Hey everyone!

Just a quick post as I am still BUZZING from today! Not only did I have my jazz dance exam [which thankfully went well] but I went into town to meet one of my favorite bands, Haim! 

For those of you who don't know, Haim are an upcoming band, consisting of the Haim sisters Este, Alana and lead singer Danielle, as well as drummer Dash Hutton. I absolutely love them! Their album is due out this year and their songs 'Falling' and 'Dont Save Me' are popular in the charts. I'll leave some videos below, check them out!

Basically, Este who is the oldest and craziest accidently said her mobile number aloud during an itunes festival gig on youtube. Since then myself and many other fans have been texting her! I facetimed the girls recently and their gig was today in Dublin. Unfortunately  it was over 18s [aw] so I couldn't get in- however I arranged to meet the girls! It took some time but the waiting was all worth it! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT.

Este, me, Danielle & Alana Haim <3


Myself and the girls, aswell as my sister Sarah!

Hey everyone!
I was having a lazy day the other day after a long day of schoolwork and study, when the weather suddenly picked up and my mam suggested that I get out for a bit. It was perfect weather for taking photos! I'm definitely becoming alot more confident behind the camera and experimenting with new ways to make my photos more creative. It also helps that my 11 year old sister thoroughly enjoys taking photos.. of me! I would say I was going for a 'casual' look [although really I just threw on the nearest things in my wardrobe after school!] Might I say that our dog Misty looks dashing in these photos- a potential doggy model in the making I think!

Hey everyone!
I'm not going to write a review of this product because I've already written one on a similar Essie product, 'bikini so teeny', here. The quality is the same- minimal chipping [apart from the parts I smudged myself, visible above] and an outstanding, bright colour. I am in love with this shade! Quite frankly, I am not a lover of the colour orange nor orange nail polish, but there's something about this shade that puts me in a good mood. It goes well with my skin tone, and it's so bright that it stands out! I got lots of compliments wearing it. I bought this little beauty on fragrancedirect.co.uk, where they sell Essie polishes for as little as €2.50!

My Summer Wishlist


[clockwise l-r] some cute crop tops, floral sunglasses [hoping to do a DIY job!], a floral bikini, this one by Kelly Brook from New Look  is fab, a chunky gold chain necklace, some [floral] skater skirts, wedge sandals, and a wide brimmed sun-hat to shade myself from the sun!

I apologise for the lack of posts lately- however I'm super busy with exam stress and also preparing for my stage school's annual show. Busy times! Making this post reminded me so much of how I literally can't wait for school and exams to be over and let SUMMER ROLL IN!
