I wore this outfit on Saturday heading out shopping and for dinner. It was quite cold and rainy out, this outfit kept me warm and is super comfy for running around the shops but yet is stylish enough to wear out for a meal afterwards! I was so disappointed coming back to the awful Irish weather after being away in the sun all week! 

I love my new scarf from Parfois that I got in Portugal last week. The print is so amazing and the quality is fantastic. It was such a bargin at only a tenner!!!

I bought the fake specks a month ago from Jeepers Peepers on ASOS. I know a lot of people aren't fans of these glasses but I think they are fab! They are so funky and add a totally different look to an outfit! 

Hope you all like my outfit! 

Have a great week!

Pyjama Suit

I love this outfit...

It stands out from the crowd, but it's definitely daring!

I call it my pyjama suit for a reason and I sometimes catch people giving me strange looks when I wear it (good or bad I don't know! Ha!). But I just think it's fantastic! I love the colour and the geometric print. I definitely think this look means business, it's quite formal, so it's great for work. 

The top and trousers are separates which is brilliant because it's super easy to dress them down for a more casual look. I wear the shirt more often, pairing it with jeans and boots. The trousers I wear with a slouchy black tee tucked in the front. 

H&M are brilliant for co-ord pieces like this and the prices are very reasonable. 

I got my bag in Parfois in Portugal during the summer. I had never heard of the shop until I found it while rambling around the little cobble stoned streets of Cascais looking for holiday gifts for friends. I used to work in Brown Thomas and people always ask me if I got the bag there, which says a lot about its quality. (Check out my Parfois post here). The bag is quite sports luxe, I just think it finishes the outfit off perfectly. I bought my shoes in M&S for an interview YEARS ago. They are very classic (I'm pretty sure they still sell the same ones today) and a fantastic staple in anyone's shoe collection!

What do you guys think of this look? I'd love to know!

Have a great week,

Parfois Comes To Dublin City !

 

Yesterday I attended a blogger event celebrating the opening of Parfois on Mary Street in Dublin. I was so excited by this after having stumbled upon the shop in Portugal during the summer (I spent all of my holiday money here)! 

 

Greeted at the door I was welcomed in and given Butlers hot chocolate to warm up from the cold!

I was immediately taken by the bright, modern and dazzling open space full of every type, style and colour of accessory a girl could ever ask for!

 

For those of you whom have never heard of Parfois before, it is a very on trend accessories shop that prides itself on its affordable, high quality products.

 

The collection hosts everything from grunge cut out boots, to lady like pearls, to jet-setter weekend bags, the list goes on and on. The icing on the cake is that prices start from as little as €1.50! (The most expensive item being €55, a large patent faux croc weekend bag with wheels, stunning)! Plus they have weekly stock drops which ensures products are fresh, new and fashionable.

 

Here is a taster of some of the products available in store now:

 

The event was hosted by the gorgeous Anouska, who presented her favourite Parfois picks

Hey guys hope you all enjoyed your weekend! 

I wore this on Sunday for meeting a friend in town. Had to go to Brown Thomas to get new MAC make up, to my disgust I'm loosing my suntan already and had to go back to a paler foundation so I picked up StudioFix foundation in NC20 and LightPlus mineral powder. The girls in MAC are so helpful I love going in there. I also picked up a gorgeous kimono in SOHO in Stephens Green shopping centre. Which I might show you guys in an ootd soon.  

We went for a few cocktails  in Pygmalion on South William Street I would usually go here for Sunday drinks. €5 in and 40% off drinks, along with great music, friendly staff and generous helpings of spirits you really can't go wrong! Ended the evening with a Rays pizza slice! YUM!
