SPARKLES

SKIRT|PENNYS  WATCH|MICHAEL KORS TOP|H&M

I hope all of you guys had a lovely Christmas ,cus I know I did. I'm so freaking SICK of turkey and its only boxing day AND if I see another selection box or box of biscuits I think I'm going to go crazy BUT all in all I'm just extremely grateful that I spent time with my family and friends and that all my people are healthy, safe and happy.

This outfit was so 'last minute put together ' . Lace and sparkle what a beautiful combination . This skirt and I were lovers at first sight, and when I wore it I felt like a beautiful disco ball BUT OMG I regretted it the sparkles got EVERYWHERE like seriously everywhere (even body places it shouldn't have been lol). A trick for all you girls (or boys ) who have sequins or sparkles on clothes and it keeps falling off , spray the entire thing with hairspray and this will at as a glue to keep it all on . 

Anyway i hope you guys had a good day. and ate loads and got lots of lovely presents. Make my day everyone and follow my blog or simply leave a comment .

Today I found out Paul Walker died in a car crash . Its not like i knew him personally but his death really affected me, it gave me sort of the shake i needed to realize that life is way too short to be worrying about the little things and that I should make the most of every moment. So instead of spending the day mopping around I spent the day with my college family eating ice cream and drinking wine ( my two favorite things in the world ). 

I'm normally one of those girls who dress extremely dark when the weather is cold but today i decided to ditch my all black outfits and dress in some pretty bright colours ,cus bright colours is scientifically proven to brighten your mood (okay i dont know if its SCIENTIFICALLY proven ) but it sure made me happy . 

stay blessed everyone and have a good week and please make my day and follow my blog or simply just leave a comment

SHOW ME ...THAT POP OF COLOUR !!

I don't know where you are in the world but right here in Ireland the weather and the atmosphere is amazing . There is something about the sun that makes everyone just happy ( and boys more cutier COME ON  I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THAT LOL  )

SO yesterday was my friend peter birthday and i decided to pull out this little number from H&M . I'm not going lie when I bought this dress i initially envisioned styling it in a monochrome sort of way ,with lots of blacks and greys and some nice pair of boots. But that's the thing about me and my style   its so unpredictable and I love it to reflect how I am feeling so instead of going for a monochrome look , i decided to jazz up the dress by adding a little bit of red . Its amazing how i am only wearing two things that are red but yet it transform my outfit and these shoes ...so comfy . Anyway have a good week everyone and please do me a favour and follow my blog or simply leave a comment with your blog so i can check it out , I'm always interested in other blogs xxx

SHOW ME...CÉLINE

 

  
 So I haven't blogged in like a month, let me tell you why now. I felt like I needed to go and get inspiration and gather up my ideas so my blog would  be nothing but the best for my followers . I LOVE blogging and fashion so much and I want to be the best at it , so I have literally spent my summer studying and getting better and I hope it shows in all my future post.

Okay on to my outfit . You know those days, your day is so busy that you just want to wear sweats and a big jumper and get on with your day !! NO ! ME NEITHER !! Even on my busiest of days I like to look somewhat decent .Today I just wore my AWESOMELY COMFY Céline top with a maxi skirt and some New Look flats. I spent the day moving into my new apartment so heels were out of the question but later on the day when I was a little less busier I wore some strappy heels . This is a perfect examples of a simple stylish quick outfit . ENJOY !!

SHOW ME ...INSPIRATION PART 3

This month I got to interview another one of my favourite bloggers THE PINK THREAD. I have been following Lana Cruz's blog for years now and when I asked her to anwser a couple of question for my blog she was MORE than happy to do it (not only is she an AMAZING dresser, super beautiful and has a SUPER cute husband but she is also sweet and nice)

Here is how our interview went.

Lana:Sorry for the delayed response!! Thank you so much for your interest in my blog and style. It is always so encouraging to hear that I can be an inspiration to people!!

 1. What your favourite fashion trend this spring

1. My favorite fashion trends for this spring/summer are a lot of basics, simple silhouette's and monochromatic's! On my shopping list is, white skinnies, nude heels, simple stripe sweater, black cami, black maxi dress, white embroidered tops, white blazer, etc. Another trend that I am loving for this season is overalls. I recently picked up a pair of short overalls, but I am also on the look out for a long pant overall as well.

2. how would you describe your style

2.I would describe my style as simple/classic. I feel my best when I have a simple, no fuss outfit on. whether that is dressed up or down, that is when I feel most stylish. Only when I am in the right mood will I adventure out for something eclectic, when I know that I can accurately display a fashion trend with the right items. Otherwise I stay simple, because I know that it will always work.

 

 

 

3. Do you have any bad habits when it comes to fashion ( like being over matchy)

3. I think my bad habit when it comes to fashion is that I "try" too hard sometimes. I need to trust my own sense of style and mood. It's when I try to be something that I'm not, that I always end up feeling uncomfortable. So if I'm feeling simple I need to keep it simple, if I'm feeling adventurous and bold then I need to try something adventurous and bold. I need to pay attention to my moods.

 

 

4. what country best suits your style

4. I think the best country that suits me is Europe! I have been to Croatia and the whole time that I was there I was staring at the women passing by me on the street. They know how to wear something simple (there I am again) but make it look as if it is the most glamourous thing you have ever seen. It's also about quality for them, they have simple, few pieces, but they are high quality which makes them look so put together.

5 . and do you think style in europe has improved

5. I haven't been to Europe since 2009 so I'm not sure if I can accurately answer that. But one thing that I can say is that some of my favorite fashion blogs are from Europe and the similar thread that I find between all of them is that simple, classic style that is so fashion forward in my opinion. So I think that Europe is doing amazing things when it comes to fashion.

6. who is your celeb girl crush

6. My celebrity crush is probably Gweneth Paltrow. She is so classy and her style is so easy. I love her cool laid back look and also her stunning statuesque red carpet style. She plays things simple and elegant, which I love!!

 

 

Thank you so much lana . Make sure to check out The Pink Thread.

SHOW ME...WHO THE BOSS IS !!!!!!

shoes new look | leggings vero moda | top river Island |blazer bongo

FIRST OF ALL let me just start off by saying YEEEEEEEEEEEY ITS SUMMER. Thank flipping Moses . The sun has finally decided to show itself in my sunless country Ireland. I have been rocking skirts and shorts (without tights might I add) and tank tops.There is something about the sun that makes people happy (and colleges more empty lol).

Anyway I'm loving this outfit cus its just so freaking cool . I wore it to college and it was comfy and yet still so stylish. This blazer is defiantly going to be used ALOT this summer cus I can throw it over most of my clothes (seeing that most of my clothes are black). Nothing else to say about this outfit . So leave a comment and tell me what you think .MWAHHH !!

SHOW ME ...SOMETHING STATEMENT PART 1

I have never been the type of girl who was afraid of standing out in the crowd . I wear luminous  colours  or bright red  lipstick, big necklaces or bright colours to a funereal (okay maybe not that bad BUT you get what i mean ) . To me all these stand out items are what are  called statement pieces so what are statement pieces you ask me?  Statement pieces are ANYTHING (from necklaces to shoes to bags to jewellery to even hair pieces ) that gives your outfit that extra glam  or makes your outfit stand out from the rest. Statement pieces have the ability to turn a boring outfit like jeans and a t shirt to instant glam with a statement like a cobalt blue blazer.

Today my favourite statement pieces is my pencil print skirt from HEATON , YES HEATONS. Heatons for  anyone who doesnt live in Ireland is one of those shops you don't go into cus its the  type of shop well mostly grannies go into . But one day on one of my crazy skip colleges adventures i randomly stepped into heatons ( I'm not going to lie it was mostly to get out of the rain BUT HEY God works in mysterious ways) and what was staring me in the face nothing but this beautiful skirt from the SALES rack at a whooper saving of ten euro. I love it so much i had to wear it TWICE in the space of two weeks. Reducing cost , reuse and RE-FABULOUS !!

SHOW ME...INSPIRATION PART 2

Getting people to read your blog is one of the hardest thing about starting a  new blog and its so nice when people who are already establish taking the time to not only read my blog but answers question for my inspiration pieces. This month i had the pleasure of doing an interview with one of my FAVOURITES blogger out there Fisayo .  Her style is so edgy but yet has an edge of femininity to it , look at her she sums up cool in one picture .Make sure to check out her blog at mirrormemore.

1. What is your favourite fashion trend this spring 

 I've actually forgotten what the SS13 trends were, it gets so confusing with all the different seasons. I'm not bothered about trends so much but right now, I love white. That's probably what I'm into the most at the moment. Winter whites and then taking that right on into spring. 

2. how would you describe your style

 My style is a bit of everything. I just try whatever excites me and whatever I've been inspired by at the moment. I think that as I grow up, I might realise what look suits me more and then stick to that but for now, I'm just having fun and experimenting

3. Do you have any bad habits when it comes to fashion ( like being over matchy)

 My only fashion bad habit is my shopping habits. I'm like a kid in a candy store when I walk into my favourite stores or look st my favourite online stores as is more often the case. Sometimes, I need to take a step back and think properly.

4. what  country best suits your style

 I think it's probably where I live at the moment- England. Sometimes I wish our online department stores had some specific designers like Elizabeth and James or Manolo Blahnik but in general, I think we do quite well with fashion. Otherwise, it would have to be New York City as opposed to the USA as a whole.

5 . and do you think style in Ireland has improved 
Style in Ireland? I have no idea! I've never been there or looked into it. Why? Are you from Ireland?

yes i do live there . Lots of designers from Ireland are getting recognition and MY LITTLE OUL IRELAND is starting to poke out its head in the fashion world.

and last but not least 
 6. who is your celeb girl crush 
 That would have to be Mila Kunis- she's way too cute.

SHOW ME ...THE WEDDING DAY

I WANT TO HAVE A wedding . My Friends are like but you dont want to get married and I'm like ye but I want a wedding LOL. Its was my sisters (from another mister ) wedding and she looked so beautiful , I love suzette to bits and i wish her and Rab every sucess in their marriage.

On to my outfit i really loved this peplum dress from River Island cus it was very figure hugging in the right places but yet the peplum part hid my tummy after all the awesome food. And my zara straps heel went perfect with this outfit . It was a simple yet elegant outfit.

SHOW ME ...SOME INSPIRATION PART 1

Too say I'm super excited about this post would be the BIGGEST UNDERSTATEMENT EVER . Last week I got the greatest opportunity to talk to one of the biggest bloggers around Sabby Hills. I have loved her tough yet feminine style for long time and when I got to ask her  a couple of questions of it she was more than happy to answer . follow her blog @superstylebaby .


1. What your favourite fashion trend this spring ?

 I have a couple of fave fashion trends this spring, I'll tell you my top 4! First is white tuxedo jacket...... I've my eye on a Sandro beauty but will prob buy a Pennys version! Second is beading....love the beading on Oscar De la Renta dresses was gorge! I'm not a huge fan of sequins at the best of times so I'm embracing this look. I've seen a fab pair of affordable heels from Zara! And my third trend this spring is Black and White......I loved Jason Wu's monochrome looks on the runway and I'll definitely be recreating his clean cut look this spring! Fourth and my fave is braiding....(I know you didn't mention hair but it's my passion and what I love blogging) its going to really take off this year and I'm going embracing it. I'm going to do a braid dare soon, watch out!!!

 2. how would you describe your stlye ?

 I'd describe my style as classic with an feminine edge but then I can go totally hippy with a bit of grunge thrown in. I find it hard to classify my style because you name....and I've got it in my wardrobe! I buy lots a classic pieces from Zara and topshop but I love adding my own twist with accessories.

3. Do you have any bad habits when it comes to fashion ( like being over matchy) ?

  My bad habit when it comes to fashion is being swayed by bargains....or so called bargains. Way too many things in my wardrobe that I haven't worn! 

4. what country best suits your style ?

 Definitely European either France (my love for Kooples know no end!) or Spain (I'm addicted to Zara and crave the sun!)

 5 . and do you think stlye in Ireland has improved  ? 

I definitely think it has improved. Between major young designers such as J W Anderson really making it big with collaborations with Topshop and fantastic stylists such as Angela Scanlon making it big in the UK (recently printed as the new big thing in Vogue!) we are definitely making our mark in the fashion world! I think nowadays young women know they're body shapes and styles and definitely veer towards dressing themselves for these reasons and not just because something is in fashion.

 6. who is your celeb girl crush ?

 This is something I've actually never thought of! Only because I change my style so often. I suppose my ultimate celeb girl crush would have to be Gwen Stefani. She's definitely a girl who can one day go for a rock chick look and the next can be über glam....and always wear bright lipstick doing it!

HAPPY VALENTINES EVERYONE . I HATE valentines with a passion I probably shouldn't start my post with this statement but i really do BUT this year I actually made an effort to make it 'special ' . I'm currently single ( and happy ) so my single ladies and I decided to make it special by dressing up and making a candle-lit dinner together. (Actually they cooked and I blogged )

I decided to commit to this whole ' loving valentines day ' and wear  my 'if  I could rearrange the alphabet I would put you and I TOGETHER ' CHEESE RIGHT LOL . I dont like pink so if i ever wear it I HAVE to wear it with tones of black as you can see .

Seriously even though i HATE valentines day I do believe LOVE in general is very important and everyone deserve love in their life.
