Floral & Pink

Hello all,


This is the outfit I wore last Saturday to the Into The West Blogger Event. I got lots of messages asking where each item was from so hopefully this post will be helpful to some of you :) My favorite part of this outfit are the trousers, mainly because they are the most comfortable trousers I own. They're like pyjama bottoms, and who doesn't like wearing pyjama bottoms. I also got quite a good discount on them, as they were originally €35 but I got them for €27 with double student discount on Thursdays in Only. So fellow students remember that one. Hope you like it :)
















Shirt - Stradivarius, €19.95
Trousers- ONLY, €27
Belt- Penneys, €2
Hat- New Look, €15
Necklace- H&M , €12.95
Bag- Penneys, €11
Heels- Penneys, €15
Thanks for reading,
'Til next time

Into The West Blogger Network- The First Meetup

Hello all,



So as some of you may know I attended my very first blogger event this weekend in the beautiful g Hotel. The event was the first official meeting of a new network of bloggers called the Into the West Blogger Network. This weekend's event was orgainsed by the lovely Sinéad from Yummy Mummy Fashion and Lifestyle. A big thank you to Sinéad for getting us altogether for our little Afternoon Tea (how posh), I was so happy to be a part of the meetup and it was amazing to meet so many fellow bloggers from the West :)



The day kicked off in one of the gorgeous lounges in the g Hotel. Seriously if you've never been you NEED to get yourself into see that hotel. It is amazing! We were then treated to some complimentary Prosecco while we waited for our Afternoon Tea, which I'm telling you did not disappoint at all. So many nice things to eat, I literally stuffed my face, and I have no shame. I was sitting across from the lovely Orla from Beyond The Fashion, who lucky for me doesn't like cake so it's safe to say I ate two people's worth of food. It was a good day for me ;)





Sinéad then presented us all with some goodie bags courtesy of Cara Pharmacy and Publicity Loft. Holy Mother of God I was not prepared for what was filling these bags. We were seriously spoiled with products from La Roche Posay, Avéne, Theirry Mulgar, Vichy, Benefit, Wet'n'Wild, Ren and yes, even more. I was like a child at Christmas! We will be smelling and looking our best thanks to the lovely sponsers of the goodie bags :)



Some photos from the day :







Overall, the day was a huge success and exceeded all of my expectations. I have to admit on the journey down to Galway ,I was absolutely terrified. I was so anxious of the fact that I am only 19, so kind of the 'baby' of the group and combine that to still being relatively new to this blogging world and you have one nervous lady. But to my relief, I of course, need not of worried. Everybody was just a pleasure to meet, the atmosphere was lovely and relaxed and plenty of laughs were had. It was so interesting getting to know the people behind the blogs, some of which I have been following for as long as I can remember!I will link all the blogs at the end of this post so you can all go and check them out :) I will also be posting an Outfit Post on what I wore this week so keep your eyes open for that too ! Also thank you to Danielle from Sweet Memories Photography for the photos!


so sorry if I left someone out, if I did, please let me know :)

More Daffodils..

Hello All!


So you may have gathered from my recent few posts that I am loving all the Daffodils that have sprung up everywhere. Call me a hippie or a flower-child but seeing them just makes me happy ! They remind me that Easter is well on the way (thank GOD because I am seriously craving a packet of Tayto, lent was so much easier as a young one). Speaking of Easter I'm hoping to do some pretty pastel/Easter themed outfits for Crimson Threads over the next few weeks so keep your eyes peeled for that :) But, on to today's agenda, this outfit is super duper cheap with the dearest thing being €20 :) I hope you like this outfit (and the Daffodils).

Skirt: Pull & Bear, €19.99
Floral Headband : New Look, €12
Sunglasses: Stall in London, £5

Leather & Feathers

Hello all,


I always find it kind of funny taking these more 'dressy' Outfit Posts around the house, growing up I definitely never thought I'd be trekking through the yard & dodging the animal droppings in my heels but that's the oh so glamorous life of living on a farm :) I wore this outfit on a college night out a few weeks back so I thought we'd take a few photos of it (It was also the only clean outfit that was available to me). Hope you enjoy it :)

Skirt: New Look, €20
Blazer: Missguided, €36

Sunglasses & Daffodils

Hello all!


Well it's been a while since that burning fire ball peaked out so as soon as I saw it had graced us with it's presence I knew it was time for an Outfit Post. We luckily live in an absolutely beautiful area, surrounded by green fields (thank you parents for choosing to live here) , and it looks even nicer in the sun :) You might spot our cows in the background of some photos, oh the agricultural life ! You will also , most definitely spot lots & lots of daffodils. Those things are everywhere. I also purposely sat beside them. Anyway, myself & my sister Bernie had great craic shooting this today so I hope you enjoy :)

February Wants

Hello all,



So as a natural shopaholic I will never be satisfied with the contents of my wardrobe. I always have a browse through some websites whenever I have a spare few minutes...or hours. Lately I've been leaning towards the pastel pinks & creams that are available. No idea why this happening, I would look ridiculous wearing any of them since the weather around here has a tendency to switch from hurricane winds to snow in a matter of minutes. Not to mention my ghostly complexion would certainly lead to the illusion that I am wearing no clothes, but enough of that- here are my February Wants :)


Collared Dress - €38, iclothing
 Buy me here!
I love a nice collared dress, or collared anything for that matter. Even better if they have longer sleeves as my upper arms are something I am not 100% comfortable with. Throw in a gorgeous pale pink shade and this dress is a dream come true. Better yet, it's from the Irish website Iclothing :)



 Cork Wedges - €39.99 , New Look
Buy me here!

These shoes just scream Summer to me. The 'cork' look heels seem to be everywhere at the moment and I am loving the look they give. The cream colour will go with just about anything too! Winner winner chicken dinner !


Floral Playsuit - €42, Missguided
Buy me here
I love the colours of this playsuit, along with the lace trimming it just gives it a lovely girly look. Definitely on the shorter side though but as it is not 'skin tight' I think you can get away with it. It would look so gorgeous with the cork wedges from New Look too :)



Floral Crown - €7, E-bay
Buy me here
I love floral crowns, they're not to everybody's taste but each to their own. I currently own one floral crown and it's black so a nice pink one like this one available from E-bay would be a great little addition to my wardrobe :)




Cigarette Trousers - €31. Missguided
Buy me here
These pants are just perfect in my opinion. I love anything high waisted and the shape and cut of these trousers just seem so flattering to all shapes and sizes! And of course they're that gorgeous pink colour again :)



That's all for now folks,
Thanks for reading

Floral & Silver

Hello all!


It has been awhileen since I last did an outfit post. This is mainly due to a hectic few weeks , but thankfully the craziness is over and I can hopefully start getting back into the swing of things! Considering it is in fact Spring (you certainly wouldn't think it, what with our 4 seasons in one day thing going on) I have had a complete lack of co-operation with Mother Nature the past few weekends. Thankfully though the sun came out long enough for an outfit post before the sky once more released a flurry of hailstones! The dress I am wearing in this post is one of my absolute favourites, what makes it even sweeter is that I only paid £5 for it! I know, that's feckin cheaper than Penneys! Anyway, enough rambling! I hope you enjoy !














Dress - £5, Peckham
Leather Jacket - €49.99, Pull & Bear
Hat- €12, Missguided
Necklace- €5, Penneys
Shoes- €13, Penneys
Bag- €11, Penneys 

As always thank you for reading!
'Til next time,

Hannah Xx
