CREME DE LA CREME

I was so excited to wear my new white platforms at the weekend. These beauties are from the good ole faithful PENNEYS! And a bargain at just €24. They're brand new stock and they also have them in black. I paired them with my '90's Mom Jeans' (literally living in these jeans since I bought them) and this fab crop top I got in Bershka a while back. 

The lipstick i'm wearing is from MAC and the colour is called 'dark side'. Mac are just amazing...

I will be posting my first beauty blog very soon so stay tuned :)

90's Vibes x

This outfit makes me feel like 'Kelly Kapowski' (Saved By The Bell). Mom Jeans are an absolute staple for pulling off the nineties trend and I just live in these ones from Penneys. They cost something like €13 which is an absolute steal. Not only are the jeans a Penneys bargain... so is everything else!! The white plimsoles are so comfortable and only €3. They come in loads of different colours and I cannot leave the shop without buying a new pair. The pink and white gingham string top was also only €3. They have lots of different prints to choose from but I thought this one was perfect for the summer season (also I'm a bit of a pinkaholic). The belt and sunglasses were €1.50 each!! I cannot get over all these Penneys bargains. An entire outfit for €22. Cannot wait to get myself back into a Penneys store soon...

What's Next For Michelle Keegan??

Every girl wants to be just like Michelle Keegan. And who can blame us? She's a stunning girl with a body to die for, she's got a fit boyfriend and of course she's a talented actress. Well now we can get one step closer to looking like the beautiful brunette, because Michelle is adding fashion designer to her list of achievements.

Not long after announcing her upcoming departure from Coronation Street, she has now revealed that she is collaborating with high street fashion retailer, Lipsy, to create her very first clothing line.

Michelle's style is glamorous and sexy yet very chic and this is mirrored in her debut collection. With classic jumpsuits, cropped fur jackets, tailored separates and bodycon dresses featuring heavily. The colour palette is rumoured to be a  lot of monochrome, nude tones, bold ultramarines and bright berry shades.

When recently speaking about the collaboration Michelle said:
"I have been wearing Lipsy since my teens. I have always admired their collections over the years, their pieces are always bang on trend, are made with good quality materials, and I always feel great when I wear Lipsy"
"I have spent a lot of time over the last few months working closely with the Lipsy design team to make sure that each piece in my collection is something I am excited about wearing, my collection is classic, unfussy and feminine in style, and I can't wait for it to hit the high street in July"

Sneak Peek at the Collection

Michelle's collection debut is set for the 3rd of July and will be available on http://www.lipsy.co.uk/ and in Lipsy stores across the UK and Ireland. I don't know about you but I'll certainly be injecting some Michelle Keegan glamour into my wardrobe.

Louboutin Love

I have a dream... That one day my wardrobe will be overstocked with red soled beauties... every colour, every shape, every heels size (ok maybe not every heel size... kitten heels need not apply) So when I ordered online my very first pair of nude spiked pigalle Loubs I was overjoyed to say the least. But how did I afford these? Well, I'll let you in on my little secret...

They're FAKE! Well of course they are haha... Where did I get my hands on them you ask? I will link the website below, but first let me give you some information about the site... 

They use real pictures of Louboutins so what you see is certainly NOT what you get. The shoes were really tight, I had to stretch them quite a bit before wearing them to a wedding last weekend. Also the site says it takes 8 days for delivery...LIES! 3 weeks they took to arrive and if you want to return them for any reason, you pay postage and packing to like China or somewhere and they then take a 25% restocking fee. The colour as you can see by the picture is more of a peachy pink colour than nude and the quality of the shoe isn't great. 

The packaging you get is the same, you get the little red bag and the Christian Louboutin box and all that. The writing on the inside looks okay but the etching of Louboutin on the red sole isn't the best, you really would need to be looking very close though to see that.

Obviously the price is much more appealing than the real deal but they were still almost €100 and not convincing enough for anyone to think they were real. I like them as a shoe, they're cute, but for what they were supposed to be I'm disappointed.

So all in all, not worth it and I would certainly not recommend the website. 

However, I promised the link...so here it is:

Wedding Fun :)

This Saturday I attended a very unique and fabulous wedding. The ceremony took place in the Army Barracks in Cork city and the reception took place in Springfort Hall in Mallow. The bride of course looked sensational, so natural and beautiful and the groom wasn't looking too shabby either.

I've been asked quite a bit where I got my dress from so I decided I'd do a blog post...

Unfortunately I didn't buy this recently. Actually, I didn't buy it at all... I borrowed it from my sister. (Thanks Jen :P)

The dress is by a brand called hybrid. Asos are known for doing a small selection of hybrid dresses on their site but there are so much more to choose from if you go to their own site. I am absolutely obsessed with their dresses. I think they are perfect for any occassion. They specialise in figure hugging midi dresses with a twist. Theres always something unique to tell you that, that is a hybrid dress.

This particular style of dress seems to be no longer in stock but you can shop other hybrid dresses here:
