What A Back to School Outfit Should Look Like!

The majority of school uniforms as we know are grey or have grey incorporated into it. I've taken just that
idea but edged things up a bit! And added a small addition of colour to maketheoutfit really pop.
So hear it is.........

                                                                             Leather Jacket-A/Wear
                                                                                 Cardigan-H&M
                                                                                   Top-Bershka
                                                                                  Harems-A/Wear
                                                                             Boots-Primark/Penneys
                                                                            Satchel-Primark/Penneys

Different Textures

I havent had a outfit post in a while. Been back at school for a week now and it already work is piling
up! But no amount of school work can get in the way of my outfit posting :) I was feeling a bit sluggish this weekend so dressing up was'nt really on the cards, but I did opt for something a bit more snug, so my woolly
cardigan, maxi skirt and crochet top (which by the way I found out was actually a pyjama top :) ), done just the job.

If I Could Have One Dress It Would Be...........

Now I'm in my final year of school, there is only one thing that my mind is going to be focused on this year
and is going to take a whole lotta prep. No its not my Leaving Cert.! but my Debs. And of course finding
the perfect dress is at the top of my list! I've been looking around the past few months seeing what kind
of styles were available, but nothing has really caught my attention yet. If anything I don't want to go down the traditional route of the satiny jeweled halterneck maxi-dress that you are guaranteed that the rest of your class mates will be wearing on the same night!.......Not really my style anyway :)
However if there is one dress that I keep referring back to for inspiration it is the Green Gown worn by
Keira Knightley in Atonement. Everything about the dress just oozes sensuality. From the colour to the
way it drapes....everything. This is just one idea that I had. But over the coming months I'm sure I will be overloaded with ideas which I will be posting.
ENJOY..........

Holiday Snaps

Well here are a few pics from my mini break away. Days were either spent on the beach, in the water,
walking, or out on the decking sun bathing.....well when the weather held up anyway :)
ENJOY.........

Curiouser and Curiouser

I'm back! I'm back! I'm back! Refreshed and rearing to go after my break in East Cork. Will have
pictures to follow shortly. This week however is going to be slightly hectic in contrast though as its
back to school time for me and thousands of other adolescents across Ireland! And I'm pretty sure my
uniforms' gone on the missing list again :)  All that aside, I decided my outfit should be a bit more
vibrant today than it usually is for a monday. I'm really liking the pussy bows at the moment so here's
my take on it. I used the chiffon belt that is usually around this blouse to make the bow.
ENJOY..........

A Little Bit Bohemian

This will be my last outfit post for the next week as I'm retreating to the east coast of Cork for some well deserved R&R, booking reading, sunrise watching.....the works! I opted for something a bit more zingy today. This skirt is one of my absolute favourites, but trying to find what to wear with it can be a wee bit of a challenge :P.....hope I pulled it off. Let me know what you think..........

A Subdued Affair

Now, I'm not exactly one for showing off my legs but shorts unless its necessary  have become a very common item in my wardrobe lately !The weather today was'nt screaming for shorts to be worn either....
but I decided to be a bit brazen seeing as the Summer is drawing to a close :( but I think A/W is more my time to shine stylewise anyway. I'm a fan of the subdued autumnal tones......hope I pulled it off
ENJOY..........
