Vintage or is it?

FashionMy Style

Vintage or is it? Yes as you are aware I am a lover of vintage stores and I have found some unbelievable pieces in some gorgeous vintage boutiques here in Cork.

Do you ever get a moment when you try a piece on and you instantly fall in love!! I actually did a tiny little dance in the boutique when trying this beauty. Its so different and unique and totally me!!

I spotted this blouse in Eva May Vintage one day and after trying it on knew I had to have it…it was a little bit unique and reminded me of an Irish Designers piece.

When I bought the top and brought it home I kept thinking how it reminded me on one of my favourite Irish Designers Catriona Hanley. I remembered I admired and lusted over one of her pieces a year ago…obviously lusting was all I could do as I couldn’t afford the price tag at the time..but when  I scrolled through her facebook page low and behold I think by visiting one of my favourite vintage stores I might have accidentally nabbed that top that I had been lusting after, but for a fraction of the price at €69 …The resemblance is uncanny don’t believe me well check this pick out here

I love the detail in this piece, its such a stunning top. The layering of tulle is so pretty and the workmanship that went into it is unreal.

I paired this top with my leather Freddy jeans and nude heels as I wanted the blouse to stand out!! The freddy leathers you will find here

How amazing is the detail on the back too!! It has pearls sown onto button poppers and the detailing is out of this world.

When I asked the lovely Linda from Eva May where she bought the piece she told me she found it in a vintage boutique in Paris…so ladies it goes to show it pays to shop in Vintage stores ..I promise you, you’ll never know what you might find

Day to night tops!

FashionMy StyleUncategorized

littlewoods Top

Day to night tops are hard come by and when you find one my advise is nab it! This is a great one as its smart for during the day but equally as stylish for a night out with the girls straight after work!

Littlewoods Ireland

I love the lace in the top but I also love the white collar even more, it makes it the perfect day to night top. A monochrome look never dates and this top can be worn with tailored black trousers also. Its from Littlewoods Ireland and designed by none other than Myleene Klass its reduced here to €40.50 here.

Here’s a closer look at the top..it has see through sleeves and is see through half way down the back, its so elegant and the fit is true to size. The quality is excellent and very comfortable on. I have also worn this with blue jeans for a more casual look.

Freddy Leathers

Again I am living in this Freddy leather trousers, I can honestly say they were a great buy, I have got more than the price per wear on these. So I’d highly recommend them if you are even considering buying them. The heels are Penneys’ and a great buy as they go with loads in the wardrobe.  This top would look good tucked into a black skater skirt. To finish this look above, I always throw on a camel coat with it and it looks very smart and chic at the same time.

If you need any more details just ask you can pm on my facebook page here.

I hope you enjoyed this look.

A statement Coat

FashionMy Style

A statement coat is a key piece for any wardrobe at any age. It can be thrown over anything and look amazing. You could have your pj top on underneath and no one would know, a beautiful coat can hide anything underneath!!

I’m lucky I have quiet a few nice ones and they always come in handy when I’m not really feeling it with an outfit. Or I want to give an outfit that finishing touch before heading out the door. A statement coat will last forever too and always get noticed!! I don’t know how many times I’ve asked some of the girls at the school gates where they got their fabulous coats!! And you know what…. a statement coat is great to have if you are pregnant too!

The thing is you will get so much wear out of a good coat and our lovely Irish weather will make sure of it 🙂 Now I know its sunny in these pics but by god was it freezing and I was ever so glad we were shooting a coat!!

This Statement Coat is a cape and I absolutely love it…it was a complete surprise from my hubbie at christmas..now I badgered him into getting me a completely different coat from Zara (another one I love) because I had no idea he had already bought me this coat. Poor man heart broken with me!! The Cape is Jovanna London but unfortunately its sold out. But here are some beautiful coats that will outlast your wardrobe ! Try Here, here here, & here,

The blouse is a vintage blouse I picked up at EvaMayVintage who has amazing pieces so check her out as you will get one off beauties at her boutique. There are similar blouses here here, and here. The leather pants are Freddy leathers as before.

And the bag I picked up on depop which is a great app if you don’t have it..you can get some great bits on it.

Now I know Summer is coming but in my opinion, its always important to have a good quality tailored coat hanging in the wardrobe!

Pink is the new black!

FashionFashion and Beauty BlogMy Style

IMG_6979

I am loving the spring colours creeping in but in particular all those candy/bubblegum pinks and hot pinks. They are such a lovely change from black and perfect for Spring/Summer. In fact I love all the bright colours that pop up around this time of the year. And with this dull weather I find it really refreshing. I tend to purchase things now for the summer wardrobe too. Main reason being, we never really get much of a summer here in Ireland but I hate to wear dark colours during the summertime even if the weather feels like its confused and cold!! Hence its always a good idea to pick up bright jumpers/Tops/coats now

The thing about pink is it goes with absolutely everything blue jeans/black/grey jeans, oh and so perfectly with white!

IMG_6988

Not only am I loving the pink but I adore all things frills at the moment, this little beauty above is Savida. Its like a sweatshirt material which I love but it can be dressed up. Dunnes Stores have really improved their branding and their style of clothing. This is from the Savida brand, which would have been regarded as a little more expensive but believe it or not this was €30 and is still available online here

IMG_6987

I choose to wear mind with my black leathers but I’m planning on wearing these with white jeans when it becomes acceptable to pull them out and as the weather gets dryer!

IMG_6991

The bag was a gift from hubbie as before and the heels are penneys as before also (They are current stock and €16)

There is some gorgeous pink clothing for this season girls so dont be afraid to try it out. Plus there is different options of hues in the colour pink, so something to suit every complexion

My Style and a little boutique in the south east!

FashionMy Style

IMG_7153

Girls

You all know I’m all about affordable fashion and supporting local boutiques or not even local but Irish owned Boutiques.. I’ve said it so many times, everyone should pop into their local boutiques, you’ll be surprised what you’ll find and how inexpensive it can be…Everyone has this misconception that boutiques are expensive…yes some are but the majority of our Irish owned boutiques aren’t and you can find some lovely affordable pieces for any occasion. Times have changed and I have got some gorgeous pieces in the last few years from Irish owned Boutiques…

If you saw on my Facebook page the other night, I popped into a little gem of a shop located in the south east of Ireland, and discovered some beautiful pieces. In the thriving town of Dungarvan lies a Boutique called Signet-Boutique  it’s so pretty, they have an amazing collection and you’ll always find something that little bit special here. I’m lucky I visit Dungarvan a lot as my lovely sister lives there, so its hard not to pop into it when I’m visiting! Finola and the girls are incredibly helpful and so lovely. Last Saturday I popped in for a quick look, and let me tell you its never quick as you’ll be seduced by the stock!! So here’s a look at what I picked up ….

Crop pic of top

I adore this top from Signet its one of those tops that is perfect for a night out or catch up with the girls during the daytime/evening time, its dressy but can be worn casual. The detail on this top is incredible. I love the bow part and hems on the sleeves as they are all sequins while the rest of the top is a t-shirt type material. It is the most comfiest top I’ve worn. At  €59.99 it definitely looks a lot more!!

IMG_7150

I paired the Top with my Freddy Leathers which you may have noticed I wear to death, I didn’t pick the leathers up in Signet but guess what ladies? Signet stock the freddy jeans and leathers!! Another good reason for you to pop in!!

IMG_7141

Anytime I wear these leather pants I’m inundated with questions about them! They are extremely comfy and true to size.

Crop pic of heels

The heels are my all time bargain, picked these up in Penneys for €16 .. love them!

So girls do pop into Signet if you live or are down near the area, I promise you won’t be disappointed, they are also on facebook and I’m pretty sure they’ll take orders online!! This top is only one of many fabulous pieces they have in stock. Their link is here

IMG_7157

Lots more looks in the pipeline and pretty busy for the next few weeks, but can I just thank Emer Irish Fashaholic for these amazing pictures. And how beautiful are the interiors in the Penthouse of the Clayton Hotel Cork City, want them for my own house :). I love working with Emer, always great fun and chats, and I wish her the best of luck with her new arrival on the way in a few weeks xx

Until next time

Winter looks this season…My style!

Fashion and Beauty BlogMy Style

IMG_6466

Its cold and then its warm quiet confusing really for winter weather isnt it?? Anyway this is one of my go to outfits ..its simple, even on the edge off being boring with the all black but it works by just throwing on a hat!

IMG_6468

I picked up this hat last year in Parfois but seriously girls they do fabulous ones that last a lifetime! The jumper is a 2 in 1 with frilled collar and hem..I got it from Littlewoods, its the v by very brand, and it is available here for €32 which is a bargain. They also have it in pale pink too which would be gorgeous in Spring with white jeans!

IMG_6467

The jeans are Freddy as previous post and are so warm and comfy.

IMG_6469

Shoes are Caris Closet think they still have them in stock here I got mine about two years ago but they have lasted ages.

So like I said girls the outfit is nice and simple but definitely a handy one to throw on and head off out for lunch, shopping even if you’re shopping pop on a pair of trainers and it will still look smart!

Hope you like and I’ll have loads more looks to follow

Until next time

Love Pam xx

Christmas day outfit -My Style

FashionFashion and Beauty BlogMy Style

So girls I know some of you aren’t fans of getting too dressed up over Christmas as in throwing on tulles, flouncy dresses etc for Christmas day…I could go either way depends on the mood…but as a rule I tend to dress up

This is something I pulled together and figured it would be a nice Christmas day outfit look, its not overly dressy and you can hide a whole christmas turkey underneath!! Bonus!

IMG_6475

The Jumper I picked up from one of my local boutiques Off The Rails Mitchelstown, the brand is new to the store which was recently acquired by Gill and they have beautiful stock. This jumper is unfortunately sold out but she has similar styles of the same brand.

IMG_6482

I love the style of this jumper, although you cant see it, the black trim of the sleeves, shoulders and the bottom is all velvet and the main material is a scuba material. The sleeves are also mesh which I love and it makes the whole jumper very dressy. You can also find similar here and equally dressy jumpers here,  here,and here

IMG_6481

The leather pants are the Freddy ones and you can purchase here. The heels are Dunnes Stores from last year. They were €30 but they have brought out a similar colour which is available in store or here.

IMG_6480

And finally I threw a fur scarf over my jumper, this one I picked up from Penneys last year but they have brought in other colours this year and are only €15.

Pics are by the ever talented Emer Irish Fashaholic we had so much fun shooting this look.

Hope you like it and again any questions just ask

Until next time

Christmas Nights out Mid Week!

Uncategorized

Hey Girls

So as you know there’s going to be tonnes and tonnes of Christmas parties from here on in!! Now for me, if I’m honest this isn’t the case! Mumslife!! Christ my 5 year old has more of a social life than I do 🙂

But there is one or two random mid week nights I have coming up..hence what to wear for a night out mid week??

So this is what I’m going with..Its dressy but simple! Nothing too over the top if its not a Friday/Saturday night..

IMG_6526

Leather pants and a Faux Fur coat..perfect to dress anything up!! And gorgeous and warm for these chilly nights. Like I said its simple and chic.

IMG_6539

I paired the pants with a Lace Shirt from Penneys for €10 which is a bargain as its so comfy and great quality.

IMG_6531

The fabulous Pink & Grey Faux Fur Jacket is from Love Cherish I adore it ..its so comfy and quiet heavy…glammy too! It was €105 which is great value for the quality and they have some in store, so contact the gorgeous girls on 063 21830.

IMG_6525

I adore these watches from Sundial Watches, they are stunning. The unique difference to these watches is they are solar powered. They are beautifully finished and would be the perfect christmas gift. The thing I love most about Sundial watches is they are owned by an Irish Company Calcul based in Shannon, and you know how I feel about supporing local Irish businesses. All the details on how to contact them is on the link above! I was lucky enough to win a competition for one of these pieces (From Yummy Mummy Blog) but I’ve added a few more of their designs on my wishlist for hubbie 😉 A girl can never have enough watches right??

IMG_6540

The pants are the infamous Freddy Jeans, and boy are these leathers amazing..I adore them and they fit perfectly! I got these from my hubbie for my birthday after tormenting him about them for an age! The shoes I got about two years ago from Milanoo delivered for the total sum of €35 I kid you not!!! They are fab! Cari’s Closet are doing these I believe and Penneys have launched similar ones in nude and also a black colour for €19. The YSL Clutch I picked up from Depop and if you re not familiar with this site girls, I recommend you do, as you can pick up some new barely worn high street, designer and vintage pieces for great prices..

All pics are by Emer@Irish Fashaholic and thanks so much to Maeve @LoveCherish for collaborating with me on the Fur Coat!

If you girls have any questions just ask

Until next time

Cork Fashion Hub ..What I wore

FashionMy Style

What a weekend ladies!!Phew Half dead after it 🙂

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 here  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 them 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
