Musings From Above The City

The city thrums with life, like a careful oiled machine. The streets criss-cross and intersect in a complex maze stretching almost to the horizon, full of hidden alleys and curves leading to dead ends, all too easy to get lost within. The traffic traces routes through it all,…

Outfit of the Day – Dainty Dress

I love that this dress allows me to look a little fancier and more dressed up, with minimal effort involved. It's a nice, thick, warm material, making it perfect for winter months, and pairs well with boots. The dress itself is black and white, so the blue cardigan…

48 Hours in Edinburgh

So my sister came to stay with me for the weekend, the first time she’s done so since I moved out to go to university. She hasn’t seen much of Edinburgh beyond Princes Street, so my challenge was to take her to as many things as possible in…

Musically Inspired – Keeping Connections

Some people come into our lives and leave it again, leaving no lasting impression behind. Others leave footprints on our hearts. Some people are more important to us than others, so when you find the ones that are, hold on to them. (Source) The world’s population…

Outfit of the Day – Reflections

The order of the day is simple, but fun. A t-shirt and shorts combo couldn't be simpler, but I like to try to make my outfits a little more unusual than just that. I think this top is really cool, as it's an image of a river, with…

Country Life – Visiting Home

For the past three years I’ve lived in cities, in Scotland and France, in order to attend university. But of course, from time to time I visit home, at weekends and during holidays, as I did so this week. My main priority is to see my family, of…

Outfit of the Day – Layer Up

It's no secret that checked shirts are everywhere at the moment, but I thought I'd try to style mine a little differently. Rather than wearing it with jeans, I've layered it over the top of this dress, for a slightly different look. It also makes this dress, which…

Oktoberfest in Edinburgh

For anyone unfamiliar with Oktoberfest, it’s a beer festival held every year in Germany (in October funnily enough!). However, it’s growing popularity has led to cities all over the world putting on their own versions of Oktoberfest, so when I discovered that Edinburgh was having one this year,…

642 Things – The Cleaning Lady

"The cleaning lady" (Source) Every day you pass her in the hall. Every day she wears the same uniform, the blue apron, so practical and nondescript. Every day she empties the bins, vacuums the floors, cleans the bathrooms and wipes down the surfaces. Every day she smiles and…
