London Style Diary


Last week I had the pleasure of being back in one of my favourite cities in the world - London!  I used to visit regularly as it is only a short plane flight from Ireland, but since the birth of my kids I haven't been back.  I also stopped by Cambridge University for a few days for some higher learning     ( a Dementia Course for my job - it was fantastic, but I won't bore you with the details.)  

London is so stylish and cosmopolitan.  There are so many amazing shops and restaurants and the Christmas markets this time of year are great as well!  I wore some casual, yet chic outfits and flat black Chelsea boots from Zara because I did a lot of walking!  I personally love sparkle, especially around Christmas, so I incorporated this gold jumper and silver pleated skirt into my holiday wardrobe.  Hope you all are having a great holiday season! xo

Sketch x Balmain x H&M



Fashion, food and all things chic came together perfectly this past Friday night when I had a weekend off from the kids and met my friends for dinner at Sketch in London.  I had been waiting for the perfect occasion to rock my Balmain x H&M purchases and this was it!  I would highly recommend a night out in Sketch if you happen to be in London.  Not only is the food amazing, but it's the decor and the ambiance that really make this experience special!  We dined in the Gallery, which was very reminiscent of Dynasty in the 80's with plush pink chairs and cool art work on the walls.  The bathrooms are particularly trippy - the toilets are in these egg pods (pictured below).  My dress was velvet which is perfect for the holidays and this necklace made me feel regal like an Egyptian queen. Did any of you manage to get your hands on the Balmain x H&M collection? xo
