Kill City

(Topshop Bag and Jacket, Jeffrey Campbell Fords, American Apparel Skirt, Kill City Jumper)









I hate having barely any time to spend on the actual writing part of my blog. Feels like I'm not giving it enough love or attention. But I seriously have NO time atm. I used to have at least an hour a day spent on bloglovin' picking up ideas and inspirations, but it reached an all time low the other day when my bloglovin' 'unread posts' was 500+ !!!! This sort of this makes me extremely anxious : ( So I think getting up an hour early each day is a must. This was my day two look in London...hope you like! xxx

Royalty

(Bershka Pants, Jeffrey Campbell Ford Heels, Topshop Bag, H&M Jumper, Miss Selfridge Coat)






Austin was doing a course in London this week so I went to visit for a few days. I loved London as usual and I spent my days creeping on the amazing street style!! I have literally been looking for a pair of pants just like these for years now and they were everything I had hoped they'd be. A bit on the low-cut side but just right in every other way. My thesis is due in a month and I have barely started. So the next few weeks will be spent looking like a half-human creature and wearing clothes that I am embarrassed to have hidden in my closet. I'll keep you posted on how it goes, and let you know if I actually find the answer to the topic of my thesis: 'Is Fashion Art?'

Dots and Hearts


(Vintage bag, Topshop Lingerie, Whistles Jumper, Urban Outfitters Blazer, JC Litas)



Was happy how my lingerie held up on my midday stroll!!! Not too many funny looks... always a good sign. I didn't win the styling competition. Missed out by 40 votes :( but because it was so close I am still getting a prize so I'm happy (I'm not actually, I hate losing!). So between not winning and getting a ticket fine for €100, today was not the best of days. My thesis has to be finished in less than a month and it's still looking like a bomb. Im hoping you like the outfit of the day and that your lives are less hectic than mine! Night xxx

Sandro My Valentine

(Topshop Leather Jacket, Jeffrey Campbell Litas, PLAYME leather Shorts, Sandro Shirt, Vintage Bag,  Socks bought on Nasty Gal, Ray Ban Wayfarers)








More pics from my weekend in Sligo. I was very bold buying this shirt but I think when you love something so much you'd trade your whole family for it, you have full approval to splurge : ) It's obvious from my posts this winter I'm loving the navy/black combination and I think this shirt, adding white completes my love affair. Sandro has to be one of my favorite brands at the moment. It's 2012 Spring collection is to die for and even though it's a tad out of my price range, there's no harm in having the odd perve!

Valentine Weekend







(Vintage Scarf and Bag, Jumper from Nasty Gal, Coat Miss Selfridge, Boots Topshop, Urban Outfitters Skirt)

Sorry I'm so late in wishing you a love-filled Valentine's Day. My gmail account caught a virus and my whole blog was shut down. Slightly scary when you go to put up a post and it says your blog has been removed. Panic central. Anyway up and running again thank God. I participated in a styling competition today. My first one! It's being run by a Vintage store in the city centre: 9 Crow Street. Was scary and fun. I enjoyed every minute of it. Love watching how all of us choosing from the same clothes in one shop can come up with totally different styles! I will be giving you a look at my final look tomorrow. Look forward to hearing what you think!

Tacky

(Whistles Jumper, Topshop Shirt, Boots and Bag, PLAYME Leather Shorts)



Yes the print on this shirt is super tacky and I LOVE it!!! I know you're all getting bored of this silly bag, because I definitely am. But cannot afford a new one and will most certainly not splash out one I dont adore. So variety on the bag-front will just have to wait...

Net-a-Porter




(Elizabeth and James Shirt)


(Rag & Bone Shorts)



And it's HERE!! So... what do you think? My first thoughts when I opened it was: JOY. Austin's first response was: "Are you actually going to wear that wizard's cape?" I'm lucky I love Harry Potter and would be quite proud to look like a Wizard!!! I'm totally in love with both items, especially my 'cape'. The shorts, much to my disappointment are rather on the large size, so will have to get them tailored to fit. But I know once they're finished they will be perfection. Can't wait to style them....

The Cliffs

(Urban Outfitters Jacket and Skirt, Topshop Brogues and Bag, Cos T-shirt)




I went on weekend trip to the west of Ireland (again) mainly as an excuse not to work. We visited the Ciffs of Mohair which, as you can see, are AMAZERS!!! This is a trip everyone should take. Preferably on a warmer, calmer day, where you don't nearly get blown over the edge. Do you love this jacket as much I do. I DOUBT it!!!!
