Hey everyone,

I'm currently writing this in bed, sick with a bad cold and moping with self pity. The Easter holidays have begun, and to say I'm elated would be an understatement! I'll have plenty of time to write my heart out. I recently received a gorgeous necklace from Eleanor Hall Jewellery* and I couldn't wait to wear it. I've followed Eleanor on twitter for a while now and I was in awe of her products, so when she asked if I'd like to try a piece out I jumped at the chance. She sent me her "Heavy Metal" necklace [retailing at €26] which is made with Czech glass spike beads- almost magical like! It's particularly hard to capture on camera, from the way the light catches it! I love it anyways, and she was kind enough to send a pair of earrings for my sister, who as you know is Oh Hey There Rachel's resident blog photographer. Eleanor is an Irish jewellery designer, and her latest Game Of Thrones collection is gorgeous!

I'm wearing yet another Haim band tee but I picked this up at their last gig in Ireland and I adore it. I decided to try out double buns in my hair and strangely enough, I really like it!

Hey everyone,

I was tinkering about on the internet as one does, and came across a website called selectspecs.com. You mightn't know this, but I have terrible eyesight. I'm extremely shortsighted and wear glasses everyday, for tv, school, etc. I tend to wear contacts at the weekend, but they can be tiring to wear every day. When I discovered the website, I was immediately impressed by the prices. For lenses, frames and shipping, these specs cost me around €15! Although they aren't as good as your typical opticians frames, the prescription is spot on, and I love them! 

Daisies are one of my favorite type of flowers, and when I spotted this cute bargain, I knew I had to buy it. I'm glad the weather is picking up, because it means I can actually bear to bare my legs. I'm also loving layered necklaces, so I paired this infinity symbol one that I won off Pretty Twisted a while ago with my beloved choker.






Dress- New Look, thrifted (€3!)
Tights- Penneys/Primark
Blouse [underneath]- Bershka
Glasses- Select Specs
Infinity necklace- Pretty Twisted [won]
Jacket- Penneys/Primark
Choker- etsy
Frilly socks- Penneys/Primark
Shoes- KG by Kurt Geiger, thrifted (also €3!)

Hey everyone,

So the Company Magazine Style Blogger Awards have recently begun, and nominations are probably flooding in by the minute. If you think I'm worthy of the title, I'd appreciate it if you could nominate me for 'Best teen Style Blogger'. Not only would it be amazing to even make the shortlist, but I think it would be great to represent Ireland- we don't get much of a look in!

Hey everyone!
As an avid magazine reader, I decided I would showcase some of my favorite magazines- a mixture of Irish, British and International. I am literally obsessed with magazines- I buy about 3/4 a month! There's nothing better than flicking through the glossy pages of a fashion bible, lusting over clothes I can't afford and beauty trends I'm desperate to try. Without these little gems, I'd probably be clueless in the world of fashion! 

Seeing as I read as many magazines as I do, I'm quite the critic on which ones I like and which ones.. not so much. Although the below are my favorite, some do have their faults!



1. KISS
As you can clearly see from the picture above, KISS magazine is my all time FAVORITE magazine. I have been collecting since August 2010 and not one issue has left my bedroom. I don't believe in throwing out a good magazine- you never know when you might need it! KISS happens to be Ireland's only teen magazine, and at only €2.49 its very popular over here among us teen fashionistas. The clothes they showcase are of course, all Irish and all in euro prices- really handy compared to when I'm reading a British magazine in sterling prices! Not only is it packed with everything fashion and beauty, but the staff at KISS HQ are all so nice too. I was lucky enough to be featured in KISS twice [read my post here]. I'm also doing work experience with them in August, I can't contain my excitement!

2. Vogue
I can't not mention the magazine that changed the lives of fashion hopefuls everywhere! Vogue is the magazine i turn to where I can catch up with the latest couture and hits on the runway. I can long for over-prices things and wonder about the eccentric makeup and photography. I find that there's more pictures than writing, so its not a magazine I buy too often- especially since it's €6 a go!

3. Elle 
Elle is a magazine I associate with Vogue, purely because of the similar advertisements and covers. However, I actually prefer the articles in Elle! I find them a bit more relatable and well written. I love the style and elegance of it though! Still a bit pricey for me however.

4. Xposé
I adore Ireland's newest fashion and beauty magazine. It's base on a TV show of the same on TV3, that's on every day with the latest fashion news. When I heard they were producing a magazine, I was so excited because I religiously watch the show! Luckily, it lived up to my expectations and has definitely become a favorite of mine. Quite like KISS, but aimed more towards adults. However, the cheap and chic fashion showcased in it and newest beauty products are to die for!

5. Company 
Probably my favorite British magazine, Company never fails to disappoint me. I think my favorite thing about is it's quirky and unique layout. It's quite a small magazine, but the doodles and finished inside the not-so-glossy pages are really charming. I love how they feature bloggers every once and again, and the latest music artists. Definitely a great magazine for variety! [*PS- the Company Style Blogger Awards have arrived, and although I wasn't nominated *cries* two of my favorite IRISH blogs Thunder & Threads and Tarmartales made the cut! Vote for them here and fly the Irish flag*]


Of course, there are so many other magazines I enjoy reading, like Stellar and Glamour. Magazines are my bibles!

What do you think? What are your favorite magazines?
