Actress Amy Huberman who is nearly nine months pregnant looked stunning in this Folkster 'Roan Cape' last night at the launch of her husband Brian O'Driscoll's autobiography 'The Test'. Amy has said that she has 'a slight aversion to maternity wear' and I have to agree. Her advice? Wear basic maternity and dress non-maternity around it'. She adjusts her wardrobe to suit- this cape is so versatile paired with a simple black dress or dressed down with jeans and a tee!

An elegant wool cape with beautifully finished shoulders, it's an investment piece that will last a lifetime! Buy HERE!


Amy has collaborated with Bourbon Footwear to create her own line. LINK!

Estée Lauder’s bestselling product, the Advanced Night Repair serum has had an upgrade. Introduced in 1982, one bottle was sold every 8.5 seconds! However, this new formula may actually be better! This new super-serum aims to repair and to purify and is my Winter saviour. It adds a dose of hyaluronic acid for an instant moisture hit which your skin needs in this cold weather.

You only need a small amount. The bottle comes with an eye dropper application that dispenses just the right amount. 4 drops is enough to do the entire face, meaning the product will last for an entire year! The honey-coloured serum is quite watery so a little bit goes a long way.

And the interesting part, Lauder have tested this on over 1000 women including Caucasian, Black, Indian, Hispanic, Asian, Japanese, Chinese and Korean. It has been tested on all skin types and ages. It is oil and fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, thus suitable for sensitive and acnaic skins

Estee Lauder say 'Tested and proven: Lines and wrinkles look significantly reduced. Skin feels smoother, hydrated and stronger. Looks younger, radiant, more translucent and even toned. Wake up to more beautiful skin every day with this limited edition collection'

I say -Magic in a bottle.

The world's most sought-after make-up artist has created her very own collection and it's available now at Brown Thomas, Dublin.

The line is conveniently categorised into 10 signature looks, with names such as “The Sophisticate,” “The Rebel,” and “The Golden Goddess.”
This makeup line is utterly, divinely gorgeous. If you’re not familiar with Charlotte Tilbury, she is one of the world’s leading makeup artists. You’ll find her work in Vogue and on the catwalk at fashion weeks all over the world every season.

After visiting the counter in Brown Thomas, I can safely say I’m head over heels for the collection!
A makeover is €55 redeemable against products, which is reasonable considering you will get the best quality products.

I love everything about the range from the gorgeous rose gold packaging to the signature looks which are inspired by some of her star clients. Cara D eyebrow pencil?!




Ok, so it's not exactly on the cheap side, so which products should be top of your 'Christmas Wish List'.....

The Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow (16 g/0.56 oz,) comes in a luxurious rose gold coloured compact. It has a warm bronze with a soft satiny shimmer glow. On my skin, it acts like the perfect contouring powder. It makes contouring super easy. The Sculpt/Bronzer side has enough warmth and colour that it doesn't make the skin look ashy and also isn't too warm that it turns orangey. It has a soft satiny sheen that gives depth.

The Highlight/Glow side is a yellowish/gold pale champagne highlighter, It's very pigmented and adheres well to the skin.
€65 LINK!



All of the palettes are intensely pigmented. I chose 'Dolce Vita'-with four harmonious colours, there is a quick step-by-step guide on the back to help you achieve a flawless look.
To create a smoky eye, sweep the champagne base colour (Prime) all over the eyelid. Over this, you apply the copper shade (Enhance) to the socket and outer corners of the eye. For a more intense eye, blend the dark bronze shade (Smoke) on the outer corners of the eye.
The fourth sparkly shade (Pop), designed to take you from daytime to an amped-up night-time look. With your ring finger, apply the 'Pop' shade to the centre of your eyelid for instant glamour.

Lip Cheat 'Pillow Talk' is a rich, velvety lip liner glides effortlessly over the lips and has the power to completely re-shape, re-size and balance your lips. Always match your lip liner to your lipstick shade to perfect your lip shape and make your lipstick stay in place from desk ‘til dusk! €22 LINK!

A sure-fire sign that the autumn is over has to be the re-emergence of heavy-duty over-the-knee boots. An over-the-knee, nearly thigh-high black boot may conjure up Pretty Woman-type imagery but there’s a classy, chic way to do it. Go for luxe (not patent) leather and a chunky or flat heel to add a casual counterbalance. The boots will work with a shift dress or pencil skirt for work and then leather leggings on the weekend. The Stuart Weitzman 'highland' boots featured below are definitely an investment at 960e but will last years (think of cost per wear!). I have recently bought a flat pair and have worn them non-stop!

-Add a casual knit for everyday glam

-OP only shows a slither of skin keeping it classy

-Chiara keeps it autumnal in this cosy outfit and the OTK boots really add a touch of class

-My absolute favourite brand, Stuart Weitzman, are the ultimate OTK boots- 

Culottes. You probably haven't seen them since your school days, but consider them back, and back with a vengeance. Spotted on spring/summer 2014 runways at Victoria Beckham, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Mulberry, culottes are looking to prove themselves as the new pant silhouette for A/W14.

But how to wear them?





A great alternative to the black work trouser- Try these TOPSHOP petite satin crepe culottes





No surprise that the leather culottes are my favourite! Buy these leather look culottes LINK!


Powder blue Wide Leg Culottes & Bottle green leather can look equally as classic as black-

This Topshop Pleat Front Culottes & Lace Trim Crop Top Topshop outfit is a very pretty look.


Teaming with stripes is always a winner!

Grey can sometimes be dull and downright gloomy. But not when it comes to home décor-  this lovely shade can add a calm and soothing effect to your home. It’s a fresh alternative to the neutral palette of browns, beiges and taupes.
Grey can be soft, appearing almost ethereal at times, serene, elegant, sophisticated and yet complex. It can be paired with bright or faded accent colours, or with bold or dark colours for richness and a timeless decor.
