Instagreat

The past few weeks have flown by. Edinburgh has started to get pretty Christmassy, which annoys me because I feel like it's still too early to get my Christmas on. My friend says that I'm a grinch. I'm not. I love Christmas but I get really frustrated with the hype starting earlier and earlier every year! I will not even consider my Christmas shopping until December arrives. 

My beautiful & very talented friend Sara sent me one of her Waiste beanies last week and I have literally lived in it. IT'S AMAZING! I urge you all to take a look at the Waiste Autumn/Winter collection, it's too good.

 

I am still completely in love with Instagram. If you quite fancy being spammed to death with my life, feel free to follow: @laurenjay9. Here are some snaps from the last couple of weeks.

Autumn activities

 It's been a good couple of weeks; I had a lovely birthday and got to see all my besties last weekend. I do feel like I'm getting on a bit, though I'm still getting getting ID'd regularly (this used to be a pain but I'm secretly enjoying it now). Also discovered some deep love for Justin Bieber which, for some strange reason, I feel the need to tell everyone. Just going all Caroline Flack on you. So with my exceptionally busy couple of weeks and most of my spare time being consumed with Bieber-related activities, I've not really had chance to do any outfit posts- which upsets me a little. For now, here's some snaps of my recent adventures...

Long time no see!

I've had a pretty mental few weeks. I won't bore you with detail but, to be honest, I just could not be bothered with blogging, especially when I knew that my posts would just be endless paragraphs of emotional nonsense, ha! I spoke to a lovely girl on Twitter the other day who has the same 'worry-about-everything' mentality as me & we made an agreement to be more positive since it's a new month. So I'm back and I'm being positive!!

I still haven't found somewhere I'm 100% happy with to do outfit posts. I loved doing them outside through the Summer so I've sort of been putting off doing them inside. I'm fully aware that I'm breaking one of the biggest blogging rules by taking pictures in a 'busy' (read cluttered) room - so apologies for that but I literally don't have a bare wall ANYWHERE!

Hello Edinburgh

I moved in to my new flat at the weekend so I've been super busy unpacking and settling in. It's proving quite difficult to find a little area to take outfit pics and my trusty photographer is over 100 miles away - waaa- so it might be a while until I can get that sorted. I don't suppose anyone wants to buy me a tripod..? I've taken a few snaps around the flat for this post, so you can have a nosey at where I'm living :p

 

I've had major problems with my website over the last two weeks, it has completely slowed down and a few of you got in touch to say you couldn't access the store. I know it's so frustrating visiting a site which doesn't work properly and it's definitely not something I want Raspberrygrape to be known for. I apologise for the inconvenience and I've literally sat at my laptop all day working on a brand new site for you all! If everything goes to plan it will be launched tomorrow evening and I'm trying to spread the word on Twitter, so if you could help me out I'd be extremely grateful.
