The Bomb.

Helloooo,

So naturally I've found myself addicted to wearing my new Boohoo bomber. You can mix it with anything and it comes pretty well, and it definitely adds something to any outfit, an edgy vibe or a pop of colour. My mission of incorporating more colour into my wardrobe is still underway. Pretty much with any money I have to spend on clothes I spend it on as much colour as possible!
With the colder weather coming in and the winter pieces in full swing in the shops, they are filled with deep, rich colours so at the moment I've been eyeing up mostly pastel colours as that's all that there seems to be in the shops. That said, before you know it we'll have spring upon us once again sure so maybe I'm better off embracing it , right?

Black and White ft Cara Delevinge

The end of an era for sure. Graduation day is definitely a time that you think is in the far future but of course like everything, it's upon you before you know it. No longer will I have to sit through various classes, see the same people everyday, go through the routine of early mornings and so on. Obviously college life still involves deadlines, lecturers etc but it will be a huge change to say the least!

I opted for a simple enough dress with chunky black heels for this night time attire. Bit of a dodgy colour to wear on a night out but sure look...
Jewellery was kept minimal as I decided to keep it as a fresher,cleaner look with small details. This tux dress from Missguided was the perfect piece that wasn't too revealing but still kept it appropriate for a night out.
 It was a bit of an inspired outfit from the forever gorgeous Cara Delevinge. Known for favouring more boyish silhouettes, It's no surprise this type of dress is becoming more popular. Helping us flatter chested ladies out a little more, eh?

I thought this fab Missguided piece made for a great 'celebrity inspired look' to this blue tux jacket Cara wore to London Fashion week from Emilio Pucci's fall 2014 collection. Of course they are by no means identical, hence why I say 'inspired' but it's no harm to look to celebrities for ideas every once in a while!

Who is your go-to celeb for outfit inspiration?

In a complete different style to my more recent posts, here I have THE most comfortable heels in existence. I was originally planning to go completely bear with my feet and wear them "normally" but it was just so cold I couldn't face taking even these thin socks off! The trousers and top are both Topshop which I think work quite well together. The mix in textures with the roughness of the top and the silky feel of the trousers, they make for an interesting combo.

In an attempt to work with what I have and improve the quality of my photos, I think this worked out pretty well, if I do say so myself! It's an ongoing process that will take time but I'll eventually get there! It's one of my goals for 2015 to have better quality photo's as well as improve the overall standard around here. With such a saturated market it's getting harder and harder for new bloggers to get going. At the same time, I think it's important not to compare. Easier said than done but it's something I think a lot of people fall victim to. Everyone's blog has a different audience, style, genre, opinions! So my aim is to use what I have and make it work!

How are your goals for 2015 holding up so far?

Camel.

I had planned on an all black outfit post and in a sense that's what this is but with the weather being -50 gizillion degrees cold I had to opt for my trusty winter coat to pair with it. I picked this beauty up in a Charity shop in Dublin and it works wonders for those bitterly cold days! Under the coat I'm wearing a super comfy black polo, black skinnies and my favourite pair of  pointy shoes! More out posts are on the way!

P.S Merry Christmas!

Riverside.

So in an attempt to get more creative with my photos, I visited a much more scenic - minus the vile green, filthy water- canal in my local area. We got there in good time, as there was very few people around and the weather wasn't being completely delusional with the season.
This was just an outfit I wore to a party recently and when I was going out for lunch. The jacket is something really unique. It's from a Wallis sale about 20 years ago! Obviously, I wasn't around 20 years ago, so I robbed it from my Mam. I love the half pink, half white style! It's a big staple piece in my wardrobe at the moment!
In other news, myself and Zara will (hopefully) meet Pixiwoo on their tour when they visit Dublin  on Friday! Follow my Instagram and Twitter for updates!

Liebster Award.

I got nominated for the Liebster Award again, and thought I'd better answer the questions this time!

Be sure to follow the lovely ladies who nominated me! Here we go!

 The rules are:
- You must answer all of the questions that have been given to you by the person who nominated you.
- You must link back to the person who nominated you.
- After completing the questions you must nominate 11 bloggers (under 200 followers) and give them 11 questions of your choice.
- You must let your nominees know that they have been nominated and provide a link to your post so they can learn more about it.

My nomination is from Zara , who is a good friend of mine so make sure to check her beauty blog out! 

Now on to  the questions:

1.)What's your favourite thing about blogging? 
I would say just generally getting to chat to people with similar interests. As cliché as it sounds, it's kind of true. I find it interesting to see what other people personal style or even there view on things from products to controversial topics. Of coarse, I'm sure blogger events are fab too but sadly I haven't had the privilege of attending one! 

2.)You can only blog about one thing - what do you choose? 
Fashion. An obvious choice but even reading other blogs-I enjoy fashion ones the most. Writing reviews of beauty products I find can tend to be a bit tedious- but that's just me.

3.)Bags or shoes?  
100% shoes! I'm sure you can see from my last post- shoes are my weakness. No matter what season, no matter what weather or trend-anything, I will always have multiple shoes on my wishlist! 

4.)Who is your favourite Youtuber? 
Makeup/beauty wise-I would say Lauren Curtis. She's one of the only youtubers I don't find annoying or that does the same generic stuff as everyone else time and time again. Fashion- idressmyselt or Jenn from clothesencounters! 

5.)If you could only use one make-up brand for the rest of your life, what brand would it be? Good question, I have no idea! I'm pretty lazy with makeup to be honest so I'll say any drugstore brand or urban decay.

6.)One Direction - yay or nay? 
C'mon?! How can you say nay to those faces?! 

7.)Who's your celebrity crush? 
Here we go ok, Zac Efron, James Franco, Dave Franco, Johnny Depp, Tyler Blackburn, Julian Morris,Bradley Cooper, Leonardo di Caprio, Beau Mirchoff, Orlando Bloom, Justin Timberlake..I could go on...

8.)Do you find it difficult to juggle blogging with all of your other commitments?
Pfft good one! Apart from school and such I wouldn't say it's that difficult at least not compared to others,as I mentioned before I'm pretty lazy!

9.)Would you like to blog as a full-time job? 
I don't think I would. I think to keep it exciting it should still be a hobby kind of thing. I would like a job alongside it maybe but overall I don't think I would.

10.)What's your favourite Disney film? Easy- Jungle Book.

11.)What's your favourite TV show?
 I'd say I have more than one. Pretty Little Liars, OITNB, Awkward, Criminal Minds, Big Bang Theory. Although I would say that PLL and Awkward have started to move down my list a little these days! 

Here are my questions:

1.) Who's your absolute favourite blogger?

2.) If you could only have one type of food/dish-what would it be?

3.)Favourite Country you have visited?

4.) What do you hate most about blogging?

5.) What's your number one pet peeve?

6.) Book or Magazine? 

7.) What's your favourite TV show? 

8.) When did you start blogging?

9.) Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

10.) What do you miss most?

11.) All time favourite brand?

Overdue.

Long time no see, ay?! The sunshine and the holidays in general have made me hibernate a bit from blogging, but you can always catch me on my twitter! I had taken these photos a good few weeks ago now on a day that had way too much hormonal weather, hence the lighting and overall dullness in the photo but how never we'll just have to work through it now over the coming months!

Current Drugstore Faves.

Decided to do a bit of a beauty post today. Summer holidays have just began so hopefully, I will be able to post a lot more from now on. 

Catrice:
This is a brand that doesn't seem to get much attention, but in my opinion is pretty comparable to  it's more expensive counterparts. Others have compared this concealer to being as good as Mac. It covers and hides blemishes really well and blends into the skin naturally while the powder sets any concealer without making it cake your darker.

Kiko:
I spotted this brand while away on a trip in Italy.everything was reasonable priced and looked amazing. However I wasn't able to buy everything so I limited myself to a few items, two of which are the 30 day treatment Mascara and the Kiss balm in Blackberry. Generally I wouldn't be too keen on balms or lipgloss or anything like that, I usually prefer a lipstick or nude lip.However, this 
smelled devine! And actually adds a decent amount of colour 
particularly for a balm! The mascara does what any mascara is supposed to do. However I would say it lengthens the lashes more then anything.

Maybelline:
This is a great dupe to Mac's paint pots. The consistency is the same and it goes on like a dream. This is in the shade 'on and on bronze' . Personally I think this works great with blue/green eyes!

Italia.

The final place, and the place I stayed in longest was Italy! I went to Venice, Verona, Gardaland,
Lake Garda and our hotel was in Sirmione. Just a heads up that this post will be pretty picture heavy!

Lake Garda view from half way up Monte Baldo

Generally, I wouldn't say that I'm a roller coaster person, but Gardaland definitely had a lot to offer to everyone of all levels and the atmosphere throughout the place is amazing! 

Sermione 

I would defiantly go back to Sirmione. It's so pretty and there is so many cute shops and amazing Gelato to try.

Venice 

Although I loved Venice, I don't think it is somewhere I would stay for more than 3/4 days. I knew it was a very popular tourist place to go but I didn't think it would have been to that extent! However it was beautiful to look at! 

Julie's house Verona 

Not having a full day to visit Verona was the only thing I didn't enjoy about the trip. Our flight was the same day so we were only there for a few hours. We visited Juliets house based on Shakespeare's Romeo& Juliet. It was also one of like 3 walls that was covered in signatures along with another wall with locks on it. The post box was used to send letters to 'Juliet' !
