Dream the impossible Dream!










1) Nicole Richie's Marchesa Wedding dress
2) Love the button detail and the petticoat affect, reminds me of the dress in 'Sleeping Beauty'
3)The dress that Malin Akerman wears in 27 Dresses, By Amsale
4) Carrie wears this stunning dress to the Black and White Ball in one of the final episodes of series 4 of Sex and the City
5) Carrie again, Neckline Detail
6) Ellery Resort '11 Collection, Source: Studded Hearts
7) Princess Grace Kelly, Designed by Helen Rose
8) Vogue Nippon March 2010
9) Keira Knightley, in white this dress could be the perfect wedding gown
10) Carolina Herrera Wedding Dress, From British Vogue May 2011

I think why I've always favoured the colour white when opting clothing is my long-lasting love for wedding dresses :) All of these dresses, from the minor details to the overall shape, embody the perfect elements to which I hope my wedding dress(es) have! What a fabulous day it shall be......

I hate admitting to finding something i love so much from River Island! But saw this in the window and I couldn't resist. The layered detail on the sleeves and it's tulip-shaped silhouette make it like nothing I own.

I know, I know.....navy and black again. I promise I'll stop! What started off as a horrible day, missing my train and actually having to use an umbrella, turned out not so bad after all. Presentation in college went well and was brought for lunch by my cousin. Plus I felt happy in my cosy collar!

Loving navy and black together at the moment. It was the black velvet buttons that made me want this coat! This scarf: new favorite possession :)

Budgetless Binging

Binge of the week!!! Dying to collaborate all these items. The dress, unfortunately, is going to sit lonely in my closet until New Years Eve, but that will make the occasion all the more lovely! Excitedly tried on the brogues for my boyfriend and he said i looked like a 'clown'. I'm hoping they'll have a more positive response from all of you! Bought this amazingly PERFECT scarf on a new vintage site: RetroSpec. So simple. Just like them on facebook, comment on the item you would like to purchase and its yours! Missed out on this exquisite vintage Valentino blazer for only €75! Anyone looking for unique pieces should like it this instance! Outfit post tomorrow including some of my binge items....

Winter Wish List 2011

By Austin Rhatigan

1.Topshop Cable Pom Pom Beanie
2.Moschino Belt
3.Barbour Vintage Beadnell Waxed Jacket
4.The Row Backpack Alligator
5.COS A-Line Buttonless Shirt
6.Topshop Satin Short by Boutique
7.Jeffrey Campbell Warrant Platform Boot
8.House of Harlow Chelsea Cat Eye
9.Odyssey White/Pink Quad Roller Skates

Im obsessed with the idea of starting skating again! I remember my first pair of roller blades and they were glued to my feet for the better part of my childhood. I mean, what is more fun than rollerblading??!! These items are must-haves for my December looks. Not only is there multiple outfits within them, but they are super versatile and would complete so many other outfits in my wardrobe. Thinking the Barbour wax jacket is at the top of my list, and the Backpack is only to dream of as it is way out of my price range! PS Thanks to lollipop26 and the blogging community for being tremendously friendly and supportive in promoting my blog :)

The West

Spent the weekend on the west coast of Ireland with a few of the girls. Was a fabulous mini-holiday. I felt so comfortable in this outfit and was able to change into my wellies for the walk along the beach, and still felt like my outfit was complete. I've always loved how Rumi Neely layers her tops and am beginning to get the gist of it....i think! This blouse is aaages old but i adore the subtle butterfly detail. I could never throw it out :) Hope for those of you who haven't been to Ireland, these pics will inspire you to make the journey.
