Pocketful of Sunshine

(You know you want to... Add us on BlogLovin'!)

About twice a year, we here in Scotland are graced by the presence of the beautiful sun.

People go crazy and take their clothes off and run around the city half-naked.

Never mind if it's barely 13 degrees...

Srsly, sometimes it's hard not to pity these people who have lived a lifetime of sun-deprivation.

Today I'm wearing one of my most cherished skirts from Culte Femme that slightly resembles window curtains with its cascading drapes. Come to think of it, I get a LOT of outfit inspiration from the houseware department. Not only do I like skirts that look better on window frames, I have also have many a times blended in with a couch while sporting a brocade jacket.

I'm also carrying my least favorite bag: the ubiquitous entry-level LV speedy. I loved it to death when I first got it 6 years ago, but now that everyone has it, it has lost its appeal. I think Edinburgh is the only city in the world where I hardly see anyone toting it so I'm not as bothered using it here...because let's face it, it's an extremely practical bag that can hold all the contents of one's life.

Or in my case today: a basket-full of groceries.

Oh and meet my twin from another mother!
Ida and I have the same past: she's from everywhere too,
the same present: both of us are studying a 'serious degree' to avoid being typecast as a mindless shallow person who is into fashion...and to appease the parentals,
and the same future: we will change the world by eliminating one fugly outfit at a time!

She is also frickin hilarious and brutally honest-two qualities that instantly warm me up to a person.

Love how she toughened up her white eyelet minidress with a biker jacket.
And that huge-ass gold watch and her door knocker ring are divine!!!

I still can't believe I met her two months before she heads back to Londontown! :o

This is unfortunate since I so rarely meet non-dull people in this city.
