Edinburgh in Bear Ears

 

Top: Primark

Jeans: New Look

Boots: Kurt Geiger

Watch: Michael Kors

Heading off to Edinburgh at the weekend to celebrate my cousin's hen do! Lovely overnight at The Roxburgh Hotel in the city centre where all the family were together celebrating. For a daytime look I opted for this blue high neck blouse. I love the cut of the top and it doesn't cling to my body creating a thinner waist. The lace inserts at the top add that extra touch of sass!

Knowing we were heading out at night and the attire was to be elegant (my evening outfit will be in a seperate post) I opted for a more casual daytime look and paired the blouse with my staple skinny, shaper jeans and brown boots. Trying to find the balance between casual and dressed can be a tricky task, I always find a pair of jeans and a dressed top can never go wrong in the fashion stakes!

Coat: Asos

For any fellow Scots out there you will know that the temperature has taken a severe dip! This particular day was no exception, in fact, I think it was possibly the coldest day we have had so far this year. Don't get me wrong, we have been pretty lucky thus far with the snow situation, being that we haven't had any - yet! *touch wood* So I opted for this huge faux fur coat in the mind-set that a) it is so cosy and warm and b) it can switch up from day and night effortlessly!

My first day off all week and I was heading into town to meet my mate Kirsty for lunch. Yes, my day off and I head into Glasgow where I work everyday, I even ended up in my store because of Kirsty looking for some things - so sad! We headed off to Prezzo for lunch where I had the most beautiful salad with chicken, spinach leaves, peppers, goats cheese and mushrooms - absolutely delicious! The bottle of Rose wine also helped!

I still love the whole tartan trend - must be because I am Scottish - and I am spinning it out in January as much as I can! I love that this isn't a bright red tartan, it's a subtle green shade, something a little different. Trying to team tartan can be pretty difficult so I kept it simple with a plain white T and a gold chain (which Kirsty actually bought for my birthday!).

For eyes I used my Bobbi Brown Eye-shadow Palette and used all four shades. I find the palette quite difficult to work with if I am being honest. Can't get any colour on my shadow brushes and so I had to opt for caveman times - fingers! Really not a fan of using my hands to apply foundation/ eye make-up but I am chuffed with the overall look! Popped on the red lipgloss from the Limited Edition Mac set this year to add some colour!
