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.
