Levi's and Lazy Days

I cant remember the last time I've actually done nothing... but today i got the rare chance to just chill in my garden with my puppy, reading magazines.

Its been ridiculously sunny these last few days so i ended up going for a few drinks last night with friends and naturally ended up sourcing a wind machine, dancing to Sclub7, making friends with a man sleeping on the street and causing a riot in the 24hour shop.

This is what i've been wearing today, even though its been a chilled out day i feel like i always have to make some kind of an effort with my outfit.

It's feeling totally summery just now, i hope the weather stays like this for next weekend! Camping in the rain-not so fun.


Happy Friday!

Reverse

This is the dress i wore to my friend Eilidh's 21st on Saturday and its by a brand called Reverse (which you can also find on ASOS.)

I absolutely love it, I was drawn to the statement shoulders and on trend print straight away. The only sad thing is its one of those one hit wonders and i don't think i'll get away with wearing it again any time soon -its a bit too inconspicuous.

Eilidh looked amazing in this dress from AllSaints:

 Its just right in so many ways! She styled in with a taupe harness belt that unfortunately i cant find a picture of. Oh and while we're on the topic of pretty tasseled items.. LOOK:

I saw this on topshop.com yesterday and fell in love. Sadly it's going to have to be a long distance relationship as the bank balance says no!

Love

Shopping trip

So this is what i wore on a shopping trip today! It is my little sister's 19th birthday today and my friend Eilidh's 21st on Monday so i was hunting out some lovely gifts for them - probably one of my all time favourite things to do. And then there's the wrapping! all materials supplied by paperchase :)

This is the jumper i bought from H&M on my lunch break the other day, I couldn't decide between the cream and the black, and almost resorted to my usual "just buy both!!" solution but Karena persuaded me to go for the cream and she definitely made the right choice.

The necklaces and jeans are from AllSaints and the bag Topshop Boutique. The fashion show all went to plan last night, some of the hairstyles were totally amazing- pics to follow! Now i am off to get ready for some more Birthday celebratory drinks tonight, ahhh. My liver hates me.

Late Nights

There's something really refreshing about going out for a walk in the dark. I live in a really quiet area so its safe enough and Its great for clearing your head after a busy day.

Another thing that sets me up for a good night's sleep is some Liz Earle facial cleansing! Honestly the stuff is amazing, I swear by it.

First you start with the hot cloth and polish treatment which leaves your skin so so soft, then sometimes I use the exfoliater depending on how my skins looking and then I finish with the toner and moisturiser. They also have an intensive cleansing mask which I use once a week or something just for a little revitalisation. 

 It's pretty reasonably priced and if i had to pick one out of the range it would be the Hot cloth and Polish which is only about £15 for a bottle (magic in a bottle).

Oh also a friend showed me this song the other day and i really like it so thought i would share it with you guys too :) it's really pretty and great for a relaxing night time listen.

Hope you like

White Denim

I'm a big fan of white denim these days, in particular jeans and shorts. These are DIY levi's with a cute little leopard print patch on the pocket, the only problem is after spending approximately half an hour at the beach i had already managed to get them dirty..

I'm still planning on taking them festival-ing with me though, grass and mud stains are all part of the nonchalant festival look :)

I've got my favourite leather jacket on again which will definitely NOT get to see any festival action. I think if anything happened to it it would take a good few weeks of mourning to come to terms with the loss.

I'm really enjoying this gong necklace too, as you can probably tell by the amount of appearances its been making lately. It just seems to go with everything i put on.
Oh and if you get the chance i totally recommend you check out "The Pin Stripe Prince"'s blog, he's an amazing writer and pulls together some really cool looks, check him out here.

Love Nic

Hippie Wasteland

I don't wear many girly dresses but i saw this one in Topshop and couldn't resist it's cute hippie vibe. In our store it was only available in Petite but you might be able to get it in other sizes online. It totally reminds me of one of the dresses my mum had when she was younger which is maybe why i was so drawn to it!

These photos were taken by my friend Jeremy down at the beach and then in one of the fields near my house, it was a really nice day as you can probably tell by the vibrant blue skys- perfect conditions for dressing like a hippie and frolicking in the fields!

I think its going to be a relatively quiet weekend for me, I'm going to a little restaurant called Moonfish for lunch with my sister tomorrow so it will be nice to catch up with her again. Other than that i think I'm going to be hitting the Uni books big time!

Oh and I've been obsessed with this song for a little while now, it definitely deserves a listen. I'm a big fan of Birdie's version too.

Infamous Crochet Shorts

Shorts- H&M
T-shirt- American Apparel
Ballet Pumps
Bag- Miss Selfridge

Yay, Im so happy I finally sourced a pair of the infamous H&M crochet shorts! I love the way they fit, they look kinda huge on the hanger but actually fit like a glove :).You can't see them too well but im also wearing my little Ballet pumps, I rarely wear flats but live in these shoes when I'm around and about the house.

It felt so summery today I love being able to drive around with the windows down, its my favourite past time. I was on a little road trip out to Macro to purchase 1kg of sweeties for the goodie bags for our Uni Fashion show next friday. If any of you live in Aberdeen or near you should definitely come :) -info on how to get tickets is here

I went to a little French restaurant called Cafe Boheme for dinner last night and the food was amazing, they have this Salmon Cupcake dish which is actually presented as a cupcake- paper and everything. If you live in Aberdeen or are ever stopping by I would definitely recommend it, some of the best food i've had in ages.

We ended up going for drinks afterwards and meeting a few friends which resulted in 2 hours sleep and a teepee but thankfully I'm feeling surprisingly fresh and off to get some Ice cream!

Lots of Love
