took a trip to... La La Land

Not that I enjoy a wee nosey or anything but along comes a new boutique and well it would be rude not to have a peep! The ever busy Sarah Graham of Coveted Magazine treated us all to some bubbly, Aunty M's scrummy cakes and a little goodie bag at the opening night of her new shop La La Land. 

 Situated in the ever popular De Courcys Arcade off Byres Road in Glasgow's West End, La La Land is fabulous boutique stocking names such as Tatty Devine, Lazy Off and one of my favs Brat & Suzie (bought one of their t-shirts at the summer Bust Craftatular in London!).

Also bumped into Tatiana Ashakova from Esteem Makeover who styled and did make up for two of the new issue of the Coveted Magazine, along with Elaine Ford, the model on the cover.

If your a magazine hoarder like me but are short of the pennies, why not pop down to her  fashion magazine swapshop on Thursday 21st October.

Phewee mrs!

Yesterday one half of Ding Dong (Josie) popped on her bike and Pedalled for Scotland!

Weird circle bike!

When I woke up in the morning, couldnt believe how nervous I was. But the the sun was certainly shining down on us. Pedal for Scotland is a charity ride starting at Glasgow, glides past Lanarkshire and ends in Edinburgh. 

There is such an array of different bikes including tadems, low riding cyles, tadem trikes, Penny Frathings (3 started at the same time as me) and this incredible bike that 7 people get one! Best way to discribe is they all sit in a circle but it goes straight! here is a picture of it.

There was such a great atmosphere throughout the day. We managed to finish it in about under 5 hours. I really recommend anyone to give it a chance. 

I was riding in aid of SAMH charity, Scottish Association of Mental Health.This charity not only helps people suffering with mental health issues but also helps fight the stigma of mental health. If you have a little spare change I would love if you sponsored me. Every penny counts. my page is www.justgiving.com/josiemckay
