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

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

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.

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.

Bomber jacket... This seasons jacket

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

In love with this bomber from Zara, gone on the wishlist, just to add to the other 100 things I have on it! Its just fab and although I have paired it here with a simple pair of jeans this would go with anything...You can get it here €49.95, Jeans are also from Zara €39.95 and available here, these cute lace up flats are from  River Island €37, available here.

And finally I couldn't not put these fabulous ones from Needle and Thread, they are divine...better start saving as they are a splurge!!

Asos leather flap over clutch €16.20 available here, Skirt from Topshop available here,  Needle and Thread Jacket available here or Brown Thomas, heels Carvela Barely there heeled sandals €77 from Asos here 

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.

So how do you feel about this look ladies?? I'm liking it once the Bomber has embellishments or embroidery, not too keen on plain ones. I know which looks my favourite so tell me what's yours?
