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? 

Stylin' like Harry Styles.

River Island jacket+boots / Topshop jeans / Vintage Kimono

First time ever trying to get photo's in darkness. With school and everything it's not really possible for me to go out and get pictures early morning so a girls got to do what a girls got to do! So bare with me for the lighting on this one. This outfit was sort of thrown together last minute but I think it works. It's somewhat inspired my Mr Harry Styles.
 I love getting inspiration from celebs but I have to say, this is the first time I've ever gotten inspired by a male celebrity let alone a One Direction member! I've just joined Vine and he was one of the first people I followed! It seems that lately all of the boys have been definitely exercising their own style. With nearly every outfit I see on Harry, being a half opened shirt, tight jeans and boots. So there you go. With that said, mine cost no where near the cost of Harry's, naturally but I think it works. I've had these boots for forever now and still find that they can pull off any look. I've always said that you just can't beat a good white shirt! 

Do you find inspiration from male celebs?

Beige on Beige.

For those days of comfy-casual with a little somethin' somethin'  I always opt for a one tone outfit. Now generally speaking this tends to be black or more recently all white. Beige is a colour I've always loved mainly because I think it compliments every skin tone under the sun. From the fairest of all to the darkest skin tones, you're covered. I think there's something expensive looking about wearing one colour for a whole outfit. Maybe it's just me but I find no matter where you've bought the pieces when put together they look timeless and somewhat classy. 

Now that's not exactly what I'd say for this outfit as a whole but I definetely think that the jumper and trousers don't look any where near as cheap as they were! 

What's your favorite ensemble for the season?

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!

What's your most expensive beauty item?

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!

Daisy's?

Jumper&dress-Penny's//  Boots-River Island.

While Spring is not quite here yet, I decided not to venture out and wear this dress alone as I know I will freeze to death! Teaming it with a polo jumper still leaves it with a spring feel but if your're feeling more winter than sun, then you can always pair this ensemble with a big baggy jumper, which never fails.Chunky boots are also a must with this kind of outfit in my books, it roughens it up a bit don't you think?
