Vintage Hunting in Portobello.

Heya...

I hope you all have had a great few days and a wonderful Christmas for those who celebrate it! Its always sad when the noise dies down as relatives leave the house after boxing day, but a post about a vintage day shopping in Portobello cheers me up.

I hadn't been to Portobello market since the summer, so I was keen to get back and rummage around the treasure trove of shops. It was a beautiful crisp winter morning to I took the opportunity I got to wear my faux fur white vintage coat. It was warm, elegant and perfectly vintage for the occasion and I loved styling it with casual pieces to tone town the glamour and glitz associated with (faux) fur coats.

I didn't pick up any clothes, however it was a day for accessories! We hadn't even reached the market before being hypnotised into a glorious shop packed with hats. I have always wanted a felt floppy hat and I finally got one! I love it so much and I really think it brings any outfit up to scratch if you want to look more sophisticated.

Once we reached the second hand clothes stall, I spotted a rainbow of scarves all on a rail. They were all beautiful, but somehow I managed to find one I loved in the myriad of colours and patterns. Its a late 60s-early 70s gem and I will definitely be styling it for you in a blog post soon so don't worry, you shall see it soon!

Christmas Baking!

Heya...

If there's one thing I love about Christmas, it's the naughty but nice food that appears out of the kitchen! I love baking this time of year and the ultimate Christmas bake would have to be gingerbread! 

Gingerbread men would be the classic, although I do think stars and snowflakes are very dainty and make gorgeous gifts when wrapped up with a festive bow. They do require a bit of effort, but the end result is always worth it!

These are my attempts at the Christmas classic.

Hope you enjoyed reading this festive post, as there are lots more to come!

tweet me your xmas bakes @Snapshotgirl117!

A frosty Morning...

Heya...

Last week the weather suddenly got super chilly! About time too really. though I'm not loving having to cocoon myself with a blanket every morning when I have to get out of bed! 

After waking up ridiculously early for a hockey session which didn't happen due to frosted pitches, I decided to take this rare opportunity to photograph the beautiful frosty leaves and flowers scattered around my local park. These are a few pics I snapped, hope you like them!

What I've been up to!

It's been a while guys...

And I've missed my little space on the internet to voice what I love about  the world so I thought I would fill you in on what I have been up to since those long ago summer holidays.

LOTS has been going on in terms of controlled assessments, crazy homework loads and hours of art prep for a mock I did recently so there haven't been too many exciting things going on.

However...

I did go to Scotland at half term for a few days, in which I DIDN'T get rained on! Heheh it must have been a miracle, although it definitely was cold and windy.  We were only there a few days however I feel like I've seen the main bits of it there is to see!

Cute, curious and intricately stacked shops lined the cobbled streets, not to mention a few quirky cafés we passed as well! Vintage shops like Armstrong's Vintage were a dream come true and all the stuff in there was really well priced, compared to the inflated snooty prices in London! 

The art gallery we visited was great, as I am actually starting to enjoy visiting them! When I was younger, I moaned all the time but now I find myself surprisingly enjoying them, trying to get my head round what the work means and how it affects me.

It really was a lot of fun seeing the wacky art in there, but this post couldn't be complete without a outfit from Scotland so here it is:

Leather Jacket - Random shop in Florence

Jumper - Topshop

Skirt - Topshop

Hope you guys liked seeing what I have been up to and I promise, it won't be 4 months before my next post!
