My Style: Outfit for less than €60

Hey Girls

Happy Tuesday, I'm all about affordable fashion, don't get me wrong I love high end too but reality is we cant always afford the high end price tag!!

My other love is mixing high street with designer too and therefor I do tend to buy a lot of affordable pieces in the wardrobe. These pieces I'm wearing above were all bought at different times but combined together they work!

This Tshirt is a great buy, I bought it to pair with white shorts in the summer, It was €15.95 reduced to €9.95 and you can buy it here. I love the length and the print on this, it has a nice mix of colours that will work with a lot of items in my wardrobe.

 A closer look at the print, it has a gold sheen in some of the print and I love the peach tones too,  I wore it with a Guess watch (as before gift from Hubbie) and this Rose gold bangle is from Stella & Dot which is such a classic piece and €49, and can purchase here.

I absolutely love these jeans, believe it or not their Penneys best and bought them for less than €20, they are called boyfriend but are more skinny, they are so soft and a lovely fit.Still available in store at the moment. The shoes are from littlewoods Ireland for €16 available here

More details on the T-Shirt, As you can see it dips at the back, its sometimes hard to find a long length t-shirt and this was the other thing I liked about it.

And finally the peach colour blazer is Penneys, I was lucky to nab this for €7 as they were reduced from €18. Its such a handy outfit to throw on if I'm meeting friends for lunch or a sneaky afternoon drink.

Hope you like the look, and if you want more looks for less than €60 let me know

Until later my lovelies

My Style: Keeping it casual with addidas originals

Hi Girls

Now who doesn't love just throwing on a pair of trainers and keeping it casual.

With two little nippers I find myself reaching for flats on a daily basis. But wearing trainers doesn't have to look boring...Keeping things casual can look good too!

I love a nice jacket with trainers and jeans

This coat you have seen on my Instagram page so many times, yes I live in it but its so comfy.

I picked it up in Penneys a few months back and for €40 it was the best buy

So heres my current favourite Trainers..these are the addidas superstars..they are the comfiest pair and I love the gold on the addidas logo...you can purchase those here and here

I pair mine with crop jeans as it looks nicer! And Im such a shortie so crop always helps 

I've paired my trainers with Blue Denim Cropped Jeans from Stradivarius €19.95 here and Lace Bomber again Stradivarius €19.95 available here.

The top of the bomber is almost see through and nice and light so perfect for Summer. The chain which isnt as clear in this pic is from My shining Armour and available here, I love it as its so delicate.

The watch is Guess bought from Fields and I adore this Stella & Dot bracelet I bought from Leona here, the colours are perfect for the summer.

And finally I am having a strange obsession with Headbands lately...they are so handy if you just want to throw up your hair, when you're in a rush but still want it to look pretty..loving them!! This one above was a bargain from HM for €5.95,

So don't be shy about purchasing Trainers girls, as they are so easy to dress up and can look chic.

Hope you like my style and do tell me what's your favourite trainer? 

Had so much fun doing this shoot with the lovely @thetwodarlings and @leanmeanmomma, who are quiet the photographers!

Until next time my lovelies

Have a great week

January.. Back to basics

So ladies I'm back, sorry I took a while but needed time out with my family. Had a lovely break but back to give you lovely ladies so more looks and inspiration. 

With January which is always a bit meh! Definitely a bit more depressing & blue!

I always find after Christmas is over and January kicks in, the last thing I want to do is look at dressy clothes, perhaps the reason for this is for the entire Christmas period I get dressed up for the majority of it, what with parties, get togethers & family outings..

I am sick to death at looking at my "going out" clothes haha and the penny has suddenly dropped that I actually have hardly any nice casual gear. Now when I say casual ..I mean it loosely as in dressy casual, something like a casual jumper but with a dressy skirt/skinny jeans that looks nice but is still cosy and warm.

I'm talking basic pieces that you have in your wardrobes, items you can mix and match together and still look nice.

Basics such as Dark Jeans, Denim shirt, Plain Jumper, plain coat, or A simple dress,

Want to join the suede Brigade?

(Image: Burberry)

There are many 70's inspired trends gracing the catwalk for Autumn/Winter 2015, but without a doubt the biggest one is suede. Suede dresses, jackets, and skirts were spotted all over the runways. I love this trend because not only is it versatile from the office to nights out, but it makes the garment unique and its long lasting, carrying you well into the next few seasons. It's really warm, I kid you not, and god knows we need warmth in winter. When I say suede, I'm not talking about the hippie chick, its actually quiet smart, sexy even. Its fringed, its pastel colours, its been mixed with denim (my favourite way of styling suede pieces is adding some denim) and leather with suede is everywhere. Here's some inspo for you lovely ladies..mark my words, you'll be flouncing about in one piece of suede some time this season

(Olivia Palermo, I know I know but this is my girl crush!)

(Image;Camille )Suede isn’t going away any time soon – especially when it’s this cute jacket paired with an all white tee and skirt combo, T-shirt: Zara, Skirt: Sheinside, Jacket: Zara)

As Winter approaches keep your suede skirt outfits in neutral colours. Pair it with a knitted sweater and suede sandals/ankle boots.Via Helena Glazer in image
