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

My style: Stripes are alright! Keep it simple!

Hey my lovelies, 

Yet another post on my style, my way..I have this secret obsession with stripes!! 

I can never get enough of them, but you know what? they are a must have for any wardrobe. Stripes in any type top or jumper are such a classic piece and never date! They look great with blazers, coats or paired with jeans. And their biggest advantage is they are so practical!

This one above, I had been lusting over for an age, and when in +Athlone Towncentre Shopping Centre , one day with my sister I spotted it back in stock. Its from Zara for €29.95, available here, I love the material, its a fine knit with a stretch in it and its so comfy.

The thing about this sweater that appealed to me most is the high neck on it. I'm not a huge fan of polo necks maybe because I don't have a long neck, so this type of style suits me better!

I know its coming into the Summer so the likelihood of getting lots of wear out of it in the next few months is slim, although it is Ireland and the Irish weather can be unpredictable. One things for sure, it will be pulled out of the wardrobe for autumn. 

The sunglasses are Guess, that I picked up in +TK Maxx, I swear by it girls, TK Maxx has a great selection of sunnies for fabulous prices, you just need to be quick! Those pair were €39.99!

A better look at the sweater, the back of it dips a little more in length than the front, which is a style I'm loving.

I paired the sweater with leather pants, and these ones I picked up in River Island a while back for €24 (I know!!) still some in stock but very little sizes (here) . If you are looking for a nice Leather pair then I would recommend the Freddy Leather pants (they are amazing and currently on my wishlist!)  available here.

The bag, no words needed really..this was bought as a gift from my brother on his travels a few years ago, he did good really didnt he? Its divine and one of my most coveted things in the wardrobe!

I kept the whole look casual by adding my adidas superstars, I love these, so comfy and great for casual wear...mind you not quiet sure how I kept them so white in this pic! You can find them here

I also gave this outfit a run for its money over in Paris too and was super for strolling around the pretty Parisian streets, casual yet stylish.

Hope you enjoyed this post

Until next time

My Style: Keeping it casual with addidas originals

Hi Girls

Now who doesn't love just throwing on a pair of trainers and keeping it casual.

With two little nippers I find myself reaching for flats on a daily basis. But wearing trainers doesn't have to look boring...Keeping things casual can look good too!

I love a nice jacket with trainers and jeans

This coat you have seen on my Instagram page so many times, yes I live in it but its so comfy.

I picked it up in Penneys a few months back and for €40 it was the best buy

So heres my current favourite Trainers..these are the addidas superstars..they are the comfiest pair and I love the gold on the addidas logo...you can purchase those here and here

I pair mine with crop jeans as it looks nicer! And Im such a shortie so crop always helps 

I've paired my trainers with Blue Denim Cropped Jeans from Stradivarius €19.95 here and Lace Bomber again Stradivarius €19.95 available here.

The top of the bomber is almost see through and nice and light so perfect for Summer. The chain which isnt as clear in this pic is from My shining Armour and available here, I love it as its so delicate.

The watch is Guess bought from Fields and I adore this Stella & Dot bracelet I bought from Leona here, the colours are perfect for the summer.

And finally I am having a strange obsession with Headbands lately...they are so handy if you just want to throw up your hair, when you're in a rush but still want it to look pretty..loving them!! This one above was a bargain from HM for €5.95,

So don't be shy about purchasing Trainers girls, as they are so easy to dress up and can look chic.

Hope you like my style and do tell me what's your favourite trainer? 

Had so much fun doing this shoot with the lovely @thetwodarlings and @leanmeanmomma, who are quiet the photographers!

Until next time my lovelies

Have a great week

Its either flats or a broken ankle when they're around ;-) so heels come out at night or child free days 😀

Have a great weekend x
