BARCELONA

What I love about traveling is getting to see different cultures, architecture, sample the cuisine and seeing beautiful things that you don't get to see in your own country. I got all that from Spain. What a beautiful city.

NAUTICAL BUTTONS

Jacket by Red Herring, Vest from Cotton on, Scarf by Sportgirl, Fitted Jeans, Boots by Mystify

I love the nautical button details of this Jacket I purchased recently. The gold gives a great contrast against a structured solid blue/navy jacket. I added a silk purple leopard print scarf to offset the hard edges and to break up the block colours. I wore this with a new pair of ankle boots which I have been dieing to wear but haven't had the chance until now. I love the frills on the back.

I am heading to Barcelona this weekend and looking forward to the food, culture, architecture and of course shopping! I will post some pictures of my trip, so watch this space!

Is anyone going anywhere nice this spring/summer?

BRIGHTEN UP

Wearing: Jacket and Jeans Dorthy Perkins, Cardigan H & M, Boots by Mystify. Earings and Bangles from Primark

I am looking forward to Spring. There is nothing nicer than seeing the flowers, trees and other things around you come to life. Not to mention the longer and warmer days. Today was cold and snowy. I wanted to brighten to my winter outfit with a bit of light pink and cream to help celebrate the coming of spring in just over 7 days.

With that in mind I have been opting for the fresh dewy make up look these past few days. Mainly using liquid and cream products on the face and just powdering the T-zone. I am really loving this look right now. I think it makes you look and feel more vibrant, fresher and youthful.

RED RED ROSE

Wearing: Leather Jacket from TK Maxx, Dress from Asos, Tights from Dunnes, Shoes from TK Maxx

My valentines day outfit.

All we want in life is to feel loved and appreciated. If you find someone out there that makes you feel good about yourself don't let insecurities and other people think you deserve anything less. Love yourself and let yourself be loved. I hope you all had a brilliant day.

WORK IT

Wearing: Top by Filo, Skirt from H & M, Cardigan from Forever New, Tights from Dunnes, Shoes from TK Maxx

The daily grind can be tiring and uninspiring. I work in a professional environment and being creative with my work wardrobe can be hard. Today I teamed a ruffled top with a textured pattern skirt. With a nice pair of heels your ready to go!

CASUAL CHIC

Wearing: Jacket and Draped cardigan from H & M, Top from Dorothy Perkins, Fitted Jean, Shoes from Asos.

Today I was in a rush (like most days) and threw on a simple yet chic outfit that I could be comfortable in. I love the shoes that I got from Asos on sale for $12, Bargain! I thought these gave my simple outfit the extra edge.

BRUSH ROLLING IT

Lately I lost the inspiration to blog but on Saturday I felt the urge to create. I designed and made myself a brush roll. I am attending painting classes and thought that a brush roll to keep my brushes in would be a nice project to occupy my mind.

Here is the final product




Now my brushes can be stored neatly and stylishly
