She Returns.

Wow! It's been a while, on account of me finding a temporary job to exclusively fund my shopping binges (it's either food or clothes for me, and the choice is surprisingly easy), but I'm so over manual labour right now, so it's back to blogging myself happy! Keep tuned for more fashion filled rants, coming soon!! xx

FLORAL Me Happy!

Summer is here people!! I've been all about the barbecues and road trips for a couple of weeks now, and have finally come to the conclusion that style wise, the most practical outfits are those that transfer easily from day wear into night, just in case that afternoon drink at the pub accidentally runs into the sunkissed evening. It's times like this that I miss London, a city made for heady summer nights.Still, Ireland can fairly rock this season too, and right now, it's floral time! Appropriate for during the day, but punky and fash enough to make you look pulled-together chic standing at the bar. Unsurprisingly, Topshop have monopolised the trend, and I have to hand it to them, the name 'New Florals' totally reflects their take on a style that used to be seen as ditsy and sickly sweet. They've either gone for darker colours to set the floral pattern in, or added skulls that really pack a punch and stand out. Take a look at some of my faves!

I Covet Chloë

I have a definite style crush on this girl! And I got butterflies when I saw this outfit that she wore to the Nightlife Preservation Community Launch, hosted by her good self. The slogan on her tee refers to her brother's Beatrice Inn, a restaurant that was padlocked in April this year due to apparent building violations- though rumours suggest it was rather for underage drinking and/or drug use. Whatever, I'm just interested for the tee. And that grey cardigan! So laid-back chic it's making me dizzy! Funnily enough, I recently bought a long cardigan in the Gap sale:

This photo doesn't really do it justice, but I'm wearing it today with a bright red/orange tank in a bid to recreate some of Chloë's cool. I know, keep dreaming Annabelle.

Totally converted.

Ok, so these shoes have been available in America for years, but I finally spotted a pair in Office after lusting after them but having to resist paying double the price by importing them from the US. Converse Ox Lite, in my humble opinion, completely trump Keds, Fred Perrys and Vans. I needed a new pair of sneakers after London wreaked havoc on my gorge slip on Keds, so much so that I actually took decisive action and threw them out. These are the perfect replacements! I've always thought that Converse soles were way too thick to wear without jeans over them, but the thin soles on these babys suit me down to the ground. I'm going to pound the city streets in these bad boys, pairing them with my awesome Topshop jeggings- perfect for this strangely hot summer that Ireland has got going on- loving it!
