Real Life Tattiebogle

Hi there, I’m Nicola and I’m a real life tattiebogle.

For those of you who don’t know, “tattiebogle” is the Scottish word for scarecrow, and with my eclectic style that’s kinda what I am.

I stumble (often comically, think Frank Spencer meets Bridget Jones) through life with my beautiful and mischevious black cat Baby, and we’ve decided to share our good times with all of you.

I have a degree in fashion but left that all behind many moons ago to work for my local authority, however a few years back my life took an unexpected turn with a divorce and a diagnosis of Multiple Scleroris. Trying to work out what to do with myself after cutting my working hours, I decided to volunteer at a local charity shop where my eyes were opened wide to the possibility of fabulous style at very low prices.

I’ll share what I’ve learned about creating these looks, whilst trying to find ways that we can all help with some of the issues of today, protecting our environment, leading healthy lives and making the world a fairer, more just place for everyone.
