New Additions

Hello all,


This week myself and a few of my college friends went into Dublin for a spot of shopping. I say shopping but what it really consisted of was us standing in awe in the Disney shop and drinking hot chocolate. There was also a trip to Dublin Ink where three of us got piercings as you do, mine was extremely spur of the moment ( thank you Vanessa for my education on the human ear)but no harm. I had never seen the Christmas lights in the big Smoke ( what a cluchie) so I definitely went home in a very Christmassy mood. Ironically most of things I bought that day were black..oops!
Here are some of the recent things that have sneaked into my wardrobe :)


1) Green Velvet Top - €5, Penneys




I love velvet and I love this shade of green so when I saw this top reduced from €13 to just €5 I had to have it. It is slightly longer than the average crop top which I also love as I don't really think the normal crop top suits me. I can't wait to wear it with high waisted jeans!


2) Pleather Joggers- Primark, €13



These are a bit odd & I don't know why I love them but I just do. I have gone mad for anything pleather-esque (which you will see in a bit)lately and these were no exception. I live in skinny jeans so it's nice to wear something with a different shape to them. 


3) Pack of 5 Glitter Socks- Penneys, €3.50



I love glitter and I love socks so I most definitely love glitter socks. I like to wear these 'fancier' socks - meaning not my odd ones that my family and housemates always see, for wearing with ankles boots or my converse. I think it's nice to just have them peeking up from your shoes :) 


 4) Pleather Pencil Skirt - New Look, €16.99



I love the shape of this skirt and although it isn't the most flattering of materials, especially when skin tight I somehow don't really mind ( I probably should but whatevs). I have been on the hunt for a skirt like this for too long and I was so happy to find it in New Look. I can see it becoming a staple for college nights out.


5) Pleather Skater Skirt- Boohoo, €15



Yes pleather again, I'm sorry. I mentioned I was looking for a pleather skater skirt in my latest wishlist post and thankfully Boohoo saved the day. This skirt has a lovely shape to it and I like the way it sort of ...well sticks out ! A handy thing to throw on and make it look like you put in an effort!


6) Floral Peplum Skirt- €20, second hand



I love this skirt so much. I am so late on the whole peplum thing but better late than never as they say. I bought this second hand from fellow Irish fashion blogger Retro Flame. It is originally Zara but I got it for just €20 which is amazing for a Zara piece. I can't wait to wear it :)


That's all for now folks, I hope you saw something you like and have better self control than me :)
Til next time,
Hannah

You can achieve Kendall Jenner's look

Hello all,



I'll be the first to admit that mindless reality TV is my guilty pleasure, and Keeping up with the Kardashians is definitely my numero uno( please don't judge me). We all Know of Kim K and her crazy family but it's her younger sister Kendall Jenner that interests me most. Maybe it's because she's closest to me in age or maybe it's her amazingly shiny hair , who knows? Anyway she has that effortless style down to a tee and today I hope to help you achieve her laid back model look, but of course at a fraction of the price :)




Boots- €24, Penneys 
Black boots are a staple for Autumn/Winter and have the magical power of just going with everything. Wear yours with thick 'boot socks' or lace trimmed socks for a cosier look.


 


Tank top- €12.75, Forever 21. A white tank is a great basic to have in your wardrobe. They're simple, and great for layering under thicker fabrics especially now Autumn is upon us.




 Wet look leggings - €16, Boohoo. Any wet / leather look leggings are a great and easy way to spice up an everyday look. Wear them like Kendall with a tank top, or opt for an over sized jumper to prevent hypothermia in this bi-polar weather.

Neon necklace- €2.32, www.etsy.com 
Neon isn't just for the summer months. Wear it like Miss Jenner to add a pop of a colour to an otherwise monochrome outfit for an effortless put together look.

I hope this helped you in some little way. The 'steal her style' sections of magazines are always my favourite to read  and I hope to put together more celebrity inspired looks for you all ...that is of course if you like them!!
That's all for now m'dears,
