Summertime tops

FashionMy Style

Summertime tops are being pulled out and bought galore by me that is..There’s nothing nicer than tops that you can wear with white jeans or shorts and that are breathable!

Ones that you can throw on for a summer barbecue or a day time look . And that will pass as a night time look if you plan on staying out late!! Not asking for much am I? I love those kind of tops and this one is just the perfect one for that kind of occasion!

This stop was a steal from Zara and I love that there is lovely little subtle detailing on the neckline and Sleeve and hem line. It has fab bell sleeves and the lace embroidered detail is beautiful.  You can see the top in more detail here

I paired this top with white jeans  from River Island (old stock) as its gives it a great summery look and the heels are New look which you’ll find here.

The open back is lovely too again subtle but elegant details!

This top can be easily worn with shorts too and what I love about it is that its such a dressy simple look. Its the perfect summer top as the material is mainly made out of cotton and very breathable!It has an uneven hem as in it dips at the back again another thing I love about it. Covering everything so I don’t ask the question  does my bum look big in this 🙂

The pics were taking by my talented brother Derek and a huge thank you to the Sheraton Athlone Hotel for allowing us use one of their stunning rooms with amazing views, if you are ever looking for a hotel in the midlands then this is definitely one hotel you need to book!

If you have any questions about the look please feel free to message me. This top is one of my favourites at the moment and such great value!

Hope you liked it

Until next time

A Simple but chic daytime look

FashionMy Style

A simple but chic daytime look is my main priority these days…perhaps with a preschool and school run my wardrobe just doesn’t seem to allow for anything else!

But casual does not have to be boring..and with summer coming it can be fun playing around more with casual looks. Hence why the white jeans are being pulled out!! Its totally acceptable to wear them in the summer months even if the weather isn’t sunny!

Because of being a busy mum, comfort and casual are priority but i also find shopping local is easier for me!! And luckily I have a lot of beautiful Irish owned boutiques on my doorstep, who also stock affordable pieces.

Both these items the white jeans and the shirt are from a local boutique called Hickeys Fashion Fermoy..I always like to have a browse around this store as they have some gorgeous pieces. They cater for all ages and  in more recent times, their price point has changed and is amazing value for good quality casual and dressy pieces. They stock French connection which is what I’m wearing above. They also stock other young brands which are a little more edgy and different which is why I love pottering into Hickeys! The girls in the store are unbelievably helpful and so friendly and nothing is a problem! And I love how well laid out the store is..you can see everything!

I love this shirt and the fact its not fitted or has buttons from top to bottom is perfect. I find it hard sometimes to get a shirt that one button doesn’t pop open or stretch across the breast area. With this top you wont have that problem. Also its a great top after giving birth or if you are trying to hide the first three months of pregnancy!! (I am not by the way :-))

The top is great quality and the detailing on the collar is beautiful, its lace! I also love the back of it too and the lenght of it just covers your bum area nicely.

At €78 its great value and I have a feeling I will get plenty of wear out of this one!! I have since washed it and it doesnt loose it shape whatsoever. There was so much choice in Hickeys for Tops I wanted the whole lot but I think I’d probably be divorced if I bought everything!!

The white jeans are so comfy and are extremely soft, they don’t feel like denim at all and they have a lovely shape and are mid rise!

I paired them with a tan heel which is from New Look (but old season) but similar here and the Michael Kors bag was a gift from my hubbie.

Its a great day time look and you could easily pop a pair of white shorts with this in hotter weather or pair it with blue jeans and it would look super..I definitely think you could wear this look for evening drinks too!

If you are ever around near Hickeys in Fermoy, do pop in as you will be pleasantly surprise with what they have to offer and I am telling you now, you will not leave empty handed…

Put a bow on it!

FashionMy Style

Put a bow on it …loving this pencil skirt..

With its high waisted fit and bow to cover a multitude over the tummy area this dress is a dream.. I had been oowing and ahing over a similar skirt I spotted in Coast that was featured on Olivia Palermo, but its was that little bit too expensive for me. So when I spotted this one on Asos I simple had no hesitation in purchasing.

The colours are beautiful and its easy pair it up with any type of top. The one I’m wearing here is from Vanilla Boutique its old but I have found similar here from IClothing for €24.95..online here

The skirt is available here on Asos but is selling fast.

Apologies for the very little images but I have done a live video on this look and its available to view on my facebook page here

A huge thank you to Philip and the team at the Sheraton Hotel Athlone who allowed us shoot in this beautiful room, a better view on the video above.

Its an amazing hotel with beautiful views all over Athlone Town & the River Shannon, not to mention its attached to Athlonetowncentre, so plenty of shopping too which is even better!!

Pics by my talented Brother Derek Cassells and if you have any queries regarding the photography or video he created just message me.

Until next time

The Pretty Jumper

FashionMy Style

Jumper

The pretty jumper is always one I have in the wardrobe and replenish it over and over again..its handy for all types of seasons, but this particular one is handy for spring summer. This is the type of jumper you can wear with jeans, dressy tailored trousers, skirts or over dresses. The great all rounder!

I fell in love with this floral number the moment I saw it. I was thorn between two colours, the black or the white. But as its summer I felt the white would be more appropriate.

Its a really pretty delicate jumper. I am not normally drawn to florals but I do like this piece,  I think  the fact the florals are embroidered was the reason I liked it more. It is light weight so not too heavy.

A better look at the jumper. The tulle sleeves with embroidery make it that more elegant and delicate. The back is just plain which is nice as if there was more embroidery at the back of the top it would just become fussy! Its a lovely fit too and not at all baggy which is why I find it easy to pair it with dressy trousers and skirts. Its a nice neat fit. I picked it up from Vanilla Boutique I think from memory for €48. (Zara has similar in black here)

 I paired it with these noisy may jeans €34.99 I got from Born Clothing I find these jeans a lovely fit too and the best bit is I’ve washed them lots now and the black has barely faded! The shoes are my regular nude heels from Asos that I featured in previous posts.

I have featured this bag before but I wanted to give you a proper look at it ..I picked it up in TK Maxx and it was the best buy ever. Its so handy as a cross body bag and I can fit everything bar the kitchen sink into it …I have to say I love TK maxx for bags and Sunglasses (the pair I’m wearing are also from TK Maxx)

I hope you liked this look and  thanks for reading xx
