A good bleaching and harsh chop were long overdue. Apologies for the continuous re-hashing of Instagram photos lately. I know it's a lazy cop out, but it's just so quick and easy!<br />
<br />
So what has been going on at my end?...<br />
<br />
Last Friday I finished up my job working as Learning and Access Officer at <a href="http://www.thetallship.com/">The Tall Ship</a>. I'd been there for 7 years and made some amazing friends during that time. As you can imagine, the tears flowed almost as much as the booze did. I got spoiled rotten with some wonderful gifts including a heart stopping collage of everyone I've ever worked with, a beautiful bumblebee brooch and a very generous voucher for <a href="http://www.endofeverything.co.uk/irezumi/">Irezumi Tattoo</a>. So, that's me booked in to get a wee memento of the ship and one or two wee pieces to mark the start of my floristry career, on 11th September.<br />

No rest for the wicked.... I started my new job working at <a href="http://www.littlebotanica.com/">Little Botanica</a> last Monday. Got hooked up with a laptop, keys for the workshop and the most delightful wee notebook and it was time to get stuck in! To find out what I get up to, check out our <a href="http://littlebotanica.blogspot.co.uk/">blog</a>. I'm now a contributor over there so expect to see lots of lovely floral delights in the future. Go on - give us a follow!<br />
<br />
Right, cheerio for now! x<br />

Mr G and I headed into town on Sunday afternoon to catch the end of Glasgow's Merchant City Festival. There was loads going on, including some great interactive public art, but what did we get up to? We decided to join all the families for a spot of roller-skating! I've gotta admit, it's been over 20 years since I've skated, but it does come back to you... a bit...<br />

After all that over exertion we treated ourselves to some delicious Dutch pancakes drowned in Baileys and topped with skooshy cream.<br />

We stayed at the <a href="http://www.clarionhotel.com/hotel-lisbon-portugal-PT023">Clarion Suites</a> in the heart of the city. Fantastic crash pads and perfect for our 5 night break. We had a separate living space, huge double bedroom and a wee kitchenette - perfect for late night snacks and early afternoon sangria. The complex also has a cracking wee pool outside, which is an added bonus in the city centre. <br />

This was my festival Day 1 outfit: top from Topshop sale. <a href="http://www.missguided.co.uk/">Missguided</a> sheer skirt (that arrived aready coming apart at the seams - grrrr! I didn't have time to send it back so I just stitched it instead, but I'd heard bad things about this company after my purchase and I certainly WON'T be buying anything else from them), <a href="http://www.alphabetbags.com/">Alphabet Bags</a> bag, Urban Outfitters sandals.<br />

As I sit at work researching ships' cats, I was reminded that today is wee Lydia's one year anniversary, so I thought it was only fitting to do a little tribute post to the fluffiest, cutest, wonkiest wee moggie that touched the hearts of everyone she ever drooled on.

<br />
<b>Loving:</b><br />
Instagram. I was a bit late to the plate with this one, but it's currently my new black. I didn't actually realise how addicted I was until <a href="http://www.policymic.com/articles/10544/instagram-crash-how-cool-start-ups-are-at-the-mercy-of-tech-giants-like-facebook-and-amazon">'the big crash'</a> on Saturday. It pretty much ruined my whole day. Anyone else feel the gaping hole it left in their lives?? Anyhoo, that's basically where I've been for the past couple of months. Instagramming instead of Blogging. So, if you don't already, follow me @baroque_boudoir x<br />
<br />
Also loving giant earrings. Preferably with feathers... and hoops... Can't believe <a href="http://baroqueboudoir.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/jumping-ship.html">I waited until I was 30 to get my ears pierced!</a> Still haven't treated myself to a lovely pair of Pamela Love earrings, but good things come to those who wait, don't they?<br />

<b>Listening to:</b><br />
I was channel hopping a few weeks ago and stumbled across a 'rockumentary' about Nirvana. Loads of memories came flooding back as I sat mouthing along to all the lyrics. This has started a massive early 90s revival. I immediately downloaded Bleach, Nevermind and In Utero and they've been on rotation on my phone for weeks. I also snapped up a check shirt in a charity shop a few weeks back too... Hello 13 year old self! It's all downhill and grungy from here on in. <br />

<b>Reading:</b><br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Chaperone-Laura-Moriarty/dp/0718158970/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1341229275&sr=8-3">The Chaperone</a> by Laura Moriarty. The narrator is tasked with chaperoning a young <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louise_Brooks">Louise Brooks</a> from Wichita, Kansas to New York in 1922. I've yet to work out how much of the story is true to life, but it features loads of my favourite things to read about: road tripping in America, teenage girls and the 1920s. An easy, breezy bedtime book.<br />
<br />
Next up is <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Divergent-Veronica-Roth/dp/0007420412/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1341229349&sr=1-1">Divergent</a> by Veronica Roth. This is the first part in a trilogy. And it pretty much sounds like a poor man's rip-off of The Hunger Games:<br />
<br />
<i>"In a dystopian Chicago, 16-year-old Beatrice "Tris" Prior has always
felt different from the rest of her family. She was raised in the
Abnegation faction, where she was trained to be selfless. There are five
different factions in the city: Candor (the honest), Erudite (the
intelligent), Amity (the peaceful), Dauntless (the brave), and
Abnegation (the selfless). Despite her upbringing, being selfless has
never come naturally to Beatrice. She is conflicted by her feelings of
loneliness." Wikipedia.</i><br />
<br />
Total trash! Awesome! Saving this one for my holidays...<br />
<br />
Both books were inspired by <a href="http://sometimessweet.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/summer-reading-list-part-two.html">Danielle's Summer Reading List</a>. In fact, this whole post was prompted by reading Danielle's <a href="http://www.sometimessweet.com/">'Currently' update on Sometimes Sweet</a> :-)<br />
<br />
<b>Watching:</b> <br />
So You Think You Can Dance Season 9. Massive fan of this show, since season 2. They've just chosen this year's Top 20. Favourites so far are Cyrus and Eliana. Doubt Cyrus will make it to the end, but how can you not love him?? Check this out:<br />
<br />

<br />
As it's summer (apparently - somewhere else in the world) all the good TV shows have finished up for the season...booo!!! So, it's time to look back and see what I've missed in the past. I like a good cop drama and Mr G suggested we start from Season 1 of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_shield">The Shield</a>. He's seen it before, but it's first time round for me. Loving it. Gritty yet not too complicated for me to follow - I get lost with plotlines very easily! After watching between 3 and 4 episodes a night for the past fortnight, we're now on to Season 2. Bring it on! Anyone got any other good suggestions? Gotta be American - British shows are generally duff. <br />
<br />
<b>Planning:</b><br />
Our trip to Lisbon for the <a href="http://www.optimusalive.com/en">Optimus Alive</a> festival! We're only going for 5 days (I hate leaving Mildred Pierce on her own for much longer than that) but I still plan to fit lots of things in. Any suggestions? So far, I've heard that the Aquarium (<a href="http://www.oceanario.pt/">Oceanario</a>) and the modern art gallery (<a href="http://mirror.berardocollection.com/">Berardo Collection</a>) are not to be missed. I also spent most of Saturday shopping for last minute items and then sorting everythign out into 'outfits'. This is probably the first time I've ever been so organised. I usually just 'wing-it' and then regret my choices when I reach the hotel. But I was determinded that this year I won't spend hours complaining that I 'don't have anything to wear'. I've decided to stick with my <a href="http://baroqueboudoir.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/summer-plans.html">maxi skirt/grunge theory</a> and so far, it's working out a treat.<br />
<br />
<b>Anticipating: </b><br />
Driving Test Round 2. I failed my first test last month adn immediately put in for it again. I sit it for the second time next week - just before we go to Portugal. Please keep your fingers crossed for me! I can't afford to keep failing!<br />
<br />
Starting my new job!! Yup, you read that right. At the end of July I'll be finishing up my job of 7 years, Learning and Access Officer at <a href="http://www.thetallship.com/index.aspx">The Tall Ship</a>, and switching career altogether.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of May I responded to an advert for a creative individual/florist to work alongside a well established wedding florist in the southside of Glasgow. After an initial interview, I was lucky enough to be selected for a second, more in-depth chat/practical session at the workshop in Cambuslang. I had a great wee chat with Kim, the florist and owner of Little Botanica, but presented her with possibly my worst ever buttonhole. I chose a beautful vintage looking rose and then proceeded to butcher it to pieces, stabbing it with wires and wrestling it into a really ugly display. I left thinking "well, Lisa, you really f**ked that one up!"<br />
<br />
The next evening I was through in Edinburgh enjoying a rather wonderful play, <i><a href="http://www.edfringe.com/whats-on/theatre/idiot-at-the-wall">The Idiot at the Wall</a></i>, in which my friend was starring. During the first act I could feel my phone vibrating in my bag. I tutted and immediately thought, "that'll be my mum. She'll have called the house only to discover we're out and she'll be wondering where we are". During the interval I checked my phone. I had a missed call from Kim. I was literally shaking as I called her back and couldn't quite believe my ears when she so kindly offered me the position!!<br />
<br />
So, as of the end of this month I will be living the dream: training as a florist and working for <a href="http://www.littlebotanica.com/index.html">Little Botanica</a>!<br />

And here's a wee summery afternoon chillout choon for y'all to enjoy. It was one of the first ever 'dance' tunes that I got into.</div>

Hi folks! Time for a catch up? As you can see, I'm sticking with the lilac locks for the summer. Didn't expect to suit the lighter shade, but as it turns out, I can't get enough of it!<br />
<br />
So, what else have I been up to? Well, the flat is FINALLY on the market - yay! No takers just yet, but it's early days. Our summer holiday to Lisbon is fast approaching too, we fly out for the <a href="http://www.optimusalive.com/en">Optimus Alive</a> festival on 12th July. I've been trying to save some cash so I've not gone overboard with the 'holiday clothes' (just yet!). I snapped up this great wee canvas bag from <a href="http://www.alphabetbags.com/">Alphabet Bags</a>, which has been on my <a href="http://pinterest.com/madameg/">Pinterest</a> board for months:<br />
<br />

...And, <a href="http://www.missguided.co.uk/monique-sheer-maxi-skirt">this sheer black maxi skirt from Missguided</a>, using their Jubilee 10% discount offer. It's not arrived yet, but if it fits I'm planning to team it up with some cute wee crop tops/bralets for the festival - which takes place in the evenings when the sun goes down. As a wee 'cover-up' - in case it gets a bit chilly - I found a great flannel shirt in a local charity shop. Pretty sure it's the same one I wore every day from 1993-4! Grunge-tastic. <br />
<br />
No summer plans would be complete without the addition of a new tattoo! Haven't booked an appointment, or decided exactly what I'm after, but here's some inspiration...<br />

<a href="http://rococorose.co.uk/">Rococo Rose</a> was created by Alexia Dwarka in her kitchen in 2010. Bored of creating formulaic hand-tied bouquets of roses studded with eucalyptus leaves, and concerned by the enormous amount of energy and resources used by the
floristry industry to water, refrigerate and ship fresh flowers all
around the world, Alexia wanted to create a floral gift that would re-discover the sentimentality
behind giving a single rose as a present, but in a quirky way.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYfeQlXQ6tPOzZ7f2zfGZrL3jO7BnzoaPo1RXrOAli3XvG88rS2aVnMdV4P2Tlwu2CegAkoAV50DpIwF_PU1yei3_04xzofYaoE8aKzQBY06hkVhp2dOA7rklCT8wqP50FzLjvI5_Lwj2R/s1600/il_fullxfull.300254131.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYfeQlXQ6tPOzZ7f2zfGZrL3jO7BnzoaPo1RXrOAli3XvG88rS2aVnMdV4P2Tlwu2CegAkoAV50DpIwF_PU1yei3_04xzofYaoE8aKzQBY06hkVhp2dOA7rklCT8wqP50FzLjvI5_Lwj2R/s2048/il_fullxfull.300254131.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
The roses are first selected for their full-blown size and then each one preserved using a glycerine feed so that they last for 12 months. Next, Alexia has discovered a magical way of hand-printing the petals with nineteenth-century engravings before finally scenting and boxing the roses ready for gift-giving. Simply beautiful. <br />

Friday night was all about the Hotrods and Hellcats for <a href="http://rocknroll-spinal-lou.blogspot.co.uk/">Miss Lou's</a> 30th birthday party. Here I am sporting a bit of a trashy Amy Winehouse look: headscarf, winged eyeliner and trailer trash hoop earrings. My hair had also faded right down to a silvery-grey.<br />

My Daaaady... As you can see, he's well on the mend. Thank you to everyone who wished him well earlier this year. It was a bit touch and go for a while. You can also catch a glimpse of my brother, Sam (beard and braces) and his fiance, Laura in the background - Laura's wearing her wrist corsage (below)<br />

Something pink and flowery - for Mr G. I was desperate for a pale peach
rose, but on the day, and after hoofing around no less than 5 different
florists, this was the best of the bunch. We kinda matched, if you were
wearing sunglasses.<br />

Jen spent 2 hours bleaching the ginger out, followed by two applications of the purple (a mixture of <a href="http://www.fudgehair.co.uk/categories/paintbox/Fudge-Paintbox-Extreme-Colours.htm">Fudge Paintbox Purple Haze </a>and <a href="http://www.crazyhaircolour.com/Crazy-Color-Violette-p/43.htm">Crazy Colour Violette</a>. There was still some ginger that refused to budge so we had to put a slightly darker shade of purple on top than I had been hoping for (top pick), but, after a few days of washing, the results are perfect! That's a photo of me at work on Saturday:</div>

Can't wait until I finally feel well enough to rock my new 'do in public. This lurgy is still hovering around my sinuses and settling in my chest - nasty! I've also been experimenting with Instagram recently. Find me here @baroque_boudoir and follow me so I can follow you back ;-) </div>

This past week has really thrown me. I've had the lurgy since last Monday and still not feeling 100%. I may well have overdone it the previous weekend...<br />
<br />
I sat my DVLA Theory Test on Thursday 19th and Passed! Yay! I've just booked my practical driving test as well, but I'm keeping the date a secret - couldn't face having to tell everyone if I fail :-(<br />
<br />
I'd managed to orchestrate a fantastic wee cultured day for myself and my colleague at work the next day. We spent the morning building model boats out of rubbish salvaged from the River Clyde. The boats, each one containing a message in a bottle, would be launched on the River as part of a <a href="http://www.glasgowinternational.org/">Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art </a>event, <a href="http://www.aboutuswithoutus.com/2012/04/glasgow-art-tv-and-govan.html">Nothing About Us Without Us Is For Us</a>.<br />
<br />
I cheated. I brought along one of crew to help - he has serious woodworking skills! Gerry constructed the hull using driftwood and 2 empty bottles of the native ned juice of choice, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckfast_Tonic_Wine">Buckfast</a>, or Buckie as it's known locally. I laced an old security sign to a stick, like a corset, and voila! We had our sail and <i>SV White Lightning</i> was born!<br />

Next on the 'arts and culture' agenda was a wee jaunt down to Glasgow Green for the opening of Jeremy Deller's interactive installation, <a href="http://www.glasgowinternational.org/index.php/events/view/Sacrilege/">Sacrilege</a>. To be honest, we had no idea what we were in for - it just sounded like a good way to skive work on a Friday afternoon.<br />

I've fallen way behind with my floristry updates but that's partly because I've been spending my spare time actually doing arrangements for other people - yay! The photo above is from my last official class - a modern arrangement with aspidistra leaves, pink anthuriums, hard ruscus, steel grass and some silver brunei - expertly chosen for me by the wondrous <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Roots-Fruits-Flowers/169147056439956">Di from Roots and Fruits</a> ;-) <br />
<br />
I definitely enjoy working with foliage as much as flowers. I like the structural nature of leaves. And I just love the colour green.<br />

This was a 'country cottage' style handtie that put together for a friend (and colleague's) birthday. This was a bit rushed and I wasn't too pleased with the outcome, but I still totally loved doing it!<br />

On the train to visit my mum and my mum-in-law. Two spring handties snuggled together on the seat next to me. Unfortunately this is the only photo I took of them - duh!<br />

Floristry class week 5. A table centrepiece. I was pretty pleased with myself when I took this photo in the classroom. Then I got home, plopped it down on my dining table, clocked it from a distance and noticed that I'd left a huge gap between the flowers and the bottom row of foliage. Need to stand further back when I'm arranging in oasis - lesson learned.<br />

Last, but not least, my most recent creation - a corsage for Miss Lou to wear to her cousin's wedding last weekend and a spare buttonhole - cause I had a left over rose bud and an extra 15 minutes. Was quite pleased with the actual arrangement until I tried to attach it to the corsage bracelet - what a pain in the arse!! It just flopped about everywhere and felt really uncomfortable to wear. I tried watching YouTube videos to check if I was doing the right thing, but it was too hard to make out. Anyone got any tips?? In the end I just whipped out the old glue gun (another awesome trick of the trade from Di!)<br />
<br />
I have my own cousin's wedding coming up at the end of the month and have promised corsages/buttonholes to various family members. More practice!

Sunday afternoon in the park. Picked up this cute-as-a-button spring cape from ASOS for a bargainous £21. Was planning to wear it on Saturday with my floral trousers (featured <a href="http://baroqueboudoir.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/photo-hour.html">here</a>) but the cacophony of colour was a bit much for Mr G's slightly delicate, hungover eyes. So instead, I kept it simple for a leisurely stroll over to Shawlands on Sunday afternoon.<br />

<b><i>Saturday, 8.00am. Up with the lark, so a much needed cuppa to start the day.</i></b></div>
<br />
It's been a while, hasn't it? I guess this is what folk mean when they say that real life gets in the way. It certainly has, but in a good way. My dad is FINALLY home from Malta and well on his way to recovery - thanks to everyone for their support. I've been busying myself with floral arrangements for family and friends and Mr G and I have been busying ourselves getting the house ready to sell. So, I thought I'd get myself back into blogging again with a wee 'photo an hour' challenge. Saturday was jam-packed with loads of exciting things, so I figured it was a good day to start with. No one wants to see a photo an hour of me at my desk at work...<br />

<b><i>2.00pm. In the <a href="http://www.cineworld.co.uk/news/316/detail">D-Box at Cineworld</a>, Renfrew Street to 'experience' John Carter in 4D... </i></b></div>
<br />
Some of you may be familiar with <a href="http://baroqueboudoir.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/springsummer-inspiration.html">my apathy towards the cinema experience</a>. In general, I dislike it, immensely. But if anything's going to interest me it's the promise of a giant hotdog and a new gimmick. 3D fails to excite me. Mr G and I have had lengthy debates about this in the past - we have a 3D TV - and we've tried sitting closer, more centrally, to one side etc. Nothing does it for me. It's just a bit 'meh'. But 4D? Now THAT'S an experience! Special seats actually move and vibrate throughout the film:<br />
<br />
<i>" D-BOX simulators offer the next dimension of the cinematic experience, placing viewers in the centre of the action. With seat movements perfectly synchronized to the onscreen action and sounds, D-BOX seats create an unmatched realistic immersive experience."</i><br />
<br />
I'll never see a 2D film again! Tickets are a bit on the expensive side, but totally worth it. So, if you're in Glasgow, I highly recommend the 4D experience, but as for everyone else, I'm afraid you're going to have to wait. Apparently the D-Box seats are only available in the Glasgow Cineworld for the time being. <i><br />

New style crush. Katia from <a href="http://www.heydickface.com/">Hey Dickface</a> (thanks to <a href="http://www.ladycroissant.com/">Adeline</a> for introducing me!) This luscious lady popped up in <a href="http://baroqueboudoir.blogspot.com/2012/03/floral-crowns-and-frock-for-sale.html">my last post</a> and I've been creeping all over her blog for the past few days. This hair colour in particular really floats my boat.<br />
<br />
All these yummy turkish delight/ice cream shades popping up all over the high street have caused me to lose my shopping mojo. I'm conflicted. I want bright orange hair but it just no-worky. Not sure I'll be able to make it through spring/summer without lilacy-peachy hair. Lilac hair would solve all my problems. But will I be able to strip out the orange??<br />
<br />
Was well jel when Claire from <a href="http://beewaits.blogspot.com/">Beewaits</a> went lilac back in September, but now she's decided to go blonde again I reckon I could get away with it without looking like a total stalker?<br />

Can't believe I'm even considering peach hair. When I was 20 peach hair was the bain of my life. My wonderful fuschia pink washed to peach on a regular basis. Ten years on and I WANT IT BACK!!!<br />
<br />
If it all goes wrong, I can always dye it back to black.

New obsession. Floral crowns. I think this will be the headpiece of choice for my cousin's wedding at the end of the month. I've changed my mind a million times about the dress and accessories. Had originally planned to wear this Ted Baker fairy print dress with my Melissa wedges and a fake <a href="http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/fashion/archive/2011/07/25/the-cherry-hat--cherry-red-soles-and-a-giant-shoe-collection.htm">Piers Atkinson cherry hat</a> BUT, the dress is too big around my non existant bust, so I'd need to have it altered and frankly, I can't be arsed. I'm gonna sell it on Ebay next week. However, you lovely ladies have first refusal. It's brand new, with tags, and I've had it hanging up in my wardrobe so it's not creased. It's a Ted Baker size 2 which translates as a UK 10. I'd say it's true to size (as long as you have a decent pair of boobs to hold it up!). It's RRP £199. I paid £100 so that's what I'd like to recuperate. Please leave a comment below or <a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/Baroque_Boudoir">tweet me</a> if you're interested.<br />
