wednesday sunrise

Im going to take a different spin on this post by not only talking about fashion and material things I think are beautiful, but those things natural that I view as beautiful as well. It was a beautiful day in Aberdeen today, the sun was shining and the weather was quite comfortable sitting over the plus 10 mark! (sorry to all my Canadian readers back home who are probably experiencing weather quite a bit cooler than this). 

Before even stepping foot outside today, I knew it was going to be a good day because I was woken by the beautiful sunrise over the northern sea, which I can view right from my bedroom window. This is by far one of my favourite sites i've experienced in Scotland thus far, 1 reason being I don't even have to leave my bed, and secondly I have a true love affair with anything having to do with the sun, and thirdly, despite all the rumours about Scotland having the most horrible rainy cold weather, they also happen to have some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets (meaning that the sun does come out often!). Some mornings I feel as if I could sit there from start to finish and just watch the sun fully rise. I am a lover of sunlight and colour, I think its a great symbol of positivity and happiness,  which are two things I like to feel during my day! 

I was able to catch the final bits of the sunrise this morning during my shoot of outfit pics which was super exciting. My outfit today represented my love for colour (especially purple) and the ability to feel free by expressing your fashion interests with your own style/inspiration/feelings! Happy Wednesday all, whether the weather was cloudy where you are, I hope your day was full of other forms of sunshine!

paris tourist chic

Last week I took a trip to the so called city of romance and fashion, Paris France. It was a trip full of fun and lots of touring. I was traveling with some friends who I'm studying with in Scotland which made the trip that much more enjoyable! It was difficult, to say the least, to try to be fashionable with your outfits while only being able to pack a few things in a suit case, and to also make sure you're some what comfortable (the whole "beauty is pain" really doesn't work when you're endlessly walking around for hours and hours day to day). Here's an outfit from my favourite day of the trip. I purchased some new faux fur for the occasion while shopping on Champs-Élysées so I could feel a little more chic while visiting the Eiffel Tower.

a business casual cheetah

Todays midweek look took on the business casual approach with my added flare of some fun cheetah print. These might be one of my favourite pair of pants from my wardrobe because of my serious love for funky printed pants, and of course my love for cheetah. This look could also be easily dressed up with a pair of simple black heels, and a bright shade of lipstick. Happy Wednesday!

Trendy Tuesday

boyfriend jeans and classic floral

In the past urbanrural kept you informed of the current trends with our Trendy Tuesday blog posts. Todays post takes a look at some current trends that I am following within the fashion world. Boyfriend jeans. This style of jean can be seen everywhere lately, especially with the added worn out look with rips and fading, make this trend super popular. Boyfriend jeans can be such a staple item in your wardrobe because the are so versatile with how they are easily styled in so many ways. Check out my take on a girlish tomboy look by adding different shades of the lovely colour pink to my outfit.

silver, solids, and studs

 I guess it would be appropriate to start off this post by wishing you all a happy Halloween! Its a bit chilly today in Aberdeen, but nothing was going to stop me from wearing this new skirt. I look forward to trying more ways of styling it with other shirts, shoes and accessories. Check out my take on classy school girl.
