You may have been wondering where I’ve been for the last week or so.  Fact is I’ve been moving – I’m now settled in a gorgeous apartment in Edinburgh with big windows and high ceilings, and have only just got my head around a leaky washing machine, a toilet that doesn’t flush and a box room that stinks of wet wall paper.  In honour of my move, here are a few Scottish-themed buys to tempt you:

A: Check Skinny Leg Trousers at TopShop, £35.00 (GBP)

B: Check Strapless Dress at New Look, £25.00 (GBP)

C: Tartan Fabric Studs at TopShop, £5.00 (GBP)

D: Espresso Set in Tartan by Present Time at Amazon.co.uk, £4.85 (GBP) set of 6

E: Tartan Bow Front Clutch by French Connection at ASOS, £35.00 (GBP)

F: Around Scotland in 365 Days Calendar at House of Fraser, £9.99 (GBP)

Oh dear.  Just when I thought their new line was a bit too high school and tacky for me, I found these and realized that my love affair with River Island continues unabated:

A: Pleat Belted Shell Top, £29.99 (GBP)

B: Frill Neck Top, £26.99 (GBP)

C: Argyle Scarf, £24.99 (GBP)

D:Pleat Belted Shell Top, £29.99 (GBP)

E: Pleat Pencil Skirt, £29.99 (GBP)

Oh. My. God.

I need these in my life.  They can be used like ice cubes, but won’t dilute your drink.  If you’re concerned about the purity of your alcohol they’re also great – no impure water in these here rocks!

£15.99 for a set of 10 at Mocha.

If only someone could pay me to be fabulous, it would make it so much easier on my bank balance.  Alas, this is never going to happen, and that’s why I have to shop at places like Argos instead:

A: Black Glass Candelabra Set* by Inspire Collection at Argos, £14.99 (GBP) set of 2

B: Smoke Coloured and Clear Glass Clock at Next, £22 (GBP)

C: Terrific Cushion at Littlewoods Direct, £15.00 (GBP)

D: Ruby Stripe Cup & Saucer at Marks & Spencer, £7.50 (GBP)

I’m sure I’ve told you all before about Biome Lifestyle, one of the best eco-friendly home decor websites around.  The site provides you with stacks of homewares and gifts, and also has the capacity to allow visitors to create eco-friendly wedding gift registers!  Here’s some of the stuff I’m loving in their range at the moment:

A: Recycled Glass Vase* by Aducco at Biome Lifestyle, £9.00 (GBP) ea.

B: Chic Recycled Black & White Wine Glasses at Biome Lifestyle, £7.50 (GBP) ea.

C: Bubble Large Recycled Glass Vase* at Biome Lifestyle, £28.00 (GBP)

No move into a new home is complete without a strategic attack on the nearest IKEA, which is why I, along with my trusty side-kicks S and C, are going to be making a trip this weekend.  Here’s what I’m loving at the moment:
