Clemence Poesy Tartan Grunge Chanel

Another Leading Fashion brand following suit in Tartan Grunge was Versace in their Ready to Wear Autumn/Winter 2013-2014 . Red, Grey and Yellow Bold Tartans were wildly featured with contrasting electric PVC. Love Love Love, definitely taking elements and inspirations from this runway.


“Any self respecting Scot knows that a good tartan is the solution to everything: it tells you where you are, where you belong, who your friends and family are. Forget the Vikings: those guys just can"t hold a candle to a delicious battle-weary warrior whose fighting skills and wicked sex appeal have spawned a thousand Scottish heartthrobs.”  ― Trisha TelepThe Mammoth Book of Scottish Romance

Gordon St Garage Coffee Bar and Kitchen

One word Yum. Obsessed! I get all my coffees, cakes and juices from here, I am lucky in that it is right round the corner from work. With cool decor, friendly staff, yummy breakfast choices, fresh juices, killer coffee, freshly baked treats and even a kick ass ham and cheese toastie, the Gordon St Cafe is a place you have to try. Watermelon, apple and mint juice is a regular purchase for me. YumYum Yum. I took my boyfriend there today and his silence is testimony to how good their ham and gruyere toastie is.
