Party Pants


I do love me a printed pant! And where better to wear this brightly coloured pair than while on holiday in a warm place.  I paired these "party pants" with a simple black top and my trusty leather jacket.  A leather jacket is a must have staple for any wardrobe.  I invested in this one from Sandro a few years ago and continue to wear it often.  It's worth spending a bit more money on this wardrobe essential as you can wear it year after year.  I also love the leather fringe detailing on this top.  Thanks for stopping by and Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Americans out there! xo

Seaside in Sitges


While in Spain, we popped over for a day trip in the seaside town of Sitges which is only a 30 minute train ride from Barcelona.  It is an adorable town with lots of character and is buzzing with life in the summer months.  The weather was actually quite cold so I had to throw on some leggings under my skirt and a leather jacket.  It was not the outfit I originally intended on wearing, and this may not be one of my best looks!  But hey, it was practical and even fashionistas have to improvise sometimes! xo

Red Lips


I recently returned from a holiday in Barcelona and it's been tough coming back to the rain and gloom of Ireland after enjoying a week basking in the sun.  Barcelona is one of my favourite European cities.  It is full of all the things I love - top class Michelin star restaurants, gorgeous architecture (hello Gaudi!) and the best shopping (Zara, Mango and Massimo Duti are all Spanish brands - just to name a few).  

I wore this embelished T-shirt that I picked up in H&M for just 10 euros!  I love the textured sequins on the red lips.  I also decided to jump on the hat band wagon with this fedora from Penney's.  Hats are a great way to automatically make an outfit feel "cool", or at least I think so anyways!  There were so many amazing backdrops to photograph as well.  I will post more holiday outfits throughout the week,  xo

Winter Florals


I just bought this striped floral top from Penney's.  The dark colors make it a perfect way to wear florals during the A/W season.  The top also has a really cute matching skirt, but unfortunately it was sold out, so I paired it with this high-wasted see through skirt from www.minusey.com.  This is a South Korean online clothing store and it's great to pick up cute bits that no one else will have. xo

Leather Pants Two Ways


I recently bought these vegan leather trousers in H&M and they were a steal at under 30 euros.  Vegan leather is great as it's way cheaper than real leather and easier to take care of too.  These pants are so comfortable that I have been wearing them nearly every weekend.  I paired them with a Zara coat with quilted leather sleeves and also with a Zara blanket scarf.  Large plaid scarves are huge this season and I think the best selection can be found at Penney's and Zara. xo

Turtle Necks and Tutus

I was in beautiful Ards National Park amoungst all the autumn leaves falling off the trees and I took the opportunity to have an impromptu photo shoot in this outfit that I love for fall!  I will most definitely be rocking turtle necks this season.  I think they are just so chic (not to mention practical for keeping warm!)  I also recently bought this hat in Penney's for less than 5 euros.  It doesn't come out that well in the photos, but it has a really cute mesh bow and jewel detail.  What is your favourite fall trend? xo

Monochrome at the G


I was in Galway a few weeks ago for a medical conference and I decided to stop by the G hotel for a bite to eat and one of their famous cocktails.  This hotel is a bloggers dream - it was designed in part by milliner Phillip Treacy and has so many unique and gorgeous features.  I just so happened to het chatting to photographer Peter Harkin who was there to shoot a wedding and he took these gorgeous photos for me.  (It sure beats my husband or four year old taking the photos!!)  Check out his work here: www.peterharkin.com
