A Lace & Leather Affair //

Sunday 24 April 2016




I love the idea of returning to delicate, feminine dressing in Spring and Summer. And lace is just the material for this. Zara have the best selection of white lace tops at the moment, everything from cropped to this one I am currently loving - the high neck gives it a victorian feel and the intricate detailing makes it look far more expensive. For me, I love wearing lace with faux leather pants- these River Island pair are very comfortable and affordable. When it comes to mixing lace with leather, opposites really do attract!







Happy Sunday!

All White //

The all-white trend isn't going anywhere- every high street store is full of all white ensembles and I love it. The white sneaker trend is huge at the moment , with Adidas Superstars having a moment. Personally, I still prefer converse so picked up the newest white leather version and they are amazing. This spring/summer, I'm all over this timeless classic. 



Charlotte Tilbury Instant Palette //

Sunday 10 April 2016




The new Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look in a Palette (£49) is a brand new Spring 2016 complete face and eye palette that promises to give you a gorgeous natural look in five minutes. It is launching nationwide on April 18th and I got a sneak peak...
The palette is compact, travel friendly & housed in a beautiful compact . It contains 3 eye shades, a mini film star bronze & glow and 2 cheek colours. The quality is buttery soft as would expect from Charlottes products. 
Everything is numbered making it super simple even for those makeup novices, you simply cannot go wrong with this.
(1) Eye brighten matte shade to brighten the eyes with a youthful, colour-correcting, brightening pale rose matte hue to prime and smooth the surface of the eyelid for all day application.
  • (2) Eye Enhance: Enhance the eyes by adding a glowing champagne shade that illuminates the eyelid.

  • (3) Eye Smoke: Smoke the colour to create softly-defined eyes with a taupe shade that can be built up to a natural-looking smoky eye.

(4) Face Bronze: Bronze and define the cheekbone hollows with a bronze colour in the best-selling Film star Bronze & Glow.

  • (5) Cheek Swish: Swish the rose coloured blush on the apples of the cheeks for a healthy, happy glow.

  • (6) Cheek Pop: Pop the pink shade onto the apples of the cheeks for a lit-from-within glow.

  • (7) Face Highlight: Highlight the outer C-section of the cheekbones, down the nose, on the bow of the lips, and the inner corners of the eyes with the candlelit shade.

If you want to see this palette in action, check out the YouTube PIXIWOO tutorial feat. Charlotte using this on Sam and taking the look from day to night. 
The Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look in a Palette is available at Brown Thomas, Dublin this April 18th & CharlotteTilbury.com.

Brunch With A View //


With the sun shining in Ireland, we have to take advantage. I found the perfect bomber jacket in this Zara blush and floral number. It's perfect when the sun is out but still chilly!



On a side note, how amazing is Wineport Lodge? The view...no words!


After a fabulous girlie brunch , we took some time to enjoy the views in the sunshine with some amazing cocktails.

Happy Sunday!






Vita Liberata Body Blur //

Tuesday 5 April 2016

I am not going to lie, I was very excited when this came through the letter box...


Vita Liberata's newest family member.... Body Blur

I am a huge Vita Liberate fan, I swear by their 'Luxury Tan' for a golden glow that lasts so I was intrigued to see what all the fuss was about with their latest product. (It has already sold out online) 'Body Blur' is a natural looking tint that lifts your skin tone, adding radiance and a healthy glow. I use it over my fake tan for a night out but it can also be used alone and under foundation for HD ready skin.  Considering I have accumulated quite the 'Tan' collection, this product is unlike anything i have tried before. Essentially, it's a BB cream / body makeup offering a flawless skin finish. The creamy texture blends so easy and a little product goes a long way. It reflects light beautifully giving that glow we all need/want!

I love it.

Bloomin' Springtime //

Sunday 3 April 2016



I saw this Maje skirt recently and fell in love! The flattering cut cinches at the waist (the most narrow part of the body), yet gracefully glides away from the hips and thigh area (amen). Though many petite girls (me) find that A-line skirts can shorten their legs, the trick is finding the perfect length. Enter this one!





My Stella & Dot Alila Cuff added some vintage glamour. See it here LINK!
