...Timorous Beastie.

Yes, the wonderful Glasgae based company that is Timorous Beasties has had a re-vamp on their website & for someone who has had the delightful opportunity to work for this company, it was nice to see it getting exciting new features, commissions & such.

Give it a gander peepsickles. Tis totally worth it.

A Little Bit Of Reminiscing.

That's us hit the month of November. Can't quite believe it. Where on earth has this year gone?

Been reflecting on where I would like my work to go. On thinking on this, I have been looking all the way back to the year 2009. Seems

like donkeys ago. I forgot how much work I did that year (& how many routes I wished to have taken that were untouched... To venture down I think).

Here's a few wee bits & bobs that I like & would like to work

back onto. Let me know your thoughts peeps.

Autumn Adventure & Discoveries.

BBBBRRRRRRRRRR. The tempeture here in Edinburgh aint half dropped. As I keep on repeating to customers, it's bitter outside. Starting to soundmore & more like my Granny every day. Super cool.

Had such a major productive day yesterday. Was very chuffed with myself though as I EVEN had work in the afternoon. Was out & about in town by 10am in the chilly air, on my many missions of the day.

First off, hit oor old trusty chain store chemist/beauty/all-round superstore that is Boots to get my eyes tested. It free to get done there & you can normally get them tested on the day you pop in for a visit. Alas was not the case for me yesterday (sod's law) however, I'm booked in for Friday after work. Had a good spy at the frames they have on offer & it is more than likely that I'm going to spend a small fortune on two pairs of glasses. Meh, think of the advantage points.

I then ventured along Princes St. up Cockburn St. to a wee shoppy (to which they have two stores in The Burgh) called Swish. A cool, funky t-shirt place, which you can get your

own print/design produced & printed onto t-shirts/hoodies. A VERY exciting place for a Printed Textile Design Graduate, as you can imagine. This was to discuss, size up & cost of the GENIUS idea I have had for my Dad's Christmas present. After this visit (in which I think the guy who I spoke to could tell I was dead happy with myself for this idea) I have discovered that I'm gonna deck my Dad out in a super-fly American Apparel t-shirt & even treat myself to an AA. hoodie in which I'm gonna pimp out w

ith one of my own designs. I. Was. In. Heaven.

After picking this poor dudes brain, I popped into treat myself to my new seasonal drink, London Fog. A combination of Earl Grey tea, vanilla syrup & hot steamed milk. Num. Num. Whilst consuming this delish drinks, I wondered round to Ripping Records to purchase myself & my dear friend Miss Leslie tickets for Professor Green. I'm not gonna lie, he is my new ab-fab fave. I could go on for absolute DAYS at how much I like him. He just comes across as such a lovely guy, who is passionate about music. Let's face it, I. Am. In. Love. Who knows? Maybe there will be a spark between the two of us while he's on stage & I'm in the crowd. A girl can dream.

My day wasn't finished yet (granted it was only about 11.45am by this time) This visit was followed by me strutting along down the Cowgate towards the Grassmarket. One of my favourite parts of The Burgh, no this isn't just because of the amount of pubs that area has to offer. It happens to be very pretty looking, which helps. I was popping into this new exciting little boutique that opened this August & has had quite some success. A friend of mines who graduated the same year as me, Hannah Livingston has created this wonderful little cove named 'Black Box Boutique'. So lovely with so many unique, one-off treasures & trinkets. I walked in & would have loved to have been able to afford ALL it had to offer. WELL DONE HANNAH. Unfortunately I had just missed her as she is a very busy lady, but I shall return & left her a wee note of well wishes.

After ALL of this, I was very hungry, in dire need of a cuppa & a sit down. Remember, I'm getting old now. The ripe old age of 24. So returned home, made myself a craicin' baked tattie & had a well deserved rest before nipping out to work at 4pm. Good productive day eh?!

These Boots Are Made For Walking.

Yesterday, on my day off, I treated myself to a little walk up to Corstorphine (I know, get me... treating myself with a walk... I'm so good to me!) Thought I'd have a wee wonder round the charity shops, an absolute FAVE past-time.

As per usual, fell in complete love with a pair of boots in the first shop I stepped into. Ended up leaving them at first and not trying them on as there are about a gazillion wee shops in the area and didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket ken. So ventured round the rest and even went for a wee coffee and cake before I returned.

I'd totally set myself up for a fall just incase someone else as gone in a scooped up them thar boots.... Thankfully they were still there and my size... IT WAS MEANT TO BE. They are a little similar to the image above, however they are not Kurt Geiger but still as gorge.

Bewitching Jewels.

What a wonderful Sunday it has been! Went out for a coffee/pastry with a dear friend and a look round the more expensive shops of Edinburgh. I love to pretend to have the money to afford their pretty goods they have to offer.

While having a right good spy at all the designer lines, I was stopped in my tracks by the most magnificent clutch. The Alexander McQueen knuckle-duster clutch to be exact! Just look at it... sheer beauty!

This has also made me desire and wish for one of McQueen's cocktail rings. If anyone is reading and wished to buy me a present in the near future, the antique gold-tone plated brass skull cocktail ring with bumble-bee swarovski crystals would do nicely, thank you very much!
