About Gill

Gill – The Glasgow Girl – is a thirty-something Glasgow based blogger, born and raised in and around this fair city, ventured north to Aberdeen for university and stayed for work for an extra couple of years but has since returned to the good old hometown and have been back for 10 years now. I can be found living and working in Glasgow and further afield (from time to time) as a Stella & Dot Stylist (have jewels, will travel).

I love to hear from you and connect with new people, so if you would like to contact me, please feel free to drop me an email at:

#saturdaystyle New winter hair has been done this week, the photo makes it look darker than it is, but it kinda matches the jumper 😆 talking of jumpers, I’ve been on the hunt for non wool, non itchy, slightly long jumpers for ages and picked this one up in @marksandspencerfashionpr yesterday with 20% off with my sparks card. There’s lots of great special offers at the moment so it’s worth having one either on the app or an actual card. Anyway, back to the jumper... they didn’t have my actual size which I have a feeling would have sat on the waistband of my jeans and been too boxy for me and I wanted this to be oversized so it sits longer and I could get a long sleeved top or khaki shirt under it so I’ve sized up. I’ll pair it with dark blue or black jeans, tan boots and probably a green or burgundy scarf to brighten things up. If it’s really cold, my @topshop chunky knit mustard cardigan will be worn over the top. #gilltheglasgowgirl #ootd #marksandspencerfashionpr #cahmilonanimalprintjumper #animalprintastic #leopardprint #allaboutanimalprint #cozyjumperseason

#newblogpost Christmas Gift Guide - Stocking Fillers/Secret Santa This week I found my first ever Christmas stocking, I love it... it’s a bit bobbled and has a hole in it but it reminds me of my mum and Christmas times gone by. It’s not the one I use not, but it’s one of the few decorations in my flat... Anyways, even at 34, I love having a stocking on Christmas morning. Whether it’s filled with a tangerine, funny or lovely things. I love it. Head over to the blog to see my top picks for stocking fillers and Secret Santa gifts. https://gilltheglasgowgirl.com/2018/12/15/christmas-gift-guide-stocking-fillers-secret-santa/ #gilltheglasgowgirl #glasgowblogger #scotiishblogger #glagsowbloggernetwork #lifestyleblogger #christmasgiftguide #stockingfillers #secretsanta #christmasstocking #glasgowloveschristmas #christmasoscoming #insta_glasgow #theeverygirl #chictribe #chictribeuk #glasglowgirlsclub

It’s not Christmas without seeing House of Fraser all lit up. Even if it does remind me of working there 😆 Good times were had working with @benefitcosmeticsuk in there. Seems like a lifetime ago now. #gilltheglasgowgirl #glasgowblogger #scottishblogger #chictribe #chictribeuk #houseoffraser #alltheprettylights #festivevibes #insta_glasgow #hometownglory

Post work wanderings. So glad it’s the weekend, it’s been the longest week. 2 more days of work next week and I’m finished work until 7th January. I can’t wait!

I know I’ve been quieter on here lately and on the blog, it’s been a busy week with lots going on at work and just generally busy. I don’t have much energy at the moment, gallstones are rubbish, when I’m not in pain/uncomfortable I have hardly any energy so I’m pretty tired all the time... anyways, I still don’t have a full length mirror at home so here’s an outfit of the day photo snapped yesterday when I popped into town after work. #ootd details Cardigan - @topshop (AW18) Pinafore - @fatface (current) Stripe Top - @forever21 (old) Scarf - Stella & Dot (old) Rhett Earrings - Stella & Dot by @stylistgillc I’ll be posting the first of my Christmas gift guides this week. Keep your eye on the blog. There’ll be one a week through November and December. #gilltheglasgowgirl #gillwiththescarf #glasgowblogger #scottishblogger #fblogger #lifestyleblogger #topshop #fatface #forever21 #fashiondiaries #fashionover30 #30plusblogs #chictribeuk

#happysunday Throughout November and December I’ll be posting Christmas gift guides on the blog/social... So, if you’re starting to think about Christmas and would rather make your own cards than buy them, then get in touch with @craftwithemma and she can help, you can shop online with her to buy everything you need to make some amazing cards but she also runs craft workshops. These are a few cards I made with her a couple of months ago... I’ve known Emma for years so it was great to catch up and it was fun to do something creative, I used to make cards a lot when I was younger but don’t often get the time now so this was a lovely way to spend an evening. I’d definitely recommend a craft workshop if you can get along to one, but check out her instagram for tutorials and upcoming events Emma will be at. #gilltheglasgowgirl #handmadecards #craftwithemma #stampinup #getcreative #craftideas #chictribeuk #glasgowblogger #scottishblogger #lifestyleblogger

#newblogpost Life With Style - If you’ve been around here for a wee while, you’ll know I’ve been doing a wardrobe edit since losing weight. I think over the last few years I lost some of my style or got stuck wearing the same things... that’s not always a bad thing, but sometimes it’s good to have a style refresh. Last weekend I had the joy of a personal shopping experience with style consultant @leighmaybury from Life With Style. It was a great day, we talked about more than fashion and trends but about style and pieces that will work hard in my wardrobe for years. Head over to the blog to find out more and please do get in contact with Leigh to find out more about her style services! https://gilltheglasgowgirl.com/2018/11/02/life-with-style/ #gilltheglasgowgirl #lifewithstyle #personalshopping #styleconsultant #fblogger #lifestyleblogger #slowfashion #stylethatworksforyou #styleisforever #glasgowblogger #scottishblogger #chictribeuk #glasglowgirlsclub
