“The North remembers.”

3 different hair combinations, 1 post. Croatia, you are hot! All heat punishment was not even worth it, my tan attempts are fading. I bought this dress ages ago but I committed to save it until Dubrovnik because the pattern reminded me of the sea of roofs in Old Town. I must admit saying true to that commitment was hard with this hanging, neglected in my wardrobe. 

It even matched a beautiful stray kitten that I cried about for an hour, so dramatically that my boyfriend and best friend, in an attempt to move me from the kitten, bought food and water for it while googling the legalities of me taking it home to Scotland. I cried about a lot of stray cats in Croatia, it was getting so pathetic that we kept cat food in our car just in case. When I grow up I am having a cat sanctuary like this champ. 500 cats, what a dreamy existence.

Keep your eyes out for my Croatia guides in the coming weeks on the blog and on Atlas Addict.

Oh what a web I have woven myself in

If and when I decide to spawn this dress will be a god send. Roomy. This was one of those items you were oddly attracted to, then you take it to the changing room and like it more than anything else you took in. Not sure why, but the maternity smock style was obviously doing it for me that day.

Much love,

Favourite Things

Favourite lip products

- I am cursed with chapped lips, this coupled with my anxious lip biting leads to some pretty unattractive lips. I have however, found a mix of products that I love and have really worked for me and my desert lips.  Nuxe Rêve de Mie is a perfect nighttime savior. It is heavy, so it really isn't the best for day to day wear unless you are conservative with the application. Homeoplasmine is a french product I picked up in Paris after some blog searching. It doubles as a talking point as it is also nipple cream (apparently). It is the best nipple cream I have ever had on my face. I have no idea how it works but it is the quickest and most effective fix I have found for my lips. Finally Smith's Rosebud Salve is the perfect every day one. Lightweight, pretty smell and a slight hint of colour. Just make sure it doesn't melt in your bag, but if it did I could relate to you.

My favourite guy graduated in July on the only day in Glasgow to not rain and be above 20 degrees. In a 100% wool kilt and robe he was a happy-hot bunny. I am very proud of this little hard worker who graduated with a distinction in Chemical Engineering. I am slightly bitter knowing his first wage though.

Bag- & Other Stories

I am into mini bags. I have always been a big bag kinda girl- just in case I saw an abandoned puppy and needed to carry it to the vet (my house), but there is something intensively satisfying about not having to sift through a sea of receipts and bobby pins to find my phone. With a mini bag you have to rationalise the junk you carry around on a daily basis. I attribute my new better posture to mini bags- no longer am I dragged down by a bag full of every lipstick I own.
