When I grow up

Not so long ago some famous pussycats declared that when they grew up they wanted to be in movies, drive fast cars and have rather impressive décolletages. All I wish for in my elder years Ladies and fellers  is to be Emma Stone.

Hey, What's in that bag?

Zara May

Of all the lookbooks in the world I have to say I do quite enjoy Zara's ones, but to be honest I wasn't overwhelmed by May's issue. I did however learn two things;

1. I have the BIGGEST urge to buy a pair of harem pants, I'm not even sure they'd suit me but the thought of wearing pajama-like pants while appearing relatively stylish, HOW can you resist?. Any recommendations for good places to buy? I'm thinking penneys for starters?

2. I would very much like this dress, and again it's not really my style. I think this may be due to the feather earrings I bought the other day, they've gotten into my head and infected it with faux-boho taste.


On the other hand; Very cute Men's section! Bravo Zara.

You can find all of the May Zara lookbook here.

Alright Emma Watson...

We get it. Your stunning. I'm Jealous.

A few little updates...

1. finally managed to catch up with everyone else and do my theory test for driving. I passed! which means I am officially allowed out on the road this summer, how exciting... and terrifying.

2. Don't worry I haven't forgotten about my Summer Staples project. I'm busy trying to find the puurfect items for my staple wardrobe, that includes the two gems above. All going well I'll be ready to unveil the lot to ya's by the start of next month!

3. We got around to watching Never let me go the other night and not to ruffle any feathers but I hated it! It has to be the most depressing movie ever. It is so depressing that in the final monologue  Carey Mulligan ( who I ♥  in real life btw) kindly reminds us that we're all going to die someday, how joyous...

4. I also have a clothing DIY on the way this week on how to spruce up old cardigans, if anyone is interested in that sorta thing?

Anyways, hope you all have lovely weekend chicks!

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

I've been gone for awhile, I'm not going to pretend I haven't but I am deeply sorry. Please accept these lovely pictures by Nick Onken as an apology.

Disclaimer; I have not taken nor do I own the images above. 

Your Beautiful eye...

I'm sorry but these photos by Suren Manvelyan of the human eye go beyond photography!

Check out the amazing photos here.

Car boot Sale

Oh car boot sales the things I find at you amongst the second hand books and hoovers.

1.Turquoise Ring - €2, you kind of reminded me of the YSL ring that's oh so popular round these parts but you're obviously different in price...

I don't know about you but I am not a devout catholic folks, however I am  partial to a bit of chocolate, so a day in which loved ones bestow on us mounds of the stuff is alright with me

. Have a wonderful sunday chicks!

Galaxy Print Diy?

Gosh I really want to fashion myself up a galaxy print piece of clothing. I'm searching for some Fabric spray paint but for now lets just have some inspirational images!

Weekend Purchases #2

I don't know if you guys have noticed this but the sun has seemed to find its way back to Ireland in the last few weeks, so my sole purchase this weekend was the only beauty product you need to get you through these long summer months...

The Sounds of Sunday

Cage The Elephant - Shake me Down

Jon Fratelli - Rhythm Doesn't make you a dancer 

Little Comets - Adultery

Eugene McGuinness - Monsters

Taken Down in Evidence

Something you may not know about me yet is my love for finding old books by chance about the place. My heart just goes out to the little forgotten gems, especially if they're picture books cause I'm lazy like that.

Taken Down in Evidence by Leo Regan just so happened to stumble past me the other day. It's a series of images and interview that delve into the daily working lives of the Irish Garda circa 1995...

Weekend Purchases

1. Found the perfect striped top for my Summer Staples Challenge and of course it was found the first place that comes to mind when stripes are mentioned H&M...

Summer Staples (ss); Preparation

So I have whittled down my wardrobe to the bare essentials and I'm missing eight key pieces.

Before Picture and shopping list after \/\/

Primark/Pennys Summer 2011

What a calamity, I swear that I am off  buying random pieces of clothing for the summer and then Pennys come out with there summer line and make a tiny bit of regret form in my heart.

But I'm going to power through! Looking doesn't count as cheating though, right?...

Dear Instyle

 Oh Instyle uk, I don't think you realize how much I would love to don workwear clothes,

but alas I am struggling in my attempt to find a summer job ( sad face).

If I were to ever find employment I would also love to be clothed in the following outfits...

Miniature Swag

Skipped into Dublin city last week during a school trip, I know we're such anarchists. Anyway this is the the result of said day...

Summer Sorted

So I had a little epiphany while sitting in maths class today, if i have 5 tops, 5 bottoms and 5 jackets/cardigans I can create 125 different outfits and thats before accessories! I have roughly 91 days of summer to dress for, excluding outfits for nights out.
I know such impressive math skills...


So over the next few weeks I will be shopping for these 15 key pieces and hopefully documenting it along the way! but I will need your help, so tell me what pieces can you not live without?

I'm Sorry...

You've all probably gotten so sick of me falling in love with things around here, BUT HAVE YOU SEEN THIS SWATCH ADD!

A Concealment...

Ah, there clearly is nothing better than slathering your face in honey on a gloomy Saturday morning, right? Maybe not, but I did it anyway! as a favor to a neighbor doing a project (I know I'm such a martyr) and the  results you may ask? pretty dazzling! My skin is comparable to a baby's bottom and all thanks to;

The Cleopatra Face Mask

1 tsp of honey
1 tbs of Milk 

1 Egg White

( you can also replace milk for milk powder for a thicker consistency )

Just slap it on, wait half an hour, wash off with hot water and afterwards you'll be luminous ;)

Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight: always try to be a little kinder than is necessary?

Cause your words don't translate

I'm having a valiant day off school and catching up on missed television while recuperating from the weekend. How much is everyone loving Lilly Allen: From Rags to Riches?

 I took a jaunt over to the Lucy in disguise website and found these little gems by Mariell Amelie...
