J'aime Rodarte

(Sweatshirt: Rodarte, Painted leather skirt: Topshop Premium, Purse: Zara, Fur tail: Etsy, Necklace: Primark, Platforms: Marni x H&M) #teenvogue

If you look past my puffy, sleep deprived face and cast your mind back to the last time I wore this skirt I said I wouldn't wear it with grey. Oops, I lied. But rodarte, which I always want to say Row-dart-tay!!! But no. I borrowed this sweat from my sister, I've crushed on it for a bit, J'aime Rodarte and Je Deteste Rodarte, pretty cute. Way to get your brands label on a t-shirt.

Favourite Things

 My all time favourite perfume. I was a lucky girl my boyfriend bought me this which was rather charming as I am too cheap to buy this most of the time.. Reason being, I am a serial-sprayer, it's like an OCD for smell. So excited to have this perfume back in my life, when I could smell this on other ladies I would be very jealous. I am sure everyone has smelt this though and knows how delightful it is!

Leather boots: Topshop Premium. Had my eyes on these for a while, when they dropped down in sale I was there and ready. I was originally disappointed when I got them as I thought the leather was a black and ox-blood mix, it is just black, but I guess that makes them more versatile! I didn't have any boots for winter so these will be waiting for me. She says while it is 20 degrees outside.

Boyfriend got me peonies. I guess the lurking next to the flower stands paid off. He found these in his garden and proudly presented them with other wild flowers. Romantic. I went with him to a boot sale on Sunday- got a whole load of crap, including but not exclusive to: 3 picture frames, 3 vases, a wooden box, a sweetie box, a table and a rocking chair. Now we have to learn how to reupholster and maybe buy a house sharpish.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend in the summer sun!

A little homage to Charles Rennie Mackintosh, these photos were taken outside the Glasgow school of art building which he designed. Another themed outfit with roses, tartan and a kilt, just for you Charlie. I wish this would also explain my apparent ginger hair, but it doesn't, why these came out making me look ginger is unknown to me.I am just SO Scottish (ignoring my weird English hybrid accent)!!!

I personally, really love Mackintosh's work, every building that contains his work is completely unique but quintessentially him. His style was so modern for his time and it is just so different. Here are some buildings he was involved with if you ever find yourself in the area. Glasgow School of Art , Hill House, Scotland Street school and the Mackintosh House . I have visited and had a tour of each of these buildings and honestly, each of them are really worth a visit, I couldn't pick a favourite.

Also, if any of you are feeling pretty flush and have a spare £650,000 you can buy a house that was one of his designs but built recently,  I would if I could. See it here.

Who is your favourite artist/ architect? Anyone heard of Mr Mackintosh before?
