Street Style - Style in the City - Bexion Boutique

So ladies of the North East of Scotland...and beyond actually...I've just found out there's this luxurious online boutique, with its roots in Aberdeen. They've got some of the sexiest pieces for miles and their mission is "You'll be Famous for being Fabulous". Love it! 

Get a load of just some of their chic pieces . PLUS they run all kinds of amazing offers. Visit and like their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/bexionboutiquestore for all you need to know.

Street Style - Vintage Emma

Emma's style oozes girly vintage right from her cute 20's side-curls to that gorgeous retro belt.

What I have to love the most is the necklace. Was passed to her from grandma...awwww...

Style Food - Moonfish Cafe

On trip advisor, Moonfish has been rated in the top two amongst restaurants in Aberdeen for the longest of a long time.

I know why. Their food is...flawless. I mean...I'm no expert fancy food critic but my taste buds know when they're happy. And Moonfish have the key to their happiness.

The only downside for me was the size of the place, it is a bit small, everyone's conversation is within earshot. But Sally (my friend who's decidedly cooler than I am) insists "the size adds to the charm". So...there you go.

You must forgive me for not getting the main course photos; we had emptied our plates before I remembered. Greedy betrayal. I know.

Moonfish Cafe...I'd go again. And again. And again. And then just one more time. 

Street Style - Aisha

It wasn't hard to notice Aisha's happy coloured accessories in our grey city. Love the look. #LOVE!

 

Street Style - Jiffy Style

Actually this should be labelled under 'Style Find' but hey...who's regulating? :)

So this is the beauty of a satchel I now proudly own. It's from the UK bag designer LYDC and costs just £19.99!

Fortunately, our local TK Maxx stocks them in different colours. So go grab yours and yeah...thank me later ;)

Style Find - TK Maxx Rummaging

I'm sure you all agree that TK Maxx is one of those stores that should be walked into only if you're certain you have special powers of spending discipline.

Impulse buyers beware!

So anyway, I walked in yesterday and was smitten (yet again) by some uber stylish items which I thought to share. 




"The Bone Bowl"... I don't have a dog, but I bought this for my neighbour's golden retriever, Sula. Guess I'll be getting some sloppy thanks soon :)





Now...I sat on this beauty and stretched my weary legs...lush, blissful, would buy, love it, MUST BUY!



 

I took one of these retro pieces home with me...what can I say...I'm a sucker for all things quirky




Just a closer picture of the Bone Bowl I found on the net.

Street Style - Dotty Retro

Here's Kara. Love her vintage inspired polka and denim; and of course paired with the cute socks and red trainers, she was an easy target for my camera.

Enjoy...

 

 

 

Street Style - Rebecca in Neon

Summer floral is good looking; Neon is never boring.

Rebecca is no shrinking violet in this bold ensemble and she made the bright Aberdeen day that much brighter. On trend and in style.
Enjoy...

 

 

 

Street Style - Kaylea, ethnic chic

It's not everyday you see an Aberdonian in tribal mode.

Kaylea effortlessly pulled off her ethnic elements from head to toe. 

Style Event - 'Surfing The Don' - Photography Exhibition

Sunday 7th July, I went along to Seventeen at 17 Belmont Street for a photography exhibition.

The focus was to display captured images, past and present of the River Don, a breathtakingly beautiful but often forgotten river, whose corridor cuts a swathe of blue and green forming part of the urban fringe of north Aberdeen. 

The photographs were impressive and I lapped it all up. I thought I'd share some of my faves from the day.

STOP PRESS!...
...there was one child exhibitor, cute little 6year old Nadine. Had to get a photo of her and her photo...what a confident little burst of energy she was too!

The exhibition continues through July and August and in the words of Alicia Bruce (www.aliciabruce.co.uk), "it's time the Donny got a share of the spotlight". 

Street Style - Ashleigh in Neon

Vibrant colours are never out of style. And neon CAN look sophisticated...as shown by Ashleigh.

Enjoy!

 

 

 

Street Style - Model off duty?

Well no but she could easily be :)

Style Event - EVERYTHING

Last Friday 5th July, I attended the 'Everything' event which I'd been very kindly invited to by an organiser and I had a blast!

It was everything I expected and everything I didn't. I knew it would be creative and entertaining but I didn't imagine I'd be wowed by the range of artistry on display.

From short film productions to photography to paintings to sculpture to the fashion show finale, it was well worth my time. Let's not forget Mr. DJ's fresh eclectic choice of music...

The weather was of such loveliness, it only heightened the cool vibe...did someone say to me we hit 23degreesC that day?

Here are photos of my favorite looks at the fashion show and some of the works of art on display. For more info on the designers/artists, go to the 'Everything.' facebook page.
