Sunglasses & Daffodils

Hello all!

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!

Down by the Thames

Hello all!

This outfit was what I wore on my second day in London last weekend. Unfortunately we had no cool rooftop this time but a few photos by one of the most famous rivers in the world isn't too bad now is it ? This outfit has a crazy amount going on but I kind of like that. The colours are all pretty neutral so I think you can get away with it (well, hopefully). This was also my first time taking photos in front of people & it was really nerve wracking but hopefully in time that will get a bit easier. Anyway enough blathering, I hope you like it :)

Coat - Penneys, €15

Blazer - Missguided, €35

T-shirt - New Look, €15

Trousers - Stradivarius , €15

Thank you for reading my blog,

London Rooftop

Hello all!

As some of you may know I visited London at the weekend, and as always London didn't disappoint! I just love the atmosphere & energy over there, it's a big, big difference to my hometown of Ballina. Anyway as usual some outfit posts needed to be taken since I haven't had one on my blog at all in 2014! These photos were taken on the roof of my sister's new place, I think they are some of my favourites I've ever had on Crimson Threads! A big thank you to my sister Emma for taking these, not only was the location's safety questionable but it was also freezing, so thanks sis :)

I've been shopping..

Hello all!!

Wha-what is this? Am I actually blogging ?? Thanks to a rather cruel decision on behalf of my college, 2014 has so far consisted of far too many bad hair days, cramming & lots of procrastinating for my so called Christmas exams that began AFTER Christmas..it baffles me why they do that to us poor, poor souls. Anyway as I was obviously tormented by these cruel exams I needed to cheer myself up in the form of shopping, here's what I got :)
Hope you like them!!

 Floral Kimono- Missguided

I flippin' love kimonos & the fact that they're everywhere now at affordable prices makes me even happier! I have a few kimono style pieces but they are all rather dark so that's why I went for this pink floral number! A perfect piece to throw over anything really!
This one is from Missguided- €16 , I got my 10% student discount using Unidays and it was already reduced too!

Click here to buy me!

Pale Pink Sparkly Dress- Boohoo

I love the shoulder cut outs in this dress. It adds something special to a rather normal skater dress! The material of this dress is also just gorgeous, throughout it there are bits of silver that sparkle when the light hits it! I actually think I have my New Years Eve 2014 outfit sorted already..too soon??

Another Floral Kimono- Boohoo

Ok so I said above, I really like kimonos. As soon as I saw this one I knew I had to have it. It's quite a dramatic kimono but the colours are quite neutral so I think it makes it all a bit more wearable! I can't wait to wear this in Summer too over a lace dress perhaps!

From Boohoo, €28ish with student discount!
Unfortunately however It's now sold out! Sad face!

Boyfriend Style Coat- Penneys

Don't you love nabbing a good bargain, even in Penneys. It's just so satisfying! I had my eye on this coat for a while so when I saw it on sale for €15 I pretty much grabbed it. I love the whole 'boyfriend' style coat as it means you can layer really easily thanks to the natural room in the shape! I also love the checkered pattern of it too, and of course it's in a black - the colour I'm favouring the most lately!

The Black Bag- H&M

Now this bag was a big treat to me, as I normally never buy bags apart from in Penneys. However I was thinking maybe I should get one 'good' black bag, slowly start my journey on becoming a young woman when low and behold I was walking down Henry Street when the bag that was on my shoulder completely flippin' broke. The strap just snapped! Therefore I took it as a sign from God and bought this number in H&M for €39.99 . Definitely one of the most expensive things I have bought but it's sooo pretty!

The Floral Pants- Stradivarius 

I always wear the same black jeans so I am trying to spice things up a bit with what I put on my legs! These were on sale for €15 in Stradivarius and I absolutely love them. The shape & cut make them so comfortable, almost like tracksuit bottoms but the gorgeous floral pattern make it look like you actually put in an effort- a win win :) 

Silver Brogues - Penneys

Ok so these are a bit strange & I totally accept that. Maybe it's the inner magpie in me that loves anything shiny but I have a lot of feels for these brogues. Not to everyones taste but if you fancy a quirky way to change up your outfit why not give these a try? Available in Penneys now for €13

 

I hope you enjoyed this post, these are some of my favourite types to read :) I am so happy to be finished my exams as now I have three whole weeks off! I plan to catch up on a lot of posts over the next few weeks so I hope you enjoy them !!

Thanks for reading!

Velvet and Black

Hello all,

I've been getting into the festive spirit these days and I am loving velvet !I nabbed this skirt for €11 in Penneys and it is the exact same as one in Topshop for €38 , bargain! It was a biteen chilly when I wore this outfit so I teamed the skirt with my black studded jumper tucked in. I have worn everything in this outfit apart from the skirt in previous outfit posts (especially the flippin' shoes) but that is the exact point of my blog. Nobody can afford new clothes all the time (recession anyone?), it's just all about styling them in different ways to create different looks! I hope you like it :)

Jumper: €21.75, Forever 21

Collared Top : €18.75

Torc necklace: €6

Skirt: €11, Belt: €2.50, Tights: pack of 5, All Penneys

Shoes: €29.99, H&M

Thanks for reading!!!
