"Yay it's summer!" I hear you say. Pah! say we in the Kingdom. So far we have little hint of summer here, other than this week. But us Glaswegians don't let that fool us into thinking summer has finally arrived in the city because we know that come next week, it'll be back to wellie boots and layers.
Since I'm still deep in my dark and scruffy biker phase, how do I at least make a nod to summer, in spite of the usual rain and grey skies? Good question, dear readers. Well the answer is simple - dig out the floor length, sheer Simon Preen dress and add a vintage biker cut-off leather on top to finish. Voila!
Not perhaps an entirely care-free summer look but it's as care free as it's getting, so take it.
Simon Preen dress
Vintage biker waistcoat
Klear Klutch bag
Balenciaga Bag
Undergound England shoes
Ray Ban sunglasses
I recently gave myself a much shorter fringe than I would normally as I needed a change. When I need a hair change it's a dangerous business as I tend to do something stupidly dramatic and proceed to regret it immediately. This was the less dramatic thing I could do without resulting in tears. I actually really like it. You can see my frown lines now though so I continually look angry. The upside is nobody bothers me. Every cloud and all that.

You look amazing, I adore this outfit and your hair looks great! xx

Yup, I think our couple of days of summer is over for now. Silly Glasgow weather! Love the sunglasses, such a classic style that works so well.

This dress doesn't age, neither do you.

Love this on you!
I recently tried an outfit a smidge like you. It did not work. Ah well.

Pah inded.
Like I said last week, I LOVE your new fringe.
It honestly makes you look so young.
Also how amazing does your precious Balenciaga look in these shots....

My Balenciaga bags were hands down my best ever purchases. They actually look better the older they get.

LOVE the outfit & you look gorgeous! It would be perfect for our Canadian summer so far too...
Now I just have to see if I could be as brave as you and cut my fringe ("bangs" here!) shorter, as everyone keeps suggesting to me - it certainly works for you & you look lovely, so I may just take a deep breath and give it a try!

Fringes grow soooooo quickly, so even if you didn't like it, it'd grow out in a couple of weeks. And deep breath........

PS. Love the Brothels. Just picked up a pair of white ones, from Underground, on a quick visit to London, can't get them here in south west France.
