Winter Layering

Faux Fur Snood- Accessorize
Jacket- Zara
Jumper- H&M
White tee- Zara
Leggins- Penneys/Primark
Loafers- Manfield (http://www.manfield.fr/)

Bag- OmDiva

I have developed an obsession for layering recently, and given the absolute baltic weather it is kinda needed! These leather/ wet look leggings are my latest Penneys/Primark bargain. I think they were €9- how could you resist! They are so versatile and can be worn casual as seen here, or throw on a heel and a dressy blouse and you are good to go for a night out!

The Pink Coat

Necklace- Penneys/ Primark Limited Edition
Jumper- Marks&Spencer
Coat- Marks&Spencer
Brogues- ZARA
Bag- Louis Vuitton

The pink coat is dominating the high end and high street this winter with Marks and Spencer and Topshop leading the way with the best options on the high street. It took a very long time to track this bubblegum pink beauty down but it was totally worth it and it will certainly brighten up my winter days!!

Sun Glazed

Fur Headband- Boutique in Hillsborough N.Ireland
Coat- Marks & Spencer
Top- Marks & Spencer (Peruna)
Jeans- Topshop
Shoes- Marks & Spencer

Nothing like a bit of white on white on a dry, crisp November day. This is another new Marks & Spencer winter coat to add to my obsession, I mean collection. Just because the days are getting duller and darker doesn't mean our wardrobes have to reflect this!

Mac is Back

Mac- Zara
Top- Penneys/Primark
Jeans- Tophop 'Jamie' style
Shoes- Manfield
Bag- Michael Kors Jet Set Medium

The mac is perfect for this Autumn weather. I like to think this casual look is a nod to the chic, simplistic Parisian style. I guess my French mum will be the judge of that!

This Michael Kors handbag is the dream. It holds absolutely everything, is excellent quality and looks very pretty if you ask me. I would say to anyone investing a bit of dosh in an everyday handbag to check it out. The new Michael Kors store just opened in Dundrum Town Shopping Centre so now you have an excuse to pop in for a wee visit, Christmas is coming soon after all gals...

Double Down With Double Denim

Coat- ZARA
Denim Shirt- Penneys/ Primark
Jeans- Marks&Spencer
Boots- Office
Bag- Vintage Vintage hand me down from my mum

Since my big move from living on Georges Street, (or Dublin Zero as I like to call it) I have been trying to embrace suburban living in Portobello. Yes, I know, it is not quite suburban but believe me when you go from practically living on South William Street to living by the canal - it's a change!! 

I have to say though I am embracing the Rathmines / Portobello location big time. There are a host of deadly charity shops, cool coffee spots and and an all round lovely feeling about the area. Today was a glorious day and no better place to capture a few outfit photos than by the canal.

I am a sucker for double denim. As long as the two denims are opposing shades it is usually always a goer. Worn with a black coat and a pair of chunky boots the look is simple and practical, I hope you agree!

Injecting a bit of 'Gossip Girl' into my wardrobe with this shirt and jumper combo, (my Autumn look of late!) I completed my girly, feminine look with an on trend stack heel a la Alexa Chung. Well, one can dream.

Return of the Coat

Coat- Marks&Spencer
Dress- MSGM
Bag- Marks&Spencer
Socks- Penneys/Primark
Boots- Italian , bought in France

I have tried with all my might to put off piling on the layers and rooting out my winter coats, but alas it is bloody freezing outside and I am left with no choice!
Thank God for Marks & Spencer, or Marks and Sparks as I like to call it! Marks is my go to store for my winter apparel, for everything from pjs to coats . Their store in Sprucefield, Northern Ireland is my heaven, seriously. My new coat is not only practical but of a very high quality and super warm!

By the canal


Fur- Topshop (taken off a different jacket)
Necklace- Topshop
Coat- Dunnes Stores
Tee- Zara
Jeans- Marks&Spencer
Boots- Italian handmade from Boutique in France
Bag- Louis Vuitton Speedy

You know winter has arrived when you are reaching for your fur scarf. In fairness it was so warm today I had it whipped off me after half an hour, which is not a complaint!

These boots are like wearing a pair of slippers, perfect for me at the moment for my house hunting, but that's another story... Hopefully I will find a place to hang my glad rags soon.

All Things Bridal



Jumper: Primark/Penneys
Leather skirt- Zara
Shoes boots- Zara
Watch- Georges St Arcade

Very proud to post my article featured in the fab 'North-West Brides' magazine Winter 2013 edition. I chose this stunning Ronald Joyce dress to showcase how it can be styled in two different ways to suit your own personal style!

I also had the pleasure of being the guest MC at the North-West Bridal Fashion show in Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh. I love nothing more than going back home to the North so I jumped at this opportunity and made a night of it by staying in the gorgeous Lough Erne Resort (if it's good enough for the world leaders...)

I am generally not one for red but I love the Louis Vuitton vibe of this leopard print Penneys top and well, the skirt... I fell in love. Zara strikes again!

A Hazy Shade of Winter



Hat- Zara
Coat- A/Wear
Top- Marks & Spencer
Jeans- Topshop 'Jamie'
Boots- Italian from boutique in France
Bag- Prada Tote 

I nearly exploded with excitement when I spotted this beaut of a hat on my daily visit to Zara. The boyfriend thinks it is comical. I think it is deadly. Ears are in this season, he's just obviously not up to date!

The coat was a fabulous investment from A/Wear. The A/W 13 collection is just divine. The lovely Press launch last month made my mouth drool and now I want every single coat in there! If you are on the hunt for a winter coat, hit up A/Wear!

London Throwback

Blazer- Mango
Aran Knit Jumper- 'Indigo' at Marks and Spencer
Jeans- Marks and Spenceer
Boots- Aldo
Bag- Prada Vintage

I think it is fair to say I have a real love affair with Marks and Spencer. This aran knit was a dream purchase and needless to say their new Autumn/Winter 2013 collection is stellar.Lots of tartan, amazing on trend coats and fab statement pieces! Last week I went slightly over board and indulged in a few staple winter items which I will be posting about very soon!
Ps- This is my dear friend Kiki (my very own Alexa Chung,) who I have unfortunately lost to a PHD in Norwich, Booo! As you can see my London trips to see her make me one very happy gal!
