Seeing as I wore this outfit on a night out with friends, I figured it was best to call it an 'OOTN' (outfit of the night) instead of my usual OOTD. Enough of the rambling though! I bought this little black dress in Topshop on sale a few months ago, and it's so comfortable- I love it! LBDs are such staple pieces, and I have more than one in my wardrobe, that's for sure. They can be worn dressed down during the day or up at night. If you don't have an LBD in your wardrobe, what better time to get one than Summer! Apologises for the weird lighting in the pictures, the sun was setting and messed up the quality a bit. I'm still trying to get to grips with my camera!

Hey everyone,

Zoë (who lets be honest, is absolutely great in every way and totally didn't write this) kindly took outfit pictures for me a few days ago on her swanky camera, after the Oriflame event. The event was brilliant, and I wrote a full post on it here! I got my eye makeup done at the event by celebrity makeup artist Gary Cockerill, hence the smokey green eyes in these images. I've actually never properly gotten my makeup done professionally before, well not that I can remember anyways! If only I was able to recreate such a beautiful look everyday, but unfortunately my makeup skills aren't as good as his.
 
I feel like my style changes a lot with the season, and I honestly just wear what I'm in the mood for! On this particular day, I was feeling particularly 'boho'. I've been loving festival style lately, and I feel I'd be ready to go to a festival in this outfit, if I was asked!

Hey everyone,

I truly apologise for the lack of posting over the past 5 days, but wow it's been hectic! I had exams last Wednesday and Thursday, then on Friday I went into Dublin to try meet Channing Tatum- which I did! I still can't believe he stopped to take a picture, I just stood there smiling the whole time, in shock! Jonah Hill didn't come near us unfortunately, but it was still worth the 2 and a half hour wait in the rain. Then today I went 'celebrity hunting' AGAIN- this time for 5 Seconds Of Summer. They has a signing in Dundrum shopping centre today, but I didn't have tickets, so myself and tonnes of other fans waited around the backdoor for them. I got a quick glimpse of them before they went in! They didn't come back out after, even though we waited 3 hours. Sigh.

This outfit seemed like an alright choice that morning but I completely regret wearing it in the rain now, it's easy to say it wasn't the warmest! Also, how fab are my new Mello Jello shoes* from Schuh? They arrived the other day and I'm in love!

Hey everyone,

I got back from my trip to Galway on Thursday, and I had so much fun! Although it rained one of the days, myself and my family had a wonderful time. I knew I just had to pop into Cotton Face Vintage while I was down there- a vintage shop I've heard so much about. I picked up this beautiful 60's style dress with shoulder pads for just €15, and also some jewellery. I wore this dress to a a few blogger events yesterday too and got complimented on it. 

Tartan has been a huge trend over the past few months and it's brilliant to see it reviving from the past. Although I'm not sure how long this fad will last, I personally love red tartan in particular and will continue to do so!

I have a few events that I still need to blog about, and a lot of reviews planned for the upcoming weeks, so if you're a fan of Vichy and Wet'N Wild stay tuned. School starts back again tomorrow after 2 weeks off, and I couldn't be more unprepared!

Hey everyone,

Today's outfit features yet another bargain- a €3 skirt from Penneys! I've been lusting after one of these style skirts for weeks now, and after buying this beauty I can't wait to buy more. I think it's the kind of skirt that can be worn in any season- like this outfit for the colder days, or with a floppy hat and sandals in the Summer. I like my clothes to be versatile, so when the seasons change, I don't have to buy a complete new wardrobe! That's what fashion is all about- using what you have to create a different masterpiece every day. 

My hair and makeup were very Veronica Lake inspired, with waves and bright red lips. The red really contrasts with the cobalt blue skirt, but I think they complement each other beautifully. Yet another vintage inspired outfit!

Hey everyone,
Please excuse the cheesiness in the title, but the pun was needed! I bought this tote in New Look last week for my birthday and I absolutely adore it! It's super spacey and glamorous. I only noticed the other day that one of the gold chains on the handle is loose so I'll have to tighten it, sigh. I wore this outfit to the Schuh S/S '14 press event the other day, which you can read all about this week, so stay tuned! As the weather seems to be getting slightly warmer, I dug out my PVC skirt from River Island and paired it with a lace top from Penneys. I'm quite liking taking outfit photos on the street now, but I'd love to know your opinions! Let me know what you think below.
