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: 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

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.

Pic:Emer +Irish Fashaholic 

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.

Pic: Emer +Irish Fashaholic 

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.

Pic: Emer +Irish Fashaholic 

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

River Island high summer 2016

Hey Ladies,

On Wednesday I was lucky enough to be invited to preview River Islands High Summer Collection...the sun was shining in busy Dublin city center and I was dreaming of long evenings..holidays, Ice cream and everything else that comes with sunny weather!

So when I popped into River Islands Press room, my mind set was already on a beach in a fab bikini (lets not think about the bikini body or lack of it for now..mid scoffing of Fudge bar as we type!!) sipping on pina colada!! So I was sold on their Summer Collection as I spotted beautiful swimwear draped on their walls!!

The collection is beautiful,  Vibrant colour, texture and trim details are key features this season – fresher, bolder and wearable as ever, the collection encapsulates everything needed for a Summer wardrobe.

Transitioning in to high summer CARMEN continues with a palette of white, black and red. The trend comprises feminine and pretty with latina influences for a new-romantic peasant vibe

Clean and smart dressing with a nod to nautical is apparent through SPA SEA, focusing on smart dressing, crisp white tailoring, against frayed finishes and raw edgings for a rustic yet contemporary feel.

LE CHIC has an artisan feel with a classic and sophisticated approach to utility dressing. Mixing contrasting fabrications for a contemporary look; suede, nylon and leather are combined.Le Chic offers beach to bar pieces in a rustic palette using natural fabrics for a relaxed and casual style

With a mash up of inspiration, ETIENNE fuses 90’s sport with seventies chic the perfect alternative to festival dressing, steering away from bohemian and fringing, instead focusing on embellishment, crochet and lace.   

Overall River Island High Summer collection is vibrant and fun and offers something to suit everyone's style...

Cant wait to get my hands on all of the above, and look uber cool while sipping on cocktails by the beach!! Whose with me!

Until next time

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
