Who is Behind Velvet Winter?

I love reading random facts about people and since I have never done one, now is the time! These are probably really boring but it was really fun writing this post. Here goes:

♥ My name is Eilidh which is pronounced 'Ay-lay' and originates from Scotland (where I live). However I often get asked how to say my name or where I am from..

♥ My age is 19 and will turn 20 in July. Not sure that I am ready to leave my teenage years as I still feel like a 16 year old inside.

Me as a baby with my sisters
♥ I was a stubborn 10 year old and decided that I wanted to become a vegetarian and still am to this day. It was a bit hard growing up as all of my family were meat eaters but I pushed through! There was one slip up though a few years a go when a restaurant gave me meat lasagna instead of vegetable but lets not go there!

♥ I am the youngest of 3 with my sister Kirsty being 27 and Jen 25. Growing up with them was great and I definitely looked up to them immensely, still do.

♥ My 3 nieces and 2 nephews are very important to me and I adore them heaps. We are all such a close knit family!

The family at Christmas minus Sofia who was asleep in her cot

♥ In 2013 I moved to Aberdeen, which is an hour and a half train journey from home, to study Fashion Management at university. Although my boyfriend is through here with me, it is hard being away from home. It really does take moving away to appreciate every thing your mum has done for you growing up... and makes you realise massive piles of washing is not fun. 

♥ Me and my boyfriend Joseph have been together for 3 and a half years. Who knew a relationship that started over MSN could last so long huh? ha ha! He is definitely my rock.

Joseph and I
♥ After uni I have no idea what career I want to pursue, I do know that moving even further from home will probably be a must though as where I am from has no opportunities with fashion. This scares me a lot but is definitely something to look forward to.

♥ I am one of these major pug lovers, my boyfriend now is too! We have already established names for our future ones.

♥ I definitely get stuck in ruts with the way I dress and do my makeup. Moving to a bigger city has definitely make me experiment though.

♥ This is also the case for food. Right now my meal choices are always pasta with cheese or pasta in a tomato sauce.

♥ Most people say I come across as very shy, that's not the case though! I'm just more of a listener than talker.

♥ I would much rather sit in with a takeaway and a film than go on a night out. Though they are fun every so often, mainly just cause I like getting dressed up.

♥ The amount of times I have watched all of 90210 would exceed the fingers on both hands.. I constantly have it on as background noise.

♥ As much as I love doing my makeup, hate doing my eyebrows. Such a hassle!

♥ I visited Brighton for the first time last year and fell in love. Dying to go back and even move there in the future.


So there you go, a few facts about me! Hope it was not too boring for you





Do you have any interesting facts about yourself?

  13. Love this post! Your life sounds so interesting! And I agree, as much as I love makeup, it is such a hassle to do eyebrows...I think I spend more time on my eyebrows than my eyeshadow!
