snippets from this week...
which involved leisure walks around the new neighborhood.
We will be venturing into the city centre this weekend at some point I'm sure.
I have to get re-adjusted to using public transport..
In Nottingham we could use my Irish boyfriends car more often because the city was more spread out..
but to have use a car here, in Glasgow, is like using a car in New York..
pretty pointless.
Unless you like sitting in traffic..
which actually I do..
I am from LA after all..

but apparently using the car here is just silly..
whatever.

What I wouldn't give to be able to drive here..
darn those manuals..
that drive on the wrong side of the road.
double fail.

You cant tell..
but the *ladies looked really big in that sweater.
It doesn't happen often
so I have to celebrate it via public blog when it does.



*the ladies: my breasteses

  2. You have no idea how jealous I am that you're living in Scotland (let alone Glasgow!). When i was living in London, it just felt too...big, and I wished I could scoot up to Edinburgh or Glasgow, find a cozy place there and just enjoy the sound of the Scottish accent :)
    And yes, when the ladies look big in anything, it's an accomplishment!

  5. my ladies look good in some sweaters.

    might be because i wear that boost-2-sizes-bra from VS. Adam claims it's false advertising.

  11. driving on the wrong side of the road sounds fun, but I am the person who doesn't drive well on the right side.... so attempting it might be a little suicidal.

  12. The large house that isn't yours is stunning! It looks so warm and charming!! :)

  13. im a public celebrator too. usually the boyfriend dies a little from embarrassment.

  14. When I was in London, I loved not having to drive but still being able to go all over the place. Of course I had paid a transit fee before the trip that filled my Tube pass for the entire 6 weeks. So it didn't feel like I was having to pay to go anywhere. I imagine not having a car feels a little imprisoning, too. But I live out in the boonies where there isn't a real town for 15 miles. Cars are a necessity! It would be nice to live somewhere where I didn't depend on one so much.

  15. You are so funny! Scotland suits you quite well and I am so happy that you are happy! Have a great weekend!

    P.S. I thought of you yesterday when I filled up my Zara cart with 100 things. I was good and only bought 2 things. :)

  17. Loving your outfit! I love the look of plaid shirts layered under sweaters.. Also, that house that isn't yours is so stinkin' awesome looking.. When I was in Germany I was always in awe of how stately the homes looked. Love euro architecture
    xo,

    and hallelujah for shirts that show off the ladies. i don't really need special shirts, but boyfriend doesn't complain when i find an especially awesome one.

  19. I can totally tell your ladies look big in the sweater.

    it's all I notice when I look at the pic.

    my ladies look pretty big also in my pics. but that's only because I bought them that way.

  20. The photos are gorgeous and here here to breasteses looking big in clothes :-) Hahaha!

  21. so my exboyfriend and i lived in the city center in aberdeen. I walked to work (in the city center but hello.. 1.5 miles each way! (including in the snow) and he drove to just outside town for work. literally hed get there sooner. and would be upset when i wanted to take the car to the theatre or shops in the city center claiming it was so close.

    moral of the story:
    wear flats
    invest in very very thick socks in the winter (and waterproof boots)
    insist that the boy does what you want (use the whole weaker sex thing.. or ur ladytime.. whatevs. :>)

    love the flat!

  22. blogger did not like my post. :l

    wheni lived in aberdeen (so close to edinburgh) i lived in the city center with the ex. i walked about 3 miles to/from work also in the city center (also in snow!) and he drove to work just outside the city center for literally less than it took me to walk. then when we wanted to go in town he insisted we walk.. :(

    moral of the story:
    flats
    waterproof boots + thick socks
    insist the boy drive. we are the weaker sex after all? (dont be!)

  23. This fireplace looks amazing and I love that you used the word 'breasteses' :D
    I spent the last two weeks in Ireland. Tell your boyfriend his native country is one of the most exciting countries I've ever travelled to! Can't wait to go back someday.

  24. Whenever my 'ladies' look bigger I want to tell everyone. The mail man. Coworkers. My husband is not a fan of my enthusiasm. haha But he is a fan of the 'ladies', so he deals with it. ; )

  25. How cool is it that you got yourself a man that likes to take your picture. Possible keeper, that one.

    I wore a shirt once (and had a picture taken in said shirt, no less) where everyone (read: mom/sis/and the man that is mine) said that my ladies were huge.

    From then on I wore that shirt as often as I could. I revel in those comments...

  27. Great sweater :) And your place is looking very comfy.
    Welcome to the world of public transit! After 4 years of living in Ireland with a guy's company car as a manual and wrong side of the road driving, I quickly became very familiar with buses and trams. Same goes for Dubai - luckily the metro here is convenient. :)
