Pretty pink

I just had to share this...I know, I know another similiar photo of my favourite view of Edinburgh...but last Saturday there was the pinkest sunset over the castle. Sadly I could only take a photo with my blackberry so I couldn't fully capture it's beauty...but isn't it just so pretty?

Anyway, I've finally found a job and I really enjoy it, so yay to no more student poverty! Yet it's why the time between my posts is really widening.

I keep promising myself to update more...


Thank you all again for all the lovely comments :)

Monki Wish List

As the weather is getting colder and colder every day in Edinburgh and a mere 5 minutes of being outside my nose resembles Rudolph...I start day dreaming about winter clothes I can layer up and snuggle up in.

So look at these Monki winter beauties, if it warms up the Scandinavians it'll be good enough for us in Scotland right?

Annina sweater - 30 euros

Jossi sweater - 35 euros

Agatha dress - 40 euros

Velma loose knit jumper - 30 euros

Elena cape - 80 euros

Totty gloves - 6 euros

Cameron chunky knit snood - 18 euros

Sally furry hat - 18 euros

    
Too much navy, black and grey again. Slap my wrists or something, but I just cannot resist these shades.
Now with all this just wear 2 pairs of 60 denier tights, 2 long sleeved tops, 2 pairs of socks and finally a solid pair of boots (with grips to avoid making a fool of yourself in on the snow/ice!) and you'll be all set for the winter! Haha!
Hope you like, what are you favourites?

Outfit of Yesterday

Pink tweed jacket - Oasis
Jeans - Primark
Sheer long black shirt - H&M
Loafers - ASOS

This was the first time I wore my new Oasis jacket I got as a gift, and I just love it! The pretty pink and gold tweed made me feel all girly on top of my gothic outfit. The fluorescent line accents on the sleeve zips and pockets really add a modern edge to a classic tweed jacket. It's just so sleek, sadly my rubbish camera failed to give it much justice.

Anyway! University assignments and essays are done and I'm planning to use my time now on developing my blog (as well as revising for winter exams ad trying to find a job!)
So I have quite a few ideas, so please keep reading my blog. Also thank you for all the lovely comments and new followers, your support makes my little blog and I very happy!

Born this way?

So my ambitions of being a regular blogger failed once again! I was doing fairly well on the blogging front, Music Monday's and all that, until these past two weeks of incredible 'busy-ness'. Firstly the wedding (it was amazing by the way and my dress, the red Miss Guided one, got me lots of compliments), then being back at home, rushing back to Edinburgh, dealing essay dramas and finally HALLOWEEN...

Halloween is one of my favourite holidays. Even when I was very young crying on the floor demanding my mother would allow me to go trick or treating on my own since none of my sisters were interested...
Throughout the years I've been all the typical things: a devil, a witch, a vampire (too many times!), just donning a scary face mask or the lazy cheap idea of being a 'dead Eda'. This year I had to plan my outfit very last minute (being a couple of hours before heading out). As I racked my brains for something that was different, cheap, easy but still quite stylish looking, I remembered the Lady Gaga video 'Born This Way' with Rick Genest (the guy who permanently has his face tattooed as a skeleton).

I trawled through endless Youtube make up tutorials on how to do it, either they required too many make up tools or didn't look the way I wanted it to...I finally came across iwanted2c1video and her tutorial was just amazing, all I needed was an eyeliner!
Ok so I'm not the most talented make up artist, my face was no way near as good as in Lady Gaga's video, but I think I still looked scary (which is the whole point of Halloween, right?!) and people did like it and realise what I was aiming for.
So what do you think?

Alicia was a 'woman killed and drowned by her husband'. Pretty dark stuff haha!

I'm wearing:

H&M Leather Panelled Trousers
H&M white shirt
H&M Blazer
H&M brogues

Oh dear! I didn't realise until just now writing it all done that I was head to toe H&M! Haha!

However my 'bowtie', well just a ribbon...was actually the straps of my old Topshop canvas shopper bag, tied together and put around my neck as a bow.

Hope you all had a good Halloween!

Music Monday's - Bedouin Soundclash

Not the newest song nor my newest obsession but it's the perfect soundtrack to this Monday.



Having just about recovered from some strange fever all weekend, I was actually excited to go to the library today and work on my English Language essay. However it has been heavy sideways raining all day and still is! So the 'trek' to the library whilst still slightly ill seems too daunting for weak little me. I am in no position to continue being ill, what with the wedding this weekend, so walking in the ice cold rain is not the best idea for full recovery...right?
So instead I'm having a fairly laidback day: listening to Bedouin Soundclash on repeat, organising my uni folders...all whilst sipping at endless cups of Earl Grey and gazing at my window wishing for the rain to stop so I can reunite with my lover that is the university library...hahaa!

I hope you love this song as much as I do.
I didn't really know much about this band until Alicia recommended I should have a listen to them to see if I'd want to see them at Leeds festival. I'm very glad she did and they ere just great live. Definitely one of my 'new' favourite bands.

Enjoy :)

Moves Like Jagger

I could not think of a decent title so I have just wrote the song I'm humming along to now.
Yes, I realise as a style blogger it's not cool to be so into such a mainstream song...I'm meant to be all prententious and be like 'I'm sorry Maroon who? Who's Christina blah blah? I only listen to The Velvet Underground darlinggg'...Well whatever, what's the point of avoiding songs you secretly love just because they are not 'alternative' enough? Right?? Right?


ANYWAY...


My facial expressions are so odd and scary.
Also I am very upset with how rubbish my new camera's quality is when it's on self-timer...so apologies for the grainy/blurry photo.
Nevermind I guess, it's about time I blogged my outfits more...so here is my outfit of the day. Just had university today so nothing too dressy...lots of recently brought items though:


H&M Leather Panel Trousers
Salvation Army knitted jumper (£3!) 
ASOS black loafers (£15 in sale)
Urban Outfitters satchel

I'm going to have to finally give into my fear of someone else taking a photo of my outfits OUTSIDE, because the self timer and lighting in this flat are not so great....

Ohhhh and I have two favours to ask...
First - could you be so kind and check out the clothes/accessories I'm selling on eBay? Eda's eBay

Secondly - only recently I have discovered how amazing the Fashiolista website is, it's like creating my own little fantasy wardrobe and gaze at other people's loves...which is just perfect for little online window shopper me. So if you like to see my actual style (which means the style I'd have more of if I had more than just a student budget) please 'check me out'...HERE

Thank you all :) especially for the lovely comments.

Music Monday's

So Monday has arrived again.
Drake really needs no introduction...


I. hate. Mondays.
Listening to this on repeat is the only thing that's keeping me focused on my Linguistics note making...oh and my 'i-focus' Vitamin water...but who knows whether a drink can help you focus. It's just a pretty pink colour and it just tastes good.

Enjoy :)
