So we are all settled in our new home, and the internet has finally been connected! The flat is beyond beautiful, and we're finally getting everything squared away so hopefully I can share some snapshots of it soon. I've got a crazy busy day today, lots of people to meet, birthdays to celebrate and fun, so this is just going to be a quick post. 

I took these photos earlier this week, it's nearly a full outfit of Primark, which is terrible, but I love the way it all came together (especially with my new hair). I'm wearing Primark booties (£8), a Primark skirt (£5), Primark romper (£5) and the cardigan and belt are both thrifted. I love the pattern of this romper, the little bunnies are just so cute! Unfortunately in typical Primark fashion the collar on it isn't quite even, it isn't really noticeable except to me but I've been finding it really annoying. Might explain why it was a fiver...

Anyway, I'm running off to meet a friend off the train, have a great weekend guys!

Life continues to be crazy, busy, and unless I am round visiting my parents (like now) internet free. I've got to say I've found it much more difficult to get up and dressed in the morning without a quick dose of blog reading. Also a lot more difficult to decide what to wear. I always forget how many little things need to be done in order to get settled some place new. Figuring out where to take outfit photos, the best place to buy fruit and veg, the closest duck pond... And that doesn't even cover the stuff inside the house. It is fun discovering all these things though.

Now, I've got to run, five minutes online is all I get, I've got work to do, dogs to walk and a boyfriend who I have missed dearly to cuddle.

I'm going to miss summer, the smells, the feel of the sun on my legs, the long walks with the dogs. These photos are from way back at the start of August when we went out to visit a couple of friends who live right on the outskirts of Edinburgh. It was a wonderful weekend and I took so many photos to remember it. We've still no internet at the new place so if you've left comments or emailed me or anything I'm sorry it is taking me so long to get back to you. Hopefully we'll have it sorted in a couple of weeks and I won't have to keep visiting myt parents to get my blog fix!

One of my favourite things about my new home is how pretty the neighbourhood is, there are so many lovely buildings, lovely gardens and stylish people. I haven't had much of a chance to explore yet, but I did have time to take a couple of photos of my street. I'm still in the process of unpacking and moving stuff around but I cannot wait to take some photos of our new room, and hopefully find somewhere nearby where I can take my outfit photos!

 This story about a free shop for the homeless in Edinburgh makes my heart happy.

This list of things to do when you're feeling down is a sure fire way to cheer yourself up

A quick reminder to look after yourself and don't be embarrassed ladies!

Somewhere in Edinburgh has already started putting their Christmas decorations up, eh, what?

Do you guys really think you can judge a man purely based on his first date shoes? The French should be glad I don't...

I love these photos from The Dainty Squid. I love cemeteries and Kaylah has really captured the atmosphere of this one.

Amber's blog story is fascinating, I'm thinking of writing my own version of this post, and I'd love to find out some more people's stories of how they got into blogging.

This story about Atos makes me so incredibly angry! Basically they decided who deserves disability benefits, pity they are terrible at their job. There have actually been a number of protests outside their offices since this article was published. 

 

The rain coat made from recycled materials is fantastic!

Anthropology's Edinburgh Story is absolutely stunning, so dreamy!

It's been circling the internet for ages, but I love this story about why dogs have a shorter life span than humans, it always makes me tear up and want to cuddle my own little monsters.

 

In unrelated news the new flat is absolutely fantastic! I'm so happy. The weekend was spent moving stuff in and then hiding last night as Scally was terrified by the festival fireworks. The cats arrive later today (eep) along with flatmate number 1, and hopefully we will be sorting out internet later this week. I'll take photos and all the jazz as soon as I can!
