Christmas in Clare

What a wonderful life it is-Christmas at home with family-and beautiful Christmas outfits to celebrate the occassion on a budget! Do I ever do it any other way?

Swing jacket-€9, Penneys

Cardigan €6, Charity Shop. Skirt €3, Penneys. Heels €5, Shoe Rack

 

Turns out my family know my all too well-my brother insisted on buying my present in a charity shop! And sure why wouldn't he, isn't this red mini some what of a gem?!

 And of course, a trusty clothes swap nevers goes amiss. This year's haul awarded me with a beautiful velvet plum mini dress.

 ...as well as the means to get a little imaginative!

Merry Christmas all round :)

Winter in Warsaw

I recently went to Poland to visit my best friend who is studying there for a few months. There's nothing nicer than a sunny day with blue skys where its icey cold and the air is crisp. I tried to match my clothes with icey and baby blue shades, broken up with pinks and reds. I don't ever feel the need to go black, brown, navy or grey once winter sets in!
It was nice to get in touch with the things that matter again; just having fun with a friend for the sake of fun. College and life was beginning to get a little heavy. Shopping, walks in the park, coffee breaks, make-up, more coffee, good food, hair dos, cocktails-They were a sure way to make sure that I came home feeling de-stressed and ready for the Christmas season :)

My beautiful best friend and I had much fun with a little photo shoot of our own.

Dumplings-yum!

20 years here, 20 years gone....

It is 20 years ago today that my biggest icon, Freddie Mercury passed away.

In my own 20years I have discovered and loved all that this man sang and wrote.

I still love you Freddie x

SSSsssshhhhhh......

I like lights. That is all. I didn't mention anything of the C word, it's too early for that! But aren't Dublin light's just wonderful?


Isn't there nothing better than a steaming hot chocolate and sweet cupcake with a friend in a beautiful place?






And don't shop windows become a whole artform of their own at certain times of the year?



Can't wait! ;)

I've been going out a lot lately which is giving me a wonderful opportunity to combine everything I love: clothes, shoes, new bargains (red bag was €3!), friends and dancing! ;)


This little number is one of my proudeset creations-the combined cost of my entire outfit-I kid you not-cost €15. Oh yes, that's right!

Earrings were my mothers...

...top was €4 in Charity Shop...

...skirt was €3 in Penneys...

...heels were €5 in Shoe Rack :)

Night out cost a little more than that though ;)

Fancy Dress...

...so em...I'm a little late with this post....but seeing as Holloween is over and neither of my Halloween costumes were all that sppoky I guess I can share them with you anyway ;)

The Queen of Hearts:
hand made card collar and crown
and I was handing out little red hearts all night!

My other also involved white make up and red lips....

...my trusty Japanese Geisha costume!
