‘The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.‘ – E.E. Cummings

I just came back from a wonderful weekend in Edinburgh. A weekend filled with delicious mussels at The Outsider, cocktails at Bar Kohl and a picnic in the highlands with a basket full of philosophy & poetry books. It’s hard when you run your own business to accept that you are allowed to switch off, yet in moments of idle thought, heated discussion, or whilst on a long walk great inspiration can be found.

Scottish Style File: I took my new ME & ZENA heart ring £15 with me whilst I bought these Willow Boots £195 Kurt Geiger I love the equestrian edge of these riding boots. A velvet blazer like this one from Diane Von Furstenberg £140  is a winter wardrobe staple + .J.W. ANDERSON Pleated Leather Gloves £195 

Scottish Fashion Designers 

SCOTTISH FASHION DESIGNERS: Glasgow born, Jonathan Saunders, whose S/S’13 collection (below) featured ‘plenty of lightweight knitwear, with delicious sequins applied to knit cardigans and pencil skirts’ has a brilliant way of making patterns wearable. Blending textures into clothes like with the gorgeous, weaved knit (£236 ) below.  The Outnet has an amazing discounted selection at the moment.

Holly Fulton’s refreshed take on art-deco always has me swooning. I’m hoping these 2 looks from her S/S’13 collection will miraculously appear in my wardrobe.
