Things to look at, places to visit.


A night out in Edinburgh. Music, mates & mayhem.

     A last minute stroll down to Electric Circus. What better way to spend a Wednesday night in Edinburgh, in order to indulge on the fresh and exciting sounds of four talented young lads; Bwani Junction.

     Vibrant both inside and out, Electric Circus is a gem of a venue hidden away on Market Street, in central Edinburgh. Bursting with energy, screaming ‘lets have a crazy night’, yet also somehow completely complaisant. The contemporary décor, great club space and fantastic bar leave no room for anything but a superb night. Not quite content with listening to music? Scuttle off with your bandies to one of the private karaoke rooms, there’s no fear of waking the neighbours in there!

     Bwani Junction played a lively, energetic, intimate set. You just can’t help but bob your head and tap your feet. The up-beat yet mellow guitar mixed with bustling, buzzing beats creates the perfect concoction, with the added bonus of carefully crafted lyrics. In particular, ‘She Aint Sayin' No’ could, without doubt, stir even the stiffest of souls.

     I left utterly content and rather excited about the anticipated first album release; at Avalanche records on the Grassmarket.

Peruvian Connection A/W 2011

Luxurious alpaca mixed with the beautiful and mysterious designs from far away in Peru. I found the whole collection to be quite magical, an inspiring collaboration. Full of intricate detail, fascinating prints and of course the classics we love.

Winter Warmer

What better way to keep out the growing chill. I'm in love with this gorgeous Helmut Lang fur snood. Most definitely making its way to the top of my Christmas list!

Middle Meadow Walk

Where: The Meadows, Edinburgh
When: Early May 2011
Who: Dunlop & Sarah
Why this makes me smile: We sat on the grass for hours. Smoked a lot of cigarettes and talked a lot of rubbish. It looked like summer but was still cold outside. The sunset was amazing. It made me happy to live in such a beautiful city and have the company of such a fab friend.

Must Have; Mustard.


Although the colder months are becoming more apparent and tights are now needed to keep out the chill, there's still room to brighten up and let the last rays of summer shine on. Mustard is this seasons must have colour. I adore these tights. Brightens up any out-fit immediately. 




Love x.



BOOM ... Bombay Bicycle Club

Tickets purchased; TICK. Can't wait to sway to the sweet, sweet sound of these luscious lads!

Just a little note....

NATHAN BLAKE, STAY AWAY!


Or face the consequences, love!

Mad about the Monokini



The lovely blue sky has made another appearance and the sun has dared to peek through the fluffy clouds. Yes, its that time of year again! Everyone is going on a fitness frenzy, preparing to bare all (or some) on the beach!  We have shifted direction and waved goodbye to the over used two-piece bikini, grown tired of the conventional one-piece and instead skip towards the monokini!  


I, for one, am very excited and embracing the 'cut out' with open arms! So thank you Rudi Gernreich, in 1964 a strike of genious (or maybe boredom?) , led you to snipping up the standard swimsuit! Controversial? I prefer the term fun! 


Straps, chains, strings, you name it, they've got it! There is almost too much to choose from!
