Pastels and Jumpsuits

This weekend was spent in bliss, nestled away in the Highlands of Scotland with my nearest and dearest. We got blown about on a windy walk around the loch and then spent the evening eating gorgeous food, drinking wine and playing Articulate by the fire. The girls lost and the boys won but they weren't allowed to gloat for too long!

For the evening meal I wore a black H&M jumpsuit and a pastel pink ASOS jacket with my trusty Matalan strappies and Primark bag. I also recently got a new Makebelieve lipgloss which just looks like glittering diamonds on your lips! 

Haggis Chasing and Tartan Wearing

I was brought up in a teeny tiny little village in the North West of Scotland where I spent my childhood Highland Dancing on the pier and playing Kerby outside my house. There is no cinema – unless you count the infamous ‘Screen Machine’, which is basically a lorry which comes to the village every couple of months, parks up for 3 days and opens out into a 50-odd seated “cinema” showing the finest in 4 month old films which are probably already out on DVD. There are no clothes shops and there is no train station.

And I love it :-)

I left home 7 years ago to hit the bright lights of the city, but I do try to make the 4 hour journey back as much as possible – which isn’t too often due to this pesky little 9-5 I have that eats most of my time! The village is absolutely beautiful - cosied away in the hills on the edge of the loch, it really is my go-to place when I just need some time to step away from it all and relax with my family and old school friends.

Last weekend I got a full 3 days at home which were spent drinking endless cups of tea with parents, grandparents and in laws (you can read about my boyfriend’s Mum’s gorgeous cottage here), a run around the hills in gale force winds (it is Scotland afterall), steak and wine night with my Mum and her partner and of course I managed to fit in a wee 3am party…

Saturday’s lazy and hungover outfit consisted of an H&M jumpsuit covered with an H&M cosy jumper and Primark tartan scarf, worn with my trusty Supergas.
