I recently wore this outfit when seeing friends for drinks, and liked it so much that I wore it again on a day in the West End. So, I thought I would make a post to go into a little more detail!
A few nights ago I couldn't sleep at all, and found myself still awake when the sun started rising at around 3AM. I took this photograph at around 4:30 in the morning, while I was working on editing blog photos, sitting on my window sill with the window open letting in the morning air. From a mixture of sleep deprivation and the utterly relaxing silence, I found myself thinking about the film I had seen the night previous.
I felt like doing a little lifestyle post today, as I took a few nice photos at the weekend worth sharing. On Saturday it was my gran's birthday, and so the female members of my family headed to the West End of Glasgow to soak up the sunshine.
We headed to allotments near Kelvingrove as they were open for the public to take a look at as part of the West End Festival, and we knew it was something my gran would enjoy. They were a lot bigger (and more interesting) than I thought they would be, and so pretty! My favourite part was definitely the archway covered in flowers.

Boohoo have this handy holiday shop set up on their website, where all Summer clothes are bundled together for you to easily browse! Sadly, I'm not going abroad this year (I'm travelling to various places in the UK) so although I can dress summery, I can't quite go the full hog, y'know? But, I wanted to showcase the holiday shop somehow - so here is my "this is what I would buy if I were going somewhere scorching" wishlist!
You may have noticed when looking at my (Daily) Outfits posts, that I wear a lot of the same jewellery. I'm the type of person who puts in earrings and doesn't change them for three months, and who picks up the same necklace every day for a fortnight. So, I thought I would share with you the jewellery items that have become staples for me.
I was always one of those people was never too fond of leopard print. I didn't mind it, but at times I felt it could be a bit tacky and in-your-face. However, in recent times, two items completely drew me in, and for the same reason - the print is subtle.
Skirt // I picked up this Topshop denim skirt in the sale for a bargain £10, I'm a very happy chick. It was one of those "I didn't know I needed this but I do" moments. The mix of the shades of blue in the denim create a lovely worn effect and really tone down the leopard print, making it much more wearable (in my opinion) while keeping it more interesting than plain denim.
Dress // I wrote a detailed post this SheInside dress when I bought it, and I mentioned the small leopard print. Okay, Marilyn ain't so subtle, but I think you can agree that the print behind her is. The dots are so small that from afar the dress just looks spotted, and I'm besotted with it.
So, I may be a leopard print convert. I will not rule it out in the future, but I do still think I'll stick to my subtle patterns!
