Look what I found

On a recent browse about the shops I happened to stumble upon a lovely bargain in h&m. A pair of white hasbeen for h&m sandals for 7euro...they had been 60blips!!Sure I was only delighted
It has to be said I am a sucker for bargains and can sometimes loose my sense of reason when I find one and I know they aren't to everyone's liking but I think with the right skirt,painted toenails and a tan they will look fabulous.
Along the way I managed to hit a 1/2 price charity shop sale. I do feel a little guilty only having paid half price but anyway the two items came to the grand total of 5scuros.
I found myself a flowery little blouse and high waisted Levi jeans which I intend to make into shorts, as denim high waisted shorts are allll the rage these days.
I'm going to embrace high waisted clothing for the time being, hopefully I'll end up looking like a Celine girl. A girl can dream :)

Spikey Collections

Lately I have been collecting all things SPIKEY!! I found these prickly offerings at forever 21. And love them :)
I feel like a rock chic when I'm wearing them, well as rock chic as I can be.
Along with my prickly jewellery I picked up the latest Elle Collection which made me such a happy girl :)


I love when the Elle Collections issue comes out.
My favourite part being the rainbow collage of the collections :D delicious

Sequins and Threads



Averil Blakely and Emmy Slattery are two very talented Irish fashion designers who have recently returned from London to launch their new fashion venture, the fabulously entitled Sequins and Threads.
Before returning to the Emerald Isle the girls worked with the likes of Christopher Kane,Gareth Pugh, William Tempest, Osman, Bat for Lashes, The Klaxons and lady Gaga to name but a few.

work by Emmy and Averil

So with their mountain of experience and deadly eye for fashion the girls are putting their talents to good use and delving into the world of Irish Debutantes.
Sequins and Threads is a unique service helping the most stylish debutantes create their ideal debs dress to help them stand out from the crowd.
In the words of Emmy and Averil " The concept behind our new venture is an exclusive and exciting answer to Debs dresses in Ireland. Together, we have researched current catwalk trends, street style and celebrity culture to bring you 5 key looks which, this season we have categorized as ‘Dark Fantasy’,’ Hollywood Glamour’, ‘Let them eat cake’, ‘Only girl in the world’ and ‘Paper Romance’. Mood boards act as a starting point, for each debutant and based on her unique taste and style we will design the dream dress."
So Sequins and Threads offer a unique designing experience resulting in a hand made one of a kind dress, What more could a debutante want!!
Its refreshing to see young Irish designers making a break for it. I know Sequins and Threads will be a huge success, just watch this space!!

Best of luck to the fabulous Averil and Emmy x x

Sweet Dreams







This is what I wore yesterday. Black maxi dress h&m, T-shirt topshop, jacket borrowed from my sis and my trusty white boots.
I know the name of the post is sweet dreams but I have been having anything but sweet dreams as of late...I keep falling asleep and dreaming the weirdest and scariest things wake up in a haze of confusion and then cant sleep again...it has to stop soon, or else i will look and feel like a zombie.
On a plus side I rather like this outfit....i love black maxi dresses and skirts they are my fave. I want to make some soon.
