Monochrome With A Twist

I originally styled this outfit totally monochrome with a white sleeveless shirt underneath my black sleeveless blazer, my blue/black jeans and a black handbag! 

When I looked in the mirror I thought how cute would it be to do a twist on the traditional black and white monochrome, so I grabbed my lilac cami and fluffy bag:

 
Sleeveless Blazer / Forever21 , Cami / River Island , Jeans / Topshop , Fluffy Bag / River Island,  Pool Sliders / River Island 
 
 
 
Pool Sliders / River Island , Watch / Michael Kors , Pineapple Necklace / Charming Charlie , Midi Ring / River Island , Fluffy Handbag Below / River Island
 
Hope you liked my latest look,
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Shoe Unboxing With River Island Part 2

 
 
 
 

I'm madly in love with my new summer sandals from River Island!

I suffer from weak knees and find it very painful to stay in heels for long periods of time! But the front platform, the chunky heel and the cushioned sole make these shoes incredibly comfy! So comfy in fact that I can wear them all day and all night long pain free and without moaning! 

They look fab for summer BBQs or nights out on the town with pretty sun dresses and tan leather accessories to match (a belt or a clutch bag). 

I know that these will be my go to shoe for summer nights! Plus they come in loads of different colours including metallic gold, pastel pink and white! Oooo tempting!

Have a great week!

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!

Hi guys hope you all had a great Christmas and a very Happy New Year! Sorry I have been MIA recently. It has been such a hectic two weeks! But don't worry I have plenty of great new ideas to put on my blog for 2014!

This weekend myself and the boyfriend decided to have a little one night escape to Castleknock Hotel. It's a four star hotel which we found a great deal for on Trivago.com. We arrived down and headed straight to the leisure centre where we relaxed in the jacuzzi, steam room and sauna (HEAVEN), we had dinner that night and a few drinks in the hotel. It was such a nice relax after the absolute mayhem and overindulgence of Christmas! 

This is an outfit I wore the day of departure. I got this dress from ASOS , it actually comes up quite big fitting and I could have sized down but it's perfect with a belt. It's such a soft rich jersey material which I was afraid would shrink in the wash but it hasn't lost it's shape at all yet. I love the cross over back detail on the dress. I think backless dresses (casual & dressy) are so flattering and can be quite sexy if worn tastefully. 

The dark floral print is super on trend this winter. I love how all the colours go so well together. This is outfit can take you from shopping, to cinema, to casual drinks and dinner. It's super comfy and super flattering for any shape and size! 


Hope you all like this look,
(Sorry about the iPad camera photo quality)

River Island Jewellery !!!


I love River Island jewellery. They are so affordable and are always so on trend. The selection is so vast you can find something for every outfit. Plus the quality is amazing they last for ages and wear really well! 

I'm so obsessed that my boyfriend literally has to remove me from the jewellery section before I buy every piece in there! As soon as I see them shining at me I'm attracted like a moth to a light, there's just no stopping me! 

Here's a few bits I picked up during the week when I was supposed to be Christmas present shopping!!! 
All for under €20 in total! Bargain!

 
Midi Ring Set / €4 / River Island (Get Them Here)

 
Gold Branch Midi Ring / €2 / River Island (Get It Here)

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?

On Sunday my boyfriend and I visited Malahide castle and gardens in Malahide (North Dublin, Ireland). I absolutely love it there it's so beautiful and picturesque from the castle to the graveyard to the gardens! We had a deeelish brunch in Avoca cafĂ© followed by takeaway coffees and a walk around the grounds. 

The details to my outfit are above, although, I definitely need to swap my leather jacket for my winter coat, it's freezing out!

Lots of Love,
