Silver Sparkle

This past weekend I was back in Cork, my adoptive home town, for my sis-in-law's baby shower.  Looking out at the beautiful River Lee, I truly felt that I left my heart in Cork. . .Dublin may be the Capitol, and have a lot to offer, but at the end of the day, home is where your friends and family are.  

I wore this gorgeous silver sequin skirt that I got a few months back on sale from Lavish Alice.  It was all about the silver sparkle with this outfit as I also wore my new Prada loafers and this Mirina Collections necklace.  You can get 20% off on tons of amazing necklaces on the Mirina Collections website using my code sarahxoxo2.

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

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

I am so lucky to have the holiday season off work to enjoy friends, family, food and of course. . . the after Christmas sales!!  My family and I made the 6 hour car journey down from Donegal to Cork and let me just say that it was worth it because the shopping here is on point!  I picked up some great pieces and I can't wait to share them with you. 

 

 My close friend and fellow blogger Irish Fashaholic and I caught up over lunch and couldn't help but take a few outfit snaps of each other as you do! This over sized sweater I picked up in the Zara sale is most probably the coziest thing I have ever owned.  To prevent it from looking too mumsy, I paired it with these hot Zara boots (also from the sale!), and very comfy, I might add! Happy shopping and be sure to check out www.irishfashaholic.blogspot.ie  xo
