Leopard print. Cosy. Furry. Pink.

I actually wore this outfit a couple of weeks ago. It's like I could tell that, a few weeks later, it would get right cold again and be all snowy and that I'd want to bust out some weather appropriate shit on the blog. Man, I am like so forsightful. Intuitive? Whatever.

But seriously, unless you're in Devon (and gawd knows those guys deserve a break after all the rain they've taken), what's with it being so cold again. Though, I must say, I'm a big fan of seasons behaving as they're expected too. The 10c in January stuff we've had recently was starting to freak me out. I thought Scottish summer had come early. It might have. That might be it over. *cries*. Anyway, should you find yourself in need of warmth on a chilly day, might i recommend to you this get up:

Hat: Primark, Coat: eBay, Skirt: Topshop, Jumper: vintage, Nike trainers: schuh, Necklace: H&M (present)
Double leopard print, in different colours? Check.

Cosy and appropriately loud jumper? Check.

Big bold neck-piece? Check.

I am good to go!

Yet, ANOTHER new trainer obsession. For realz. I mean, you put leopard print on the trainer and there's a good chance I'll bite...

I'm such a dude in my Nike Air Max

How's your "festive period" going? I hope those of you who are working are having nice work days. To those on hols - yay! I hope you're having fun! My main plans are to get to the gym a bit to combat festive munching and to just chill out before 2013 kicks in, in earnest.

Today I share with you: trainers. Non gym trainers. Cause you don't wanna see my manky gym kicks. Actually, my gym trainers are rather nice too but, still, no-one needs to see them. Yup, I know I hit you up with some Nike I'd got at work a wee while back. Since then, I have acquired some more. These I got for my birthday from Mr Scribbler.


Look, they have leopard print on them! If a girl's gonna embrace a trainer, then one with leopard print is definitely the way to go. And look at the super bright neon red lining! Plus, let'sw be honest, Nike Air Max are just cool, alright?

I wore  them to work a few weeks ago on 6 music's 'Wear Your Old Band T-shirt to Work' day. I think I was rocking a flithy cold that day too though, if I remember rightly, hence the jumper over face look:


An improvement, some might say. Truthfully, this isn't an 'old' band t-shirt - I got it when I saw Blur earlier this year. All my old band t-shirts either got worn out or I moved on from them. There's virtually no chance these days that you'd see me in a Symposium, Travis, Ash or Ocean Colour Scene tee. And I'm a hater when it comes to the fake metal t-shirts you get in Topshop and whatnot. One of my good buddies used to wear a low cut Guns 'n' Roses t-shirt but couldn't name a single one of their songs (love you Ian!). Each to their own, but it's not for me. So I wore my new-ish Blur t-shirt for the day. Travelling from Edinburgh to Wolves, To Plymouth, back to Edinburgh then down and back from London a few days later tells you I'm a real fan. Or, some might say, mad. I'm off to see them in Barcelona next year. Woohoo!


For popping up town later that day, I added my new headphones that the 3 mobile phone folk sent me (thank you!) to use with my iPhone. They doubled up nicely as ear warmers too, which was acers cause it was bloody freezing back then! And they kept the sound in way better than the in ear jobbies I usually use. Nothing for it now but to have a wee dance!
