Spotty Dotty

How's everyone's 2016 going so far?? The in-laws came up for the weekend, so myself and the other half got a chance to go out for a rare date night.  We were celebrating our 8 year anniversary and went to one of our favourite restaurants Kinara Kitchen in Ranelagh, Dublin.  I would highly recommend it, especially if you like Indian food, it is the best in Dublin!

So, I'm getting a bit tired of the January sales by now!  But i was out shopping this weekend and happened to pick up this gem of a dress at Mango for just 10 euros, down from 50!!  I do love a bit of leopard print, and the ruffle sleeves and hem are on trend for the spring.  I paired the dress with a YSL fringe bag and chain boots to give it a little rock chic edge.  xo

LA Wedding Vibes

 

I'm writing this blog post from the luxury of gorgeous California sunshine!  We have been in Orange County for the last week on holidays visiting family and a few days ago I attended my cousin's wedding in downtown LA at the Oviat Penthouse.  This is an amazing art deco building with rooftop views overlooking the city's sky scrapers.  It is by far one of the most breath taking wedding venues I have ever seen!  The bride was beautiful, the atmosphere was electric, and best of all I was reunited with my grandmother who I haven't seen in over ten years!

 

My dress is from Self Portrait.  I have been waiting for an occassion to wear a Self Portrait dress because I am obsessed with their whole line!  My dress had a lace-like effect on top with ruffle detail on the skirt and a zipper so you could reveal as much or as little leg as you pleased.   I'm off to go enjoy some more sunshine! xo

 

 

 

 



Stripes// Leather// Chanel

I was in Dublin recently and took the chance to do a bit of shopping and exercise the credit card. . . I have completed my first year on the Specialist Registrar (Geriatric Medicine) training scheme and am one year closer to becoming a Consultant physician (woohoo!)  So, naturally I took the opportunity to reward myself with these amazing new Chanel brogues. I am a firm believer in rewarding oneself at all opportunities ;)  I had seen the gold version of these shoes on a lot of bloggers online, but these navy and black brogues are understated and way more my style.  Shoes and bags are most definitely my weakness xo

Winter/ Spring

It's that awkward time of year when it's definatley still winter outside but all the stores are stocking spring clothes.  I am California dreaming - planning holidays and looking forward to longer days and warmer weather.  I picked up this striped dress and hat in H&M.  It's part of the new SS stock and would be great for holidays, but I also wanted to show how I would wear it with black tights, a belt and boots for colder weather.

I partnered with Campbell Jewellers in Dublin on this post and am wearing a Daniel Wellington watch from their store.  I love the rose gold face and the stripey band fit in with the holiday preppy Hampton's vibe I am feeling at the moment.  The great thing about Daniel Wellington watches is the variety of interchangable straps you can get in both striped fabric or leather.  I am excited to announce that Campbell Jewellers will be giving all my readers a 15% off discount on all purchases for the next 30 days (great before Valentines day, hint hint!).  Just use my code "thestyledoctor" on their website. xo

Double Dressing

Up here in Donegal, after a mild December winter has finally kicked in and we are getting a few snow flurries and high winds.  But I am sick of wearing pants all the time so today I wore two dresses doubled up on top of each other for warmth.  The longer green dress is a light weight silk dress and I topped it off with a sweater dress, scarf and beanie hat, because baby, it's cold outside!!  Most of the items I am wearing are purchased recently and are now available in the sales.  xo

Blanket Scarf Three Ways

I am living up in the northern most tip of Ireland and it is freezing up here! Especially for a girl from Southern California, I never get used to all this rain, wind and darkness in the winter.  That is why I am glad that blanket scarves are a big trend this season.  It's basically an excuse to wrap a warm, chic blanket around your shoulders for warmth when you leave the house and still be in fashion.  Plus, they are really versatile!  My favourite styles are in muted colours and geometric shapes.  They have great ones in Zara.  Stay warm! xo
