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

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

Dungarees... And not for 5 year olds

 Now hear me out on this post ...Dungarees are having their moment, this season. And I was a bit unsure at first....I had visions of a 30 plus something (me) dressed like a 5 year old or more like my own 4 year old!!!..nd this is certainly "not"a look I'm aiming for! When I spotted some black dungarees in New look last week, and These been sported around the streets of London by some extremely stylish ladies, I actually started to think, yes maybe these could work...with a little research and viewing some street styles, I can safely say, yes I'm sold..these black Dungarees look good!! I have come to the realisation, that in order to pull this look off you'll need all of the following; a kickass pair of high heels, narrow shaped leg style dungarees, great accessories and most importantly cover up!!

Have a peak of some of my favourites from other bloggers around...

Summer holidays...what to wear?

Hey Girls,

What kind of summer has this been? Disappointing I'd say...such a shame I had high hopes for my summer wardrobe after last summers performance but alas, we are sun deprived...in Ireland that is...

So if you're hightailing it off to sunnier pastures even if its just for a few weeks, here's some cute options for you...I sometimes like to avoid wearing shorts, (only sometimes ;-) ) its so hard at times to figure out what top to wear with them, plus it adds more packing into a limited carryon suitcase. And chances are half of the stuff will never see the light of day! Hence I've pulled together some cute dresses and playsuits that are quick and easy to pack giving you loads of space..AND you'll look good pottering around the streets or beachside when you don't want your body too exposed ...well me in that case...my body is somewhat far from bikini ready at this moment in time, (as I munch on a chocolate bikkie while writing this!!). When packing for holidays I like a casual, yet stylish look for daytime...

So have a peek below at some of the cute options available in stores at the moment ....
