Weekend trip



   Last Saturday we decided to have a short visit to Edinburgh. 
  We had a pleasant stay at Thistle Hotel, a former Georgian Town House, where I liked how the vintage style was put together with tiny bits of modern touch.
  Also the weather, I have to mention this, wanted for us to enjoy the beauty of the city.
  We just wandered through the city centre, strolling on the streets. It was Fringe Festival, so there were so, so many people everywhere, at different shows, in bars, on streets etc. 
   For a perfect way to end a day we went to a jazz bar, which I recommend to everyone to give it a try.
   Now I'm going to let the photos tell the story for you.

Day in the park



  The weather was perfect for the clothing mix that I had in my mind. And I couldn't wait to wear this jacket. I like very much its pattern. 
  When it's so nice outside I enjoy reading a good book in a park. It helps me relax.

Out and about




    This is the outfit I picked up for an early evening out. I like the pink tone of the blouse, it goes very well with the colours of the jacket.
   The necklace is a travel memory, bought it from Palma de Mallorca. It was made by one of the locals.
   P.S. I'm a huge fan of National Geographic magazine.

Vintage Red


 
   Sometimes I enjoy dressing and mixing up pieces of clothing that are or just look like old-school.
   It's quite fun to play like this, to have an idea of how it felt like wearing some kind of clothes. 
   This outfit presented here maybe doesn't look really vintage, but I like it a lot.

Leather, burgundy and a little history


   
   When I moved in Aberdeen I was looking on the internet for local attractions and so I discovered a little gem. I wanted so much to go and explore the historical and delightful corner of Aberdeen. Finally I got there.
   It's about the village of Footdee, known locally as 'Fittie', a little village inside a city. 
   It's an old and small fishing village at the east end of the harbour. The cottages are uniquely decorated, some of them have lovely small garden plots and potted flowers. Some fish families are still living in the houses, but the area is no longer predominately lived by fisherfolk.
   When we were walking around and admiring the houses and the gardens, it felt like taking a step back in time. 
   A very nice place, we loved it!It is worth visiting it, just to take a look at the tiny fairytale cottages.

Tartan all the way



   We had a great day for finding beautiful new places. This time we discovered, by accident, Loch of Skene part of the Dunecht Estate. 
    Interesting place, also the weather made the walk even more pleasant. 
    I've found these trousers in a vintage shop and instantly caught my attention. I really, really like them.

On our way back home we stopped at Rubislaw & Queens Terrace Gardens:
