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 :)

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!

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 :)

Blazer - Missguided, €35

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!
