Happy Birthday Amy!


Last night was my sister's birthday dinner. How fortunate that I have a spate of birthdays coming up this month giving me the chance to get all dolled up in my newly accquired pieces (through various events like clothes swap, shopping presents etc). Then I have my trip to New York to style myself for-yes you heard, New York, a five day college trip that is only days away at this stage, *squeaks with excitement*. My plan is to watch New York based movies every night until I leave on the 31st, namely; Breakfast at Tiffany's, You've Got Mail, Working Girl, Serendipity and others on the countless list of chick flick classics (Maitiú will be pleased!)


Anyway, back to the event at hand; Amy's birthday dinner. It was a lovely evening, pleasant meal, friendly company and of course the extra effort that my sister and I put into getting ready when it's for such an occassion;that means lipstick, heavily eyelined lids and curls. ;) This cute little velvet playsuit teamed with a mint green belt, mock chanel blazer (borrowed and present from my sister-good taste I must say)cream lace tights and matching brogues was comfortable and cute.Jacket-Christmas present
Belt-Borrowed
Playsuit-€7, Penneys
Tights-€8.99, New Look

Monochrome and Blue....


This is what I wore for one of my oldest friend's 21st birthday last night. My eyes were filled with tears looking at her and how happy she was-radiant one might say-and thinking how amazing it is that the girl I went to playschool with is now so grown up! It also make me feel the years creeping up on me as it's not long until I shall be turning 20! That age somehow makes me feel like I should all of a sudden become an adult and will have to be independent and responsible for ever more! *shudder* growing up sounds scary....

Anyway as I got all dolled up last night I was looking forward to a glorious time but instead, due to circumstances out of my control, didn't turn out to be the night I had anticipated. Feeling a little blue about it today..... Can't help feeling that little niggling selfish feeling of a dress and make up wasted....

But glad you had a wonderful night Iz. xx

Happy New Year ;)

Thought I'd get this year to a start by making a few resolutions and putting a start to my Spring/Summer wardrobe. What's that I hear you say-it's still January? It may still be frosty but those sun beams are having me creating looks, some of them brand new from my December clothes swap (a must for those of you who want to give your wardrobe a spring clean ;) )



So here's today's outfit-80s meets comic book nerd
(ideally I would be laid out on a stack of comics
but Look magazine was all I had to hand!)

New Year's resolutions never ever go well with me but I beleive they do some good, atleast in the first month or two of best intentions that is.....

1. Read more
currently reading Peter Pan :)
2. Update blog more often and gather a sizeable following (hopefully!)
3. Make every effort in my studies in the Irish & Journalism course I'm doing in college and find something that I'll really love doing with it ;)
4. More effort to meet old friends and socialise with close ones
5. The usual: eat well, exercise more, save money, earlier nights, blah, blah, blah...
