Lyon (Part 1)

Hello darling Borrowers. Mommy E and I were both on holiday, sorry for the absence from the blog. But we are back now, Mommy E all tanned from Sonar and myself slightly less tanned but relaxed from holidays at home.

Spent a few days in France with Michael and my family to celebrate my birthday a couple of weeks late.

  It was very hot and I was glad to have my new Sessun dress, very light, perfect for the sun. It's funny, a couple of weeks ago I was saying how much I loved this summer's Sessun collection but how overpriced it was. And then, all my favourite items were on sale half price in UO. Bingo. I ended up getting the matching pink playsuit as well.

We had a fabulous lunch in an amazing restaurant. Check these out! And they were AFTER dessert, yep little treats with the coffee. Yumster.

Oh also, check out the quality of the photo...and why is that? Because I got a new camera for my birthday! My own Canon EOS 300D. It's brilliant, especially on close ups of food!

 

 

Can you guess the location? The water should help you...

More French adventures very soon...till then, have a lovely weekend! Xx

There is a life after Football

Happy Monday Borrowers!! Yes I survived the first World Cup weekend, but it wasn't easy...Although I managed to get a good deal: one game = one post. I think it's fair enough :) I've got about 4 posts overdue already!

I thought I would take a little break before showing you Essaouira to get back to more outfit related posts.

First of all, mega kudos to my super Mommy E for her amazing outfit + post. Can't wait for our July reunion, we will be making dindins and listening to Jazz, dancing in the kitchen. I'm listening to Joshua Redman just now. Also at the end, a SHOP update!

Rhododendrons are my favourite, they are one of the reasons I love Scotland. Come May and everywhere in the countryside and city centre you can see bushes or forests of wild rhodo.

Details of Morocco treasures: leather satchel, silk scarf and Berber bracelets.

Michael, style genius, look at this layering of shirts, with my shirt that I didn't want to carry!

And the boys, kicking the ball of course, what else should we be doing between two football games?

Have you been suffering from the World Cup?

 I think I'm starting to like it...(hypnotised robot voice on)

Pigs They Tend To Wiggle When They Walk

Once again, a Mommy Reunion in London!! This time I (Mommy M) went down to London with Michael and the boys to see Michael's favourite band, Pavement (2nd time afte Glasgow last week, it was RAD) and of course met Mommy E beforehand!

REUNION

We met up in Brixton and had super sushis in Fujiyama before heading off to the gig. Mommy E was looking well hot in her denim + leather combo. I took the newly arrived Raccoon tail out, it's so soft it's like having a pet attached to the belt! Great inspiration raccoons seen on The SF Style.

Without planning it, our shoes were absolutely matching! Pretty mind blowing, I know.

Details of stripes and polka dots and tartan and fur and denim and leather...and an animal creeping in my jeans!

Enjoy the show!

Hidden Gardens

Spent the weekend enjoying the last of Gi, Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art. Our first stop was Tramway, were the artist Christoph Buchel's work, entitled Last Man Out Turn Off Lights is a huge, realistic sort of prison/ work camp, with half a plane in it. Crazy. And worth seeing!

Tramway has got this lovely garden at the back, called the Hidden Gardens where you can relax in the sun. It's a sort of sanctuary. This black tunnel I am in is the work of the artist James Yamada and it called Our Starry Night. You get in the tunnel the lights turn on outside depending on your personality. It's lovely at night.

You saw this dress already a couple of weeks ago, but doesn't it look so different with yellow tights?

Oh and to the question: Oh My God are these Swedish Hasbeens...the answer is YES!

My friend Ross was very impressed by the Hasbeens. He was looking cool in his vintage Eagles tshirt and his cardi from a charity shop in Melbourne.
