Remember that time I had a blog!?

Aye! Sorry pals! Been a bit out of the blogging ways recently. Mainly due to my new full time job as Vice-President! It's all down hill from here...

Well a wee catch up for you all, the past couple of months I have been:

1. Spending all my money in Zara - The summer sales have been a little disappointing this year but trusty Zara has been dishing out the good stuff as ever! 3 new skirts have seen me through this Summer (a term I'm using loosely).

2. Chillan in Portugal! I spent a luxurious night in Lisbon in the beautiful Corinthia Hotel before shooting up the North Coast with my four favorite girls for some reading by the sea.







Guess what chic chika works at Agent Provocateur....
My dress was ASOS
Flump coloured Shorts and Lacy Top - H&M
Bikini Top - French Connection
Skirt - Zara
Sunglasses - Ray-Ban

3. Going on a few nights out...


 


4. And then there was the dancing show!







I'm now living in the lovely Dennistoun with my amazing best pal Bob. Pretty much loving life. 
This weekend we are off to Horse Meat Disco in Glasgow's Berkley Suite. It is sure to be a show stopper of a night, I promise to give you all an update! ;)

Graduates of Heriot-Watt School of Textiles and Design

     Just want to say a HUGE congratulations to all my fellow Heriot-Watt University graduates who completed their degrees this week. It has been a long time coming and I think this year, Heriot-Watt has produced some of the finest, new designers Scotland has to offer. With a selection of our Gala Gals being short listed for Scottish Fashion Awards' Graduate of the year and many of us already receiving job offers - we are a force to be reckoned with!

    If I had to choose one to watch - my pick would be Miss Coryn Dickson. I have known and loved Coryn since we met as sprightly young 18-year-olds when we moved into our questionable rooms at halls. I have watched Coryn grow and develop over the past 4 years into a talented, dedicated designer. After a handful of various internships including a summer at Alexander McQueen. Coryn has developed her own unique style of designing contemporary menswear with a twist of minimalist detailing that is both beautiful and masculine at the same time. Check out the promotional film of her collection - I am pushing 100 views fo' sho! (I swear it has nothing to do with the desirable man candy looking bad ass...)


    RIP to Tarquin - The car you see being bashed in was our group of pals' favourite old banger that some how managed to pass its MOT every year and provide us with many fun trips to and from the Borders. It seems somewhat poignant that he would finally give up the ghost in our final year and serve his final purpose as a prop in this video. Forever immortalised.

Best of Luck to all you splendid graduates!
Lets hope it's one of us that scores the covetable Fashion Graduate of the year at the SFAs - buy your tickets for the Glasgow event here!

A little Festive Indulgence...

Hiya Pals!

Happy New Year!!

The past two weeks have been an surreal blur of turkey, roast potatos, sale shopping and booze. I wish I could say I have something to show for it. I don't. But boy did I have a good time! Considering I usually dread New Year and all it's complications this year treated me well with a 12 hour marathon of good company, new friends and a whole load of disco music. I also seem to remember a mini ceilidh in there too!
Notes I am making for next year are:

1. Always make sure you make too much food. Leftovers are sooo much better for hangovers than Maccy Ds.
2. Allow at least one day inbetween events for recovery. I am too old to party continiously and my skin is less than amused at me.
3. Having in your possesion a nice fancy jumper will keep you cosy at any after partys while still looking festive.
4. I suit wigs (see video) and should use this to my advantage.
5. I need to find something to top this Christmas present for next year:


I'm told I am the best girlfriend ever. Just saying. He might be baised... but I'll take it!
Here's to a New Year - A year of dissertaions, exams, graduation, the fear and many more memorable moments!
