FashionFashion and Beauty Blog

Right! I’m here hanging up the Christmas tree but dreaming of Summer!! Don’t get me wrong I adore Christmas and the silly season..but I’m blaming Penneys Ā in fact they have a lot to answer for šŸ™‚

I just cannot stop thinking about the amazing collection we saw the other day at their Spring Summer launch for 2017…I want to fast forward to Summer right now..the metallics, studs, embroidery was splashed on every piece of clothing you could spot at the launch and it was amazing!!!

There is so much choice coming and beautiful pieces, lots of soft pastels and nautical themes…stripes are huge too!

Gingham design in dresses and tops are creeping in..and bold mustard colours, and watch out for that delicate embroidered lace which I’m still dreaming about. It is divine!

We were so spoilt, not only with the collection but all the lovely yummy treats on the day including ice cream…now who doesn’t love ice cream on any given day?

The studded embroidered leather jacket was by far my favourite piece and I cannot wait for it to launch in all stores…I’m sure this beaut will be gone in a flash so we better move quick!!

Obvious I couldn’t do justice to all the beautiful pieces so here’s a better look of what is to come!

A little dress for all occassions!

FashionMy Style

We have that one dress we keep in the wardrobe that we can pull out for an occasions, and I’m not talking about a dress for a wedding etc. I’m talking about that one dress you can pull out if you have a family reunion dinner, a christening, a communion, or any type of occasionĀ like that…more like a day time dressy occasion, (that is not a wedding) as we all have those type of events..

So I wanted to show you my one….and this is it! The one I’ll be pulling out of the wardrobe for any such occasion….

IMG_5795

The beauty about this dress is it looks like a skirt and top but its all in one…I can literally throw it on and head out the door. I love the easiness of it.

IMG_5823

Its a full navy coloured, swan design skirt and you can pair it with any type of heels…The back is button down which makes it that tiny bit different.

IMG_5828

Its a shirt type material on top which makes it very breathable and so comfy.

IMG_5806

The beauty of this dress girls is its on sale at the moment. This dress is fromĀ Vanilla BoutiqueĀ . You can also wear these type of dresses for any occasionĀ here, hereĀ here, &Ā here

Heels were Littlewoods as before and Earrings Parfois.

Keeping it girlie with a Bomber jacket

Fashion and Beauty BlogMy Style

IMG_5836

Previously I posted a fab bomber jacket from Vanilla Boutique, and I think I’m currently having a love affair with bombers lately.

They are so easy to just thrown on over anything…this time round I threw them on with a cute skirt, and anything that’s not to hard to dress up or down is always a winner in my books!

IMG_5844

 

This bomber I picked up in new look in the sale for ā‚¬18, couldnt just leave it there at that price. its a lovely comfy bomber, and the material is soft and breathable not stiff! Some sizes availableĀ here.

IMG_5839

The skirt is so comfy and its a fine knit kick out hem skirt from Penneys, there are still some available at the moment. Fringe boots are oldies from Dunne Stores. But you can find similarĀ here.

IMG_5835

The black jumper underneath is Zara which I picked up last year but its a basic piece so they restock it every season and you’ll find it online here.

My hair was styled by the fabulous Aisling all her details areĀ hereĀ and I popped a hairband in from New Look that cost me ā‚¬4.99, my latest obsession by the way!!

All pics were by the Emer Irish FashaholicĀ  whose talents are never ending..

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did shooting these pics

Cork Fashion Hub ..What I wore

FashionMy Style

What a weekend ladies!!Phew Half dead after it šŸ™‚

It was so quick but great fun….as you know from my snaps (@pamsfashion) Friday kicked off with Cork Fashion week.

It was a fantastic night in the Castlemartyr Hotel, with some amazing new Irish Designers showcasing their creations but I’ll have more on that later..

rsz_dsc_1247

I know a few of you were asking about my outfit for Day 2 of Cork fashion week, which was the Fashion Hub at Cork Opera House. So here’s the details!

I wore a coat from Vanilla Boutique, for more details contact the girls hereĀ  its a stunning piece and can also be worn as a dress.

rsz_dsc_1245

I popped a studded gold belt that I got a few years ago in mango around the waistband. The cuffs on this piece are so unique and matched the gold of the belt.

rsz_dsc_1326_2

The cuffs are almost like separate bracelets, I love them! The bag was a gift from my husband.

rsz_dsc_1249

The pants are Freddy jeans and you can buy themĀ here

I will have a couple of more blog posts on Cork Fashion week with all the details on what we got up too.

Thanks to everyone for all the messages

Until next time

Pleated skirts…keeping it semi casual!

FashionMy Style

IMG_5892

Pleated skirts are everywhere….similar to the tulle skirt…although not as fuller a skirt.

I love the pleated skirt, I was afraid of it at first as I always thought it would make my hips look larger than they were, but the way they have designed them with more of a floatier feel in the material, tends to sit better on my shape.

IMG_5853

The skirt is penneys and sits lovely, it feels so comfortable too, Asos are currently during a similar oneĀ here

IMG_5908

In fact the whole outfit is penneys apart from the headband which is new look and heels as before from Littlewoods for ā‚¬15Ā here, the jumper is current stock and can be worn larger or neater which I went for, as my skirt was quiet floaty.

IMG_5859

As I said I paired it with nude heels but for an even more casual look you could pair it with white trainers and it would still look good

How to style a tulle skirt: Part 2

FashionMy Style

IMG_5780

Following up from my previous post on Tulle skirts, here’s another option and how I style mine! This is most definitely a more dressier take!

A tulle skirt always needs a little bit of sparkle to dress it up…now as you well know I’m guilty of this!! (The tulle skirt is as before from @Hazel Comyn designs)

My wardrobe would make a magpie proud…its insane, my husband is bewildered with the amount of loose sequins he finds on his clothes etc! But who can resist?

IMG_5791

This sequin piece is a cape that I picked up months back on Asos. I had no idea where I needed it for but I knew I loved it and had to have it! Low and behold it goes fabulously with a lot of pieces in the wardrobe. For ā‚¬45 it was a bargain and you’ll find Ā a few similar onesĀ here

IMG_5788

This is such a fun outfit, the plain white top underneath is penneys picked it up for ā‚¬5 before summer, and it goes perfectly with the cape. Because there is so much detail in the cape you need to keep everything underneath plain and simple.

IMG_5749

The shoes are the same as the previous post and are an old pair from new look, but similarĀ here

Again hope you like this look

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 Ā Vanilla BoutiqueĀ and was reduced to ā‚¬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 bombersĀ here

rsz_20160922_163004_resized

A closer look of the embellishments running through it!

IMG_5695

Popping a pair of heels can transform any outfit, these heels were a bargain from Littlewoods at ā‚¬15 which you can findĀ 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.

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 ā‚¬15.

Ā 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 ā‚¬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

Trending this Autumn/Winter 2016

FashionFashion and Beauty Blog

Hi Everyone,

So another season and more trends…and with that in mind what should one wear for the coming Autumn/Winter? There is lots of gorgeous bits and choice around for 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!

Khaki Staples!

Whether its an army shirt, parka or utility trousers, every girls should own a military inspired piece this season. Such an easy trend to wear. Team Khaki shirts with Denim and a pair of killer heels! Don’t forget to add those statement accessories!! You’re in the Army now!

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.

rsz_gothic_glam

Zara Stiletto Heel sandals ā‚¬39.95 availableĀ here, Topshop double strap v cami ā‚¬20, River Island black lace hem duster jacket ā‚¬55, availableĀ here, River Island Khaki satin lace hem mini skirt ā‚¬37 availableĀ here

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!

Bag it up!!

Loving the burst of colour and fresh new styles that has landed in our highstreet stores.Not to mention the simple shape bags around that have muted tones with minimal fuss (the mustard bag in the center is a perfect example of this trend!). At the other extreme is the novelty bags with their quirky stamps and stars!
