A bit of retail therapy!


I'm rocking this colourful peacock fur in this picture. I decided to treat myself today as I've been working hard for the last week and needed a bit of cheering up!
I adore this coat, I spotted it from the corner of my eye and knew it had to be mine!
Especially since the colder weather is coming in we need a bit of colour to brighten things up a bit!
I have gotten so many compliments today already from this coat!
I got it from H&M (who never fail) and was in awe when I saw the price tag! I bagged this beauty for only £79.99!!! I know right? What a good find.

Confetti Crowd


I met the gorgeous Snoochie Shy from the all-girl blogger group the other night at Visions in Dalston.
I was so happy to meet her and she was so lovely! I have been following the Confetti Crowd for a while now and I love love love their work, together and individually!

Halloween


I went all out for this Halloween. I wish everyday could be Halloween! 
Cruella De Ville was my alter-ego for the night.

Louis Vuitton Series 3 Exhibition in London!


It was such a great day and I was so impressed at the amount on show, it was so exciting.
I really felt that I could get into the mind set of the designer and his visions and dreams.


Louis Vuitton Series 3


The Louis Vuitton exhibition in London was amazing! So much hard  work had been put in to creating this exhibition to allow us to really dive into the mind of the designer and his prosperous thoughts.

Rokit


I'm so happy that there is a Rokit just down the road from me, but my purse wont be after a while!
I took a snap of these beauties.. love love love the royal blue! Such a statement shoe to make any outfit pop.


One of the quirkiest/unbelievable pieces of street art that I've seen in a while.. such a statement picture! Brick lane is truly a great place for creative and innovative people because you can just walk down the street and get an abundance of inspiration.

Brick Lane baby


Living right beside Brick Lane means a lot of cool street art and just cool things in general to take pictures of 24/7!

Jeremy Scott for Moschino: Spring/Summer 16



Jeremy Scott for Moschino: Spring/Summer 16


Ok... so as we have all established, Jeremy Scott rocks it every time. I cannot keep up. At NYFW Jeremy Scott brought back the "swingin' sixties", but as always he did it with a more funky/colourful twist.
I may be biased because the sixties is my ultimate favourite fashion era.. but oh my god did he amaze us all. If Andy Warhol made clothes.. this is what it would look like. He is so incredibly artistic and aware of what fashion is all about.. FUN! Fashion is fun and should be fun.. and this screams FUN! I cannot get this collection out of my head!

Jeremy Scott for Moschino: Spring/Summer 16


Gigi Hadid looks phenomenal in this picture. She looks like she's just been teleported straight back from the sixties!! The statement graphic liner and coral/nude lip along with the voluminous bouncy hair screams the swinging sixties. Jeremy Scott is a genius!

Poncho's for Autumn/Fall

I just recently bought this exact black poncho at Primark for €14.00!
I felt a sense of nostalgia when I put it on as 10 years ago these were all the rave, I use to have one in every single colour under the rainbow.. no joke! I'm really starting to like them again purely for their  practicality and comfort. I throw it over my gym gear or throw it over whatever attire I'm wearing when running out the door. A great item to have in your wardrobe as the colder weather kicks in, not the most high-fashion piece (evidently) but perfect for lazy days!

Friday's Favourite

NYC's liquid eyeliner is without a doubt one of the best drugstore eyeliners around, I had to share it with you because it is a must-have in your make-up kit! The thin brush applicator ensures a precise and clean liner flick. It is jet black and has a matte finish.. everything you desire in an eyeliner! It's long-wearing and very easy to use.. perfect for beginners! The Youtube beauty guru 'Chrisspy' swears by this liner too. The best thing about this liner is that it's only €2.79 at Primark!!
Your liner will always be "On Fleek."

I'm moving!!!

                                             Eeeeeekkkkk!!! I cannot contain my excitement!!
                                      I am moving to one of London's most artistic/creative/inspirational places... Brick lane!! Brick lane is  where one of my favourite fashion designers ever got some of his inspiration from.. The audacious  Alexander  McQueen. You can clearly see why from this insane street art.. the creativity exuberates beyond words. I am moving because I am starting college at The London College of Fashion (LCF) to study Fashion Journalism. I have invisioned this day for years, and also worked my butt off which payed off! I cannot believe that I will be studying at my dream University doing my dream course. Studying my two passions combined.. Fashion and the written word. I am looking forward to starting this new chapter in my life and I'm excited to see what the future brings. Onwards and upwards! 
     Ciaoo xx

The perfect Sunday


The perfect sunday = Vogue and a Coffee.

Chunky retro hoops




 

I bought these beauties the other day in H&M and I am in love with them! H&M have a great selection of jewellery, ranging from very minimalistic pieces to retro bold statement pieces. There is something for everyone.
I cannot wait to style these 1960's inspired chunky hoops with a cute shift dress and tights.

Dublin's Street Art

Another Picture that I snapped from yesterday in Dublin, on the way up to Temple Bar. I love this picture so much, the vibrancy and the richness of the colours is incroyable.

Street Art

  
I am in love with the street art in Dublin. Dublin is such a great City, full of colour and amazing artists. I saw this as I walked through one of the side streets on the way back from Temple Bar and it really stood out to me.. pretty damn cool.

Paris blues!!



I loved the Art galleries in Paris.. I found some very beautiful and unique pieces!

Champs Elysees


Paris!!


Le Petit Dejeuner!!
The typical French breakfast! A french croissante and a latte! It's quite expensive in Paris.. but the coffee and fresh patisseries really live up to their expectations and were way better than I had anticipated. I loved watching all the Parisian people go about their lives while we sipped on our yummy coffee... (This is the life!)

Airport life!


My Airport/travelling attire top tip: Dress Comfortable!
There's nothing worse than not feeling comfy or feeling unconfident when rushing around, it stresses you out big time! All black erryythanng.. you can't really go wrong with all black can you?!  This loose dress is perfect for travelling in, it's light and is quite flattering with the V-neckline, it makes it more feminine!

Food Glorious Food!!


Food Glorious Food!!!
Look at this picture oozing with complete goodness and bulks of sugar.. yummy, right?
Fresh patisseries and cakes of utter deliciousness. They're all like little drops of heaven! (My mouth is currently watering)

Paris


Moi avec ma tante dans le restaurante!
My Aunty Karen and I (and my mam taking the picture) in a fab restaurant for lunch.
We had the most amazing fresh baguette.. which consisted of cheese, tomatoes, ham, onions, lettuce and a lovely strong expresso on the side! Sounds like a cliche alright, but it was a delicious cliche!

The city of love!


My mam and I on the plane on our  way over to Paris! I remember the excitement at this exact moment! I really wish I could do it all over again... it feels like a distant memory now.. a memory that I  oh so badly want to recapture!

The city of love!


I had to take a cheeky picture outside of this belle maison!! Paris really has it all. The beauty, the architecture, the sights, the food , the patisserie.. what more could you want? I had to throw on my retro sunnies (which I call my John Lennon glasses because they remind me of him so much!) to make the picture that bit cooler.. hehe. I opted to wear this very light-weight black and white striped dress. It's very breathable and perfect for the days when the sun is blazing and you're doing lots of the touristy things! I can't get enough of stripes lately.. they are everything!

Paris Blues! (The city of love)



The Eiffel  Tower! It's even more amazing and HUGE in person. I really didn't expect it to be that enormous but it exceeded my expectations! We walked about 5 miles in the scorching heat so we could see this iconic tower, and it was really worth it.

The 70's are back baby!



The iconic fashion era of the 70's is making a come-back to our runways this Spring/Summer!
We see the return of Flares, fringe, suede, velvet and pointed fur-lined collars! This come-back demonstrates  a more relaxed and serene approach, making it achievable to all. There's a slight modern twist, its quite refreshing!
