; horses, hippos, leeches, eels, snakes, any spiders bigger than a money spider, octopi, needle fish, cookie cutter sharks, killer whales, not a fan of dolphins either, big dogs, seagulls from Scotland. Then there is everything that is not an animal that I am scared of, from the doctors to tissues. Yup.

I want to dream it and it to be true

So... Merry Christmas and Happy New Years I guess, mini hiatus there, my New Years Resolution of making time to blog more is already redundant. But I have come back with snow, a new handbag and a band you should definitely listen to.

So far I have had no snow this winter, which for me is a life tragedy. My boyfriend finally got bored of me waking up and eagerly looking out the window, to only have a disappointed tantrum, and took me to the highlands for guaranteed snow. Which I totally dressed appropriately for...

Fringe benefits

Shakira: Hips don't lie

-in desperation of finding a related song, have the queen of fringe and a song I hid on my Ipod for years.

(Fringe Jumper: Topshop, Ice cream necklace: Topshop, Trumpet skirt: Zara, Plaid bag:3.1 Philip Lim, Mary Janes: Miu Miu, Sunglasses: Celine) #teenvogue

I heart a bit of fringe. I wanted to make a fringe plain white tee after seeing one designed by J W Anderson. However after many trips to the fabric store to only find fringing suitable for curtains I gave up my hunt. On my habitual morning scout on the Topshop website I saw this and checked out- first impulse purchase on Topshop for about a year.
