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 :)

Purple and Velvet

Hello all,


It was absolutely freezing outside when myself and my very helpful Mum shot this look. I have a week off college this week and I'm really enjoying being home and ignoring all the course work that I have to do. Yesterday though I went into town and  I got a few bits for a very last minute Halloween costume. This was what I wore in an attempt to stay warm.  I hope you like it.
Happy Halloween :)


Coat- H&M, €45

I love this coat so much. The natural room in this more oversized coat makes it really easy to layer which is always handy


Sparkly Hat- Tesco, a present from my sister.

This is so cosy and warm and the grey colour will go with almost anything!




Purple T-shirt- New Look, €8

I really like how big this t-shirt is because it means you can wear it with leggings and still have all the vital areas covered ..did I really just really vital areas?

Necklace- Awear , €5

I bought this necklace years ago in a sale and it has to be one of favourite necklaces, it's so cute!


Cut Out Boots- Penneys/Primark €22


These boots are so comfy to walk in I am so impressed. Today I wore them with dark green socks to have a small bit of colour coming through.


Bag- Penneys/Primark €11

This is such a handy bag for throwing all your bits & bobs into. The nude shade also goes with a majority of outfits- win win :)



Velvet Leggings- E-bay, €12


I am a sucker for velvet so when I saw these bad boys I had to have them.
They are so comfortable & soft and they add just a little extra to a simple outfit.



That's all for now folks

Monochrome & Red

 Hello all, 

For whatever reason I do not know but I have just gone mad for black & white. We've all heard it a thousand times over how 'classic' and 'timeless' it is but to be honest I just like wearing it because it' so easy to throw on and give the illusion that you spent ages deciding what to wear and didn't just pick it up off your bedroom floor ( don't judge me..we all do it). Now I am loving monochrome (especially this blazer) but we gotta splash a biteen of a colour in there too!

I hope you like it !
 


Red Collared Shirt - Penneys, €10 . This is quickly becoming my favourite shirt 


             

Leather Look Disco Pants  - Penneys, €29.99

I wear these way too much , oh well :)


Black & White Blazer - Missguided, €33ish with student discount. Click me

I won't even start trying to explain my love for this blazer because I won't be able to do it without sounding extremely sad



 Necklace - Present from my sisters :)

Not so real Converse- Penneys, €12




Thank you so much for reading,

Harry Potter, Leather & Shorts

Hello all,



So I am a hardcore Harry Potter fanatic and I was lucky enough to visit the Warner Brother's Harry Potter Studio Tour in London a few weeks back thanks to a very generous & sound sister (cheers Emma). There was a gift shop at the end of the tour filled with amazing Harry Potter goodness that was sadly extremely overpriced , but I nabbed myself a Deathly Hallows T-Shirt because I'm just that cool. Here's an outfit featuring it , I hope you like it :)

Leather Jacket - TK MAXX, €28

Hoodie- Men's Section in Penneys, €10




Bag- Present from Italy from my super sound Mammy & Daddy
Love throwing it on with a darker coloured outfit to brighten it up a biteen.


Necklace - Accesorize, €10(ish) with student discount




My Penney's version of converse - €12




Belt - €2, Penneys
Shorts- €16, E-bay



Deathly Hallows T-shirt - €22, Warner Brother's Studio




It's frightening how much I love this t-shirt, I don't think it's right for a person to feel this way about a piece of clothing but we're talking about Harry Potter here so all is OK :)

Thanks for reading!

Cowboys, Tights & Suits

Hello all,


This is an outfit I wore into college last week. I love this cardigan it's like wearing a fluffy blanket (this makes me very happy since I'm always frozen). I bought it in New Look when I was in London a few weeks back  but then I came home to find Penney's had released a cheaper version ...don't you just hate when that happens? Not to worry though cause I've convinced myself this one is softer :)
I hope you like it,

Cardigan - New Look, €20 (ish)


 My nicknamed 'Cowboy Boots' Bought in Republic - €45 ( worth every penny)
Oh and Penneys have also come out with a version of these too if anybody is interested! Yeehaw!!



Playsuit - thats a weird word isn't it, anyway bought in River Island €30


 Showing details of the Playsuit




Tights - Multipack from Penneys €4

Burgundy, Black & Red

Hello all,


You know when you see something in Penneys you love but then you look at the price tag and think 'Ah that's too expensive for Penney's..sure maybe it'll go on sale & I'll get it then' ? Well that my friends is exactly what happened to me with this dress. The Sale Gods must of been with me that day when I wandered in and found it reduced from €17 to €7 , and there was only one left in my size..it was just meant to be :) I wore this outfit out last Saturday night, I hope you like it.

 Dress - €7, Penneys  Love the shape, colour & pattern of this dress.



 Necklace - €6, Penneys



Bag- €11, Penneys ( bit of a trend going on here..)


Heart studded -belt - €2, yep you guessed it Penneys! This isn't actually a waist belt but I just popped a hole in it with my scissors so I could wear it as one


Heels - €36ish with student discount, Missguided available here


The whole look :

Crimson, Pleats & Boots

Hello all,



It's slightly worrying how overjoyed with happiness I am now that it's Autumn, but the Autumn colours just seem to suit us gingers ( at long last we have a bit of luck). This outfit features my favourite infinity/snood scarf that I bought last year. I'm warning you now that it will feature in a lot of looks for the upcoming months ( sorry) but sure anyway let's get going...



 Grey Jumper - Penneys/ Primark , I bought this last year, I think it was around €7-9


A Christmas present from my brother Mark :) Penneys - €20(ish)


Scarf- New look, €12




Skirt- H&M, €14.99 also featured in an outfit post here


Ring -borrowed from my sister
