THE AWKWARD GIRL'S GUIDE TO LIFE
I’ve been relying on my sunglasses even more than usual, lately. And, I mean, it’s true to say that I’m rarely seen without sunglasses, but most of the time it’s because I’m secretly a vampire (As you can probably tell by the colour of my legs in these shots: I promise …

Hey, remember that awesome outfit I was planning to wear at Easter, only it was freezing that day, so I ended up wearing jeans instead? This is that outfit, folks. Yeah, I know: it was well worth waiting two months for this, wasn’t it? I mean, it’s SO DIFFERENT from the …
Because I have my finger right on the fashion pulse – not – and therefore rarely manage to scramble aboard the trend bandwagon until it’s well and truly left the station, I finally bought a pair of culottes. They cost me £5. Last of the big spenders, huh? To be honest, …
As you can probably tell from all of the outfit posts I’ve been doing lately, summer seems to have arrived early in Scotland this year (She said, cruelly tempting fate…), which has been both a blessing and a bit of a curse, really. I mean, it’s MOSTLY a blessing, obviously. Some …
I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it again, but, as much as I love dresses, they can be a little bit samey. Take this one, for instance: it’s one of my absolute favourite items in my wardrobe, but, when it comes to styling it, I always tend to …

Where have all the outfit bloggers gone? I was thinking about this over the weekend, as I scrolled through my Bloglovin’ feed, and all of a sudden realised that there aren’t many outfit bloggers left there – by which I mean people posting purely about what they wore every day, as …
Before I go any further, I just wanted to say a quick thank you for all of your comments on Saturday’s post about Rubin: I couldn’t respond to them all individually (mostly because some of then made me fill up – in a good way, I hasten to add), but you’re …
September: it’s a funny old month, isn’t it? Sometimes it’s hot, sometimes it’s cold. Sometimes it still feels like summer, other times it does a passably good impression of the very depths of winter. You just never really know where you stand with September, do you? It’s like everyone’s least-favourite ex-boyfriend, …
So, I totally forgot about my plan to make August 3rd of every year the official Red Gingham Skirt Day… …mostly because it was one of the stupidest ideas I’ve had in a long time, and I speak as someone with a LOT of stupid ideas bubbling away in her head, …

A couple of weeks ago I had the closet clear-out to end all closet clear-outs. I mean that literally, by the way: as in, there will be no more need for closet clear-outs in this house any more, because I cleared those closets out GOOD. Maybe a little bit TOO good, …
Actually, I think it was technically afternoon tea which Terry and I had at Hopetoun House this week – not high tea, at all. I just couldn’t resist the alliteration of the title, though, so I’m just going to go with “afternoon tea”, and hope you don’t know the difference/can’t be …
This dress was one of my favourite purchases of the summer, so I was really happy to have another opportunity to wear it last week. This time around, I chose to style the dress in the classic red, white and blue style I love so much. I honestly don’t think you …
