Birthday Fun.

Food, food and more food. If you had of told me that I would have eaten as much as I have this weekend a few days ago, I wouldn't have thought it was possible. Cakes, chocolate, jellys and countless unhealthy chicken wings...the list goes on but if you're not going to let yourself go on your birthday when are you? Right? Well that's my justification for it anyway...
Aside from food I was lucky enough to be pretty spoiled this time round, usually I wouldn't be one to celebrate my birthday that much. I just never bother doing anything and another year passes. However this year I pretty much had no choice thanks to my family and friends who made participation in my birthday celebrations compulsory!

A new perfume has been on my list lately, this one from Zara was a great alternative coming in at around €15. If I was to describe the scent I would say it's quite spicy, slightly citrus-y with a hint of floral but very little. I'm generally not someone who likes really sweet or overpoweringly floral scents so this one suited me pretty well.
The latest edition of Vogue and some Percy Pigs were also very necessary because when are they not?
Ps, excuse he dodgy quality of the photos, promise better ones are to come!

How do you celebrate your birthday?

Clashin'

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? 

Carnival.

Sunday lunch dates are the best thing since sliced bread in my opinion. There's nothing I love more than meeting up with a friend, chilling around town and grabbing a bite to eat while having a chin wag! These photos were taken around a fair/carnival kind of place. It looked so pretty! I wish my camera skills and quality could have done it justice! 

With the festive season well and truly over, you can bet that summer will be here on top of us before you know it. However for the moment the winter breeze along with heavy coats doesn't seem to be going anywhere. I would have obviously liked to get better pictures of this outfit with details and up close shots, but a girl's got her limits! With the winter chill still lingering about, I honestly couldn't face taking my coat off-not even for a minute! Having said that I heard it was snowing today in New York..now that's the kind of cold I like, as long as there's a day off school, right?!

Dior.

I've got to admit I'm not usually one for spending a large amount of money on a single item, particularly with makeup. As far as money goes, I try to get the most out of what I have. Extravagant pieces, whether it be fashion or makeup related, are never usually on my radar, with the exception of this fabulous Dior Lipstick. Beauty related posts are also something that I wouldn't be into that much, as I've mentioned before. However, on the rare occasion that I do find a makeup item that I adore, sometimes they're just too good not to rave about!

This fabulous product has gorgeous deep blue and black packaging with the Christian Dior initials at the top. Let's be honest, the packaging is probably the real reason why I went for this lipstick. As for as the consistency of this product goes, it's not unlike Mac. Having said that, red lipstick and I, don't always see eye to eye. I'm pretty picky with them. Considering I don't have nice teeth anyway and the fact that they're not sparkling white makes me a little weary to wear any pinky, orange, red toned lipstick as it just makes my teeth look worse. So if I do buy a red lipstick, I always look out for blue toned red lippies. This way you're less likely to get that orange-y toned lip colour and is also why I love this lipstick so much!

It's a hefty price, no doubt, but think of it as an investment piece. If you're a lipstick person then why not treat yourself?! It's the perfect look for when you're in a rush! Hassle free!

London Fashion Week.

And another year rolls by of London Fashion Week without my attendance,sadly. Thanks to school I've been unable to go. However I got invited to Corks Fashion Week so that may be on the horizon for me! We shall see!
So here's my quick rundown of some of my fave looks!

Ashish

I generally not really a sparkle and sequins kind of girl, I find that all too often the pieces can come across as tacky, but this collection. Well. I (and the rest of the world basically) are infatuated with this. It's so fabulous. The fur, the glitter, the sparkles, it's just a glittery fabulousness really. 

This collection was designed by British fashion designer Ashish. He took inspiration from none other than Miley Cyrus and Kim K herself! I don't think gingham has ever looked so amazing!

Lou Aslop

This collection is quite different. I love the graffic prints and box shapes. It's a lot more 90s and concentrates on more light layering with shift dresses, fraying and flowing fabrics everywhere!

Braided.

And two piercings later, here I am. This is just an outfit from a trip into town with friends. Pretty casual. The weather here hasn't really turned summery (fingers crossed it eventually will..) so I actually wasn't that warm despite the heavy shoes and never ending black. 

This top is from river island and is definitely not something you can wear with hot weather. It's made of a really thick almost foamy kind of material..if that makes sense..(I also think the design would make an awesome tattoo!) Anyway the shoes are a staple in my wardrobe and have been worn to the death recently purely for their comfort.. And of coarse the fact that they're black helps. The other alternative that I wear are the famous Topshop slip ons that are all over the place right now.
