Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate //



I must be the last person in the world to try this cult Kiehls product- rarely does a skincare product blow me away upon first use... 

The main active ingredient in Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate is primrose oil, which is believed to have a positive effect on the skin’s natural barriers in order to repair and strengthen them. According to the manufacturer, this not only improves the appearance of the outermost layer of the skin, but it also improves its ability to better retain moisture so that the skin remains hydrated. Lavender oil is also included in the formula to fight inflammation and irritation caused by environmental toxins. Other natural ingredients include squalane, which gives Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate its smooth texture, and limonene, and gives the elixir a pleasant citrus scent. 

The product is very silky, easily absorbed and known to be particularly good at mixing with the natural oils of your skin. It works overnight to help skin recover radiance, and to make your skin feel smoother and softer.

I use about 2-3 drops on cleansed skin (sometimes more) and gently press it on the skin before massaging it in. For best results, apply Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate twice a day. You can finish your beauty ritual with a moisturiser, as this product will not interact with other skin care creams or serums.

An absolute must have product to add to your skincare, a little goes a long way so expect to get at least 4-6 months use.

Little White Dress //

Friday 24 July 2015


I don't think I've ever been as in love with an item of clothing as I am with this Embroidered Victoriana Topshop dress. White, floaty, crochet gorgeousness that I want to wear all day, every day. it is also available in black, which i may have to purchase! 
 I also picked up a pair of gold bow flats from Oasis on a whim during a last minute holiday shopping trip and ended up loving them just as much as well. They are so comfortable and gold is so nice with a tan! They were an absolute bargain also which is always a plus.

Sheer Summer //

Tuesday 21 July 2015


I spent a magical afternoon at the Grand Villa Argentina celebrating a family wedding- this stunning location was one of my favourite places in Dubrovnik because you feel like you’re in some kind of paradise, away from the hustle and bustle of Old Town, filled with beautiful gardens and the most stunning views imaginable. 
Finding a dress at over six months pregnant is no easy task!  I wore this Self Portrait Guipure lace mini dress which was ideal in the searing 38 degrees heat. Self Portrait dresses are beautifully made with heavy luxurious fabric that will last for years. Definitely a good investment purchase.
Available in Brown Thomas, Dublin

And I'm off....

on a little mini sunshine break very soon!

So I am sharing my carry on essentials- this Michael Kors tote is perfect- it holds a multitude without being really bulky. Passport and holiday documents can be neatly stored inside...

On holidays, I tend to leave makeup at home and bring the bare essentials- I am still loving this Bare Minerals BB Mineral Rescue Complexion, it's a creamy consistency and more like a moisturiser than a foundation. Read my review here! 

Factor 50+ is an absolute must and I never let the sun near my face- this lightweight Kiehls one is genius, it won't break you out either which is a plus. Another more affordable option is from La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Extreme Face Fluid SPF50 , which is equally as good.

My summer scent has changed to this Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt and I am loving it so far! If you are travelling away, make sure you pick up a Travalo Spray Refillable Perfume at duty free- they are perfect for carrying your scents in your bag all year around.

What are your go to essentials for a mini break?

Grey Days //

Saturday 11 July 2015








I have always loved graphic tees and sweatshirts so when I found this one at Whistles, I knew I had to get it! I love it! If you do get it I would size up. It’s a little bit short if you get your regular size. I paired it with my Topshop Leigh jeans but have a look below to see how Emily Jackson styled hers!
Have a wonderful day!

This is my favourite piece from my Chicwish haul, it's excellent quality and sits over my baby bump perfectly! The fabric is perfect for the summer months but can be layered over in winter for a more casual look.
