Glasgow 2013

It was once again that time of year when Jessie Grace, Sarah Lou and I take ourselves off to Glasgow for the weekend for copious amounts of food and drink.

With it being Scotland of course the weather was miserable (it just so happened that it was glorious back home too) but we didn't let that spoil our fun. 

Take a look :)

The pre-train burger king... such a beauty :/

Inside our hotel room and the snack we packed for our trip. Perhaps a little glutenous of us, needless to say it didn't all get eaten.

 

 Most probably our second favorite place in Glasgow, Hillhead Book Club in which we drank lots of this stuff...

 Mango and Raspberry cider.

See!

And then it was time for dinner at our number 1 favorite place in Glasgow...

Ketchup!

I think these might just possibly be the best nachos in the whole world...ever! 

Yum yum!

 Reading my new book ;)

Taking a rather dangerous yet amusing ride on the Glasgow Subway 

Sorry it took so bloomin' long to post this!

Till next time folks,

The Weekend

So as it turns out I didn't go to Cragside, that trip has been postponed till next Saturday due to the weather but I have a little catch up with a friend... Jessie Grace.
We went for a curry on the famous Ocean Road at the Royal Tandoori, it was absolutely delicious!

And of course there was drink involved...

On Saturday Myself and Pablo went for a Mexican, I thought it appropriate to dress in a 70s all in one suit.

Sadly it's not vintage, it's only about a year old and I found it in my sisters wardrobe and rescued it before it was sold on eBay but It does look rather groovy I think from the front...

and from the back.

The belt you see did not come with it, I had to take it off a Lindy Bop dress. It was almost an exact match colour wise.

I teamed it with a small green jacket to keep out the cold. It didn't work.

Till next time folks,

Untitled (due to the fact that I can't think of a title)

Just a quick post to show you a cute little hairstyle I did on Saturday :)

I used a quick and simple pin curling technique which I will be doing a tutorial on and uploading to my new blog (dedicated to vintage style hair and makeup) http://make-mevintage.blogspot.co.uk/ .

I put my outfit together using a fairly old pencil skirt which I got from George for (if I recall correctly) £8? and the top is also from George, it cost £12 and is still available online and in stores.


On a different and slightly less vintage note, Friday was fishbowl night with Jessie Grace and Sarah Lou.

I'd had a long week at work and could not muster the energy to do anything nice with my hair (don't judge me!) so to compensate I wore my old Lindy Bop Wiggle dress which hadn't actually seen daylight since January 2012, poor thing.

The crippling shoes I wore which prevented me from standing up all night. But it turned out to be a blessing as Jessie Grace and Sarah Lou had to go to the bar all night.

A slightly fuzzy picture of one of the fish bowls we had, I lost count after the first three.

A rather comical photo of me looking mortified after accidentally groping a man on the way back from the toilets.

Round Up

Well as I haven't blogged in about a week I'll tell you all what I've been up to.
I've mainly been making meatballs and pin curling my hair see...

 

Uncooked

 

Cooked... somehow I think they look better uncooked :s

My 'Secret sauce'

 I could eat these bad boys all day long.

Well that was the meatballs, now for the pin curls!

 

 Upon seeing this photo my little sister remarked 'urgh you look bald!' Why thank you Charlotte.

The night that these were taken it was Hannah Potter's Birthday Night out which of course meant us all gathering together to get sloshed.

Black Lindy Bop dress

We're so in love!

Till next time folks,
