Prints Charming

 

I got these floral skinnies in Zara about 2 weeks ago and have been dying to wear them ever since! They are super comfy and very affordable at only €29.95. I just love the bold print! I teamed them with this old Coral biker jacket, also from Zara, and my favourite Penneys boots.

 

Hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend,

Orange Crush

 

Do you ever have something you hardly wear in your wardrobe for ages and then completely fall in love with it again? For me right now it's this Orange blazer from Zara. I hadn't worn it in ages and now I cant take it off. The colour stands out so nicely against a crisp white tee & some boyfriend jeans.

I also love to dress it up with heels & leather!

 

Hope everyone has an amazing Easter weekend

Diary from Down Under

I'm not going to ramble on about how amazing Australia was, but I will bombard you with a few of my favourite photos from our adventure. If you've been following me on Instagram you may have seen a few already, and if not you can follow me here.

 

I hope you enjoy the pics and any questions, just ask:)

Home Sweet Home

As you may have seen from my Instagram & Twitter I am back in Ireland!

Australia was simply amazing, but when all the fun of travelling & exploring ended, we realised that we didn't really want to settle there. It is such a beautiful country and if you have never been I highly recommend a trip! So now it's onto planning our next adventure;)

I am going to do a photo diary in my next post of some of my holiday highlights,

this is just a quick note to say I'm back!!

All I Want For Christmas Is...

With Christmas morning just around the corner and the city bustling with busy shoppers, I asked some of Ireland's top fashion folk what they are hoping to find under the tree this year.

Here's what they had to say:

Darren Kennedy
Presenter, Fashion Stylist & Writer

Top of my wishlist is a Burberry Prorsum Shearling coat...for a mere €6,377.55.

 

Annmarie O'Connor
Fashion Stylist & Journalist
Loneliness is all the more palpable this time of year so I would say the gift of friendship for everyone. Christmas FM is doing a wonderful job raising awareness for AWARE. Tune in and make a donation.

Corina Gaffey

Metallics, sequins, embellishments, whatever it is as long as it sparkles I'm hooked. I fell in love with this American Retro tux jacket in Paris, it was on sale and it fit perfectly, I walked away. So I'm hoping Santa will be popping this metallic tux jacket under my Christmas tree or I'd happily settle for another trip back to Paris to go get the jacket myself. A girl can dream....

My ultimate wish list item is... a PUG!

I would absolutely die if I woke up on Christmas morning and founds a pug asleep at the bottom of my bed!!

I recently met an 11 week old Pug puppy in Dublin, and I feel in love. She was even wearing a Christmas Jumper!

I'm definitely NOT going to be getting a Pug for Christmas but am vowing to get one in 2014. I need one!

I guess what I am dreaming most of is women wearing this dress. It is made from hand cut & applied patent leather each placed one by one and is uniquely made in Ireland! The sheer layer is made from 100% silk organza and really empowers a structured femininity. It will be available in Atelier 27 in Drury Street D2 from January 2014 at €295

This Christmas I'm dreaming of some quality time with my friends and family. If money was no object , what would I hope for under the tree? I might ask for "staff" this year. Hehe. A cleaner, chef and PA for the year would be nice although I'm useless at telling others what to do. Haha Failing that, I wouldn't mind a set of Rae Morris make up brushes or MAC's new Masterclass collection.

Samantha Kennedy
Fashion Designer
I LOVE these Celine Gold Plated Oxfords, I mean hello amazing! I'm not sure of the price, but found a pair on EBay for nearly $3000, so unfortunately they will have to stay on the wish list forever! :)

And finally, my own wish...
As I am heading to Australia on the 8th January, all I want this year is to spend some quality time with my family. My sister is a Nurse and had to work last year so I'm really looking forward to spending the day together this Christmas.

I hope everyone has a great Christmas and gets to spend this special time with the people they love:)
