I can't quite believe it is the first of november today..my final year at university is flying away from me, extremely scary! today officially marked my first application to a graduate job - makes me feel extremely old and not all that sure i'm ready for the real world, but definitely excited all the same :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
hope everyone had a great halloween! :) x </div>

I came across these photographs/installations a few months ago and totally forgot to share - i think they are amazing! <a href="http://slinkachu.com/" target="_blank">Slinkachu</a> sets up these little miniture people in everyday places, photographs them and leaves them as a street art installation, they really make you stop and take in your surroundings in more detail then you ever normally would! they are just so creative and make me smile :)<br />

i came across <a href="http://ohhappyday.com/" target="_blank">ohhappyday</a> the other day, and i just thought it had some really great creative, original ideas. this one in particular stood out and thought i just had to share. sometimes you get so used to the same dinner party set up, and i thought this was perfect when you wanted a bit of a shake-up in your routine without having to go out and spend lots of money, and this idea just makes it a little bit more personal :) </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
jounen kwéyòl (creole day), is a national holiday in st lucia - and is probably one of the most colourful days there are. the holiday aims to celebrate everything about st lucian creole culture, different towns put on festivals and street parties cooking up gorgeous local dishes such as green fig and saltfish, bakes, accra, bouillion and plenty of fresh golden apple juice and cocoa tea. everyone dresses up in national dress, including the most vibrant and beautiful madras. i love how st lucians embrace their culture and heritage and celebrate it in the best way possible, getting together with family and friends, cooking yummy food and having a bit of a party! </div>

about 6 months ago i was taught how to knit by my grandma, it was one of those things i had somehow skipped when i was a kid so was keen to learn and get knitting :) having previously been perceived as a nerdy or elderly past-time, it is amazing how much times have changed... especially being a student i'm always on the look out for ways to become thrifty! so, i began making my first scarf... now months down the line i can finally say i finished off the loose ends of my (now) snood and oh how i love it! and perfected just in time for the awfully cold weather on the way - yipee!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i also recently found <a href="http://woolandthegang.com/" target="_blank">this</a> website, its amazing and they have lovely video tutorials to help you along the way, as well as first-time kits which would make great christmas presents for anyone keen to start knitting :) x<br />

sometimes i really do wonder why i chose to live here... when you wake up, its dark, grey and you cannot see a few meters out of the window and all you really want to do is go back to bed! on the brighter side, the christmas market is coming to town in just over a month <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">and</span> i spotted the red cups starbucks sign today - wasn't feeling too bad after all! :) </div>

having just by-passed autumn altogether and gone from a soggy summer to winter in one clean swoop, it left me dreaming about gorgeous autumn wear that we've sadly missed out on this year! it seems to always be grey and drizzly here in edinburgh at the moment, oh how i wish for some autumn sunshine - however all is not lost when i can still get a scrummy pumpkin-spice latte and trick myself into believing it's not as cold as it really is (minus 5 this week - eek!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so had i had the chance (and superfluous amounts of money) i would of dreamt of some of these cosy autumn weather styles, especially that mulberry bag! :) x </div>

Olympic fever has truly taken over, everything has been super hectic over the last few months and I have finally now found a second to catch my breathe and hopefully enjoy watching some amazing sport on tv :) having made a last minute decision to come home and get some much needed vitamin D I couldn't be happier... The weather in Edinburgh has been so glum for so long now I chickened out and fled to the sunshine!! I will update everyone as soon as possible on all my summer happenings, until then take a look at my super lucky little (not so little!) brother :) x </div>

i'm so sorry for being so dreadful at keeping my blog going over the past month... i can't actually believe an entire month has gone since i last posted... since then i've had family visiting, attended my aunt's lovely wedding in ballater, celebrated the diamond jubilee, had a fab 21st birthday with joshy-bobs and even managed to move flats successfully! what a month its been, i promise to get back on track soon - until then here are a few photos from the past happenings :) </div>

my mum has done incredibly well, the past six months she has been working on changing bad eating habits and learning to really love the gym and doing lots of exercise - the change in my mum has been extraordinary, not only is she looking fantastic but you can tell she is so much happier within herself...all her hard work has definitely inspired me to try and eat a bit more healthily :) and so on my road to a healthier me, i will try and include some yummy healthy recipes along the way, hope you enjoy! </div>

-bag of mixed salad (i used the gorgeous baby spinach, rocket and slithers of beetroot bag)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

-fennel bulb </div>

-apple</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

place your mixed salad leaves in a bowl, top with chunks of the beetroot, fennel and apple, flake your fish into bite size chunks and add to salad. mix together a tbsp of your yogurt with a little horseradish (to taste) and the little fluffy bits from the top of your fennel bulb and drizzle over your salad. finish with freshly ground black pepper, a voila a yummy scrummy dinner, perfect for these warm summer evenings :) x </div>

in light of this gorgeous sunny warm weather (26 degrees in yorkshire!!) i have been dreaming of dropping everything and heading to the nearest beach for some much needed relief from this heat! i cannot really complain though, as surviving over 4 weeks of constant rain this sunny summer weather was such a huge delight, it is lovely to actually be able to wear summer dresses at last! :) have a look over on <a href="http://www.longdistanceloving.net/" target="_blank">long distance loving</a> for other lovely memorial day sun inspired friday fancies...<br />

i've always loved kate middleton's style, i think she has done such a fabulous job considering the royal pressure she is under, and has maintained such an amazing sense of style... always looking so chic and elegant it's a bit sickening sometimes! but this dress she wore to an olympic gala function i think is the best of the best, it is absolutely stunning; the lace detail, pleats and gorgeous belt just make this look incredible! :) x</div>

who would of thought you could literally take a concrete cigarette warehouse and turn it into one of the most magnificent cosy and inviting homes, as seen in the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2012/05/16/greathomesanddestinations/20120516-LOCATION.html" target="_blank">new york times</a>, a couple in san francisco have done just this and their efforts are unbelievable. i cannot even comprehend the courage and imagination it would have taken to visualise these wonderful outcomes they have achieved, i am honestly blown away. who wouldn't love a converted warehouse of their own? i have to say, i am more of a traditional girl at heart, with old period features and lots of character in a home, but i think i could now be easily persuaded :) x </div>

berwick is a sleepy seaside village in east lothian, only half an hours train journey away from edinburgh. it was a gorgeous day out spent wandering down lazy streets, past cute cottages, enjoying seaside fish and chips and finding the most amazing castle ruins i have seen... the views just blew me away! perfect way to spend my first day of freedom after a beyond hectic few months :) x </div>Gemmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16386850506336453400noreply@blogger.com0
