over there...

Hey guys... I am still working hard on my final year show! Working nine to nine everyday (which is probably less than some people but it's killing me. So sleepy... Thank God it's nearly over. Anyway just thought I'd share a guest post I did on RTE's Two Tube about summer accessories. Sure take a gander and see what you think.

Ok back to work now :(

Apologies...

Apologies for the severe lack of posting... Last few weeks of college ever and this girl has got a lot of work to do! I just cannot find the time to sit down and write a decent post so until these hectic few weeks are over I may be away from the blog. If I find the time I will indeed put up a post and I really want to do a post on our exhibition, so hopefully I can get that done at least!

Until then my dears xx

I am working.... working hard. College life will soon be over and I can go back to dressing pretty, going out and having a good time. But until then I will dream of and be inspired by the things I see as I surf the web (while resting of course).

I will continue to love adorable couples photos, insist on devouring odd looking pizzas, lust after gorgeous bullet bras (which look really comfortable), wonder whether to dive into the world of dip dye and search for the perfect suit!

work update...

Sorry for the lack of posting... Have been seriously trying to get stuck into my final project, which is a fashion magazine (Hurray!) Thought I'd give you all just a taster of some of the visuals I've made for it. Each style is for a different article that thankfully a few helpful bloggers wrote for me. Thanks Sarah, Catherine and Sinead for that! And also thanks to Margaret from 4ngsquared2 for being my beautiful model.

Hopefully it'll all work out and I'll have a killer little magazine on my hands!

dirty...

Love this cover... Mainly because that madam there is big and beautiful and full of attitude! She is a burlesque dancer and goes by the name of Dirty Martini. She's funny, she's outrageous and I want her swimsuit!

tee...

The next few weeks are gonna be hectic! Painfully hectic... With my final project due as well as my portfolio and an exhibition to get ready for I feel fashion is gonna fall by the way side (even if I am making a fashion magazine for the final project/exhibition.) I think if I have time tomorrow I might pop into a few shops and pick up some loose fitting graphic tees. Something cool, a little bright and very busy. And I really don't care what print is on it, a photo, a mirrored design, stripes, a doodle, type; I'll take them all! I always think they are a great solution to dealing with busy days without resorting to the dreaded tracksuit. Shudder.

Yes, the next month or so will be filled with loose tops and and comfy pants... Personally I would love these beauties which you can find on Asos.

easy comfort...

I ache today... Being "fit" all of a sudden is hurting me. Damn those runs! So being comfortable was essential to me today. At least I figured that out after being in a fitted enough dress and high heels.* I needed to change. I craved trousers! Unfortunately mine are all in the wash (all two of them) and these pair are on their last legs! No pun intended... 

I need to stop buying shoes and buy some serious clothes. By serious I mean stuff I actually need. Like more trousers, especially if this weather continues. I can't stand wearing tights anymore (the sheer effort of putting them on in the morning is heartbreaking) but bare legs is an obvious no no, so trousers are indeed needed. Plus they look more casual and I really don't own enough "nice" casual things. 

I am currently rectifying the matter...

*I am aware I am still wearing heels but what you need to understand is that these heels are like wearing flats... so so comfortable!

Sheer shirt: H&M

Trousers: Oasis

Loafers: Clarks

pants...

I want these pants! They're blue, gingham, cropped and high waisted! Simply perfect for the summer months (whenever they decide to come). AND they are on sale. What's not to love?!?!? Frankly I don't care if no one else likes them, they are being bought! Well they will be bought soon... very soon.

white flowers...

It seems the weather is going back to it's old ways. Grrr... I was getting used to not wearing tights. Oh well! At least I am wearing a spring dress plus it is made of wool so I ain't all that cold and I feel very pretty. I also get to look at this beautiful blossom tree in my front garden. So white that it actually glows at night. Though those damn petals go everywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE!

I haven't shown you these shoes yet. They were my birthday present from my parents and they are adorable! Who can't adore love heart loafers!? And they were on sale... even better.

Dress: Oasis

Belt: Dunnes

Tights: Penneys

Locket: Gift

Loafers: Red or Dead

jay miranda...

I know I don't normally talk about being big and curvy and all that but sometimes my weight does get me down. I don't feel as sexy or as fashionable as some slimmer people I know. And I do think a lot of curvy women think this. But then I see someone like Jay Miranda, an American fashion blogger that has one serious booty, a fantastic wardrobe and the confidence to match. She rocks looks that I would never dream of attempting purely from fear of being too big for certain styles.

For me it just goes to show that whether you're a size 8 or a size 28 you can still looking amazing as long as you wear it with confidence! Fashion is not our enemy, weight is not our enemy, it's ourselves that's the enemy. My goal this year is to be healthy and get fit. If this means I lose some extra pounds that's great! If I don't, I know I can still feel healthy and be confident in my own skin.
