I have boots on the brain at the moment...having gutted out part of my wardrobe, I found a pair of vintage victorian-esque ankle boots that I had completely forgotten about.

Can't wait to get some wear out of them, now that the Scottish Summer is apparently over.

In this month's VOGUE, I was confused as to why PRADA ever thought that these were a good idea...

This look is most definitely not for me...however, inspired by QM's post about her new Topshop thigh high boots, I dug out a pair of over the knee boots I have had for ages, but never worn.

Even though QM made them look positively demure in the below image, I had always steered clear of them through fear of looking 'slutty'. I think I would definitely need to wear them with leggings and a pretty dress a la QM, rather than with bare legs.

Unlike QM's boots, mine come just up over the knee and are flat, as opposed to manically high wedged platform numbers! I bought mine in Next of all places. I wore my Topshop suede ones far more often, back in the day, over my jeans, and folded down to resemble something out of Pirates of the Caribbean. It was a good look at the time, honest!

The Kenneth has promised to buy me a dress for the wedding at the weekend. YAY! Perfect Man! So I am going to head into town in a couple of hours, choose it, then go for dinner at Wagamma (Two Chicken Katsu Curries please!) and then we are going to see the new Johnny Depp film in the cinema...I forget what it's called. Wish me luck!

Got a wedding this weekend and as usual I don't have anything to wear, and as usual, due to my crappie job and student status, I have no money! Hence the trawling of supermarket clothing websites.

I unearthed this little gem from Asda:

It would fab with my big chunky wedged Aldo Boots

and my next hairstyle:



It would help satisfy my still lingering and unsatisfied lust for Matthew Williamson's pixelated tapestry dress from A/W 08. Ebay is offering me nothing, except all the H&M stuff, or the dreaded 'Butterfly' Debenhams range. Gahhhhh!

I felt that I couldn't keep this bargain (£16) to myself, especially when two of my friends and fellow Glasgow Craft Mafia members, We Are The Robots, are sooo obsessed with pixelations, so I facebooked the link to them. What a good soul I am! The dress would look amazing with one of their pixelated necklaces...

Just got some images back from a shoot I did a while ago that I made the sweetie accessories for. At first when I saw the images, I was kind of disappointed but they are growing on me now. I think because I know how long it took me to make that darn hat, I expected it to blow my mind when I saw it 'in action'. Oh well... I do love the pleated red laces though!

While adding all the Glasgow Craft Mafia members' blog links to my blog roll, I was delighted to be reminded of one of my favourite tops. Emma at Show Pony can be seen modeling some Pretty Raccoon tops and dresses for the new online (Glasgow based) store, Hannah Zakari. I bought my red antler sweater from Pretty Raccoon's etsy store a year or so ago, and wore it for about 7 days straight. Needless to say, after these photos were taken in The Buff Club on a bit of boozy night out, it had to be washed and rested for a while.

(Cheesy grin alert!)

I totally remember shouting at my mate, 'quick, take a picture of my top!' lol.



I hope that Hannah Zakari stocks the fab super-low-v-neck Bow Tops soon as I am too tight these days to pay for the super-high-delivery from America!

When my sister and I were younger, we used to look longingly through my mother's catalogues which included Freemans, Empire, Kays, Brian Mills and Next. My mother never used to actually order anything so it was always a complete mystery as to why the things kept being delivered to the house every season. Anyway, we used to look at each and every page (yes, this activity occupied us for hours), including boring items like lawnmowers and cutlery, and we each had to choose one thing that we would buy from the page.

I still do this sort of thing now. I don't subscribe to catalogues, (in teh age of the internet, do they even still exist?), but only last night I had Topshop.com and Net-a-porter open in my browser, and said to myself 'right, if you could choose any amount of items, at any cost, what would they be?' I then proceeded to go through each category, adding things I liked to the online baskets. One of the rules of this hypothetical, pointless nonsense is that the items 'bought' have to be things that I would definitely buy and wear normally. No room for frivolity. This was serious.

Anyway, after all the items were added, I noticed something rather odd. My lala-land bill for Topshop was almost double than the Net-a-porter one. Scanning the Net-a-porter basket, there were only five items, yet in Topshop, there were 50. I had anticipated, given free reign, I would have went mental in a high-end designer shop, yet I had not. Don't get me wrong, there were loads of things that I loved on the site, but I guess the 'sensible' side of me was subconciously trying to get more bang for my buck!

Needless to say, this was a complete waste of 2 hours that could have been spent studying.

Here is some of my Topshop basket:

I have just realized, that this is probably why Topshop added a wishlist feature to their website. Doh!
