Shine On (Metallic brogues & backpack)

 
 
Jamie Jeans / Topshop , 2 in 1 Jumper / Penneys , Bag / New Look
Shoes / Penneys (Primark) , Glasses / Jeepers Peepers @ ASOS
Watch / Michael Kors , Bracelets / Alex & Ani
 
 

I'm loving anything and everything silver right now, especially silver brogues and handbags!

I picked up my silver brogues in Penneys (Primark) during the summer and when I saw this silver backpack in New Look recently I knew I had to have it! Both pieces are surprisingly versatile and really make an outfit stand out. 

I decided to wear them both together and pare it back with on trend ripped knee skinnies and a slouchy jumper, for a more casual look. 

I absolutely loved shooting this today in Malahide Castle Dublin the backdrop is stunning!

Hope you enjoyed my latest look,
Have a great week!

The Boho Kimono

 
Kimono / H&M , Fedora / H&M , Jeans / Topshop
Boots / Penneys , Watch / Guess , Rings / Penneys,H&M,Topshop

 
 
 

I bought this fantastic kimono in H&M on Saturday while shopping in town. The colours are so beautiful and the quality is fab. I was so shocked when I saw the price tag - only €12.95! Bargain!

Its so flattering on and super easy to style. I love it over jeans for a casual spring look but as it comes into the summer music festival season I'd wear it with frayed denim shorts and a floral head band (eek so cute)! 
Get it quick, it's selling out fast!

 

Hope you all like my latest look,

Leather Weather

Leather Biker / River Island , Tartan Dress / Penneys (Primark) 
Photographer : Sarah Orr (www.sarahorrphotography.com)

This look is all about the leather jacket which is from River Island. I love leather jackets especially these biker styles with exposed zips and/or buckles. The fluffy fur lining definitely makes this jacket, it doesn't only look great but makes the jacket really warm. The underarm of the jacket is made from elastic material which makes the jacket super comfy to wear all day long. 

I love rocking up leather jackets. Here I've paired it with a tartan Penneys (Primark) dress, opaque tights, River Island cut out boots and assorted every finger rings (Topshop, River Island, Penneys, Forever21). A casual look for shopping, cinema or lunch with the girls. 

Hope you're all enjoying your weekend!

My Favorite November Buys

Wow! I cannot believe it's December already! 

I just wanted to do a little post for you guys to show you some of my favourite pieces I bought during the month of November. I am trying to save my money for Christmas so didn't go too mad in the shops but I picked up some really great pieces for great prices. 


 
Penneys (Primark) Boots €22 on sale for €9

I couldnt believe it when I saw these in Penneys, they look like top dolla designer boots! I nearly fell over when I saw the price, €22! An absolute steal for these boots! There was a big red marker through the price and below it read €9!!! Wowza! Plus there was plenty of sizes available. I love the colour of them, they are unlike any shoes I own.
Then I saw them in black.. of course I had to own them too!

 
Penneys (Primark) Boots €22 on sale for €9

River Island Cut Out Boots €60

I had been looking for the perfect pair of black boots for 4months (not joking). I saw these in River Island and fell in love. They come as above, in patent black and in navy. I bought them at the beginning of the month and when I brought them home I realised the sole was torn. A week later I brought them back to exchange them and felt so lucky getting the last pair of size 5s. When I brought them home this time I realised the hinges on the buckles were really loose (see the clasp on the right boot in the above picture is sagging). It obvious the boots are of poor quality but I just love them so much I had to keep them regardless. 

 
Kurt Geiger (House of Fraser) €100

I was still on my quest for the perfect boot when I saw these studded suede babies in House of Fraser. They are just beautiful. I tried them on and was told that they were the the last pair of size 5s available in the store (that sales pitch works wonders on me). There was also a two day 25% off everything event on so I picked them up for €75. Which I think is a fantastic price for these. They are just stunning in real life and so versatile. I get loads of compliments about them when I wear them, even from strangers!

 
Penneys (Primark) Kimono €17

Penneys have loads of great kimonos on sale at the moment in loads of colours, shapes and styles. I picked up this one recently. I love everything about it, the colours, design, shape, feel, it has it all going on! I know I will get a lot of wear out of it. 

 
Penneys (Primark) Velvet Skirt €11

Another great November purchase from Penneys is this burgundy skirt. One of the work girls wore the black version into work one day. It was gorgeous. She kindly picked it up for me in burgundy! Delighted. A skirt like this looks gorgeous with thick black tights and a thin jumper or shirt tucked in. 

 
Urban Outfitters Velvet Shift Dress €89

I already own 2 of these shift dresses from Urban Outfitters. They are so easy to wear and can be dressed up and dressed down to suit any occasion. I love the crochet collar on this one and the print, it reminds me of an old couch cushion we used to have in the 90s when I was growing up! 

 
Zara Mix Floral Shirt €29.99

This shirt is a bit out there. It's hard to see in the picture but the top half is actually ditsy floral print. I have received loads of complements about it which I wasn't expecting! It looks gorgeous with blue jeans or with a vintage oversized demin jacket thrown over it. 


Topshop Socks €5 each €12 for Three

I have piles and piles of these socks. I literally only buy Topshop socks now I'm obsessed. When I saw these I just couldn't resist. 

Cherry Carmex Lip Balm €2.99

When it hits minus degrees outside I suffer from chapped lips and this is my saviour. Plus it smells amazing. Its definitely the most essential beauty product in my makeup bag for winter. 


Most items are still available online and in some stores. 
Hope you all liked what I bought?

90's Tartan Grunge





  
 
 

 

 
 

Dress / Penneys (Primark), Creepers / Korkys (HERE)
Over the Knee Socks / M&S, Watch / Guess 
Velvet Headband / D.I.Y, Handbag / Mulberry (HERE) 
Leather Biker / Topshop

For my latest outfit blog post I've coupled this seasons 90s punk rock grunge and tartan trends together for a fantastic AW 13/14 fashion fusion. 

I'm a massive fan of tartan and check prints so I'm delighted they've returned to our rails this season. This trend can be found at designer fashion houses such as Burberry, Celine and Chanel and on the walls of our beloved high street retailers (Topshop, Penneys and River Island). This is a look that will be super popular this season. 

I spotted this dress while shopping in the Dundrum Town Centre today thoughts of grunge, punk rock and teen angst sprung to mind! The fit is very slimming; the A-line shape just skims the hips and the material feels thick, luxurious and above all comfortable (a mix of mainly cotton and polyester). 

At €17 it had to be snapped up for my collection! It's a very affordable way to follow the fashion trend without breaking the bank!

Those who know me well will tell you that I'd never wear an outfit like this out and about for fear of looking like a Japanese Anime character. So I'm going to pare it back a little for the cold weather by wearing thick black tights and a black wooly beanie. 

Hope you all enjoyed my latest look!

Penneys false nails !


Oh my God I absolutely love these glue on false nails!!!

I complimented my brothers Girlfriend's gorgeous nails at a BBQ at the beginning of summer assuming they were shellac or gel nails that cost a bomb but when she told me they were from Penneys and that they are only €1.50 a pop I nearly fell off my chair. 

I literally went in the next day and picked up a set with bows on them and a set of luminous coral ones. A few weeks after I picked up a blush pink set, a lime set and these moustachioed babies! Recently I've seen burgundy and red studded ones. 

I put the bow set on before my holiday to Portugal in June and I was so impressed that they lasted the full week even though I was in and out of the pool and using loads of oily suncream and exfoliators. Since then I've been hooked!!! But, if your nails are weak unfortunately I'd advise you to stay away from them, the glue makes your nails really soft and brittle. Even people with strong nails should wait a few weeks in between applications to allow your own nails to regain strength. I found the overall quality of these false nails good, the nails don't snap and the colour doesn't fade but some come jagged around the edges however these imperfections can be easily filed off using a nail file. 

With the bargain price, the massive selection, the longevity and the acceptable quality these nails definitely get the "Laura Loves" seal of approval !!! I want a pair in every colour!

Below is a quick tutorial on how to apply the nails. 


 

1. Cut your nails down short
2. Remove all traces of nail varnish from your nails
3. File away any jagged edges 
4. Using a cuticle remover, remove any overgrown cuticles 



 

 

5. From the pack of 24 select out what size false nail fits every finger, I recommend laying them out in order so you don't get mixed up and apply the wrong false nail to the wrong finger!
6. Apply a thin layer of glue onto your first nail and place the false nail down as near to your cuticle as possible (but not on your cuticle) press it down on your nail for about 5 seconds
7. Repeat on all your other nails
8. File the false nails into the shape and length that suits you and Voila gorgeous nails in no time!




I hope you all enjoyed my Penneys false nails review and tutorial,
Thanks for reading,
