Hope everybody is enjoying the great weather today!

With my birthday last month I feel like I have spent the past month shopping!! I got some great pieces in Zara and River Island. I am heading off to New York on Thursday and probably one of the only people who actually goes out and buys new clothes for going. I decided a few weeks ago that I really had to stop buying black clothes, and did I? Maybe, kind of 😂

I got these gorgeous shoes in Zara, the colour is fab and they were a bargain for €39.95. I have to admit Zara have some great pieces at some great prices! Click here to purchase.

I am in love with this bomber jacket I got in Zara, depending on the weather I will either were a long or short sleeved top underneath. Its not exactly a jacket to keep you warm. Zara have some gorgeous bomber jackets and the prices are quite good, this one was €39.95. Click here to purchase.

I bought 3 of these sleeveless tshirts, they are long length with a slit on each side. I got the white, khaki and stripe ones, they might have more colours online. These will look great with some chunky statement necklaces. Plus they were a bargain at €5.95.

I got these jeans in River Island, everytime I went into the shop I kept looking at them so I decided to try them on and loved them on. They come in a few different denim colours aswell ans have a distressed ankle effect. These are €55 and in store now.

I also got this necklace, love simple and cute it is. Looks pretty expensive and it was only €10! Click here to purchase.

Anybody buying anything over the next few weeks, River Island have 25% off with U magazine until the 2nd of May.

Hope you like these pieces!

Realising as I am doing these posts on the current mid season sales that I am drawn towards dark colours. I really need to make myself look and buy some nice bright colours. Even my post the other day on the River Island sale is also full dark colours.

Here are my favourite pieces from Topshop. I love this jumper (pity the one instore had a dodgy zip 😣) its a shirt and jumper all in one and felt like it made my legs look skinny!!! The jumper is reduced to €30 can’t find it online anymore 😑 but I am sure some stores will still have it in stock.

image

I actually bought the below top when I was at the Galway Fashion Trail it was €26 and reduced to €13 instore. (Click here to buy)

image

I think this is probably the worst blog post ever because the below two tops are probably not online, the were both €7 each but then I suppose at least I am helping in saying there is some great bargains in Topshop sale??

My love for this top was a bit mixed, I love the detail in the sleeves but not sure about how baggy the top is. I will wear it with white skinny jeans and a pair of navy heels I got last year.

image

This top I love the detail, I plan on wearing it out with white skinny jeans (haven’t decided on the shoes) for my birthday this week.

Hope you enjoyed that and thank you so much for reading!!

When Wolford got in contact with me about collaborating with them and trying out a product from their range, I jumped at the chance. Wolford sell a variety of high-end hoisery products and all of the styles look amazing.  I used to work in retail and we had requests daily from customers requesting the store to sell this brand. These are my first pair of tights from Wolford and I love that they have so many different styles, it was so hard to pick a pair!  I picked the Trish tights (they come in skin and black, both with black lace up detail) I love the lace up detail on the tights!!  I chose the black colour as they go with more of the clothes in my wardrobe (I wear a lot of dark colours), and in my opinion suit the Irish weather 🙂

image

Lace up shoes are huge this year and these tights are great to add to a stiletto or even a pair of flats to dress up your outfit and turn your normal shoes into this seasons style.  You can probably tell I am not used to posing for pictures, I tried so hard to get a great picture of the tights to really show the detail but was struggling as I didn’t know how to pose.  I really have to research into posing and lighting!!

So as this is my first time wearing these Wolford tights, do I think they are worth the money?

I think they are, I can notice the difference between tights from different brands, one thing I hate is the thin little waistband on some tights that roll the second you sit down.  These tights have quite a wide waistband that is flattering to the figure as it doesn’t dig in and cause those horrible lines in dresses.  Their designs are different and stand out, these can be the statement piece for your outfit so I definitely think they are worth investing in.

I personally struggle with buying skin tone tights and after trying these black tights, I have high expectations of the Wolford brand and expect that they will have the perfect skin tone tight for me.

I hand wash any of my good tights, there is always the risk of the tights getting caught on something in the machine.

Wolford tights are available to purchase in a few of the department stores in Dublin, you can also purchase them on www.wolfordshop.ie and they offer free delivery and free returns, you really can’t get better than that.

Starting to get very excited for my holidays, heading to Tenerife for a week at the start of May and I am dreaming of sunbathing and cocktails!! I love having loads of new clothes going on holidays so I am going to do a blog post every week up until I go with my purchases that week. I know the week I am going I will panic buy, even though I know there is Zara and Stradivarious.  I like to be comfy and dressy on holidays, I tend to wear flat sandals for most of my holiday because I love walking loads and exploring.

So I bought these trousers in Penneys, and for 10euro they are a great bargain!  I bought a black and cream pair last year and Penneys and they are so comfy and dressy. I still have to buy tops to go with them, but a plain tshirt or off the shoulder top is what I am thinking of getting.

I got these really cute shorts in River Island, I love the khaki colour and they can be worn casual during the day and dressed up at night with a nice top and some chunky jewellery.  They are a good price at 30euro, here is a link: http://eu.riverisland.com/women/shorts/denim-shorts/khaki-high-waisted-shorts-666710
image

I got this pink tshirt in River Island, I thought it was really cute and I will wear it with white skinny jeans.  I got a pair in River Island last year and I love them! The tshirt was only 17euro, here is a link: http://eu.riverisland.com/women/t-shirts–vests–sweats/plain-t-shirts–vests/pink-short-sleeve-sheer-ribbed-t-shirt-668362

I got these sandals in Penneys and I love them!! I got the nude pair before two years ago and lived in them, they are so comfy and dressy!!  Last year in Malta and Sicily we walked loads, think my pedometer was something like 130kms over the two weeks and I was wearing these for a majority of it!!  I got a black pair last year.  They are 10euro and sell out so quick, so get in quick girls!!
image

I love buying jewellery as I think it really makes an outfit, I got this necklace on eBay and I am in love with it!

I will post more next week 😆
