THE AWKWARD GIRL'S GUIDE TO LIFE
There are certain events in everyone’s lives that have the ability to split everything into ‘Before’ and ‘After’- and nothing that occurs in The After can ever be the same as it was in The Before. I remember when my gran died, I scribbled out the date on the calendar that …
So, first of all, these photos were taken a couple of weeks ago (Because that’s how we roll now, apparently), so don’t worry – we haven’t had an unexpected slide back into winter, although there’s still plenty of time for that, don’t you worry. Secondly: when I said I’d bought “a …

That low winter sun is at it again, folks. (And yes, I’m very aware that I’ve spent the whole winter complaining about the lack of sunshine, and now I have the gall to complain about the presence of it, but what can I say: “fickle” is my middle name.) (Note: …
There are few things in life I like more than a classic camel coat. Well, that and miniature ponies, obviously, but everyone likes miniature ponies, don’t they? (Please don’t comment to say you hate miniature ponies: my faith in humanity is shaky enough right now, and I’m just not sure it …
When I promised you all a post on the mint green Boden dreamcoat earlier last week, I had absolutely no idea just how difficult it was going to be to keep that promise. The first time I wore the coat, you see, I left it so late to try to take photos …
Remember that mild cold I was complaining about last week? The one I was really hoping wouldn’t get any worse? Yeah, it got worse. Actually, by the time that post went live, it was so much worse that I was pretty sure I had the flu, not just the cold. (And …

I can’t believe it’s the middle of January, and I’m just getting round to publishing my first outfit post of the year. Actually, scratch that: I CAN believe it. (The lack of outfit posts, I mean, not the fact that it’s the middle of January. I really can’t quite believe that…) …
Well, 2016 may have been one of the worst years of my life so far, but I’m relieved to say that it’s going out on a good note: I got discharged from hospital! Yes, after 8 weeks of blood tests, scans and non-stop stress, yesterday morning we drove to the Edinburgh …
I wasn’t going to post these photos. I mean, let’s be honest: I’m dressed like a cartoon cat burglar, aren’t I? There’s just no ignoring it: in fact, I couldn’t have made this outfit look MORE like a cat burglar if I’d tried. Which I didn’t, just for the record: seriously, …
I have this cupboard under the stairs that I’m scared to go into. No, seriously: that thing is such a mess that the only way I can deal with it is by pretending it doesn’t exist. When I have to take something out of it, I do it as quickly …

Does anyone else sometimes match their outfits to their surroundings? If you answered “yes” to that, I’m going to take a wild guess that you’re probably a fashion blogger: because I totally wore this skirt because I thought the colour would pop nicely against the snow, and I can’t recall even …
As I was going through the photos for this post, it occurred to me that my blog has probably given you the impression that it’s been snowing non-stop here for weeks now. Actually, we’ve only had a few days of snow here and there, rarely lasting for more than a day …
Seriously, January: are you STILL here? Is it just me, or has this been the longest month ever? It’s been one of the hardest, too, and I’m not gonna lie: I’ve been stuggling a bit (OK, a lot) – not just with the weather, and the general feeling of gloom, but …
