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.

Merci/gracias/danke/slán leat/thank you.

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.

Spring has arrived!

Hi dolls!

Firstly, I'm sorry for not posting in about two weeks. It's been a hectic week!

Secondly, excuse the lack of make-up in these photos. (I hope I don't look too scary.)

Anyway... my look this week is an outfit that you could wear if you're meeting up with friends for coffee during the day.

However, you could also wear it if you're going to your local pub or somewhere with a relaxed atmosphere.

So let's get started.

Picture 1

Picture 1: I got this in Penneys last week on sale from €31 to €15. When I saw it, I knew I had to buy it. It was calling my name. Really, it was! The picture doesn't even do the colour or style justice. They also had it in blue, but I thought the white looked more classy and better for Spring and summer time. It will probaly get filthy, but it is totally worth the money.

Picture 2

Picture 2: I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS TOP!! I bought it in New Look for €14 or €15. It looks much better on than it does on the hanger. I like the fact that you could wear this on a summers day but also dress it up with leather jeans or a skirt and heels and wear it on a night out to the local. It could even be worn with sandles and tucked into shorts or a flowy skirt on holidays and still look stylist.

I wore this with jeans from Penneys that I have talked about in my previous 'Sunny college day look'. J'adore them too! Take a look and see if you like them as much as I do.

Picture 3

Picture 3: This is one of my most prized possessions because it belonged to my nana. #Vintage. I do love my high street clothes, but when you own something like this, which is so pretty, you have to mix and match. It is made from real wool and is so cosy. I wore it all the time during winter (and still now, because Ireland only has one climate), because it brightened up my outfits and went with almost everything.

If I was wearing this outfit during the day I would pair it with my M&S sunglasses and either the cream bag that I mention in my previous blog 'Sunny college day look', or a black clutch. 

Picture 4

These are the shoes I wore. They were €11 in Penneys, but when I went up to the till, they scanned in at €3. Absolute bargain! I would say they look like they are from a more expensive high street shop than Penneys. I love when miracles like that happen. You can't go wrong with €3 shoes that were supposed to be €11. They go with everything too because of their colour.

Finalemente, el aspecto final...

I hope you like it!

Till next time mes amis...

Au revoir!

Sunny college day look

This is my college day look.

I am studying in college at the moment, and go to a college where fashion is the be all and end all, even though there is not undergraduate course for fashion.

I like to dress glamorously to catch the boys attention ;-).

Just kidding! I dress like I do because I want to feel glamorous. (There are some seriously good looking guys in my college though).

Enough about boys and my college life and onto where I got all of these beautiful clothes and accessories.

Most of my accessories and clothes today are from penneys. You may think what a cheap skate, but hey... their clothes are so good that they look like designer clothes. Just wait until you see the outfit at the very end.

Picture 1

I got this bag a million years ago when I was about thirteen. I bought it in penneys and love it because it gives the outfit a Spring/Summer feel to it or can lighten your mood (especially when it is a sunny day), instead of another black or dull coloured bag which can make an outfit look plain. It was €11 in Penneys and I'm sure you would find a very similar one in the same shop these days. It also looks quite expensive for the price that it was.

Picture 2

These are my ALL time favourite sunglasses. I bought them in Marks and Spencers. Now, I don't normally shop here, biut when I was walking through I saw them and they drew me over like a magpie to shiney objects. They were €40! They were most definitely worth that amount because they are UV protective and you will look great with them on. They also come with the pouch on which they are placed. I have probably worn them to death by now, but I just love them to bits.

Picture 3

I got this scarf as a present from my auntie the Christmas just gone. It is navy with white heart design. I saw another person wearing the same scarf last week, so they probably still have them in stock, except the scarf was black with pink hearts. I saw it in Penneys the other day, but again is looks and feels like it could have been an expensive scarf. It probably costs about €4 - 5. You could even wear a white scarf with navy on it as well if you wanted to brighten your outfit up even more.

Picture 4

My one and only leather jacket (I really need to get a new one, I know! Still searching for that perfect one. ;-) ). However, today this jacket was perfect for what I was wearing. It is a size 12 and i'm a size 8 so it is big, but not too big on me that it looks odd. It cost €9 in Penneys in the sales. ( I can't resist a sale. Even in penneys.)

Picture 5

I bought this for, wait for it... €4 in Penneys. €4!! You can't complain about that. It looks like it could be from an expensive shop. I love the simplicity of it because it is not just white. It has the black around the neckline and the shoulders. This again is a size 12 because I like my flowy tops to actually be flowy and not a top that looks like a bellytop but isn't.

    I wore this out with leather leggings, the red shoes and navy blazer from my previous blog and made it a night time outfit. A casual one at that, but still a night time outfit. Therefore this top is so adaptable and for €4, you cannot go wrong. 

    So, GO OUT AND BUY IT YOU MAD THINGS!!!!

Picture 6

I cannot rave about these jeans enough. I keep telling all of my friends how much i adore them. They're sick of me by now. I bought them in Penneys, yet again (my favourite shop as you can tell), for €17. I find it hard to find jeans that fit me right, so when I tried these on I HAD to buy them. There was no question about it. They fit very nicely and go with everything. You could even put these with heels and a nice top and wear them out to a club or the pub.

Et vuala... The finished look!

 

Match this with navy or cream coloured pumps and your day is off to a magnificent start.

Until next time...

Au revoir mes amis.
