Try to keep your love as light as a feather

(Jacket with feathers: DIY/ H&M Trend, White lace top: ASOS, Kilt Skirt: Topshop Boutique, Shoes: Office, Bag: Zara, Hat: H&M, Glass Ring and Fake fur tail: Etsy) #TeenVogue

Wore this to go to the fish shop...yeah, over dressed you'd think. Some school kids laughed. But if I had worn it to University people would have laughed too. And because I went to the fish shop, if I had got any trouble I could have beaten them over the head with my bag containing 1kg of mussels. 

Bought this skirt from Topshop recently and loved it so much I bought a similar one in another colour. The fact I was born in Scotland means I can wear a kilt casually, also it means I don't disappoint all the tourists who are under the illusion that Scottish people wear kilts all the time. Who told them this?

This jacket was from H&M in the trend section, which is the only reason I go shopping in town now. If H&M had their trend section online I would never shop in stores again. The pattern reminded me of this Giambattista Valli jacket seen here on the lovely Carolina. Anyway, I was then inspired to get some feathers to make mine vaguely resemble, maybe if you squint and if you are colour-blind, that beautiful jacket. This is the end product, I got my feathers from eBay and if anyone wants a link just shoot me a comment.

Also, you may have noticed that I have somehow been picked to be a Teen Vogue Fashion Click featured blogger! If I have understood, this should submit to their website, but technology is not my forte! If it has worked, Hi Teen Vogue, if not then technology has beaten me again, technology:19182 Emma: 3.

Favourite Things

So my Christmas presents are crashing my Sunday post. But I missed updating about Christmas and these were some of my favourite things of the week anyway, hope you aren't all Christmas-ed out!

1. Festive nail varnish. As gay as it is, boyfriend actually got me these. They are festive colours! Bless him. I have such a stash of Essie nail varnishes that when I was out he had to double check what I already had. But he chose wisely. I love these colours, the green is something I wouldn't have picked myself but I love it anyway, and my old dark red has gone all lumpy and gross so it was a well timed purchased, good going boyfriend!

2. Raw Amethyst ring. Bought for me by my sister, from Etsy I am assuming. It is beautiful and also doubles up as an effective weapon. The crystal is pretty darn stabby, going to be helpful on the rough streets of Glasgow... Honestly though, I will not stab anyone with my ring. It might break.

3. Kitty mittens.They even have a string, this is very helpful so I don't lose them because I always lose one glove or one sock. It's my talent. However, these babies do have a drawback. I threaded them through the sleeves of my coat, because that is what I thought I should do, but if you do this and drive you do end up in a horrible tangled mess, not really ideal. So there we go, don't drink and drive, no drugs and driving and no certainly mittens with a string and pom poms. It is just distracting!

What did everyone else get for Christmas?

The gold plated legs of my rival

Happy New Years and Merry Christmas... sorry I was so absent over the festive period. I was employed as the in-house chef, I cooked Christmas dinner and New year nibbles so I spent a lot of time in the kitchen or with my sister/ cats. Interchangeable. But now I am back at University writing my dissertation so there aren't any more distractions...

This was what I wore for a walk. Yup. You'd think it was impractical, a short gold silk skirt, thinnish jacket and a scarf thrown on for good measure, but let me tell you, my walking companions were asking me for help over rocks and through water. So who cares that everyone else had walking boots and waterproofs, my outfit was the best for the conditions and for that I am proud. We went for our walk in the highlands, in an area which is particularly glaciated. I loved geography and rambled on about kettle holes and moraine for a bit too long. My former geography teacher would be proud, no eskers or drumlins though.

This badge... pretty great right?! There are animals all over the world. It was a bargain from Etsy and I am pretty sure it was £3 or something. To be honest I was surprised when it arrived and turned out to be so nice. Not really a broach kinda gal, they can be a bit naff unless you are Prof. Umbridge and you can rock the kitty broach. But hey, I like this one, maybe I am a convert!!

I hope you all had a lovely festive season! What did y'all get up to?
