Airport Chic.

Hi dolls!

Since I am heading to the big apple tomorrow I decided to show you my airport style.

When going to the airport and going on such a long flight as I am, you need to be comfortable, but have to look stylish at the same time.

You see celebrities coming out of the airport in dresses, etc, but they are either on short flights, have private planes where they can get changed in before they come through the airport.

We can't do that, unless we win the lottery or come into big money out of the blue.

So, this is what I am planning to wear on the plane tomorrow.

Baseball T-shirt from Penneys, €10.

I bought this is Penneys for €10. I know, you're thinking ten euro for this. Honestly, I wear it when I can, which is basically all of the time. 

I love some of the American type T-shirts. Especially when it makes you look gangsta. Haha. (You should see me when I'm drunk. Most of my friends say I get so gangster when I get inebriated.) 

Anyway, it is comfy and great in warm weather because it doesn't stick to you. 

With this I will be wearing leggings because they keep you warmish when you are so many feet in the air and when you get off the plane they do not make you too warm or too cold. 

Leggings, Forever 21, €3.

Okay! I know they look odd on the hanger, but as the majority of people on planet earth must know, they define your figure quite well and can be mega comfy, depending on where you buy them.

They can also last you a good few month to a year. Again depending on where you buy them.

I bought these in Forever 21. I know! Stepping out of my comfort zone of Penneys.

They cost me €3 on sale. I think they are €6 when they are not on sale. The material they are made out of is good for leggings as it it thick, but not too thick for summer wear. Just enough that your underwear is not showing.

I would highly recommend buying them.

With this outfit, I plan to wear dolly shoes which can be seen in my other blog 'Spring has arrived'. They are jet black with a thin bow on the front of them. Take a look. You might love them.

I painted my nails yesterday because I hadn't in a good while. Here is how they turned out.

Nail varnish from Dunnes Stores.

I got this nail varnish as a present from my brother a year ago. It's from Dunnes Stores. How do I know this since I got it as a present, because I saw it in the shop when I was looking for other people's gifts.

It actually works really well considering it is not a well known brand. Again, I think it might just be me, but I have to use two coats to get the look I like. Still a great product.

To complete the whole outfit, this is the bag I will be bringing onto the plane with me. I again got this as a gift, but any big bag that is your style will make an outfit. Make sure the colours match though. You can't go out mismatching. You would look silly then.

Gift from a friend.

You can't forget your sunnies. Take a look back at my other blogs 'Flaunt what you've got' and 'Sunny college day look' to see what sunglasses I have discussed.

This is my completed outfit.

Let me know what you think by leaving a comment below.

I will not be posting next Friday as I will be away. So I will see you all in  two weeks.

Flaunt what you've got.

This week I went out for cocktails with my girlfriends. It was great fun.

The sun was shining and it was mega hot outside. (Weird for Ireland, but I'm not complaining.)

This is what I decided to wear, but you could easily wear it for lunch too.

Top from H&M. €7.

I took a step back from Penneys and bought this in H&M. This is from their 'basics' collection. I just loved the style of it. The elongation at the back and the shortness at the front, but not too short so if you don't have a toned stomach like I do, you don't feel too self conscious. The white and stripes with is all in this summer. Especially with block colour shorts or jeans. It cost €7 and I war it so much. Definitely worth a buy.

You can wear jeans, shorts or even a skirt with this top, but in a block colour. Otherwise the outfit would look strange, in my opinion. See the jeans I wore with it in my blog post 'Sunny college day look'. 

The shoes I wore with it are mentioned in my other blog post 'Spring has arrived'. If you were wearing jeans, you may get away with wearing high heels. However, flatter shoes would look better because it makes your outfit more summer like.

For shoes, see my blog posts 'Summer outfit', for high heels that may go with it if worn with a blazer which is also mentioned in that blog post, 'Spring has arrived' for the dolly shoes and 'Playful playsuits' for sandals which would make the outfit so much more summery. 

To make this look a bit more quirky, I added rings, a bag and sunglasses to my outfit.

I got the butterfly ring as a present for my 19th birthday off a close friend. Therefor, I don't know how much it was, but it is one of the best gifts I have received. If you have an old ring a home or even go and buy some in any high street shop; wear them!!! It brightens up any outfit. Whether Winter, Summer, Spring or Autumn. 

The ring on my index finger I bought on holidays. I thought the colours of both rings matched and it completed my outfit so much.

Sorry about the chipped nail varnish by the way. (Very unprofessional!) 

The black nail varnish id Rimmel's one minute dry nail varnish. It definitely does what it says on the bottle, but I like really strong colours so I had to give it a second coating. That's just my preference though. Still an amazing product and they have various different colours. This product is €5.29 in most Boots pharmacies nationwide. Link to product here: http://www.boots.ie/en/Rimmel/Rimmel-nail-polish/ 

However, if you are looking for vibrant, luminous colours, I would go with Barry M which is the white colour I am wearing. This product takes a tad longer to dry, but it worth it as it lasts a good while. This product is €5.99 in most Boots pharmacies nationwide. Definitely worth the price though.

These are the other rings I wore to complete the outfit. You got to wear rings on both hands. It makes your outfit different to others. I got both of these as presents as well so unfortunately cannot tell you the price of them. The nail varnish is the same as mentioned above.

Bag, €11, Penneys.

I bought this bag during the Winter months in Penneys for €11, but it is still in store. It is so handy as it is big enough to hold all girls essentials. I bring it with me (almost) everywhere. I say almost in brackets because it matches most casual yet stylish clothing, but would not match a dress you wear to a nightclub or somewhere like that. Definitely worth a buy for €11.

Sunglasses, €3, Penneys.

How cool are these sunglasses? They cost... wait for it... €3!! They are UV protected and for that you cannot go wrong with €3 sunglasses Especially sine they are so cool. Almost from something like the eighties except more stylish. They complete and outfit for me. Maybe that's just because I adore them so much. Who knows?! Go on! Guess where I bought these?

This is the completed look:

The finished look.

That's it for today.

If you have any comments or questions, let me know.

Until next time...

Gracias/Merci/Danke/Thank You... mes amis.

Paddy's Day day and night outfits.

This blog is a tad late because Saint Patrick's weekend is just over, but this was my day and night look for the weekend.

Day outfit:

I was studying on Saint Patrick's day (so much fun, I can tell you're all jealous.). 

Therefore, I decided to wear the jeans I got in Penneys that I mentioned in my previous blog called 'sunny college day look'.

I had a plain white string top on underneath the jumper. I have LOADS of them because they go with anything. So handy in that way. They're about €4 in Penneys.

This jumper is my all time favourite. I bought this in Lidl for €17. I love the bagginess of it. The material on the inside is also really soft and not harsh like some of the jumpers you can buy. I am constantly wearing it that my mother tells me 'it's one of the the best things you've bought'.

I put a simple ponytail in my hair and last year, but you could still get them this year, bought the ribbon hairpiece for €2-€3 in, guess where...? Penneys! If it even cost that much. I know I look lie a school girl, but I wanted to be festive.

I paint my nails like this every year. The nail polish is BarryM. I use this brand most of the time because it actually stays on your nails for long periods of time. They are €3-€4 in most pharmacies or retail shops for one bottle. I think this is good because they last a good couple of months. 

Night outfit:

This is my shocking attempt at trying to wear green on Paddy's night. It is a khaki green colour, so technically it is green... 

Anyway... I got this playsuit in Penneys for €11, but the brilliant thing about it is that you can dress it up like the picture above, or you can wearing it on a sunny day/on holidays with sandles and some sunnies (sun glasses). 

I am wearing the red shoes i mentioned in my previous blog named 'Dressy-casual night look'. 

I wore a navy blazer with the outfit too. (Also mentioned in 'Dressy-casual night look'.) I feel that it completes the outfit if you wear a blazer or a leather jacket of some sort. 

They were my two outfits for Paddy's day.

I hope you enjoyed reading it and feel the same love for Penneys/Primark as I do.

Til next time, mis amigos...

Au revoir!
