Geometry

It's mid-August, and summer has finally arrived to Ireland!  It's good to be alive and in such a vibrant city like Dublin.  On sunny days, after work I want to make the most of the day and head into the city's parks for some sun and relaxation. . .The kids love it too, there are so many great parks here!

Alas, autumn is just around the corner and the shops are starting to stock the A/W collections, which I am super excited about!  I just had a bit of a haul from Zara which included this top.  I love the colour burgundy for autumn.  This top also has cool velvet details that don't come out well in the pictures.  Enjoy the sun everyone! xo

Biker Chic

I am off work this weekend and taking advantage of the beautiful weather!  Yesterday my family and I went off to explore the Inishowen peninsula in County Donegal.  I have a bucket list of all the beautiful beaches, parks and quaint towns to see up here before I move to Dublin in July.  We ate at the Red Door Country House in Buncranna, and that's where I snapped these pictures.  As you can see, the scenery is gorgeous!  

I wore this faux leather biker vest from Misguided and I am in love with it!  It was a steal at around 50 euros and is such good quality.  Vests or sleeveless jackets are a great way to transition into spring when there is still a chill in the air.  I particularly like the little details on this biker vest such as the zips, pockets and belt at the bottom.  xo

Spring in My Step

What beautiful weather we been having lately in Ireland! It feels like spring is finally here. . . time to shed off those winter layers, break out the sunnies and who knows, you may even get a tan!?  I had a lovely Easter weekend soaking up the sunshine on the beaches of Donegal with friends and family.  I wore this brightly coloured outfit to reflect the cheerful and sunny mood that good weather brings.  This unexpected colour combination of orange, purple and green works really well together.  Also, with my new shorter hair cut, I've decided that I'm going to bring back the statement earring starting off with these large gold hoops (watch this space!) I hope you all enjoyed the sun as much as I did.  Long may it last! xo

Pleated Leather

I'm sure you may have noticed by now that one of my staple styles is high waisted skirts, crop tops and anything monochrome.  This is a fashion formula that just seems to work for me every time.  Keeping the neckline high and the hemline long ensures the look stays classy.  I recently braved the icy roads to make a shopping trip down to Dublin and I picked up this leather look skirt in Top Shop.  It's part of the new SS15 collection.  I am so over the sales at this stage as they never have my size left in stock and everything is picked through. The stores were full of gorgeous SS clothes, so let's hope this weather lifts soon! 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

Fresh Princess

Happy new year everyone! As one of my resolutions, I would like to try to incorporate more colour into my wardrobe. . .starting after this outfit post!  I decided to call this look "Fresh Princess" because it reminds me a lot of my childhood in the early 90's growing up and watching "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" on TV.  If anyone else remembers and loves that show as much as I do, then you will know what I am talking about! The faux fur coat is very princessey like Hilary, while the Isabel Marant high tops and crop top are a bit more funky like Will.  This outfit is a great laid back alternative to a dress or skirt for going out.  And I must say the coat was a steal in Penney's for only 40 euros and looks much more expensive! xo
