Crimson Make up bag

Looking forward to my summer holiday abroad I was looking for a make up bag that is the perfect size to take all my bits and pieces of make up.

I am thrilled to have found a crimson make up bag by Nikky d’Aguilar that is the perfect size and what’s even more appealing is that its beautifully handmade so no two bags are the same making it quite special as its made with fabric printed from her oil paintings. The paintings are inspired by the flowers, foliage and vibrant colours around her home on Bardowie Loch.

The fabric is a high quality linen union, which is PVC coated on the inside for water resistance and strength. The bags have a waterproof inner lining and are fitted with robust 5mm zips which are colour matched to the fabric. The base is wider so when you fill them they sit flat on your dressing table.

Designed and made in Scotland. Size: 22 x 15

Let the holidays begin…

So, the shoots of spring are beginning to creep out of the cold winter earth, and finally thoughts of summer cross your mind. You realize that you’ve been head down for the long winter months and it’s high time that you and yours had a break. Maybe it’s a short city break, perhaps a week in a remote stunning landscape, but wherever you choose to recharge your batteries, the accommodation is a key part to a successful time out.

The traditional choices of hotel or bed and breakfast are now joined by a flourishing industry of holiday let accommodation, which offers some distinct advantages. Freedom and privacy are two important features of renting an apartment or cottage of your own for the duration of your stay. True, there will be no concierge or room service (although some “>holiday lets, as they are much more than that. You have every home comfort, but with the sole purpose of giving you space to relax and enjoy, without the daily lists that accompany each of us in our own home. A hotel room can be a pretty lonely, confined space at times, whereas your own apartment or cottage can provide the welcome warmth and space you need. There can also be the advantage of outdoor space, or a pool/Jacuzzi that you don’t have to share with 100 others.

And last but definitely not least – the cost.
