Date Night
Gallery Hopping
I am a huge museum and gallery lover, as I am sure some of you will know and I love finding new places to go and explore. Mum and I went into town recently to scout out two new places starting off at the House of Illustration.

Turban – Stradivarius|Top – Topshop|Treggings – Stradivarius|Shoes – New Look|Jewellery – New Look (similar)|Watch – Mondaine.
This outfit I feel is a little out of my normal comfort zone but I absolutely love it! Its so full of textures including velvet, suede and ribbed cotton.
This has a very boho feel to it with the turban and layered necklaces and I feel like I will be wearing a lot more of this style during the autumn months as I love layering in the colder months. The shoes are an absolute dream, I love the lace up ballet pumps that have been floating about in the summer months but these are the perfect compromise for when I don’t want my feet getting cold.
The treggings from Stradivarius are so comfortable and can be worn as a smart or casual option so perfect for work but also a party. I love the two tone of these with the suede on the front and a normal black jersey on the back.

Finding Your Own Style
I loved fashion and dressing up from a young age; I could usually be found wearing all my favourite clothes at the same time with my mums hat and a huge pair of glasses prancing about my room like a proper supermodel but actually finding my style has taken a long time and I am sure its still evolving.
I have fashion regrets like most people; black shorts with turquoise tights at age fifteen was probably not my proudest moments but my fashion statements and designs filter through to create my current ‘look’ – I will always have a little bit of preppy Blair Wardolf in my outfit.
Fashion is all about experimenting and finding a ‘style’ that you are comfortable in. My standard uniform has become jeans of some description with most often a black crop top. It’s simple, I know it looks good and it’s comfortable; then when it comes to special events then I can really play with different ideas. I’m always inspired by film/TV characters, especially when it comes to party outfits.
Fashion can help you become someone else if thats what you want, it’s all about breaking the rules and doing what makes you happy; never let anyone tell you what to wear and what to not wear.

Prosecco and Giggles|23rd Birthday Dinner
This week I turned 23 and to celebrate among other things was dinner with my four closest girl friends.
Top – Miss Selfridge|Jeans – New Look (similar)|Shoes – Kurt Geiger|Necklace – Accessorize (similar).
Without getting mushy these girls have stuck by me through thick and thin and I would be lost without them.
We started off with a few glasses of good old bucks fizz before heading to one of my all time restaurants ‘Brocca‘ in St Margarets.
I went for the Coconut and Lemon Crusted Prawns followed by Braised Beef Rib with Parsnips Crisps and Wasabi Mash. Both were amazing but we skipped dessert and headed home for a spot of birthday cake.
I had such a lovely evening with my girls and they made getting a year older slightly easier!

Moon Child|OOTD
Hat – Topshop (similar)|Crop top – Topshop|Skirt – Brandy Melville (similar)|Boots – New Look (similar)|Tattoos – Lottie London|Rings – Accessorize.
OMG Kate’s wearing an all black outfit surprise surprise!
I love this outfit its so full of textures and the lighter boots really lift what could be a dull outfit.
I am not normally a skirt wearing person but this Brandy Melville one is the perfect black skater skirt for all occasions and it’s not crazy short either. The crop top is a little shorter than what I normally wear but doesn’t look trashy paired with the skirt because of the higher neck.
I wore this outfit for a film screening and thought it was a perfect smart casual get up.

History, History and More History|Orkney Day Two
Orkney is steeped in history, so on our second day we set off to see some of the amazing historical sights.
We started at Skara Brae. A Neolithic village which is older than both Stone Henge and The Great Pyramids.
You can also go into the bizarre house of the Laird who discovered Skara Brae; filled with trinkets from all over the world and his wives wardrobe which is to die for.
Afterwards we headed off to the Ring of Brodgar; a henge – much like Stone Henge – which is veiled in mystery but was used by the tanks in the war to practice agility.
Dungarees – Forever 21|Sweater – ASOS|Shirt – H&M(similar)|Bag – Accessorize.
The history of Orkney is still appearing as just down the road we stumbled upon an actual archeological dig – Yes I geeked out majorly.
Lastly we walked down to the Standing Stones of Stenness.
Now if that all seems like too much history in one day there is a convenient bus tour which gives you little time slot at each site so your not overwhelmed.
We finished off our educational day with dinner at the Stromness Hotel.
The food was absolutely amazing and the staff were lovely.
Make sure you didn’t miss Day One of our adventures.
