Sunshine Strolls: OOTD

I am loving Scotland's sun at the moment, but sadly I am back at work today and probably won't see very much of it again for a while. I love walking around in the sun snapping pictures of life.. little things you would walk by if it was a rainy day so we went to Rouken Glen park again and it was lovely to see it in beautiful vibrant colours, with the leaves on the trees and a bright blue sky and families everywhere with their happy go lucky dogs. It also felt nice to walk around not worrying about fighting against the wind to keep my hood up and dodging mud puddles. Once we had worked up an appetite we tried out a New York bar & grill called TriBeCa....yumm and then visited Botanic Gardens in the West End before the sun went down.

My outfit for yesterday was very similar to Saturdays as I fell in love with the crop tee and kimono look and as I said I LOVE my 'Moto Joni' jeans from Topshop. I felt so comfortable and with my skinny jeans being rather light weight I didn't get too hot but they kept me warm enough against the cool breeze.  My black crop tee ( a bargain at £3.99)  and mint green kimono (£9.99) are from H&M. I really like to throw my kimonos on over my cropped tee's to dress them up but also so I don't feel as if I am on show too much if you get what I mean (?)  My blue Topshop 'Moto Joni' (£36) high waist jeans which as my black ones are snug to my legs, they don't go out of shape if you sit for long periods of time and I might have to treat myself to another pair. My black fur skater slip ons the same as before which I am still wearing in going through plaster like I don't know what but I am determined.
Finally I accessorised with my trusty black double pocket shoulder bag from Primark and my necklace which was in 'Asda's' sale. I also picked it up in pink. I really need to get back into necklaces again, I have so many but forget to put them on. Last but not least my usual 'Joma' bracelets and my shiny 'Michael Cors'.
Back to my black wardrobe today but hopefully the sun will still be out when I finish, fingers crossed.

A Red Lip Monochrome Kind of Day



Happy Easter! I hope your enjoying this beautiful weather. I took a cheeky day off yesterday so Mark & me took a drive through to St Andrews, taking full advantage of the sun. For a few months now I have been pondering over buying a crop tee's as I have never felt 100% confident flashing the flesh but since I treated myself to high wast 'Moto' jeans from Topshop I have been a little more adventurous with my tops. Seen as the sun is shining I felt today was the day to brave the cropped tee. 
So today's outfit consists of a very monochrome look (which I am lovin' it at the moment) and all new items as yes again I went shopping.  Starting with my new favourite top from H&M, a white crop tee with 'Love' written across it in black. Sorry it doesn't seem to be on the site yet but just new in. Mark surprised me with black high waisted 'Moto Joni' jeans which are thee best fitting jeans I have EVER owned...amazing, I haven't had them off. On my feet I have black fur Topshop skater slip ons  and pulled it all together with an H&M cream, sheer mid length kimono, different colour here. Kimonos are so easy to wear thick or thin and can be worn casual or formal or just thrown over a bikini. I am totally addicted to them I now have 9 yes 9, all different colours and designs. And not forgetting my trusty Rimmel 'Kate Moss' red lippy in shade 107 for a pop of colour

I thought I'd give monochrome Shellac nails a go this time round which wasn't my best idea as I work in a salon and they got covered in tint and goodness knows what after only 2 days:( , but they looked good to begin with and I was getting lots of nice comments. 

We had a lovely day strolling around having a look in all the gift shops and of course done a little shopping, had coffee and hot chocolate at a cute little cafe called 'Bibi's' and had lunch at the coolest 'Nando's' I have been in yet. I really enjoyed our drive through countryside and being able to  walk around with no brolly or parka. I t was also lovely to see all the new bouncing baby lambs, everything comes to life when the sun comes out and bless a poor farmers tipped potato truck.. I also seen my first very happy cow, an all round lovely day.
