Vintage shades.

Hola,

So it's been a few days since I posted anything...I just wasn't feeling it lately.  I think there's a good few people who are feeling the same within the community at the moment.  Between negativity and boring, repetitive posts from everyone, it's been lacking some serious creativity as of late- myself included!
So with this in mind I decided to get back to what I started with -vintage pieces! I've always been a lover of charity shops and finding bargains anywhere that I can. Big labels aren't really the goal for me but on occasion I find some gems from old school favourites.

This brown velvet shirt is a kind of piece I've been searching for a long time. A couple of years ago I seen a green one that was dirt cheap but I wasn't quick enough and it was snapped up by some other eagle eyed shopper! So this one filled the void I guess..

This day we decided that the villa was that good we didn't need to go out so we just chilled by the pool for the day. We were lucky enough to have a pool and a jacuzzi on the roof, which made for the perfect place for photographs. Looking over all these photos and editing makes me wish I was back here...still, if anyone is thinking of going away with a big group, I would urge you to stay in a villa! So much fun and a decent price when split between everyone! 

Are you heading abroad this summer?

Working It Out.

Aloha,

Sports Luxe is would seem- a trend thats really hit the fashion world in reason times, well as much as I do love a good pair of Nike workout leggings or the latest Adidas Stan Smith trainers (which will be mine) at the moment the only sports luxe I have going on is my workout gear.

Considering they're clothes that I'll be sweating in and all things ew, I feel there is no real need to go all out, buying more expensive workout clothes from the likes of Nike or Victoria's Secret and the likes. As much as I do love their workout collections my budget just doesn't agree, I'm afraid.

So what better place to go when looking for value for money clothes but Pennys/Primark, eh?! Apart from the trainers(obvs) everything here is Primark. I think a good pair of trainers is needed when doing exercise, so they are justified and Nike ones are always super comfortable.

What's your staple brand for workout clothes?

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?

Hola,

So the triumphant vintage blazer makes a come back...I can't remember the last time I wore this coat to be honest, let only the last time it was featured  on the blog. One things for sure I've never worn it on such a nice day!  Before you ask, yes these photos were taken on the same day as one of my last posts and yes I am talking about the weather again...I think at this stage it's obvious most people, particularly Irish people have a habit of talking about the weather constantly! Sure look..

 Anyway this was taken a good few weeks ago now and it's safe to say things have changed drastically on the weather front. As I wright this, I am sitting in my room with a mountain of books and study to do while the rain pours down my window as though it had never rained before. Praying for even a bit of that summer glow to come back!

As for the outfit it's self it's pretty much just a quick and simple way to jazz up day wear. Add a pair of heels, maybe throw in a clutch and a good structured jacket and you're good to go! 

What's your favorite way to jazz up an outfit?

The sun has arrived, hooray! Now if it would just stay here that would be great! However it unfortunately didn't , believe or not it was legit snowing a couple of days after this. I have no idea what the Irish weather is doing but it would want to sort itself out. 

Anyway, I was heading into town this day so the outfit is pretty chill. The skirt was an absolute bargain that I picked up last summer, the shirt is yearrrss old and the shoes are last season Topshop. Who would have thought navy and black would work so well together? For once, I went for a bold red lip which I don't tend to wear because my teeth aren't the nicest but hey'ho. 

What's your favourite lipstick colour? 

Graffic.

Trips in to town are always necessary once in a while. This outfit is from a few weeks ago, just when the weather was starting to get chillier. Hence, the big coat. I don't know about you, but I love,love,love Autumn weather. The leaves, and the sun and mist make the perfect backdrop!
The backround here however, was taken at a great little spot with loads of amazing grafeti around. Something I've always noticed about Dublin city is the level of amazing grafeti!
