#newblogpost Thrive... I think this might be my word of 2019... I heard the song Thrive by Casting Crowns yesterday and it stopped me in my tracks.. I’ve heard it before, but the line “We know we were made for so much more than ordinary lives. It’s time for us to more than just survive. We were made to thrive.” It got me thinking... am I just surviving or am I thriving? 📸: @wordsmeetwalls Head over to the blog to find out more: https://gilltheglasgowgirl.com/2019/02/20/thrive/ #gilltheglasgowgirl #thrive #lifestyleblogger #glasgowblogger #scottishblogger #castingcrowns #weweremadetothrive #rachelhollis #girlstopapologizing #aneditedlife #annanewton #becoming #michelleobama #friendship #familytime #fortheloveofmusic #mayaangelouquote #wordsmeetwalls

Glad to have a Friday off... Love my hometown and the city streets... you’ll never know what you’ll find... a walk through town today with my dad and Lorraine and saw this beauty for the first time! #gilltheglasgowgirl #familytime #glasgowwanderings #streetart #glasgowblogger #scottishblogger #hometownglory #lovethiscity #glasgowlife #instaglasgow

It’s a while since I’ve painted my nails but I’ve got a wedding at the weekend and not much time this week so I painted them last night with @rimmellondonuk Super Gel Polish which is supposed to last 14 days. Here’s hoping it does. I don’t usually go for red nail polish except at Christmas but I quite like this one... it will go with the dress!

#happymonday I love getting exciting mail. Thanks @cmcgraw for sending this over. I can’t wait to get stuck into @msrachelhollis new book Girl Stop Apologizing... I have a feeling I may have to wait until I have a day off on Friday/Monday to get some quality time with a cuppa to properly enjoy it. The sweets may not last that long though 😆 As per the new ASA Guidelines... this book was sent to me as a gift (ARC - advanced reader copy) as part of the #gsalaunchteam Release date 12th March 2019. Pre-order your copy now from all good book retailers. #gilltheglasgowgirl #glasgowblogger #scottishblogger #girlstopapologizing #GSA #GWYF #advancedreadercopy #ad #gift #chictribe #chictribeuk #glasgowbloggers #lifestyleblogger #instaglasgow #rachelhollis #hollisco #booklaunch #harpercollins

#fridaytreats I needed a new eyeshadow palette for a wedding next weekend and hadn’t decided on a lip colour so this @nyxcosmetics_uk pack from @bootsuk has made my decision for me (and it was a bargain)... Can’t wait to try the Ultimate Shadow Palette in Warm Neutrals. Perfect for everyday and also for creating a golden/bronze eye look. The Duo Chromatic illuminating powder blusher in Crushed Bloom will add a much needed glow and the Candy Slick lip gloss in Single Serving is a gorgeous dark red... I tried it in store and it’s lovely, a more muted tone to some of the other reds I have. Boots have a special offer at the moment - buy one item and get one half price. The Duo Chromatic was £1... so that’s 3 full size products for £20. If you have your eye on some NYX goodies, pick them up in store or online. #gilltheglasgowgirl #beautybloggersuk #glasgowblogger #scottishblogger #glasgowbloghernetwork #nyxcosmetics #nyxultimateshadowpalette #nyxwarmneutralspalette #nyxduochromatic #nyxcandyslick #bootsuk #beautybargains #chictribeuk

#newblogpost Wardrobe Essentials - Blazers I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect black for months and finally found “the one” in @marksandspencerfashionpr and its a beauty... can’t wait to wear it at a wedding later this month (although if today’s weather is anything to go by, I may still need to buy a coat... look out for an updated post on coats coming soon)... back to blazers... there’s something for everyone, black, navy, grey, check, coloured... all from the high street... not for fast fashion but for affordable pieces that will work hard in your wardrobe. Head over the blog and have a look. https://gilltheglasgowgirl.com/2019/02/01/wardrobe-essentials-blazers/ #gilltheglasgowgirl #wardrobeessentialsblazers #wardrobeessentials #midsizestyle #over30fashion #fashionover30 #mycurvescollective #myfashiondiaries #glasgowblogger #scottishbloggers #glasgowbloggernetwork #fashionblogger #fbloggerstyle #chictribeuk #highstreetfashion

#frostbitefridays Well... I’m not loving this weather today... I’m definitely not created for this temperature... sorry to all my American and Canadian friends who have it much colder at the moment. This is horrendous. I’m sure it’s been colder here but I don’t remember it being much colder or maybe I’ve blocked it from memory 🥶🤦‍♀️ #gilltheglasgowgirl #gillwiththescarf #allthelayersneeded #freezyfreezy #glasgowblogger #scottishbloggers #glasgowweather #freezingfebruary #glasgowbloggernetwork #chictribe #chictribeuk #lifestyleblogger #30plusblogs

#newblogpost Self Care - I meant to post this yesterday but had a pretty busy day and time escaped me. So here it is. Self Care... everyone’s talking about it... it will look different for everyone, but as @briannawiest says it’s about creating a life you don’t want to escape from. Head over to the blog to find out more: https://gilltheglasgowgirl.com/2019/01/29/self-care/ #gilltheglasgowgirl #glasgowblogger #scottishbloggers #glasgowbloggernetwork #glasgowblogs #scottisgblogs #30plusblogs #lifestyleblogger #selfcare #createalifeyoudontwanttoescapefrom #briannawiest #chictribeuk

#tuesdaytreat After what feels like the longest January in history and a long day at work followed by a meeting, a coffee was required... I’ll probs regret this when I can’t sleep 😴 but I’ve not been to the @thegladcafe for ages and I love a Flat White... yes I know having gallstones means I’m not really supposed to have dairy but needs must sometimes, I’m sure my gallstones will hurt later, but it tasted good at the time so maybe the pain is worth it 😆 #gilltheglasgowgirl #glasgowblogger #scottishblogger #glasgowbloggernetwork #gladcafe #flatwhite #coffeelove #instacoffeelovers #glasgowcoffee #30plusblogs #chictribeuk

I’ve seen it all now 😂 I could have my very own Robo-pet in my flat... not sure how I feel about a robot that poops though! My letting agent definitely wouldn’t approve 😆 A good idea to try to overcome loneliness or a ridiculous idea? what do you think? #gilltheglasgowgirl #glasgowblogger #scottishblogger #glasgowbloggernetwork #cosmopolitanmagazine #robopet #bizarregadgets #moderndayliving #chictribeuk

#saturdaystyle keeping it cozy for a an afternoon of shopping in town... jeans and a black top with a chunky knit cardi for @cantstopshopping67 #chunkyknitsaturdays and of course a scarf. I’ve been on the hunt for a blazer since October and not found one the right style, length or thickness (there’s so many really thin/flimsy ones around, even in winter), but @doesmybumlook40 shared this beauty from @marksandspencerfashionpr on her stories and in a blogpost recently so thought I would give it a try... it’s a winner and came home with me! I need a longer line blazer to balance out my short body/long (34”) legs situation (I’m only 5ft 6 1/2” yes that 1/2” makes all the difference 😆)... Single breasted blazers tend to be more flattering on my shape and shorter more boxy styles tend not to suit my shape quite as well. I did really like the mustard top for a pop of colour, but decided I had spent enough money today on shoes and a handbag for a wedding next month as well as the blazer so the top can wait a couple of weeks. #ootd details Left photo Cardigan - @billabong bought from @annscottagesurf (AW18) Black Top - @topshop_uk (old) Jeans - @hm shaping jeans (current) Right photo Black blazer - @marksandspencer (current) Mustard Top - @marksandspencer (current) Ankle Boots - @officeshoes (old) #gilltheglasgowgirl #gillwiththescarf #chenillecardigan #billabongwomens #annscottagesurf #marksandspencer #marksandspencerfashionpr #wardrobestaples #midsizestyle #midsizefashion #fashionover30 #saturdayshopping #glasgowblogger #scottishblogger #chictribeuk #over30fashion

#newblogpost Skincare Saviours - back in September, I met with one of the skincare specialists @spacenk and got a facial in store, it was great. Head over to the blog to find out about some of the hero products I tried as well as a link to the lovely @carolinehirons blog post about the differences between dry and dehydrated skin... I don’t think I had appreciated fully the difference until recently. https://gilltheglasgowgirl.com/2019/01/25/skincare-saviours/ #gilltheglasgowgirl #skincaresaviours #spacenk #princessquare #glasgowlife #glasgowblogger #scottishblogger #beautybloggers #lifestyleblogger #30plusblogs #chictribeuk #glasglowgirlsclub #caudalie #darphinhydraskinlight #clarksbotanicals #algenist

Definitely a tad windswept and interesting this Monday night since it’s horrid and rainy ☔️ but never mind, it’s time for @style_me_h #stylemeonamonday I picked up this skirt in the Asos sale not convinced that it would fit or I would like it, but I love it... I adore the colour and think I might get it in black as skirts are something I lack in my wardrobe and so far this has been a good buy. Although it’s cord and I do have cord pinafore dresses, it’s a bit more versatile than the dresses. I can dress this up or down and will be able to wear it with trainers or sandals in spring/summer... I had also bought a black denim one but it didn’t fit well so it went back, so I may try the right size in the denim or go for the black cord... or maybe 34 is too old for a denim skirt altogether... what do you think? #ootd details Top - @newlook (Old) Coatigan - @oasisfashion Skirt - @asos (current sale) Scarf - @hm (old - about 5 years old) Boots - @dune_london (AW18) #gilltheglasgowgirl #glasgowblogger #glasgowbloggernetwork #scottishblogger #gillwiththescarf #asos #oasisfashion #newlook #dunelondon #slowfashionstyle #wardrobestaples #midsizestyle #mylookbook #fblogger #instafashion #instastyleglasgow #glasgowstyle #mycurvesmystyle #myfashiondiary #fashionover30 #30plusblogs

#newblogpost Winter Wedding Style Under £100 Wedding season doesn’t usually start until Spring/Summer but I have the joy of being a guest at a wedding in February... Head over to the blog for some of my top outfit and accessories picks from the high street for under £100. @marksandspencerfashionpr @topshop_uk @hushhomewear @johnlewisandpartners @warehouseuk @monsoon @jaegerofficial @phaseeight @mintvelvet @nextofficial Stella & Dot Jewellery by @stylistgillc https://gilltheglasgowgirl.com/2019/01/18/winter-wedding/ #gilltheglasgowgirl #glasgowblogger #scottishblogger #fblogger #fbloggerstyle #winterweddingstyle #30plusblogs #fashionover30 #outfitinspo #midsizestyle #chictribeuk #topshop #hushhomewear #kin #johnlewisandpartners #phaseeight #next #mintvelvet #ninewest #newlook #marksandspencer #warehouse #stelladotstyle #monsoonuk #jaeger #midsizestyle #discoverunder1k #discoverunder5k #weddingguestdress #linkinbio
