Wedding fever ...calls for Wedding guest outfits

Hey Girls

Hope you're all having a super week, so wedding season/fever is upon us and that calls for a panic/frenzy about what to wear!! Even if you don't have a wedding coming up most of you may have a races event..so definitely a nice occasion dress is always a must have in the wardrobe!

Some gorgeous ones out there at the moment and here's a few that caught my eye

Love this bardot floral number, its very flattering too, with the shape of the dress. I've paired it with understated accessories, such as silver heels & clutch as the dress itself has vibrant colours running through it. You can also pair this with a pink one strap sandal (New look has this) and keep the clutch plain silver as pink heels and a pink clutch might be a little over powering! The dress should be the statement piece. Dress is available here for €105.63, shoes €27.99 available here, earrings €18 available Here, and diamante clutch available here

Loving this little number I'm a magpie when it comes to embellishments, this one is Frock and Frill so a little more expensive but I love the layers on it, not only is it suitable for a wedding its perfect for a special night out. You can find this here for €175, Sequin clutch €29.99 available here, heels from New Look as before, Drop Earrings €10 here

I love the playfulness of this little dress, I know you can also buy similar skirts and tops and pair them together but this is an all in one dress, click on the link for a better look as the floral detail on the hem and neckline isnt showing in this picture and its fab. Its €169 (again a bit more expensive but tops and skirts together would cost that also) and its available here,  Clutch available from House of Fraser sold out online, heels €67 available here, earrings €8 available here.

A jumpsuit is always a lovely alternative and because its summer I went with a brighter floral colour this is fab and can certainly be worn to a wedding, click on the link for a better pic its beautiful and if you like to take risks and wear something different, this is definitely one for you, its €67.50 and available here, I've paired it with Rose gold one strap heels which you'll find for €39.44 available here, Envelope bag Dorothy perkins for €24 sold out online but available in store. Stud earrings Dunne stores and river island have similar here.

My favourite of all the dresses love the girlishness of this dress its so pretty. What I love even more is the price of this dress, at €87.23 you can find it here, heels €29.58 available here. Clutch bag Dorothy Perkins €35.

This Dress is quiet simple and classic, its a great number to have as you can pull any colour from the dress and accessorize it, I paired it with navy heels and a powder blue bag, personally I find matching a coloured bag to same colour heels can be too matchy matchy unless its a neutral colour, but that's just me. The dress is €53.52 and available here, The navy heels are €35.20 available here, Blue oval clutch bag €25.35 available here, Ear Cuff Earrings €25.35 available here

Some people prefer not showing their legs and rather long dresses, this one above is lovely and flowy and I love the two tone colours, aren't the heels fab too?? The dress is €133.80 available here, heels are €70.42, available here, Earrings are €7.99 available here, Rose gold bag €39.49 available here

Sometimes just a plain coloured dress is nice and easy to pull together heels and accessories, this coral dress is  €40.84 and available here, rose gold heels as above, Floral clutch (loving this) is €24.99 and available here. 

I have this dress and I love it, although I purchased mine elsewhere (whitefawn boutique) its also available here for €53.52. The nude clutch is €16 available here, Nude heels are €32 available here, Stud earrings River Island available instore sold out online

So there is just a few options ladies, I could have picked thousands more but I will do a seperate one for the races soon as there is some other beautiful dresses around that I couldn't showcase here due to their colour or appropriateness for a wedding so stay tuned for more...

Until then my lovelies 

Have a great week

My style my way & my endless affair with Jumpsuits .. Love them!

Hey Ladies

Can you believe its almost the weekend again..love it! This weekend I'm off gallivanting to London cant wait..while packing I was trying to figure out what to bring. I wanted something I could wear while casually pottering around the streets of London, but would take me from day to night with one quick change from flats to heels.

Straight away I thought of my Jumpsuits! They are perfect for rolling into a "carry on bag" and take up little or no space, so absolutely their coming in my bag..this particular one below is neatly tucked into the suitcase!

I love a good jumpsuit and when I spotted this Utility Khaki one I had to have it! I picked it up from Asos. It's from New look and I nabbed it for less than €24, unfortunately its all sold out but you can find similar ones here, here and here 

Shot by Emer +Irish Fashaholic 

This cape is my go to jacket, Its from my ultimate favourite boutique Folkster it was a gift from my husband, (this is becoming a bit of a trend these gifts from the hubbie..but he did and I love it) find similar here, here or here.

A closer look at the cape and Jumpsuit along with shoes, which are New Look and available here, or similar here. Glasses are from a spanish designer Roberto I picked up on Holidays.

I love the fact that the legs you can roll up and I will definitely be pairing them with cons too during the summer.

I love any kind of jumpsuit, they are super chic and so so comfy, although lets not mention having to use the toilet, that's where some jumpsuits can get tricky ..still love them though! 

And in the next few weeks I'll pull together a few of my favourite style of Jumpsuits

Have a great weekend everyone 

Until next time

Culottes.. And how to wear them

Hey my lovelies, 

Hope all of you enjoyed the weekend, wasn't it great to have a nice long one??

We'd great fun despite the weather...consumed copious amounts of easter eggs!! 

I don't know about you guys but I am loving the culottes at the moment...bear with me though, as the first time I spied them in the stores before christmas, my first reaction was hell no!! Whose going to wear them? Fast forward to March, and I've answered my own question, I'm wearing them!

I love mine, I bought a fab khaki/beige pair in Zara and they are the most comfortable pair, nice and warm and look great with a pair of heels and jumper/top.

Now I know Culottes are not for everyone..cue my sister's sniggers when I bought a pair..in her words " Ive been transported back to my 20's!" but when she saw me wearing them she seemed to change her mind!!

I've pulled together some looks for you and ideas on how to style them...

I love them...now can I convince you?

With Culottes the idea is to keep it simple, wear an oversize jumper or simple tops

Love these culottes from Coggles and for €45 you cant beat that price, available here, striped Jumper Zara €29.95, instore and online here, or similar in Topshop here, Zara heels €49.95 available here.

Look 2, is to show you these culottes look great for an office look, the above culottes are Zara €39.95 and availabe instore and here, Cream Shirt is Zara again and €29.95 here, Flat shoes Zara €39.95 available here, or pair them with nude heels, these are Littlewoods for €24, available here.

This look is great for a date night, lunch with the girls or to wear to work, it works with any of these events. Look 3, Zara grey sweater €12.95 available here, or similar here, Grey heels New Look €32.99 available in stores and here, Metallic flat heels €39.95 from Zara here and Dunnes have exact same pair. White culottes River Island €50 available in store and here.

Love this look above, would be nice for a communion or confirmation or any event, its something different but still quiet nice...Culottes are from Zara €39.95 available here, Flat ballerina heels €25.35 available here, Floral Cardigan Oasis €49 available here, Nude heels Dune on Asos reduced to €32.39 selling fast available here.

Love this look for a nightout pair a cami underneath (either a cream or a black one) and it looks fab... Culottes again from Zara for €29.95, available instore or here, Flap over clutch Asos €39.44, available here, Bomber jacket Zara €49.95 available in store and online here, Heels €42.24 from Asos here

And finally as the summer is coming, culottes are a nice alternative to white jeans, love this look and particularly the top. Look 6 Top from Topshop available instores and online here. Tan heels €34 from Boohoo here, Tan bag Zara €39.95 available in store and online here. White culottes €39.95 from Zara available in store and online here.

So that's my take on culottes and how I would style them, like I said you either Love or Loathe them. I love them but whats your take on this trend?

Have a great week guys

Communion or confirmation outfit ideas

 Hey Ladies

So I had a lot of private messages from you guys looking for this post.

Communion and Confirmation is tricky for outfits, as even though the day is all about your child, you still want to look nice for your child's big day, not to mention the photos that will be there long after the day is over!!

For me, I think its important to look dressy, yet not look too "over the top". Its also good to purchase something that you will wear again. Whether its a coat you can wear time and time again, a top/skirt/trousers for a night out or dinner, something you can pull out of the wardrobe for another event.

Not only that, you want a look that is Elegant, Classy and demur!

I love this look, the blush colour is always romantic I think and soft, the nude and white coat is lavish Alice one of my favourite labels its €115.08 and you can purchase here, Nude heels are Littlewoods, €24.99 available here, Top as before Chicwish, €36.29, available here, beige leather skirt €29.95 from Zara here .

Black and White is always a good combo, this look is chic, Tailored and elegant, and something you will wear again ...The Cape is Lavish Alice and €74.14 available here, Tailored Jumpsuit is  Asos €70.42, available here, Patent black heels €60 available at River Island in stores and here.

Again more blush pinks, only as this colour is huge for spring/summer, dress is available in Love Cherish Boutique here or here  €80.60, Zara White Frock Coat €59.95 available here & strappy sandals €49.95 available here 

 

Girls this dress in the picture does not do it justice, I've seen this in person and the colours are divine, its a gorgeous dress and you don't necessary have to wear a white blazer with it, but you could wear a blush pink/beige or navy blazer/coat with it, its beautiful.. I just kept the colours neutral as the dress is colourful. Dress & Heels are both Zara. Dress is €49.95 here Sand wrap around sandals €49.95 available here (Navy heels would go with this too!). White cape €76.05 available here, navy version too here.

Again another dress from Zara (they really have some fab dressy stuff at the moment) its fab on and is €59.95 available here, Coat €89.95 and Bag €39.95 are Zara here & here. Shoes River Island €87 here

 

Blush dresses are everywhere this one is fab from Zara along with the coat and the dress is €59.95 available here. Coat €79.95 available here, Bag River Island €25 available here, New Look strappy heels €49.95 available in store and here.

For those who would like something unusual but yet still classy, this tailored cape Jumpsuit from Lavish Alive is beautiful €74.34 and available here, Bag is New Look €14.99 available here, Strappy heels €55 available in store and here. 

Another simple look and quiet striking, all it would need is a little black blazer thrown over it...Lace blouse is Zara €29.95 available here, River Island Fringe Stiletto Heels €77 here, Fold over Cream bag €15 Asos.com, Skirt River Island here 

Still sticking with monochrome and navy & white...I popped this jacket on my facebook page the other day and I love it, its so nice on and I loved the ruched sleeves, its from River Island €80 available in store and here, navy leather block skirt €43 available here, Navy heels Zara €49.95 available in store and here, White Camisole River Island €22 available here.

This dress has to be my ultimate favourite I absolutely love it...its available at Love Cherish Boutique details here and Bella Dungarvan contact details here, It is so demur and just gorgeous, Shoes are from Littlewoods €24.99 as before and the clutch is €28.13 available from Asos here

  Like this colour palette outfit white and grey this dress is quiet cute...Dress is from €80.60 available here, Long white blazer €69.95 from Zara available in store or online here. Grey strappy heels New Look €29.99 available here.

Both these dresses are Little Mistress and are €83.60, you can purchase these here and here. New Look strapy heels €44.99 available here. Silver heels New Look available in store and here reduced to €17 so grab a bargain quick. 

Love this dress..its from Verso and available here €89, This is gorgeous and a black blazer over it would be perfect too...

So the lovely ladies who had requested this post I hope this helps you and you are armed with an idea of what to wear...either way have a ball and enjoy the day, you ll look fabulous!
