A Glasgow Girl

I bought these shoes in Next last summer. Next have really nice shoes, I really need to make more of an effort to go into Next to look at shoes cause they have some really lovely good quality ones. I bought these for my parent's 25th Wedding Anniversary at a gorgeous place called Seamill near Largs. It is the best. It holds a lot of memories and is beside the beach. They had a ceilidh (my favourite), however, these shoes are not very ceilidh friendly. Actually, in my opinion no shoes are ceilidh friendly. Ceilidhs are made to take your shoes off and have a good dance. I was at a ceilidh last week and I got so annoyed that no one else took their shoes off.  Here is the matching sparkly clutch. I also sang at that party and I nearly fell backwards in the middle of a song as they were so high. Walking in heels makes me look like bambi attempting to walk on ice.  These are the prettiest sparkly shoes and I always receive compliments when wearing them. They make me...

Today I along with two of my best friends went on one of our weekly walks. I want to keep fit and don't really like going to the gym so this is a good alternative. We met this little guy along the way but at this point I think he was playing dead as we all screamed so loud as he hopped across our path. (He's ok now, he hopped away after we took this picture :p)  Love,  Fiona xx

So yesterday I painted my nails. I'm trying to make a habit of painting my nails more, as I did a clear out the other day and realised I have a lot of nail polish. Perhaps too much. I just get so impatient waiting for it to dry. But here are my nails in the sky. My boyfriend and I went to a lovely local park, and sunbathed. In Scotland! Crazy, right? Sorry it's a little fuzzy. My boyfriend took it. Also I was wearing my new ring that I got in paper chase for 75p! It was reduced from £4 and I had been looking at it for ages and decided to treat myself. Unfortunately it broke later on in the day cause my boyfriend squeezed my hand too hard :p Here is a close up of my nails: The lilac colour is purple sherbet by Ciaté and the sparkly colour is white 314 (I wish they would think up more imaginative names) by Barry M and is part of the new sequin effect collection. The sequin one went weirdly lumpy on the opaque sections which was a little dissapointing as I'd been...

As mentioned in a previous blog post, I am not a real ginger person. I actually dye it red. I know everyone in Scotland is actually ginger, but I am naturally blond and a few years ago I took the decision to go red. And I haven't looked back since. I suit being a red head so much more.  However, it has brought some problems. Red dye fades the fastest, and all the upkeep is not only expensive but also bad for my hair. I use semi-permanent dye as I have heard it is better for the health of your hair and I get it done professionally as I find, for me personally, that it is less dry after a visit to the hairdressers. This product has really helped my hair in the past few months. Before using it, I found that my hair was getting tangled very easily. This hasn't been a big problem recently and I think it's down to this spray. On the back it says its a thickening leave it conditioner. I definitely think it has helped my hair to have more volume. I used to have such thick hair that...

The other day one of my Best Friend's turned 23. She is one of my oldest friends and I know she reads my blog so hiya Emma! Anyway, the point of this story is that she decided that what she wanted to do for her birthday day is have ice cream for lunch. Mmm mmm mmm. (This Emma is also my main walking buddy-the other feet featured in my picture in the post "Sun!!!"-therefore I think it is ok that we treat ourselves and eat a lot of sugar for a main meal as we have been doing a lot of exercise recently.) So, both of us and two of her friends from uni, went to visit a lovely little Ice Cream place called Nardini's in Glasgow's West End. It is situated in Byres Road, just opposite Hillhead Subway Station. We decided to be slightly good and the two of us shared a chicken and mediterranean vegetable toastie before the main event of ice cream. It was rather yummy indeed. I treated myself to a "Meringue Glace" Sundae. It had lots of meringue and sponge and vani...

I realise that many people have this nag and that there are countless reviews on the internet but I thought I would give my take on it. I bought this bag at the start of the year-it was sold out in every store I went in to so I decided to get it online. It cost £49.99. I wouldn't normally spend this much on a bag-I tend to use one handbag all the time and I like to carry everything with me so they usually collapse on me after a couple of months-but I wanted to treat myself after working hard all winter and this bag has not given up yet. It has a few bits of wear and tear at the corners but I think that it understandable after all this time.  As I already mentioned, I like to carry everything with me. I need a Mary Poppins bag. Whenever anyone needs something, I am the girl to come to-fully stocked pencilcase-check, tissues-check, curbis and bobbles galore-check, lint roller...-check, so I like a lot of pockets to keep some resemblance of order. This bag fulfills all ...

The other day I was doing some food shopping and saw a couple of products I thought I would try out. Having just finished university, I have been trying to cut back on my spending and thought that buying cheaper beauty products would be a way to start! The first product I found was from Tesco. It is Pro Formula Radiance BB Cream in Light. This is developed specifically for Tesco (which I think basically means that it is an own brand product) and was around £5. I have combination skin and therefore bought the normal/combination formula.  It has SPF 15 in it which will be great for when the sun decides to come back to us, or for when I go on holiday. It has Green Tea and Vitamin E Complex which sounds healthy and is hypoallergenic and they don't test on animals. Yay Tesco!  Before this, I was using the green L'Oreal CC Cream. To be honest, I didn't really like that product and haven't yet finished it. I did ask the girl at the counter if it was just one shade and...
