How to dress a tulle skirt!

FashionMy Style

IMG_5731

It was all the rage last year and still sticking around this year but perhaps in darker colours…none the less the tulle skirt is here to stay!

I love a tulle skirt, always have a princess moment when I throw one on!! Notions!!! haha This beauty is from Hazel Comyn design. Hazel an Irish designer has amazing pieces and will be featuring her new collection at Cork Fashion week in the next few weeks. Find more beautiful pieces here

They are so feminine and can be worn anyway and still look fabulous. In this post and the next, I’ll share how I dress mine!!

IMG_5751

I love to throw sweatshirts or jumpers over them. And this is one of my favourite ways to wear them. Because a tulle is so dressy its nice to throw something casual on with them (If you don’t want to go all out!!). The beauty about Hazels tulle skirts is you can turn them inside out and wear it as a satin skirt, so its like getting two skirts for one!! Amazing!

IMG_5760

I paired it with this Penneys boat neck fine knit jumper, its just so comfy, goes nicely with the skirt as its not too fussy, just nice and plain. The earrings are parfois for €7.99. Hair was by the fabulous Aisling Kelleher who is a Freelance Bridal & Event hair specialist, I mean she literally done this upstyle in 2 mins no joke!! Shes amazing…find Aisling’s details here

The shoes are old from New Look (Bit dressy for this outfit but I would also pair flats or white sneakers with this look) Similar heels here

Hope you guys like the look!

Until next time

Casual Series: Jeans from day to night

FashionMy StyleUncategorized

IMG_5694

Everyone loves jeans, not only because they go with absolutely everything but are easy to dress up or down

So I couldn’t do a post on jeans,without showing you how to dress from day to night…I had my flats on with these earlier in the day (see previous posts for nude flats ) but by popping on a pair of heels on in the evening I’m ready for a night out!

rsz_20160922_163035_resized

This Bomber is from  Vanilla Boutique and was reduced to €35, its perfect with jeans for day or night time. Its got embellished details running it through it which makes it a little bit dressier. I guess that’s one reason why I love bomber jackets too, they go with everything. Check out a previous post I did a few weeks back on some of my favourite bombers here

rsz_20160922_163004_resized

A closer look of the embellishments running through it!

Popping a pair of heels can transform any outfit, these heels were a bargain from Littlewoods at €15 which you can find here

Jeans are just super to throw on with any top/jumper/jacket and head out the door, These ones again are the penneys jeans but some of my all time favourite pair of jeans are Salsa and Zara jeans.

Hope you like this post as much as I did shooting it

Casual Series: Jeans Part 2

FashionMy Style

What a day guys, its been 90..none the less I said I’d follow up on this casual series, so here it is another casual look from my wardrobe

IMG_5712

So this is me casually lingering around pink walls!! Ha kidding..(Pic Emer @Irishfashaholic)…the whole outfit is Penneys best!!

From Shoes to Sweatshirt. I love this look as its so simple and easy to wear, great for running after my 2 year old rugrat, and flying around all day. The jumper I have paired with skirts and even a tulle for a nighttime look (Stay tuned for that one!)

IMG_5722

The jeans again are from Penneys (Primark) and are called “Boyfriend jeans”. Although in my opinion they are more fitted. They cost €15.

 IMG_5720

The jumper has a slashed neck which sits low on the shoulder, its so comfortable, its also slightly fitted on the bottom not giving it too slouchy a look!

rsz_img_5722 (2)

The heels again are Penneys (Primark) and are €11.

IMG_5710

Overall its a nice casual look for a lazy relaxing day, and grey is so big this season!

Hope you liked it

Until next time

The casual series: Jeans Part 1

FashionMy Style

Hey Guys

Another week and the cold weather is starting to creep in …with the odd mild day thrown in to try and completely confuse us all and make us unsure as to what to wear!! Its hot its cold!! I’m an Eskimo, wheres my bikini all in one day..Ok a little bit of an exaggeration but you catch my drift!

So for that reason alone, I figured I’d do a few casual looks to take you through the autumn weather…just simple looks. This first look below is one of my “go to” outfits as its just so easy to throw on but still looks nice.. I generally wear this on a week day to drop the kids to school or nip into town for one of my many shopping browses 🙂

IMG_5677

The beauty of this outfit is they are all standard pieces that you should have in the wardrobe. The navy blazer can go with anything apart from jeans,  pair it with dresses, tapered trousers, skirts, its a must have!

0142974105_0_6

Stripes are a fail safe option for any outfit, I love this top its from Cos (one of my favourite brands for casual gear, doesnt reshape in the wash even after a 100 washes! Result!) it goes with a lot of items in my wardrobe. I have paired it with a couple of skirts and other items apart from regular blue jeans. For €19 you can purchase here

IMG_5683

These jeans are penneys best…they are called boyfriend jeans but are more a skinny type style..I love them as they are so comfortable and even after every wash they don’t go out of shape..for €15 I’ll take it!!

rsz_20160919_173123_resized

The flat nude heels are Penneys for €11.

IMG_5680

And the bag was also penneys…seriously what would we do if Penneys didn’t exist?? This blazer is one i picked up a few months ago in Zara, their blazers are unreal and the quality is amazing! Similar blazer here

I’ll have other casual looks with jeans in the next few days so stay tuned!

Hi Everyone,

This season its all about the detail, inspiration for designers has been taken from the street, sport, film, fantasy, fairytale, modern art and miltary hence the highstreet has us spoilt for choice!

Oriental Print!

Take inspiration from the far east and add a touch of Orient to your wardrobe. Think floral,silken fabrics, and bright prints. There is plenty of this trend on the highstreet so its time to embrace this beautiful decadent trend.

Mad Metal!!

This trend is taking the fashion industry by storm, from footwear, to dresses. Wearing this metallic can be tricky so keep accessories to a minimum and if your going with metallic footwear keep the remaining outfit simple and casual. Think “sci fi fi”looks when it comes to this trend…not for the faint hearted!

Gothic Glam/Femme Fatale!

Gothic glam or the dark femme fatale is dominating the trends for Autumn/Winter. Floaty layers of sheer blacks, Glam goth with lace edgings and layers. Its about the sheer and lace and if you are to invest in one thing make it a sheer/lace top/blouse that can be worn with both denim and evening wear. With this trend keep the neckline high in tops and dresses and not only can you go dark black, try oxblood and midnight blues.

Bomber Jackets!

Bomber jackets are having their moment this year and are continuing to dominate the Autumn/Winter. The jacket doesn’t have to be a one hit wonder either, it can be worn with anything…jeans, tulle skirts, a mini dress with thigh high boots(which are also on trend for this season!) It doesn’t have to be a plain bomber either although the neutral colour palette will allow you wear it with anything. I’m particularly loving the embellished Bomber at the moment but then I am a bit of a magpie!

At the other extreme is the novelty bags with their quirky stamps and stars!

Vintage Series ..the final look!

FashionFashion and Beauty Blog

IMG_5305

Aw its the final look of the Vintage series. I absolutely adored this collaboration with @MissDaisyblue and Emer @Irishfashaholic. It was so much fun and I adore vintage clothes. A beautiful piece is a beautiful piece it doesn’t matter what era its from. Beauty never fades!

IMG_5319

This top is divine and far far prettier in real life. The material (although you can’t see it) is almost sheer and see through and so delicate against my skin. I loved the frilling on the sleeves and necklace. Such a feminine look.

IMG_5322

I paired this vintage top from Miss Daisy blue with white jeans and nude heels. The jeans are River Island and you’ll find it here

IMG_5315

Vintage is so easy to upstyle girls and I hope after featuring this vintage series from Miss Daisy blue I have convinced you that its not only unique to wear vintage not to mention fashionable but very easy to wear in the current season.

Hope you enjoyed these post again thank you to Emer Irish Fashaholic and Breda Miss Daisy Blue. Go visit their store even if its just to play dress up you won’t be disappointed.

Until next time
