Helen's crushin on.....mo'adore

This fabulous Scottish blogger writes about a variety of things but with a focus on a cruelty free, vegan and ethical lifestyle. Morag (or Mo) has created a go to resource in the form of her cruelty free brand list and it has definitely been a great help in my quest to find new cruelty free beauty products. I also love how she highlights places to go and things to do that are within my locality. There's even a handy little map on the sidebar showing her top places to eat, drink and shop. Reading her restruant and cafe reviews has already built up a list of places I need to visit.

You can also find mo'adore on twitter where she hosts a twitter chat for cruelty free bloggers every Thursday.


Kimberley's crushin on.... Is It Vintage
Sticking with the Scottish blogger theme today, Ema from Is It Vintage is a girl after my own heart. While she is a diehard vintage wearer (as her blog name suggests) she sticks to a signature modern style and fits pieces into her look. Whilst I have more of a retro aesthetic for my hourglass shape, she has a grungey 90s look that is more youthful and contemporary. It's a strong look that moves with the trends rather than harking back to past eras that I quite enjoy to follow- she's currently edging towards 70s fringing. Ema is a fellow Edinburgh blogger and we met her recently; and she's a babe in real life too.

We're hoping to catch her around again soon- in the mean time you can stalk her latest looks on instagram or twitter.


We're also lovin':

• Lynnie-Bops write up of the ASA Kewpie party. She even mentioned us, what a sweetheart!
• Our lady Miss West End Girl and the lovely Elaine from What Diana Did Next have started up an awesome podcast. Check out Those Gals! 
• One of our Edinburgh blogger buddies Alley Hope is sorely missed now that she's headed off to Gloucestershire (boo!) but we can still catch up with her honest beauty reviews online.
• A little biased, but Kimberley's final fave this week is Helen's post on her jewellery blog Jolly Good about the Sugar and Vice's amazing come back from the fire that destroyed their laser cutter. We are all about supporting this great wee brand.
