Okay Scotland, I’m ready for the summer months. Hit me with your best shot!
Surfing
Road trips (the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond)
Beach adventures
Theme park trips
Summer holidays
Picnics & sunbathing in Queens Park
Garden parties & BBQ’s
Fruit picking at Yonderton Farm
That’s just a handful of the reasons I’m looking forward to the warmer months. Not to mention the longer and lighter days – feel like they always make such a positive difference to your day to day routine.
I love the sun for making my hair go lighter, my freckles come out, and getting some colour around my tattoos which are normally hidden (calves and chest!) I also like the fact that a long forgotten section of my wardrobe gets to show it’s pretty face again. I did some lovely imaginary online shopping and put together these two wishlists…
1. Roxy Sunglasses – £58
2. Tom Ford Sunglasses – £248.40
3. Marc Jacobs Sunglasses – £112.50
4. Alexander McQueen Sunglasses – £153
Some absolute belters from Sunglasses Shop. This summer I’m thinking big, plastic and retro a la Romy & Michelle’s High School Reunion. Well, maybe apart from the last pair. I am a sucker for an aviator-esque frame.
1. Diane Von Furstenberg,Tara Dress – £345
2. Sensi Studio, Adrian Panama Hat – £128
3. Alexander McQueen, Dragonfly-print Mantaray Clutch – £315
4. Castaner, Diana Espadrilles – £85
5. Ondademar, Ania Anchor Print Bikini – £150
I perhaps went a bit bit out of my price range when it came to the above, but that’s what a wishlist is all about – right? Matches Fashion have a gorgeous holiday shop up and running already which is conveniently split into Jet-set Go, Beach Kit, Day Tripper, Evening Star and Ski Style.
Hopefully I’m not too premature in my anticipation for summer and have got you looking forward to some good ol’ sunshine too. I shall leave you with the song that my title is from (if anything, it might get you inspired to have a wee rave in your kitchen at 3pm on a sunday afternoon)

I can't wait for summer now, this year will be massive. I leave school for good in April (well, June if you include exams) and go on my first girls holiday in July before I finally turn 18 then move up to Aberdeen to start university, it's going to be scary but I can't wait! Hopefully we'll get some of that rare Scottish sunshine too. xxx
