Sparkle & Shine

Just a quick post to show you my make-up from last night! The amazingly talented Niamh from Mac did it for me for my leaving drinks with the girls from work. She used the glitter pots from the Mac Devine Night Christmas Collection Sets. I am in love with this set, which contains pigments and glitters, and I cant wait to try it out myself!

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend:)

Leopard Never Changes His Spots

Fur Coat Awear T-Shirt Zara Skinnies New Look Necklace Penneys/Primark Trainers Sandro

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!

I spent the day in town starting my Christmas shopping today, there was a great buzz and atmosphere around the city and it is really starting to feel like Christmas! I got some lovely presents in Brown Thomas, but they'll have to stay a secret for another few weeks:)! I think I almost prefer giving gifts than receiving them, its such a great feeling giving someone special something you know they will love.

 

We went to our favourite Sober Lane for some food and beers to refuel after all the shopping!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend,

Christmas Windows

I've been such a bad blogger lately as I have been so busy in work, so I decided to show you some photos of what I've been working on. The Christmas Windows are the most important event of our year and take two solid weeks to install. The theme this year was 1920's Snow Scenes, with a hint of Gatsby & Art Deco, I really enjoyed styling the looks for this scheme! It is hard work and a lot of late nights, but it is also a lot of fun & a great chance to really express your creativity.

The feeling you get when you see a little child gazing in at your work like its magic is so rewarding:)!

 

I finish up in work next Friday to start preparing for my Australian adventure in January

so there will be a lot more blogging from me:)!

Clover Canyon

 

Clover Canyon has only just popped up on my radar and I am already in LOVE!!

The label, founded in 2011, hails from LA and every single piece is designed, printed and made in their Californian atelier. The unique pieces are an excitable explosion of colour, print & pattern on modern, wearable silhouettes. The style nods towards Mary Katrantzou & Peter Pilotto, but in a much more affordable price range, with most dresses around €200.

 

With a huge celebrity following, including Kourtney Kardashian and Solange Knowles,

this label is definitely one to watch!

Clover Canyon is now available in Brown Thomas Cork and BT2.

Folkster Wishlist

I spend far too long drooling over the Folkster website and blog!

If you haven't already heard of Folkster (where have you been?!) it is an online store for

"bad-ass bohemian fashion loving folks" and is also part of Shutterbug, a Kilkenny based vintage store owned by the amazingly beautiful & talented stylist Blanaid Hennessy.

 

These are just a few of the items that are on my wishlist, modelled by the stunning Lauren Bejaoui, along with the Jeffrey Campbell Coltrane which is right up there at the top... Hint hint Santa;)

 

Hope you enjoy and do check out Folkster.com for outfit essentials and fashion inspiration!
