I’m always drawn to lace ..for me it never dates and its always good to have a little lace top (white preferably) hanging in the wardrobe. It goes with everything and you can mix it up with skirts, jeans or trousers.

This one I picked up in the January sales in Stradivarius, but even since then I have seen similar everywhere. And I’m not surprised as they are so dressy for day or nighttime and suit every kind of shape. This is slightly shorter so will suit a petite figure. But I have seen longer lengths to suit taller or longer torso s.

I paired this with my grey jeans from Noisy may which you’ll find here but I have also worn this with blush pink trousers and tulle skirts too. In the summer I pair it with denim shorts and it looks fab. (I’ll show you another picture below)

The heels are old from Savida, but they have a similar darker pair in stock at the moment. I wear this outfit during the day and it can also be worn at night.

Like I mentioned these type of lace tops never date so don’t afraid to purchase one if you are not already an owner..I guarantee you this type of top will be the one that you pull out from your wardrobe to wear, time and time again. As this was purchased in January I have found similar ones for you here, here here, here and here

As I said above I have also paired this top with Blush pants from Zara and nude heels and it goes perfectly together too. See pic below.

A pretty skirt for any occassion

FashionMy Style

A pretty skirt for any occasion is very hard come by…I kid you not. So when I spotted this one I simply had to have it..its that one skirt you can wear during the day its dressy but with a hint of sexy with the lace hem…

Most importantly you can wear it during the day or night..you can dress it down with a grungy tshirt and converse and its got that nice edgy casual look if you are brave enough to pull it off!

I on the other hand, am not that brave sometimes, maybe its my height that restricts me from being more edgy but I stuck to safe for this look..But first lets talk about this skirt!

I adored it from the moment I saw it in Bella Dungarvan I bought it instantly and even though I had nothing or no clue what to wear it with I simply had to have it…its a pleated skirt but with a delicate almost see through lace hem! It is so feminine which i love and even though its pleated its tulle material.

Its slightly high waisted again another bonus as it hides a multitude and trust me I have things to hide 🙂 Its the perfect colour to carry you through the Spring/Summer season.

I paired this skirt with a simple white fine knit jumper from H&M, I will however wear it with a simple cami over the summer for a night out. The reason for pairing it with a knit is a have two of my gorgeous nieces communions coming up and feel this will be perfect to wear for either of their communions. Understated!

The skirt was €48, and the Top from H&M was €29.99 and still in store and online here

The bag was a gift from my Brother but its by Parfois.

Savida’s Perfect Red & Pink Print Dress, ideal for bursting into the Spring Summer Season!

FashionMy Style

Savida’s red and pink print dress is an absolutely beauty to wear throughout Spring/Summer. This dress was kindly given to my by Savida for Dunnes Stores. It has the most beautiful print and such vibrant colours, I instantly fell in love.

It is an unbelievably flattering dress as its seam waisted and skims the stomach area. I love the fact it is midi lenght and even at 5’5 it is perfect for me. It is such a high quality dress, with 100% polyester lining, and even after washing it (which you can do at a 40 degree wash) it hasn’t lost it shape or vibrancy!

Its always so hard to find a nice dress with long sleeves and this one from Savida is perfect, I know I keep mentioning it but I cannot get over the quality. This dress is €50 but in my opinion it looks way more expensive and such good value

I paired a belt with the dress as it cinches and defines the waist even more but you don’t need to do this at all. It looks good with or without a belt.

I wore the Savida dress with these New look block heels as I feel they’ll work in the daytime and nighttime during the summer months. And I’ve even worn this dress with beige ankle boots and it looks fab. Its the perfect dress from going from day to evening time, its so versatile which is another reason I love it so much. The bag is TK Maxx and was €19.99. You’ll find the heels here and more importantly you will find the dress here online and it is also available in stores now!

So girls I’d advise you hightail it to Savida fairly rapidly, as since wearing this dress at an event last Saturday, I have been inundated with questions about it and I know a few of you managed to snap it up..its amazing and even better in real life!!

Hope you enjoyed the post and I’ll have loads more looks to follow

Until next time

Gallery …Another Dunnes Stores Brand to watch!

FashionFashion and Beauty Blog

So as my previous post mentioned, I was kindly invited to Dunnes Stores head office to view some of the collections..Gallery was one of the amazing brands I got to view. I met with two of the buyers the fabulous and informative Anna and Sorcha. Like Savida, Gallery has really evolved in the last few years, catching the attention of a younger audience and transforming the perception that its only for the older lady!

The girls took me through each collection and its story piece by piece. I was blown away by the different array of colours, florals and prints that will be on offer and I can guarantee you, you’re in for a treat when they land!!

I’ve noticed a huge improvement in the collection in the last couple of years and the quality is unreal for the price point. Without a doubt its amazing value.

It oozes sophistication and is unbelievably chic, both evident throughout the occasional wear and right down to the casual pieces. There is something to suit every type of woman and for any shape.

Every collection has a different theme and colour. Floral is huge, and there is ample choices of lace.

Vibrant greens, Blues, Yellows, Pink and Reds are dominant in each collection, I love how they have added greens and yellows, fabulous colours for summer!

There is a great choice of casual and occasional wear and for anyone who has weddings, communions and Races, you need not worry Gallery will have you covered.

I am particularly loving the casual gear, its so practical yet so on trend. They have the type of pieces you will wear time and time again. (See below..both these are available in other colours)

And how fab is this Casual jacket below and they have introduced some gorgeous jeans in a variety of colours that will land very soon.

I have loads of images of other gorgeous stock that will be landing in stores, but I will share those over the next few days on Facebook….

The girls have done an amazing job with the up and coming collections hitting the store and I am told there is another beautiful coat in the pipeline similar to the embellished one I shared with you a couple of weeks back so watch this space!!

If you have any questions or need pricing on any of the items above just message me I’ll be happy to help

Until next time

Savida: A cut above the rest!!

FashionFashion and Beauty Blog

Savida, a label worth knowing! Last Wednesday I was kindly invited to pop into Dunnes Stores head office for a sneak preview of what’s to come into their stores for the Savida and Gallery Collections…

I am a huge fan of Savida (see previous post on collections I’ve worn) and I love to see how much it has evolved & grown in the past two years…To say I was impressed with the amount of hard work that has gone into pulling & selecting the collections is an understatement. They have some AMAZING quality pieces coming into the stores, now and in the next coming months. I had the opportunity to with meet with the fabulous and talented buyers who talked me through the collections piece by piece.

I never fully understood the amount of thought, blood, sweat and tears that the buyers go through in pulling a collection that is worthy to land on their store floors, and this visit was certainly an eye opener for me!

First up Savida, I am already a fan of this label and I adore their recent collections, they are young, chic and incredibly stylish but practical at the same time. There is something for everyone in their collections for summer, and the vibrant colours add lots of fun to it.

I love the variety available at Savida currently, there is something for everyone, practical items but with subtle details, making it that bit more unique. Colours are prominent, but the palettes chosen are wearable time and time again! Every collection coming up in the next few months all have a different palette. Blues and Yellows are visible for the current collection, yet reds, bright pinks, whites, navy’s, stripes are all more dominant in up and coming collections. All very wearable and pieces that will take you further into the autumn season too!

Savida have thought of every type of scenario or occasion (christening, bbq. summer party, races, communion) you might have, and created a collection for a strong busy woman..perception has always been that Dunnes is where your “mum” shopped for clothes, but this current mum who shops in Savida is young, trendy and very fashionable! The collection is younger and appeals to every sort of woman, the working professional in their 20’s, the busy but fashionable mom, the socialite girl, Savida has something for all these confident sophisticated ladies!

Savida have worked hard to change this perception of their clothing and have found the direction in where their collection is going, its remarkable how in such a short space of time they really have evolved and young fashionistas are sitting up and starting to notice!

So ladies keep your eyes peeled for these collections to land in-store, I had so many favourites I wanted and am impatiently waiting for them to hit the floor, top of my list is that beautiful giraffe print dress (top pic)….June cannot come quick enough..

I will be showing more of the collection in the next few days. There is so much gorgeous pieces, too much to show here but I will share them on my facebook page here!

Let me know what has caught your eye too and if you have any questions on pricing or when they will be available just send me a message, I be happy to help.

Until next time

Love

Day to night tops!

FashionMy StyleUncategorized

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!

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.

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.

Pics are by the talented and lovely Emer Irish Fashaholic she is so gifted at what she does and its always so much fun working with her.

Until next time

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!

Communion Outfits

FashionUncategorized

Communion outfits don’t have to be complicated ladies, I know I have received numerous messages for girls wondering what to wear for the day. Its tricky as its gone very dressy ..more like attending a wedding :)…

My advise is keep it simple…keep it dressy but not an outfit for a wedding. I think its important to bear in mind when purchasing an outfit ,to remember what you have hanging in your wardrobe already, and what you are about to purchase could potential go with some of your other items you already own. Therefore you are going to get more wear out of it after the communion day is over. Be it a blazer, top, skirt or trousers. Because lets be honest there is no point in buying something to wear for one day.

Also bear in mind its about your little ones day and keep it simple elegant and demure 🙂

So on that note here is my options for you which would look good and be completely wearable again.

Occassional outfits — Top Oasis €46, Warehouse midi skirt €84, Bag New look clutch €28, New Look Pink Sateen knot front tie heels €38. White off shoulder top €12.99. Warehouse Prom Skirt €63

Skirts are a great alternative as they can be worn time and time again and go with almost any other top in the wardrobe..wear a black top with either of these skirts and you can wear this outfit for a date night or night out with the girls. And both those tops above can be paired with jeans.

Dressy heels — Warehouse Jumpsuit €89, New Look Pink heels €27, Asos Shirt detailed Jumpsuit €73.33, New Look silver heels €27, Warehouse culotte Jumpsuit reduced to €29, New Look gold heels €34.99

I love a jumpsuit and they pretty much suit any occasion. Its always a nice alternative to a dress and looks very chic and modern. These ones are great for this time of year and I love the colours. Throw a blazer over any of these and it’ll still look smart for a communion. Jumpsuits you will wear time and time again. And if you don’t have one then considering investing in a nice tailored version.

Trousers are always a great option. Its nice to have something a little different. I’m loving the lovely bright colours around at the moment and I know I’ve said it before but you will wear them again to a barbecue or christening event or any other occasion. You can also add a different top with these trousers, to completely change the look, be it a light jumper with flats for day time, or heels and a top for a more dressy night out outfit.

Skirts — White Jumper H&M €22.99, Hot Pink Ruffle Skirt Topshop €57, Rose Gold bag Asos €31, Asos Rose Gold Heels €35, HM Camisole Top €14, Miss Selfridges Nude Faux Leather skirt €40, Missguided Clutch Asos €12, Asos-Dune Alice Nude heels €44. Oasis Floral Sleeveless top €47, Oasis Floral skirt €52.

Its always fun to add a pop of colour or add print to make an occasional outfit stand out. I love this pink top with ruffles, I would definitely wear it again to some other event. And I’d swap the white jumper for a sleeveless top or camisole. All these skirts are a little different, but yet not completely out there, that you wouldn’t wear them again with other things. I paired the floral skirt with a floral top but again you can wear a more plainer colour to tone it down a bit. All of these can be worn as separates so you are getting more value out of the outfit.

I purposely left out dresses girls just this time round as I wanted you to look at what you could possible wear already from your wardrobe. And to look at purchasing an outfit that you can wear the separates with numerous things you had already.

Hope this has been helpful

Until next time

Grey jeans and How to style them: Part 2

FashionMy Style

Grey jeans as you know I have styled with all grey everything in my last post…this time I’ve decided to wear it a different way and to show you how easy it is to style these type of coloured jeans.

On any given day during the week its always nice to dress down, and stay comfy and casual. You’ve heard me mention school runs numerous times and this is one look with the grey jeans I usually go for first thing in the morning. Leather jackets with grey jeans always look good at anytime.

This leather jacket is quiet old, it was a Christmas gift and its by Oasis Clothing. The beauty with Oasis is they make clothes to last and this leather jacket is lasting a lifetime. I love it, it has fur on the collar that is removable, which is an added bonus as its like two jackets in one! You will find Penneys have a similar jacket minus the fur for €23 and they are a lovely fit or you will find similar from Oasis here for €65.

I also paired it with a simple grey t-shirt from Primark, its from last year but they have restocked them since. I love these type of tshirt as they dont stick to your body and are loose yet have a little structure. HM are great for these type tshirts and you’ll find them for €7.99 here They are great t-shirts for any type of jeans.

I’m wearing the same grey jeans as in the previous post but you can find similar here from H&M and Noisy may

The boots are River Island and I live in these, they are extremely comfy and go with everything and are instore and available here

So my advise girls is go get those grey jeans you wont regret it!

Embellished Jumpers

FashionMy Style

Embellished jumpers are definitely ones to have hanging in your wardrobe, Why’s that you ask? Well because they are easily dressed up or dressed down. And so handy to make you look good, even if you don’t feel it.

The beauty about embellished jumpers is they can look good with anything, jeans, and skirts.

I love this jumper and it is such a statement piece too with the embellishments on it. Its casual yet dressy.

I had my eye on this for a long time and when I spotted this jumper on sale I simply had to have it. Its from Asos by a brand called Starry Eyed and you’ll find it here. I got it in the petite size and sized down as its quiet a large fit. It’s such a stunning top and everytime I wear it I get asked about it (even from Strangers). I also spotted similar tops here, and here

Here is a closer pic of the detail on the jumper, I have also paired this with my nude/blush tulle skirt from Love Cherish and it looks great with it. The jeans I picked up from Vanilla Boutique and are the Rant and Rave brand for €65, the most comfortable jeans you’ll find and a great fit. Very flattering.

The heels are from Savida and are in stock at the moment (Mine are last years but there is a similar colour in stock at the moment)

So don’t be afraid to add a few embellished tops to the wardrobe as casual wear
