Lyon - Part 2

The second part of my Lyon holiday, finally. Sorry for the delay, we had a big family reunion here in Glasgow and have been busy celebrating my Dad's birthday in amazing restaurants :)

Now for Lyon, on the Sunday we went to one of my favourite place: the flea market (Les Puces). It was about 30 degrees at 11 in the morning and the antic pieces were melting in the sun! Managed to find a cute little plate and some really cool retro coat hangers, a bargain.

All the usual sellers like to come for a glass of wine in this little Bistro where you can admire the Football scarves and big hams hanging from the ceiling.

This little shop was crazy, full of old books and creepy dolls. I didn't want to touch anything as it looked like it might all fall like a card castle!

This dress is one of my favourite summer dresses. I got it in TopShop 2 years ago and it's a perfect fit. My gran once told me "You have to always stay think enough to fit in this dress, it's so nice!" Thanks Mamy Pink!

This bike was so cool, the tyres were made of wood, it was so old! Would have liked it for myself but I found out that vintage wooden bikes can be very expensive!

My Dad and getting lost amongst letters...

Will be back soon with some photos of the birthday in Missoni hotel, how very fashionable! Hope you are all doing beautifully little borrowers.

Ps: Stay tuned for a soon to come BoRO shop...

Origami Girl

Got this little origami in the sale the other day, oh I love a good Bargain! I love the sale, I usually try to get a good designer pair of shoes or bag half price. My best buys ever were my pair of Gucci black stiletos with the two metallic G at the back. Gorgeous, and I still wear them 6 years after buying them! What's your best bargain?!

I think it's a good deal! Saucisse the sausage dog thinks so too.

On these photos you can see the new beautiful xmas lamps, my Flamp in the back, so cool, and the big arc lamp...the bedroom now looks like an Amsterdam brothel, very relaxing!

I got this tshirt at the Fondation Cartier in Paris, it's a photo by Patti Smith.

Snug as a Leopardug in a Rug

Hello! Happy New Year everyone :) Hope you all had great holidays!

Time for the blog to stop being on holiday, which is why there is quite a lot of photos and photos of...the SNOW! It snowed a lot here and was so cold I couldn't go out without my furry gear! I thought maybe animal print tights would keep me warm, I was wrong...

Glasgow looks beautiful under the snow, I wish it could last for 3 months...The streets look like a Dickens novel setting, mid 19th century people walking on the roads, I was expecting horses to come trotting next to me!

My feet were so cold, despite the angora socks, that I almost envied ugly girls in ugly uggs. I sais ALMOST, the snow hasn't froze my fashion brain yet.

Hat: Michael's furry chapka, Gap
Scarf: Brown snood, H&M
Coat: Green TopShop
Jacket: Black big buttons, TK MAXX

I just found out that Gossip Girl isn't back till March and I have to say I still need to recover from that outrageous news...

I am now on holidays, looking forward to the two weeks off, xmas in Lyon, seeing my family, hanging out in my house, eating tons of delicious food...and then seeing mommy e in Oxford and New Years in London with Michael :)

I am making chocolate cakes and drinking tea in my Percy Pig mug, looking at the snow flakes.

Putting the big gloves on tonight: thai boxing to warm me up!

Style Chain Gang

So being like a newbie (or whatevs the correct internet lingo is for newcomer) I dinnae know a thing aboot this Style Chain thing... but I want in on the Style Chain Gang! Saw this over at This Time Tomorrow, run by the lovely Krystal. She has been the source of plenty of inspiration for Mummy M and myself - and now more than ever. Don't feel too bad about thieving/being inspired by her as she was previously inspired by Julie from Orchid Grey and Christina from Second Skin. We are all like dominos. Hope they don't mind me muscling in on this one...

Initially I tried this look minus the tweed jacket and although it looked pretty snazzy, it wasn't photographing very well. Dunno why like. Also these tights are a damn lot bluer on film then really life. Going for dinner my girls tonight (aka The Wheels) so this outfit is gonna get road tested. Varrrooooom.


My colour inspiration for this outfit was from a tapestry (yes this is a tapestry!!) that I picked up in France... ve morning I wake up and she is peeking at me from the end of my bed. I can't wait for my next flat - this is going to be the icon piece for inspiration for the whole flats vibe and decor. 70's sultery chamber for minx and her pussy.

Jacket: Tweed, Old school M&S, aka St Michael's, gift from real mum.

Scarf: Huge, itchy, three-tone pink number, thrifted from Watermelon, Glasgow.

Skirt: Tartan pencil skirt (hitched up to mini-size with the belt), hand-me-down from Kate, originally Topshop.

Belt: Tan leather, some vide grenier in France.

Shoes: Tan cowboy dingoes, Toriamunoz 's etsy shop
