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.

Don't Give Up?!?

I just want to say sorry to anyone that follows me and reads my blog, I haven't been writing much as I have been busy with work, doing everyones nails for going away making me super tired lately. I've also been feeling a little down, stressing about my skin as I've been getting a lot of blemishes which have been scarring (i can explain all that another day :( ). I've been wanting to get fitter, tone up and loose a little bit of weight around the stomach not that I'm fat just not what I want to be. But I shouldn't be making excuses, I guess I'm not very good at this but I don't want to give up and fall away for blogging.

It's not that I don't know what to write or don't have anything to say, for me it's about remembering to take pictures (good pictures) of the outfit I'm wearing or the places I've been or the products I've tried and thinking would people read this, is anyone reading this???
I am definitely going to try harder to take more photo's and blog more regularly.

I want to become a proper blogger and I know if I work hard at it I will. Sounds so cheesy but it is something I have been interested in doing for years and I'm not someone who gives up easily but I find it hard sometimes when I don't see anyone reading what I've taking the time to photograph and write about. I guess I'm still learning how to blog properly and what all the option buttons mean but hopefully if I stick at this and try harder it will pay off ... I've just got to remember blogging should be fun not a chore and I am                                                                                               going to start enjoying it :)


If anyone else finds it hard to keep up with blogging and can give me hints and tips to writing better and keeping blog  going I'd love to hear them.

Hip Hip Hurray...

Oh my goodness it has finally arrived, Glasgow now has a Forever 21:D

Ever since I went to New York last march I've been in love with Forever 21, the stores are always so big and bright and I don't think I have ever seen so many girls clothes in one shop before. Anyway since then I have been hoping for a store to open in Glasgow and when I heard they were building new shops on Buchanan street and that Forever 21 was one of them I was soo excited. So it opened on fri there and they were offering a free gift card to the first 150 people in line for the opening, may I say the line was HUGE when I passed on the way to work but I was soo jealous, I had to wait until today to shop. Well actually I popped in quickly with mark after work on Saturday but I wanted to wait until today to have a proper look around and jeezo it is huge and was super busy. I must have been in there for about 2hours going up and down deciding what I wanted to buy. I didn't think there would be much to catch my eye as I was just as the London store a week ago but oh I was wrong, I must have forgotten I am a shopaholic for a moment :O

So the result to my day was 5 tops a little shopper bag and a cuff necklace. I did want little black ankle boots but their size 4s a quite small and they didn't have a 5 :( maybe next time :P.

Love shopper bag

Here Goes Nothing...My Biggest Achievement

Ok so for my 1st ever blog post I think I'll start with my Christmas gift to myself last year... Fifi (my Fiat 500).
 It was August last year that I decided I was going to sit my driving test and aimed for a pass for Christmas (was being quite tough on myself).So I booked my theory test for the end of August, I hadn't studied the theory side of driving since I was 17 (when I chickened out) so you could imagine how much studying I had to cram in. I wasn't backing out this time! This is when my Ipad came in VERY handy (thanks to my boyfriend mark:) ). I was able to study constantly using a learners app. I was the only girl sitting the test that afternoon but I went in put my headphones on and walked out with a PASS! HURRAY!! All that hard work had paid off.
 I had my practical test booked by October and I was soo excited that I had something to work towards. My test date came and guess what...it SNOWED!! So my test got canceled I was never going to sit my test before Christmas now after spending all that money cramming all my lessons in. I was so upset... but I stopped blubbering and went out for a lesson in the snow.
That night I was on the DVLA website all night until finally someone made a cancelation for Monday the 10th of December exactly a week away so I snapped it up. I was soooo excited I was back on track all I to do was stay calm and not let my nerves get the better of me. Monday morning 8.30am and guess what guys I did it, I finally got my licence YIPEE.

After car shopping that day no cars tickled my fancy but what's for you won't go by you. I came across a Fiat 500 on the web but it was down in Manchester, it had everything I wanted the right colour, the interior (i was being super fussy :s) My dad called me the next day to say that him & my mum would be home late that night ... they were driving down to Manchester to get my car for me all I had to do was transfer the money AHH I couldn't wait to get home.  Even now when I see my little Fifi sitting in my driveway I still can't believe it's my little car:)

Set yourself Goals & Aim High the sky is the limit. 
Thanks for reading sorry for rambling on a bit I will get better I promise . love ClaireeFairee <3
