City Chic!

Hi dolls! :D

(I had to put a smiley face in. I'm just in such a good mood from being in New York Last week. I am most definitely moving there some time in the near future.)

This weeks post is about a jumpsuit I bought in a shop called Century21 in New York down by Wall street. It is a massive! and when I say massive I don't mean gorgeous like some people say here in Dublin, Ireland. When I say massive, I mean HUGE. It has 5 floor, all packed full of last seasons designer clothes, handbags, accessories, watches, lingerie, nightwear and much more. And it is all for both men and women. If you are ever get a chance to go to New York, go there.

I bought this jumpsuit by 'city triangles'. It's obviously some designer that is located in America and has not made it worldwide. It cost me $30... WITHOUT tax. Thirty dollars in euro is 22.07. How good is that for designer? None of the clothes, accessories and everything I mentioned above, do not have tax on them. It's brilliant!

$30 designer jumpsuit

It is a medium because Americas small size over there is about a size 4-6. I'm an 8. I love it though. Such vibrant colours and you can wear it with sandals, which is in my blog post 'Playful Playsuits', or high heels on a night out. Nude shoes would be perfect and a cream or nude blazer for the Spring or Summer months. Then black or navy shoes and blazer or jacket for the Winter.

See my other posts 'Summer Outfit', 'Spring Has Arrived', 'Sunny College Day Look' and 'Dressy-casual night look' for jacket, blazer and shoe inspiration.

My bag to match this outfit is a label called 'London Fog'. I had never heard of them until I went to America. They do very nice luggage and handbags. They are an American owned brand. Take a look at their website of you like the look of the bag below. (Link at bottom of page.)  I would use this bag when I am going to lunch with my girls. It is last seasons stock, but I absolutely adore it. It cost me $50 which is €36.78, which is a very good price for a designer handbag.

I would use this clutch below if I was going out for drinks or dinner, with my blazer on. Hehe.

Night out bag with outfit, Penneys, €7

The accessory I wore with this outfit was a silver and white ring. I just wore one accessory because the outfit spoke for itself. It did not need a whole lot of jewllery to make it look chic. This ring can be seen in my blog post 'Dressy-casual night look'. It's fab! I bought it at a market stall in Barcelona on Las Ramblas. They have gorgeous jewellery (obviously not real gold and silver), very cheap.

This is my final look.

I hope you like it.

Final look.

Blazer time!!

Until next time...

Playful Playsuits

This week I will be talking about playsuits.

Since it is the summer time (well in other countries besides Ireland anyway), it is the perfect time to get that old playsuit out of your wardrobe and put it to good use.

Or even better, buy one. There are plenty to choose from out there if you look hard enough.

I love playsuits because you can wear them to a casual gathering, the beach or out for dinner. All you have to do is add a blazer to the playsuit and you're a sexy, stylish woman.

Can you guess where I bought mine? That's right! PENNEYS!

I probably seem like an ambassador for Penneys, but I am a poor student in need of a job. Therefore I shop in Penneys most of the time. Not only that, but they have so many stylish pieces for such good prices.

This is the playsuit I bought for €11 in Penneys.

It is so comfortable to walk around in all day. Even in hot balmy weather because it does not cling to your body.

Playsuit: €11, Penneys

The shoes I would wear with this would be sandals because I am usually in a country with warm sunny weather. These are the sandals I bought. Also from Penneys. €13.

Sandals; €13, Penneys

These are also very comfortable to walk in, however, they can catch on certain types of surface areas, so if you are walking long distances I would wear shoes that are practicable but stylish at the same time, as that is the aim of the game. Right?

As mentioned above, playsuits are not just for casual wear. They can be dressed up too.

Pop a blazer and some high heels on to make it a going out to dinner outfit. 

Check out what blazers I have in my previous blogs, 'Summer Outfit' and 'Dressy-casual night look'.

A nice white or cream blazer would spruce this outfit up and make it colourful and summery. Like Kourtney Kardashian's outfit seen in the pictures of the celebrities below.

If you are going out to a restaurant on holidays, or if it happens to be spectacular in Ireland, these shoes would be perfect for a playsuit with a blazer outfit. They are €24.99 and so worth it as they are easy to walk in and go with almost anything. Link it below. These shoes would also be perfect with a crop top and a pencil skirt. However, that is another topic and perhaps a blog discussion.

Shoes from New Look website.

Wedge shoes could also work but, in my opinion, would make the outfit more casual, yet stylish at the same time.

That is my view on playsuits.

Let me know what you think.

Until next time mes amis.

Au revoir!

Summer Outfit!

I'm sorry, I;m sorry, I'm sorry I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I know I haven't posted in about a decade.

I have exams. *sadface*

That's what I've been up to, and still am ...

Moving on from the boredom of my life, let's talk fashion.

Summer has... sort of arrived. I'm sure it has in other countries, but Ireland is all four seasons combined into one day.

We were on a roll for about three or four days in a row where it felt like summer. Then, along came the rain.

Anyhoo, I was out about two weeks ago for a birthday and was heading out to The Workmans, but ended up in Coppers. It's great craic on a Friday night, just incase all you dolls are wondering. ;-)

Because I didn't know where we were going to end up, I wore a dressy-casual look. I think the top is quite summer like. Let me know what you think.

Pink dotted top

I got this pink dotted top from Penneys for €4. They also have it in navy. It's brilliant! It goes with almost everything. A skirt, jeans, baggy trousers, anything you can think of.  The material is not flimsy either like Penneys clothes can be. Here I am wearing it with jeans and high heels. I also wore a blazer and jewelry. Look at my previous blogs on what jewelry I wore. It brightens up any outfit because of the colour. One of the best tops I own.

Black sophisticated blazer

This is the black blazer I wore that night and bought in Penneys for €5. That's right! €5! It was on sale two weeks ago, and Penneys just happened to have it in black and in my size. It was a sign that I should buy it. I think it looks very sophisticated. A blazer makes any outfit that bit more sophisticated. And black goes with everything.

New Look High Heels

I was given these by my friend. She said they were too big for her but I think she just didn't like them haha. They are so comfy to wear on a night out because they are wedges. They go with almost everything as well. I try to wear them as much as I can. I don't know how much they were, but they are from New Look which always do amazing shoes.

This if my final look:

My final outfit

I hope you like it!

Au revoir mes amis.

Until next time...
