Now Where Have I Been?

Source my-purple-dreams.blogspot.com

I'm one of those people who gets irate at "lazy" bloggers...bloggers who update sporadically, making me wait for days or weeks at a time for a new post.

And now here I am, under the same umbrella. BUT I do have genuine reasons for being incommunicado:

1. I resigned from my old job without the prospect of a new one. Ambitious move I know but worry not for the state of my pocket, I eventually got another, a much better one at that. But the search took a wee while, and monopolised my thoughts for a fair bit of time.

2. I was the Maid of Honour at a wedding recently. Had to travel across continents for this one, not to talk of the planning and shopping involved...hmmm...in hindsight maybe I should have blogged about that experience...

3. After all new jobs and weddings were sorted, I caught an aggressive flu. The type that makes the normally simple task of opening your eyes seem herculean...

Anyway, anyway, anyway I'm back.

How has everyone been? :)

Street Style - Ao Shen

Pronounced "Ocean", I bumped into Ao Shen last weekend. Such a happy guy; keen on his photography...obviously.

His style and his polaroid, I had to feature.

It's so cool that the Polaroid has somehow survived through the increasingly digital age. Love it!

Enjoy :)

Street Style - Kate

Apart from traipsing round Aberdeen looking casual chic, Kate also organizes the charming March Hare & Craft Vintage Market which I featured in a post HERE.

She was at the Candy Belle Vintiques fair and so nicely nipped outside and braved the cold so I could get some photos of her.

So anyway, upon blog updating, I realized I really, REALLY want that dip hem top. First of all, it looks undoubtedly comfy, it's chic without being in-your-face trendy, I can wear it as a dress or a top as Kate did and it just generally looks stressless (cue observation of National Stress Awareness Day of which you can find out more HERE).

I'm nice, so I'll share the one I found on ASOS here. Comes in black as well, on sale, grab it while you can.

The neck piece Kate has on was being sold at the Candy Belle event; here's a closer look. Interesting names, no? They're made and sold by Aberdeen based BOTTLED TREASURES; see their website here.

Enjoy :)

Street Style - Joseph

Joseph was also at the Candy Belle Vintiques fair; and with this engagingly cool outfit, asking him to be featured on the blog was a no brainer.

He clearly doesn't take himself too seriously as he waltzed into the fair, bought a few outfits and went straight to put them on...no fuss, no moss...just a one-stop style chronicle.

I personally love the fact that the grey weather makes for no grey Joseph. Bring on the colors!

Enjoy.

What's not to love about these pieces of finger candy?

Street Style - Sarah Kennedy

I mentioned on the facebook page that I would be attending the "CANDY BELLE VINTIQUES" fair at The Thistle Caledonian. So I went along yesterday and it was a few hours of good vintage fun; rummages and finds and a bit too much money spent on my part.

Anyway, the best part was the organizers tasked everyone to dress up in vintage with the promise of a prize to the best dressed (to be determined by their facebook fans).

And Sarah Kennedy most definitely got the memo! I totally asked her if she's a relative of Jackie. I mean...seriously...look at the classic outfit and tell me your mind wouldn't have swung there.

Alas, she's of no such lineage. She's just a stylish singer-songwriter lassie from Edinburgh.

Enjoy :)
