Silver & Gold

A couple of weeks ago I spent a lovely wee afternoon prancing about the grounds of Glasgow University with Ashley. She took my photos while we got filmed for a case study of a great new app for photographers which is about to launch on kickstarter. I'll get a link up and explain more once the campaign is up and running - it would be great to hear the opinion of all you great photographers out there.

Apart from my preppy jacket from New Look many moons ago, the favourite part of my outfit was my new ring from Rocks By Rana. I've got the Kathmandu Jali ring in Moonstone. Here is a pretty close up...

There's something about the moonstone that is just mesmerising. I've not taken it off since I got it and I'm a bit ashamed to admit it is the first 'proper' ring that I own (something that doesn't turn my finger green after a few hours!) The brand are extremely proud of their British Nepali heritage and the amazing silver and gemstone workmanship which takes place there. And no wonder - with hallmarked sterling silver, homeland sourced gems and the most beautiful designs, I am utterly in love. It reminds me of the rings and other jewellery that my Mum used to wear when she was my age, and I always remember twiddling with on her fingers or around her neck. Rocks By Rana are offering a 25% discount for my readers with the code LITTLEBLOGOFHORRORS. This offer is valid until 31st of March. I think I actually might get something for my mum for Mothers Day :)


Not much jewellery on at all in this picture, but here's one of my Mum when she was just about to turn 24 too. That little bubba is me of course :) I absolutely love my Mum's style when she was my age, and to be honest it isn't far off my own. Denim shorts, chunky brown belt and bright tshirt. I think I'd quite happily wear that dress I have on today if they did it in big people sizes too!

I've been enjoying a couple of weeks off work at the moment but my own bits and bobs have been keeping me super busy. Had a proper big spring clean of the flat yesterday and rearranged a lot of furniture, and my girl Katrina flys out to South Korea tomorrow for a year. Our wee home won't be the same without her :( So we're going for some Thai food tonight as a last supper (I need to promise myself that I won't cry all over my curry) I ended up not making the Scottish Blogger Valentines night at the weekend because I'm still a bit sore on my crutches, and a trek to Edinburgh on my own was perhaps a bit too adventurous of me to consider. I'm so not used to getting out and about at a super fast pace like I normally do! Everything seems to take ten times longer. But tomorrow I have the hospital to get a check up and MRI scan on my knee so they should be able to tell what the damage actually is.

I've not had any opportunities to get all glamorous and dressed up this year, so I have been taking a lot of pleasure sitting with my leg propped up and finding some dress inspiration for parties, nights out and other social events this summer. White, gold and bare legs seem to be quite a theme. I better get rid of these crutches soon and get some sunshine about my pale skin! :) All my picks are from MissesDressy.

Do you like? There is something very Katy Perry-esque about the last two which I just adore!

See the Complete MissesDressy Formal Evening Dress Collection on their website. I think I took a bit of inspiration from Jennifer Lawrence and her bridal glam look at the Oscars. What an absolute babe, and a really cool chick too.

 Tomorrow after the hospital I've got a preview screening of a movie I worked on during the summer. It's the first big feature film that I've worked on so I'm really looking forward to getting a sneak peek. All the details are pretty under wraps just now, so it's not the sort of event I'll need to jump on the red carpet with a fancy dress like the above for. So I'll just need to save that for the premiere ;)
