I really don't like January. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone here! Its so cold & quiet that the only way to get through it is to treat ourselves or make some exciting plans! I've done a bit of shopping, booked a weekend away and am starting back at the gym tomorrow morning! It seems like the whole country is on a January Detox/Health Kick and I'm loving it! Its nice to start the year off on a positive note!

 

I started talking about January because this outfit is all about the layers & wrapping up! It has been so cold in Cork these last few weeks. I love my new Penney's hat as its so snug & cosy and, at €3, wont break the bank! I've had my eye on this adorable little camera bag from Accessorize for ages and snapped it up in the Sale for just €20!

 

Hope everyone's having a great 2015 so far,

I am feeling very festive this weekend! I finally got a start on my Christmas shopping and we visited the lovely market in town for some tasty goodies! We also got our tree up and mulled some wine. I do love this time of year!

 

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

A New Dawn

 

A new month is here, and it's one of my favourites of the year.

I'm feeling a fresh and exciting vibe with new beginnings & adventures!

Day of the Dead

 

So yesterday morning we decided to dress up a bit for the night! I had been working non stop all week on Christmas Windows so hadn't even planned on going out but sometimes they are the best nights! I am obsessed with Mexican Sugar Skulls and have wanted to do the Day of the Dead make-up look for ages. I ran to the pound shop for some white face paint & cheap flowers. I attached the flowers to a hairband to make the head piece and it only cost €4!

 

Hope you like the make-up:)

Hands up, I am guilty of being a bad blogger over the last week or so! I am back to work after a lovely 10 months off so have been adjusting to that, and had a bad case of the sniffles too. But I'm back to normal now:)!

 

So the week before last, I was invited to a bloggers preview of the Opera Lane AW collections in Perry Street Café. The food was amazing (especially those red velvet cupcakes!) and the show, which was styled by Natasha Crowley, made me want to run to Opera Lane there & then and buy everything!

 

I went with the beautiful Margaret of 4ngstyle and we took some pics before the show, so huge thanks to her for these photos and do check out her gorgeous blog if you haven't already!

All Wrapped Up

Scarf, Top, Leather Jacket, Boots & Bag Penneys/Primark Jeans New Look

 

 

I am so in love with Penney's range of scarves for Autumn Winter! I bought this one a few weeks ago and have been dying to wear it ever since.  It is so cosy & also oversized so can be worn either as a scarf or wrapped around as a shawl.It is check on one size & houndstooth on the reverse so really you're getting two scarves in one! And if all that isn't enough, it also comes in a range of colours! I have my eye on the pastel pink version & the forest green too.

A super quick outfit post from the weekend! I am just loving this weather we are having and it is set to stay for the week! I didn't think Id still be wearing my denim cut-offs in September! This check shirt is one of my most treasured pieces, as it is Luella, whos label was one of my favourites!

 

Happy Monday!

Jump From Paper

My boyfriend got me this amazing, whimsical bag for my birthday in June. If you follow me on Instagram then you've probably seen it already, but I'm only getting around to blogging about it now!

Never before have I had an accessory that makes me smile so much! It is from a company called Jump from Paper and is available in The Glucksman Art Gallery Gift Shop, an Irish exclusive!

 

I have a feeling this brand is going to be huge!
