Birds of a Feather

Who doesn't love a good statement coat?  Mostly I've been wearing faux fur this winter, but this ostrich feather jacket from www.minusey.com is a fun and unique way to mix things up a bit!  The coat is so soft and fluffy and the feathers blow in the breeze and move when you walk - I just love it!  I kept the rest of my outfit simple to really let the jacket shine.  The mixed metal chain necklace is new from River Island.  I really like wearing silver and gold together for a chic look. xo

Side Slits and a Fringe

Well, it's only a few weeks into January and I'm back to my monochrome ways!  It's a well known fact that New Years resolutions don't last very long. . .When it comes to fashion, it makes sense to stick to a tried and true formula that works for your body type while staying true to your personal style.  That being said, it's fun to try new things and push the boundaries out as well!  I bought this sweater at Cos last week in Dublin.  It's part of the new collection and a great way to transition into the spring while staying warm.  I love the unique buttons down the side that you can wear open or closed for layering.  xo

Capes and Plaid

I took these pictures a few days ago before snow blanketed Ireland and you could still wear clothes like these without absolutely freezing to death!  I got this high waisted Sandro skirt in the sales at Brown Thomas.  It's super versatile and I am going to wear it to work with a smart collared shirt and also on  nights out with a crop top.  On this occasion, I paired it with a cropped sweater and cape to keep warm.  xo

Festive

Last night I went out for a work Christmas party.  I love this time of year, because people always put in extra effort to be social and I get to and mix in lots of different circles.  It's also an excuse to get the glad rags on and who doesn't love that!?! Unfortunately this year the theme of the party was Xmas jumpers.  I didn't have an Xmas jumper, nor did I want to go out and purchase one that I knew I didn't like and would never wear again.  Thus, this outfit was born.  I decided to wear this red  silk top with a bow because I thought it was a bit festive and looked like a Christmas gift.  I paired it with a light pink leather look high waisted skirt that I just bought in River Island and a Penney's faux fur coat that kept me really warm! Enjoy the holiday season! xo
