Denim Dazed

When we were in Amsterdam we did the typical tourist things. We visited the Van Gogh museum, the Anne Frank museum, three different sex museums (it is Amsterdam afterall), the Extra Ice Bar and the Red Light District. We also went on a cycle around Vondelpark and did A LOT of walking. 

Amy has added a denim jacket to her outfit, which gives her outfit a creative edge. The backpack is very practical for the trip as it doesn't feel as heavy lugging this around all day, the bag has a hipster vibe which adds to the creative edge of Amy's outfit. Overall she definitely fits in with Amsterdam's street style.

Edinburgh is another city that is full of students, as there are four different universities located in and around the outskirts of the city. So as you can guess, the city has a lot to offer in the way of fashion. Students walking everywhere and not one of them in the same outfit, as they each have their own identity and know exactly how to express it through fashion.

As Winter is finally here, it means we can start rocking the warm accessories. Erin's boots are not only warm and cosy, but they bring her whole outfit together. They are also extremely practical as they are flat and perfect for walking around the city. The jacket may not be all that warm for the weather, it is certainly on trend for the season and ties in well with the outfits theme colour: black. Finally the scarf brings the whole outfit together by injecting some colour, showing how easy it is to accessorise your look. 

Sarah wears: Jacket - Avon // Jeans - New Look // Boots - New Look // Scarf - New Look

Sarah's whole outfit is very much on point with this seasons trends. Starting with the trench coat, a staple and a must have piece in any wardrobe. However, this particular trench coat stands out with the leopard lining, this is visible as Sarah has upturned the sleeves so it fits in with the leopard trend that is very popular at the moment. Sarah's boots, like Erin's, are very practical. As they are long boots they will keep her feet cosy, making them the ideal boot for the winter months. They are also perfect for a trip to the city,when you know you are going to be doing lots of walking. Finally, an accessory to complete the outfit: a scarf. The scarf is the perfect colour to harmonise with the rest of the outfit. 

So before you visit Edinburgh this winter, make sure you've got your cosy winter boots that are perfect for walking around the whole city, as the last thing you want is getting toes cold enough you can't carry on shopping or sightseeing any longer!

I was in Glasgow with my friends to see Gorgon City (who are a house and electronic duo), luckily two of my friends, who I was there with are from Glasgow and were able to show me around, so I could see the city from their point of view and make sure I didn't get lost (which would most definitely happen to me). They showed me places that I would never think to venture to if I was in the city on my own.

Let's start with the trainers, the perfect footwear for a city since there is so much walking to be done, and we all certainly walked a lot this day. They also allow both outfits to be very casual, if either of these outfits had been worn with heels they would instantly become very formal and you could easily go on a night out dressed like this! However, since we were going to a concert it was a much more laid-back situation, clothes wise. Although the weather was quite chilly, a light jacket was also an essential, as the concert venue was gonna be extremely hot and carrying around a big, heavy jacket was not ideal, especially when you just wanna be dancing around and having a good time.


Glasgow is well known for being full of very distinct fashion choices. When we were on our walk to the concert, I spotted people who were filming in the middle on the street. They stood out to me as their outfits were so different to anything I normally see. This gives them an identity and lets them stand out, which is the whole point of fashion! Each one of them brings something a bit extra to their outfit; the guy on the left has upturned his trousers and used layering to add interest to the outfit, the girl has her headphones around her neck using them as an accessory and finally the guy on the right has added a beanie to his outfit. Unfortunately I did not get the chance to ask them where their clothes were from, but it just makes the outfits even more intriguing.


I really enjoyed my time in Glasgow, even though it was a flying visit. I briefly explored a city I have not visited very often. When I do it's only ever to go shopping! It's full of fashion choices that  you can only find in a big city like Glasgow. I highly recommend everyone visits and make sure you look out for all the unique fashion choices!

Both the coat and the trainers have already featured on a previous blog post, so as you know are very practical items and perfect for a walk around the lake in Duns. I also threw on a pair of mom jeans, as they are comfy, which makes for the perfect pair of jeans for a walk. I also wore a long sleeved top as it was VERY cold, I should have copied Sarah and wore some gloves!

For my birthday this year, my friends and I decided to go to Newcastle for a night out, this was mainly due to my friend Sarah and I's obsession with Geordie Shore. It also happened to be three of my other friends birthdays as well, so it was a quadruple celebration! However, the weekend we spent in Newcastle was very busy and I didn't have time to take pictures of the cities street style, so thought I would talk about the nightlife fashion instead, after all Newcastle is very famous for its nightlife.

Of course we all spent forever trying to find the perfect outfit, black being the favourite colour of choice for more than half of the group. Black is the ideal colour; anyone that wears anything black will almost always suit it, there is no need to buy any new accessories because you will definitely have a pair of heels, a bag and some jewellery lying around your bedroom that will certainly match your outfit. No one can go wrong with a little black dress (or jumpsuit in Sarah's case). 

Hello and welcome to my first post on Denim Dazed, this is the first entry in my ten post series which will look at street style in 10 different cities. As you can see from the title, Aberdeen is the first city I will be looking at. I decided to start with Aberdeen as this is where I both live and study, so thought it made perfect sense!
