Hello, hello! I've said it before and I will say it again, I would totally have a much more full time fashion blog if I had a talented photographer at my disposal to take photos like these on the regular, but alas, it is an odd occasion. When I see my Mom every other month we try and get quite a few looks in or in this case when my friend Kier of Kier Couture came to visit last month we took photos at iconic locations as I showed her around my new home town on a gorgeous Saturday. These first set of photos were taken at Covent Garden, one of my favorite places to take friends, and the second set were taken near the Tower Bridge on the South Bank - both in Central London.

Exploring the Mount Kenya Safari Club
Hello and good morning from a very rainy and dreary Scotland? Scotland you may ask - what does that have to do with today's post? Well, the first answer is that is where in the world I am hitting publish from and it is also a bit ironic that the last three days I have been staying at the beautiful Fairmont St. Andrews with work and when I took the photos earlier this year for today's post I was staying at a different Fairmont Hotel in Kenya.

The next place we visited on our African adventure was Mount Kenya - the highest mountain in Kenya and the second highest mountain in all of Africa, after Kilimanjaro in nearby Tanzania. Nearby you can find the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, home to ...

Shine So Bright, Camping the Sahara
Welcome to my second Morocco post! I try and keep it bright and shiny here on Sparkles and Shoes but I must tell you - I was pretty devastated that when I was in the Sahara Desert earlier this month while I was in the middle of shooting the stars my DSLR camera broke. In order to get a clear picture you need to keep the lens open for at least 30 seconds, often more like 60 seconds, so there was no chance an iPhone photo was going to cut it. Therefore, I got far fewer photos than I was planning on getting and I think the quality could have been better but for what I did get, take a look at my top three star photos. But first, let me explain how I got to the Moroccan / Algerian border. When I read the itinerary of the group trip to Morocco I chose the ...
