Falling in love all over again.

December 17, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I have fallen in love again. With leggings.

I was a bit horrid to them all summer, opting to put them to the back of my cupboard and ignore their pleas for wearage. But after facing the bitter cold and longing to wear shorter than short dresses I have found myself digging them back out again and rekindling the love.

They say when it rains it pours, and boy is it bucketing down leggings in my huosehold! I can’t get enough of them! I have been snapping up a variety of styles, and look forward to adding to the collection even more so this winter!

I have made three calculated choices however, 1 being I will not buy into the whole liquid legging look- I do like it but you can swing a stick without whacking someone with a pair on; 2 I will not buy cotton leggings, simply because they are a bit boring and 3 I am only buying longer than long leggings to ankle or not at all I say!

My favourite purchases so far are my wool leggings from American Apparel - expensive but worth every penny, so cosy and look kind retro when worn with my spray on dresses, and secondly my plain ole shiny mix leggings from H&M’s, love them so much because they are mildly baggy at the ankle so look borderline not legging if you know what I mean??

Like any other gal out there I do have a few cheeky numbers I would love love love to own… but simply cannot afford. The first being the Sass and Bide Leather Rouched Leggings.

Future purchases possibly include the American Apparel shiny silver foil leggings, not sure what I would wear them with but they just look like so much fun! I had really wanted the Topshop sequin leggings, but alas, everyone has them! I would be but a sheep in a flock! Whatever I choose to purchase they will deffo be a bit wacky… something jazzy to go with some stripper boots…. 90’s trash. hmmmmm yummers!

Hello there stranger

December 11, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Wowee it’s been a long time since I did a post! With Christmas fast approaching I have been mega busy at work and buying pressies! Although I have to admit all this spending on other people has left me with the desire to buy something for me!

As it seems to be the internet that I am doing the majority of my Christmas shopping I have also been having quick peeks around the online shops for myself! But I have to say it’s proving to be a fruitless search! I am a die hard follower of Topshop and ASOS but is it just me or does everyone seem to be a ‘diehard’ fan of Topshop and ASOS these days! I feel I can’t buy a top or dress from Topshop without someone a) telling me they were going to buy it or b) walking in with the very same item on! It makes me feel a bit done over! I like to have a wee unique outfit and then lo and behold everyone and their grans is wearing the same chuffin thing! What I am essentially saying here is that I am on a Topshop and ASOS boycott and in search of pasture new to spend my few but well earned pennies! I know I could hit the high street but Glasgow City centre at Christmas is ghastly! Far too busy for me, I get shopping rage far too easily!

Am super excited at the prospect of my online retail hunt! Any suggestions welcomed!
