 Hey everyone,

Yesterday I attended the first press event I've been to in months, to view Boohoo's latest collection. Being surrounded by so many passionate and fashionable people has really given me a good boost of motivation and inspiration! I'm hoping to redesign my blog layout over Easter, and I shall hopefully be returning to posting more than once a week.

 Hey everyone,

When one of my favourite Irish designers, Alice Halliday, got in touch with a proposal for a Valentines Day themed collaboration, I was 100% up for it. Not only is my birthday on Valentines Day, but Alice is a designer that I've been following on Instagram since forever. I actually discovered her work through one of my favourite artists Florence Welch (of Florence + the Machine) who wore one of Alice's capes a while back. Since then, her ethical and ethereal pieces have been featured in many publications, and are stocked in both Ireland & the UK (stockists below!), not to mention online. 

The end result was a sort of Alice In Wonderland themed photoshoot, shot at my one of favourite places. The eerie fog and background void of many people really added to the mythical look I was going for! Although I evidently have my own sense of personal style, I absolutely love putting themed shoots together. I don't have a professional photographer, and I'm not a model- but that doesn't make styling photo shoots impossible. Just grab a friend (or a younger sister in my case!), put on some pretty clothes based around a certain theme, and voila!

Alice's pieces are stocked here:

Isobella Ru, 20 Drawbridge St. Cork
Wall & Jones, 340 Hackney Road, London
... and she also takes custom orders via her Etsy page here.

Hey everyone,

On Saturday I had the honour of participating in Ireland's first ever blogger conference, and what an amazing day it was! I didn't have my own speaking slot but I contributed to the Q&A panel alongside some of Ireland's top bloggers like Leanne Woodfull, Joanne Larby & Sue Jordan. I was completely overwhelmed by the huge response I recieved- never in a million years did I imagine I'd get such lovely praise and comments. Thanks to everyone who attended and came up for a chat!

I had this outfit in mind as soon as this skirt from Boohoo arrived on my doorstep. I've been loving grey and cool toned pieces lately, but I decide to warm things up with a berry lip and burgundy bag. As usual, my outfit is a mix of highstreet and vintage, two things I'm greatly passionate about.

Hey everyone,

I was sorting through some old photos and I came across these outfit shots I took a month or two ago and completely forgot to share with you! It was during that awkward time when Summer was yet to leave, but it was not yet Autumn. That said, it definitely seems like something I could still wear now. I thrifted these Kurt Geiger shoes for a mere €3, and the frilly socks just look super cute with it, don't you think? I decided to mix textures by wearing two different finishes of leather- my patent skirt from River Island and trusty jacket from Penneys. Since these pictures were taken, my hair has changed colour- yay! There's not much of a difference but I'm finally free from failed ombré attempts, and I've gone for an all over mahagony-purple-brown. 

Clothes aside, Gaga was amazing on Friday, as expected! I queued for 7 hours and ended up about 5 or 6 rows from the front so it was totally worth it. Seeing my idol on stage for the first time in two years made me really overwhelmed, but I'd do anything to go back-sigh.

What do you think about wearing double (even triple, including my shoes!) leather?

Hey everyone,

So I FINALLY got around to doing some shopping- and by god, did I need some retail therapy! I've been on the lookout for a cheap black fedora for months now, and I was considering buying one on eBay, but luckily enough I came across this one in Penneys for €8. My outfit is mostly Penneys actually- they're really picked up their game in my opinion! I also found the perfect kimono with fringing for €15. I'm very particular with my kimonos!

I wore this outfit on a family day out [to do some more shopping, believe it or not]. I'm heading down to visit my good friend Zoë from Zoe With Umlauts today for a couple of days, and I'm super excited! It's going to be a weekend filled with fun blogging activities, that's for sure. It will also be nice to visit the south of Ireland, as I haven't been down there in years.Although it's only a few days away from home, it might be the only holiday I get this year. My sister is heading in for her second spinal operation on Monday, so fingers crossed it goes well.

Hey everyone,
My dear blogging friend Zoë was chosen to be the official blogger at the Junk Kouture fashion show, and she kindly invited me to go along with her! It was a brilliant evening- not only did we have front row seats in the O2 arena, but we also got back stage passes- very official! The show itself was amazing, and all 80 dresses were breathtaking. Junk Kouture is a competition held across Ireland, where students submit a dress they've created out of 'junk'. 

I've been longing after a flower crown for so long now, so I was delighted to pick up this pretty one in Penneys for €3. The bomber jacket has an 80s feel to it, and it was only €7- bargain!
