Hey everyone! I went shopping today, and to be honest I haven't had the chance to dress up because of exams etc. So I used today as an excuse! Haven't worn my shorts in AGES, and maybe I'm a little crazy to be wearing a pair so early into Spring! In all fairness, the weather was quite mild today, so that was good.
We went into Dublin [we being me, my mum and my 11 year old sister, who I must throw out a mention to- she took the picture above!] as I wanted to by some new makeup. However, after buying some bits and bobs, we found this GORGEOUS market on Thomas St! It was called 'Ferocious Marcade- a bohemian indoor market' and ohmygod it was UHmazing. There was so many quirky stalls and cafés inside. I found this lovely vintage felt hat that I really want to save up for *sigh*
If you're in Dublin some time, you should definitely check it out!
Anyways, below are some more pics of my purchases, the marcade and my makeup.

Hey everyone!
I absolutely LOVE skirts, and Spring/Summer is definitely the season to wear them. Although this is a simple black skirt, I love it to pieces as you can dress it up or down, day or night. I bought it in Catch before Christmas, and you may have seen me wear it a few of my OOTDs. It is a bit big on me, I bought size 8-10, but it does have come with a belt. It's probably something in my wardrobe I wear the most these days!

OBSESSED with everything that could possible clarify as 'vintage' lately. Seriously. Ive been trying to recreate looks, spending hours on Pinterest oogling glamour girls from the nifty fifties and dont even get me started on Mr.Selfridge on tv.. I cant get enough!
Some where along this hype I decided to paint some vintage-esque floral print nails.
I used;
• lavender and coral nail polish
• pink, white and green nail art pens
• sally hensen base coat
You need a steady hand for this and patience! Paint your nails starting with the lavender on the thumb then alternating colours as you go. Put various similar sized white dots on the coral nails. On the lavender, paint a few oddly shaped (yes, I did just say oddly, they are flowers, no need for perfection!) and two green leaves out of each flower. There's a few tutorials on youtube if you search 'vintage nails' (I'm currently posting on my iTouch, supposed to be studying).
+ on to the second matter..
I was wondering what you readers think of my blog URL and name. Does it stick in your head? Easy to find? Easy to remember? I'm thinking of changing it but
only if people think it would be a good idea! I've noticed alot of popular blogs have names such as Thunder & Treads, Cashmere & Cupcakes. Not entirely sure what my ideas are but maybe..
• Leather and Lemonade
• Leather and Lace
• Vintage and Vuitton
• Velvet and Versace
.. or a mixture of any of the above. Iliteration seems to be key! Thoughts? Opinions? Advice?
