OOTD - J Brand Capri & Louboutin

Here is my outfit from last night.  Lately my go to pieces are jeans, flowy tops and heels. I feel like I'm stuck in a rut so my new challenge is to try and mix it up and put more effort into my outfits.
I love these skinny cropped J Brand capri jeans, the only thing is that I find that they stretch a lot around my knees which isn't ideal but nothing that washing them cant fix :)

Can anyone recommend a nice park of dark wash cropped jeans? I'm not the tallest at 5'3 hence why I try and get them cropped :P 

JEANS: J Brand | SHOES: Louboutin Paulina old, (slingback) | TOP: Primark (similar) |

Leighton Denny

My favourite polish of the week is the amazingly hot pink nail varnish by Leighton Denny!

It's one of those really summery shades that lifts your mood whenever you look at your nails! Then again I find painting my nails very VERY therapeutical!

Let me introduce you to plush pink! Such a pretty colour! But it does look more purple with the flash on..just a FYI :) x

My little Mulberry purchase!

Okay so I manage to get my little paws on a beautiful mulberry heritage bay! And I'm in love with it! It's soooo soft and just the right size! What are your favourite bags/brands?


I'm also thinking about getting either the Boston web bag by Gucci or the speedy 30 by LV. But I really can't decide which one to get :( any advice really appreciated :)

5 min makeup

I was running out the door this morning and only had 5 min to get ready. As I'm becoming older (I'm already in my mid twenties :) I've started using less product and listening to my skins needs much better than I did a few years ago.
Today I've used the products that I'm currently LOVING :)
Products used
The foundation used is the healthy glow by bourjois I think I'm a 51 but it's still a bit too dark!
Mineral powder in medium, MAC
Summer warmth bronzed by BR, got this in this months glossybox. And I love the glow it gives.
Bobbi brown cream blush in pale pink, I love this stuff on lips and cheeks . It gives such a nice English rose glow. It's adorable!
Pinky/white eyeliner from M&S
And my all time favourite mascara, hypnose by Lancôme

Nails of the week

Below is one of the nail colours I've been loving this week! Of course there was a few pinky budey colours as well but this post is dedicated to AWOL from topshop as its such a beautiful sky blue colour that is a dream to apply!
This blue nail varnish is from topshop and retails for about 5 pounds :) to me it seems to be of good quality! This shade has made me want to try out their other pastel shades!! Maybe I'll try a pink one.

The colour is AWOL! Its stunning and looks great on toes!

Have any of you tried the topshopnail varnishes and if so what did you think? xx

Versace for H & M

I absolutely love the leather jacket and the skirt

Oh wow! I just found out about the collaboration between Versace and H&M and I absolutely love it!! The pieces that I have seen so far are so lovely and the detailing is pretty AMAZING!!

I’m absolutely in love with the leather dress and the studded jacket! Well actually I just love all the items but won’t be able to afford them all.
Now the question is if it’s worth queuing all morning before work to get my little paws on a few of these items!

According to their statement
"The womenswear collection will be dominated by dresses featuring studded leather, silk and colorful print, with accessories including high heels and costume jewelery. The men's collection will focus on sharp tailoring, including 'the perfect tuxedo', as well as belts and jewelery, while for the first time in a designer collaboration at H&M, the collection will include some homeware pieces, including cushions and a bedspread."

Im going to try and get this amazing leather dress, its just so sexy!

Chanel Peridot

I have been working extra late for the past week so decided to treat myself with a few goodies! My mother was running out of her favourite chanel sycamore coco rouge lipstick (and by the way she has tried so many lipstick and this is the best she has ever used, highly recommended) So while I was getting that for her as a little treat I also decided to look at their new autumn winter 2011 collection. I spotted it about a week and a half ago but I didn get the time to test the products and was looking forward to getting them all week long. So when I finally wasn’t working a 12 hr day I went into Brown Thomas and decided to treat myself.



I’m a big MASSIVE fan of nail varnish, but I always tend to go for the same colours in different tones and finishes. It’s always reddish and nudey colours, of course there are a few exceptions I do love the pinks and wear some brighter shades during the summer but I am not immediately attracted to them.

I absolutely love how it looks with other metallics!

But when I saw the goldy-green with a hint of teal in the little beautiful bottle I immediately fell in love! I wanted to get it there and then but when I went up to the makeup artist she told me that it was sold out! I was devastated it was one of those days when you want to get something, anything and there was nothing I wanted apart from this and it was sold out!


So i ended up going the next day, when they were meant to have their delivery and managed to get the second last. Its quite costly, in Ireland it retails for €21 but it has not chipped at all for over four days and the colour makes me smile every time I look at my nails.

What are your favorite items at the moment? x
