Birds of a Feather


Who doesn't love a good statement coat?  Mostly I've been wearing faux fur this winter, but this ostrich feather jacket from www.minusey.com is a fun and unique way to mix things up a bit!  The coat is so soft and fluffy and the feathers blow in the breeze and move when you walk - I just love it!  I kept the rest of my outfit simple to really let the jacket shine.  The mixed metal chain necklace is new from River Island.  I really like wearing silver and gold together for a chic look. xo

Side Slits and a Fringe




Well, it's only a few weeks into January and I'm back to my monochrome ways!  It's a well known fact that New Years resolutions don't last very long. . .When it comes to fashion, it makes sense to stick to a tried and true formula that works for your body type while staying true to your personal style.  That being said, it's fun to try new things and push the boundaries out as well!  I bought this sweater at Cos last week in Dublin.  It's part of the new collection and a great way to transition into the spring while staying warm.  I love the unique buttons down the side that you can wear open or closed for layering.  xo

Pleated Leather


I'm sure you may have noticed by now that one of my staple styles is high waisted skirts, crop tops and anything monochrome.  This is a fashion formula that just seems to work for me every time.  Keeping the neckline high and the hemline long ensures the look stays classy.  I recently braved the icy roads to make a shopping trip down to Dublin and I picked up this leather look skirt in Top Shop.  It's part of the new SS15 collection.  I am so over the sales at this stage as they never have my size left in stock and everything is picked through. The stores were full of gorgeous SS clothes, so let's hope this weather lifts soon! xo

Capes and Plaid




I took these pictures a few days ago before snow blanketed Ireland and you could still wear clothes like these without absolutely freezing to death!  I got this high waisted Sandro skirt in the sales at Brown Thomas.  It's super versatile and I am going to wear it to work with a smart collared shirt and also on  nights out with a crop top.  On this occasion, I paired it with a cropped sweater and cape to keep warm.  xo

Double Dressing


Up here in Donegal, after a mild December winter has finally kicked in and we are getting a few snow flurries and high winds.  But I am sick of wearing pants all the time so today I wore two dresses doubled up on top of each other for warmth.  The longer green dress is a light weight silk dress and I topped it off with a sweater dress, scarf and beanie hat, because baby, it's cold outside!!  Most of the items I am wearing are purchased recently and are now available in the sales.  xo

Fresh Princess


Happy new year everyone! As one of my resolutions, I would like to try to incorporate more colour into my wardrobe. . .starting after this outfit post!  I decided to call this look "Fresh Princess" because it reminds me a lot of my childhood in the early 90's growing up and watching "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" on TV.  If anyone else remembers and loves that show as much as I do, then you will know what I am talking about! The faux fur coat is very princessey like Hilary, while the Isabel Marant high tops and crop top are a bit more funky like Will.  This outfit is a great laid back alternative to a dress or skirt for going out.  And I must say the coat was a steal in Penney's for only 40 euros and looks much more expensive! xo
