Highland Fling

Here are some photos of a little outfit I put together that I thought reflected the theme of a British Garden nicely. The 'Highland fling' refers to the tartan trend at the moment which I love. The 'skorts' (shorts that look like a skirt) had the perfect colouring of tartan, which is how I imagine it should be for the wintery/christmas feel. I've seen a lot of other versions that had too much red and not enough of the foresty green colour.

m&m World British style

I had a little detour to m&m world in London after I had been to a conference nearby for a short business trip. This was last year and as I was looking through some other photos I stumbled cross these (which is why I am posting this now) They aren't the best photos as I took them on my compact camera but I think the bright and colourful look of the store still comes through. 

There was a mini gallery with the m&m's characters dressed as famous British personalities like Robin Hood. 

I had to do a close-up of my favourite ones obviously. 

The shop had sooo many cool and quirky souvenirs but some things were a bit too pricey for me so I bought these little earrings and some bags of m&ms from the massive selection of colours they had to pick and mix yourself. I think I got a bit carried away though as the m&ms come out the shoots pretty quickly and ended up spending more money anyway :P Oh well it was worth it!
