Painting Faces

I love Halloween!!!

There is nothing I love more than researching and deciding what to dress up as, planning and making my costume and doing my hair & make-up! I'm not going to make it out this year as I am too busy with work so I've put together a few of my favourite Halloween make-up looks for you to enjoy!

 

Hope you all have a great Halloween, would love to see what everyone dresses up as:)!

Chunky Knits

Now that Winter is really setting in and the evenings are getting darker, it is definitely time to break out the chunky knits. They are everywhere this season and there are so many variations, in both price and style. Knits are such an easy piece to wear, as they can be easily dressed up with a statement necklace and some leather look skinnies and still be comfy and cosy!

 

I am still really busy in work putting in Christmas Windows so I am sorry for being such a bad blogger over the last week:(

Little Gem

 

Just a quick outfit post on what I wore out for drinks and dancing with the girls at the weekend. I found this gem of a necklace in Zara for €22.95 and just had to wear it out! I kept the rest of my look quite simple so the necklace was the main statement.

 

I am working on Christmas Windows at the moment, so that means a lot of glitter and maybe not so many posts. So I apologise in advance if I don't get much time to blog over the next two weeks.

I wont bite!

Sweater H&M Skirt Finders Keepers at Brown Thomas Necklace, Bracelet & Boots Penneys/Primark 

I wore this on Tuesday evening when I was hosting a table of Fashion Bloggers at the Brown Thomas AW13 Fashion Show. The event was held in The Elm Tree, Glounthane, a beautiful bar and restaurant that never disappoints!

 

I invited Erika of Retro Flame, Nessa of Lifes Lust Haves, Vera of Yucky Duck Fashion, Margaret of 4ng2 and Natasha of Fashion Stylists. After the Fashion Show, we were treated to an amazing meal and champagne. It was so great to chat with other Cork fashion bloggers and share stories. I recommend you check out all of their blogs if you haven't yet!

 

Blog post on the actual show coming soon and huge thank you to Margaret from 4ng2 for taking these pics!

Giving you the Boot

 Leather Jacket Zara Sweater, Necklace & Boots Penneys/Primark Skinnies Bershhka

There is one main reason I love this time of year and it is fashion! I love wearing my winter boots again, taking out all my cosy warm clothes and layering up! It wasn't actually that cold at the weekend so I was still able to flash a bit of ankle and wrist before it gets really chilly... but by then I'll be heading off to the warmer climates of Australia:)

 

I am hosting a table of Fashion Bloggers at a special event tomorrow evening so stay tuned to my Twitter & Instagram for updates, I'm really looking forward to an evening of fashion and great company:)!

CFW Designer of the Year Show

Saturday night I attended the highly anticipated Designer of the Year Show as part of Cork Fashion Week. The show was held in the stunning Triskel Christchurch and it was also a great opportunity to meet some lovely Irish bloggers that I hadn't met before. The design talent was outstanding and I was very impressed with the Millinery section of the show. My photos didn't come out the best so I will do a more detailed post soon with better images of the clothes, but for now here are some details of what I wore:)

My News!

So I have a bit of personal news I wanted to share with you all,

A Stitch in Style is on the move!

After months and months of planning and saving, myself and my boyfriend have finally booked our tickets and

we are off to Australia in January!!

 

I am so, so excited to head off an our little adventure and I will of course be continuing my blog on my travels. I will however only have a backpack with me so my outfit posts may not be slightly limited:)!

I am really interested in the fashion scene in Australia at the moment, there are a lot of talented new designers emerging, interesting boutiques, and super stylish bloggers, and I hope to gain some experience in the industry while I am there.

 

I still have a bit of time before the packing panic starts so blogging will continue as normal for the time being:)
