To be fair the postboxes aren't to blame as I didn't bring my laptop with me down to England so I couldn't have posted anyway. I was in the office and out at meetings all day Wednesday and then my flight was delayed back to Glasgow from Heathrow and I didn't get home until almost 10pm at which point I decided to finish up some work and go to bed. So major apologies I didn't get What I Wore Wednesday up last week.
However I'm back! NBH and I haven't been able to get out just the two of us for a while now as my father-in-law and his wife are back in Thailand and my mother-in-law and her husband are on an 8 week retirement trip. Amazing for them but means we are severely lacking in babysitters! Luckily NBH's Aunt and her husband stepped up to the plate and watched Blondie Boy for us this evening so we could go out to dinner.
We went to the newly opened The Waterfront in Ayr. We'd been wanting to go for some time now and I'm glad we finally got the chance. It's right on the river so the terrace will be beautiful in the summer (just not quite now in the winter!) and only a short drive from my Mother-in-Law's house. I didn't get any photos of the starters because we scarfed them right down! NBH had a burger and I had the Fish Goujons both of which were super good and at only £5.95 for a main course (plus £3 for a starter) who can complain!
Okay but enough about the food that's not why y'all are here. Let's talk about the clothes. Two weeks ago I went to a mall while Blondie Boy was at school. I've been looking for a sweater with embellished spike shoulders for a few months not but not found one I liked but hit the jackpot at HM. I shouldn't be shocked since the vast majority of my closet is HM! I wanted to wear it last week but I figured I'd probably set off the metal detector at the airport and that wouldn't be ideal!
Spike Embellished Sweater- HM
Skinny Jeans-Old Navy
Leopard Heels- Dune
I'm so glad I found this sweater and it may not be everyone's cup of tea but it is very me!
I don't often talk about my makeup and hair (other than to complain) but I tried something different tonight. My Dad got me the Naked Palette from Urban Decay for Christmas so I used to dark brown shades on my eyes with a lighter more sparkly one in the crease. My Mom handed me down her Bobbi Brown Denim Gel Liner so I lined my eyes with that for a change from black liner. You can't really tell in the liner but I felt like the navy and brown helped my blue eyes pop.
I also have in fake hair. Yes I know you aren't supposed to admit it but whatever! I've been hating my hair lately; I'd planned to put it in hot rollers but while I packed up my roller clips, heat spray and hairspray I left the rollers at home! So I clipped in some hair extensions and voilĂ I have instant volume. I'm seriously tempted to get one put in semi-permanently. Have you ever had extensions? Good idea or bad idea?

I LIKE the spike-y sweater. And your hair extentioned hair. I have never tried those out!
Love your sweater! And to answer your question I have worn extensions for years! I currently don't have them, see my shoulder length hair, and am already missing them! It's really about the volume to me :). They look great on you and I wouldn't have noticed!

always love linking up and VOTED for you ;)
I've yet to come across a gold post box, but I'm sure I'd kiss it too! I LOVE your sweater, very pretty hair too :)
Ooohh! Loving the spikes! I just DIY'ed a similar sweater and I feel so bad a$$ femme when I wear it. I say if the extensions make you feel fabulous, keep 'em!!! ~Sarah
I don't know, I'd be quite happy talking about food for a while... ;-)
The jumper looks really cute and I like your hair, very pretty! xx
Thanks again for another fun linkup! Off to check out some others! LOVE that top!
Loving that spiky top and I think you look fabulous! Oh, and the photos of you in London - you look great in a hat, I'm so jealous and I want to kiss a golden postbox too!
I love the Naked palette. I've pretty much stopped using all other eye shadows. I didn't make it to Ayr while in Scotland...we only got to Alloway. I'd love to go there though. The spikey sweater is pretty awesome!

I love the sweater! I saw a grey one the other day and I was dying to buy it..but I am trying to be good with my spending habits!

Oh I really love that sweater!!!
Welcome back, you were definitely missed and looking good. I can never find anything at H&M - Your hair looks good and wigs and extensions are just accessories to your wardrobe - no harm no foul!
Oh, BTW, I am on Goggle+ = ablake48
Coveting your spikey sweater. and Welcome Back! You were missed :)
We are a new mother daughter blog that just linked up & followed your lovely blog! Your sweater is cool, love the studs!

I have never ever tried hair extensions because my hair is so thick and sometimes it gets annoying too. Anyway, you look pretty in your spiked top. I don't really limit myself to a certain outfit, so I would lurrvvee to try this style too! :)
Fun sweater! I've yet to find a top with studs that I really like, you lucked out! :)
I love H&M too and I love that sweater! Perfect! Before you even mentioned the extensions - can I just say that I was thinking how good your hair looks!? I've never had them myself as I have the opposite problem of having too much hair but I think you should definitely look into it - your hair looks amazing :-)
My fair is just really fine you know? Thanks. I've got a consultation next week!
I have seriously been looking for months; try H&M!
My hair is super fine--I think we always want what we don't have.
Thanks! I'm a stud obsessed!
Thanks Denise! Can't wait to check out your entry! I tend to go through in batches when NBH is working and once Blondie Boy is asleep :)
Thanks! Ususally H&M stock is the same worldwide so you should go look :)
Hmm I can't find you! Here is my G+ page though: https://plus.google.com/b/109159350028949620202/109159350028949620202/posts
Sometimes I go to H&M and find nothing and others I find TONS!
Thanks Bri!
I have no idea why we kissed it lol. The gold ones represent each of the UK gold medal winners from the London olympics--they have a postbox in their home town.
I'm really loving it! You'll have to go to Troon next time--that's where my Scottish man is from :)
Aww thanks! I got made fun of in the USA for this hat!
Dude I could talk food ALL THE TIME but I much prefer eating food :)
Look at you all DIYing! I suck at DIY!
I'm not sure if there are any in Glasgow--isn't that bad?
Thanks Cassidy! It would be about volume for me too--I have a consultation next week!
They are totally Jessica Simpson clip-ins! They aren't bad but you can't style them which really annoys me. It says you can but my curling want goes up over 200C and they won't curl.
Excited to see your first link up!
Some Aussie I think?
Thanks Nikki!
cute sweater!
Cute sweater! I love studded sweaters. =)
