This was my face yesterday- I popped along to Topshop for the launch of their new dress collection. I bought something for my not so little anymore sister which I now want to keep for myself. Absolutely EVERYTHING I’m wearing bar my tights is from Miss Selfridge- the most under-rated shop on the high street.
Still getting used to working all weekend every weekend, Summer makes me want to lie around with daiquiris and dance music allllllll day long.
This was yesterday- I was working from home until 5 (pyjama club FTW!) so afterwards I felt like being fancy. If I had to pick one thing from my wardrobe that represents my style the most it would be this glorious skirt. Fashioned out of my debs dress (which was, shock horror, 6 years ago now), it has layers and layers of delicious mille-feuille that make me feel just magic.

Ah sure it’s only meself. Firstly hi! I’ve posted so many “I’m sorry for abandoning you” posts I’m beginning to feel they should have a category all of their own. Let’s move on shall we? Here’s what I look like today, pics taken in my lovely little room in fair London.

I’ve had many many things going in lately, one huge piece of news in particular… I’m a-coming home! With ever increasing numbers of my friends leaving Ireland, I seem to be one of the few crazy enough to return. It’s all in the name of progress however, I have managed to land myself a super amazing job with loads of opportunities. So it’s both a sad and super super happy time. Sad to be leaving my adopted city of London and my beautiful friends here, but also excited to be back with my family and boy and friends again.
I was also completely shocked and delighted to find myself on the long list for the Irish Blog Awards 2011 in the category of Best Lifestyle Blog. TANKS VERY MUCH LADS. Not that I have much faith in making it further down the road due to the fierce competition amongst some of my most favourite blogs in all the land, it means a lot to squeeze in there anyway.
ps fashion weeks mean me being chained to my computer so expect more blabbing soon
Hello internet, this is what I look like today. Feeling rather festive of late (if you couldn’t tell already), I rocked some red today a la red riding hood. Excuse my awful quality photo, I used Photo Booth for this glorious shot. Anyhoo:
Cardigan- Penneys a few years ago, Shirt & Pinafore- H&M, Spotted Bow- off some pyjamas from Penneys, Brooch- robbed from my sister (Hi Lisa!!), Headband- Snow White themed from Disneyland Paris
One of my favourite blogs over the last few months has been Tiny Toadstool. I almost hate to share. She has a wonderful playful sense of style which I really identify with. There is nothing try hard about what she wears- she always looks like a cake and reminds me of sailors and schoolgirls and ballerinas all wrapped into one which I enjoy a great deal.
Shan Shan’s hat collection is particularly impressive- she makes her own beautiful berets, collars and mittens which can be seen over on her Etsy and she also sells some fantastic vintage finds here. Every outfit post makes me smile and fall in love with tulle and bows a little bit more which I didn’t think was possible.
