Spread of the Timberland Pandemic

How are we all on this fine and slightly depressing boxing day? I hope you all had fabulous Christmases, and you got everything that your little materialistic hearts desired!


Has anyone else noticed an increase in Timberland's lately? It seems like everywhere I look (I look at a lot of shoes) they're there...mocking me...haunting me...
They're spreading faster than you can say "Let me share this blog with my people"and I don't like it. (Try it,spread this blog with your people xo)

I just don't get the appeal, they're bulky, 'wheat' coloured- don't be fooled, the colour looks like baby food, boat shoes that, suddenly are acceptable for people that aren't lumberjacks to wear.( But are useful for taking long lonely walks in the country side with sheep and mud and fresh air *shudders*.)


Take the test to see if you should wear Timberlands:

1)  Do you harvest trees?
 YES-1 point
 NO-0 points
2)Do you wear checked shirts?
YES-1 point
NO-0 points
3) Do you have a straggly beard?
YES-1 point
NO-0 points
4)How straggly?
 VERY-2 points
PRETTY DARN STRAGGLY-1 point
I'M AS CLEAN SHAVEN AS A BABY-0 points
4)Is your name Moonshine Jimmy, Prune-juice Doyle or Squeaky Joe?
YES-1 point
NO-0 points

How did you score?
6 points- yes you can wear Timberlands.
0 points-no Timberlands for you,Gretchen Weiners,sorry.





But hey, that's just my opinion- where do you stand in the whole "I want to wear Timberlands but I'm not a Lumberjack" fiasco? Love to hear any feedback!
If you like Timberlands then you wear 'em hunnnnnayyy *majestically clicks fingers in z formation, flicks hair to the side and pouts* mmmmmmmmmmhmmmmmmmmmmm.




Here's a picture of a Lumberjack mollusc in Timberlands doing his thang. (edited by my brother- fabulousness runs in the family.)





Stay swagulous xo

All things tartan

Tartan is possibly the best thing to come out of Scotland (excluding me, tunnocks tea cakes, irn bru and ME obviously) and it makes me so happy that it is finally fashionable!

Even though it is absolutely everywhere at the moment its so chic and versatile. BUT and this is a big but (lol) don't be fooled into thinking that tartan is a red kilt with dark stripes and checks and crap that hairy ginger dudes wear with nothing underneath, no no my friend, tartan is so much more. Wait until you enter the magical world of tartan (not anyhow related to or with Scotland) and experience its mysterious ways...............*at this point I imagined bagpipes playing Aladdin's A Whole New World, don't know why.*





And  I will show you some of my fav tartan pieces to prove that I am a fan-girl of it. Please forgive the crappy camera quality. Feel free to send me money to buy a new camera xxxx
