My Style: Bohemian chic ..this dress was under €20!

Hey Girls

Happy wednesday..So here's another one from my wardrobe for you. I love easy dresses, the kind of dress that you can literally throw on and head out the door, no fuss!

And I especially love dresses you can dress down or up with just a change of a shoe!

I have a thing for comfy dresses, the bohemian kind, the ones that are little bit unusual (but in a good way) and look like they are easy to wear. When I first saw this dress at +Athlone Towncentre Shopping Centre  I loved it..I didn't look at the price tag, it was the embroidered print and the nice shirt type material that caught my eye. Its so "my style" too so when I did peep that it was on sale +H&M for €15, there was no question I was getting it! There is still a small few available but its sold out online.(Other similar dresses are here here, and here.)

As you can see it has an embroidered design on the top part of the dress, almost Aztec print. The material is an outer shell material (Shirt material) and is just so easy to wear, its a light fabric and feels airy!

Its dipped at the back and slightly shorter at the front, a style I'm loving at the moment.

It has a drop waist so lots of room to hide any misgivings, its also perfect if you are just a few months pregnant (which can be an awkward stage to get any clothes, as regular clothes are too tight and maternity clothes just too loose) it has lots of room for a tiny bump or hiding anything you want hiding like me ha.

I paired this dress with heels as opposed to flats or wedges, I do have flats and wedges to match but I just liked high heels with this dress, its definitely a dress I'll be wearing for a girly lunch without the kiddies or midweek evening dinner/drinks.The heels I picked up a few months back but they are still available here along with my YSL bag my hubbie got for me..Im a lucky girl I know!

A Closer look at the bag...

And a better look at the heels 

And of course who doesn't have a few @Alex&AniIreland bracelets, I've three actually but working on getting more .. I love them and the meanings behind them. They are also made of sustainable products which is an added bonus.

Hope you liked this look as much as I had fun shooting it...again thanks to the fabulous @thetwodarlings and @leanmeanmomma for fun and photos,,with a little bit of babysitting thrown in 

Until next time girls

Have a lovely weekend

Blazer alert! & accessories that transform an outfit

Hey my lovelies

Blazers, a girl should as many hanging in their wardrobe as humanly possible..they are so practical and go with almost every outfit! 

A statement neck lace is another piece that you should have as 'must have'  accessory. 

I previewed this blazer on the blog before, for those who missed it,  this ones penneys 

It was €23 and still in stock. 

It goes with all types of colours and clothing and I literally have worn it to death.

Most blazers we tend to wear with casual outfits and its amazing what adding a statement neck piece can do to completely transform an outfit.

This Statement neckpiece I bought sometime ago from a lovely lady Emma from The Jewel Genie, it is just beautiful and gives any outfit a little lift.

The Blazer is worn with Tapered Trousers from River Island, but I've also worn this blazer with a tulle skirt and cami, or leather trousers, and it looks fabulous with jeans.

River Island Trousers available here, Tshirt: Penneys €9, Blazer Penneys €23, still in stock, similar available here, Shoes Carvela here. Sunglasses Parfois.

Following on from this post, I will pull together some looks for you, to demonstrate just how easy it is to use one blazer for numerous items of clothing in your wardrobe and pull a completely different outfit together using the same blazer over and over.

Until next time my lovelies 

Have a great weekend

My Style, My way..Black and white Staple pieces

Hey Ladies

Happy Tuesday, so I mentioned a while back on my facebook page, that I was changing my blog posts up a little. I'm quiet good at pulling looks together for blog posts but have never actually shared any looks of myself wearing things...I promised this year that I was going to start sharing my style with you guys. And not one to break a promise, here is my first ever shoot for you. 

Saturday I met with fellow blogger & Fashion Photographer Emer from Irishfashaholic, along with my friend and blogger Eimear from The Two Darlings, to collaborate together. (Stay tuned later to see what we collaborated on!)

We had so much fun working together and Emer has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to fashion, along with a fantastic eye for photography.

I was apprehensive about doing this photo shoot but she put me right at ease and helped me relax in front of the camera!

I kept the look simple...Classic Black & White staple pieces. 

Jacket: Penneys (still in stock) similar here, Tank Top: Only Ireland available here

Tapered Trousers: River Island available here

Everyone needs a staple piece in their wardrobes, and Blazers,  Black trousers along with a cami/black top should be the main things hanging in it...why you ask?? Because you can build a wardrobe around a staple piece...But I will follow up more on how to do this in a future post!

If your going with staple pieces, its nice to keep everything  classy, and simple.

Bag: Gift from Hubbie, 

Shoes: Carvela here and here

Close up of the Trousers and Blazer

I kept the accessories simple and wore a small delicate chain necklace

Karma Necklace: My shining Armour available here

(All photography by Emer @Irishfashaholic)

I hope you like this post as much as I did working on this project, stay tuned for more looks I will pull together that incorporates your classic staple pieces, essential to any wardrobe as they never date!

And don't forget to let me know what you think of the look above?

Until next time

Ok so this one has taken us by surprised, but have you noticed how the Bomber Jacket seems to be popping up all over the place at the moment...its amazing how fashion seems to evolve all the time, and items when you were younger seem to be coming back in fashion...Why aren't I a hoarder..I could have saved myself lots of money buying todays current trends haha albeit they have altered from the standard bomber in my younger years! 

I know there is a lot of the plainer colours of bombers knocking around but I quite like the embellished ones or patterned ones as you can style them with lots of things...

Don't believe me well have a look below. I am loving this look

Again a Needle and Thread beauty, which you can find in either Brown Thomas or here, I've paired it with this tulle skirt €79, from Verso here,  but you can pair it with a simple pair of white jeans too, Bag is €19 from Asos.
