outfit
I love coats. In fact, if I had to choose a favourite piece of clothing, I'd choose the winter coat. But the problem is, as soon as Winter comes around, I find it hard to commit to a new one. Not because of the price (although I'll admit that is a factor) but because there are so many different styles and colours to choose from. Will I go for a trusty cocoon one in dusty pink? Or stick with a monochrome palette this season?
Pastels For Spring

Considering my college hours are fairly easy going, I really did think I'd have a lot of time free to shoot outfit posts- oh how wrong I was! From societies to socialising, not to mention the commuting, my first few weeks of university life have been pretty hectic. Not only that, but my photographer (aka my 14 year old sister) has been busy too! I'm almost in college a month now so I'm hoping I'll be able to sort out some sort of routine soon..
Autumn is my favorite season without doubt, particularly because of the style and the return of Downton Abbey. Now that I have a job, I've been spending most of my money on food, transport and clothes- I guess I'm just an Autumn dresser! Honestly, I feel way more comfortable in boots and knits than I do in Summer clothes. 90% of my outfit is from Penneys, as I wanted to style a look that was extremely affordable for my fellow students!

Hey everyone,
Some more pictures from my recent trip to France! Looking back at these photos is making me wish I was still there.. Thankfully I don't have to wait long before travelling again, as I'm off to Lisbon in Portugal next week. I'm super excited as I've never been before- if you have any recommendations on places to visit, please send them my way!
During my time in France, we took a short trip to the Château De Chenonceau. Believe it or not I'm a bit of a history nerd and when I heard we were visiting this castle in particular, I'm not going to lie, I fangirled a bit! I did my Leaving Cert history research topic on Mary Queen of Scots, and this castle is actually linked to her. Her father-in-law's mistress, Diane De Poitiers, lived here for a while, as did her mother-in-law Catherine De Medici. The castle and it's gardens was honestly one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited. I found it fascinating that all the rooms remained in such good condition! The castle was about a 45 minute drive from where we were staying just outside Tours, so if you're around that area, I highly recommend visiting it.

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,
I'm so glad it's finally the weekend again! I'm so used to posting on my blog every 2 days, so about 3-4 times a week, but lately I've been so busy that I can barely manage 2 a week (damn school). This outfit was actually shot a few weeks ago, so it was when I was still getting used to my new camera. Myself, my mam and my sister were shopping in the city, so these images were taken at a fleeting moment before the sun set!
In other news, if you follow me on instagram (if you don't.. it's @ohheythererachel!) you might have heard of my upcoming trip to London! I'm super excited as I haven't been in years, and I love it. It's just a 3 day stay to celebrate my birthday, but I'm also hoping to apply for some London Fashion Week invites- wish me luck!

Hey everyone,
In my latest post about the blanket cape trend, I mentioned how I picked up this beaut- so finally, here's how I styled it! I bought it in the Warehouse section in Clerys Department Store with a press day voucher, and I'm honestly in love with it. It's such a wearable and timeless piece, and I can see myself featuring it in a lot of outfits this season! The knee-high boots actually belong to my Mam, as does the necklace, but I'm really lusting after a pair of over the knee boots. They just look amazing with these kind of capes, in my opinion! However, these vintage boots are super comfortable and in perfect condition.
I only just realised how thick my hair looks in these photos- agh! I'm booked in to get my hair done tomorrow, so I'm hoping it turns out ok. I'm going for a colour change.. nothing major, but watch this space!

Hey everyone!
Finally nice to see that we're getting some good weather! Although it's warm, the sun is still trying to urge it's way through those typical Irish clouds. It was my cousin's communion yesterday and below is the outfit I wore to it. I can't remember the name of the shop I got the dress in [it was a local one] but I do remember it was as little as €10 last year! Last Summer, I had a small obsession with feather earrings, so as you can see the feathers have made their return [although debut to this blog]. Hope you like it!

Wedge sandals- Heatons

Hey everyone!
Today I went to the Vintage Fashion and Decor Fair in the Burlington Hotel in Dublin. It was brilliant! They had everything from the roaring 20's to the 80's, and there was so many people dolled up. With over 50 stalls, there was plenty of vintage fashion and bits and bobs to choose from. Rather then rambling on, I think its better to show the photos!
