Black and White and Red All Over

Hello! I'm back! I know it's been ages since I have put up a post but sometimes life gets in the way of blogging. . . So, in the past few months there has been an absolute explosion of 1990's revival trends. Foremost among those is the good ole choker necklace!  I must say, there is something chic about the simple black velvet choker.  The sad thing is that I can remember rocking a similar look back in high school. . . But I for one am going to be embracing this return of all things cool during my teenage years!  Long live the '90's!  xo

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

 

 

 

 



Shades of Grey

It's all about this jumpsuit from River Island!  When I spotted it in the store, I knew I had to have it!  Not only is this jumpsuit so "me", it ticks a lot of the autum/winter trends and is a great way transition into the colder weather.  I love the mini turtleneck and wide cut legs.  I wore it this time on a dinner date night out in Ranelgh with some cobalt blue accessories.  xo

Black White & Blue

I like experimenting with new styles and shapes and this tunic with really high cut side slits is the perfect example.  I bought it recently on my Misguided shopping spree and paired it with these high waisted Cameo pants and electric blue Penney's accessories for a dinner date night out.  It's fun to reveal an unexpected flash of skin on the side.  It's sexy, but still conservative too.  The only thing I would say is that the slits are cut quite high and it is at risk of showing your undergarments!! So wear a lacy bra or cameo that you don't mind showing off! xo
