sunkissed

We've had such a lovely few days here that any time I haven't spent working or at college I've been at the beach enjoying the sun. I managed to take some pictures on one of the only days it wasn't warm enough for bare legs, a casual look with my favourite jeans and plenty of jewellery of course!

While I was at home recently I found this beautiful long vintage camel tranch coat hanging in the back of my wardrobe. For some reason i've never worn it but as soon as I put it on I knew its time had come! I've recently had a revival for my love of Sherlock Holmes while enjoying the sexual tension between Martin Freeman and Bennedict Cumberpatch in Sherlock (I know I'm late on the bandwagon). Anyway, this gorgeous piece goes perfectly with my latest obsession and it'll be sure to help out should I ever decide to become a private detective in London.

Sorry for not posting in ages. A few new outfit posts coming soon! 

Seville

Some very old pictures from when I was in Seville in November. It was an amzing city, and one of the most beautful places I've ever visited. We only got a couple of days so I'd love to go back!

belated birthday goodies

 I got such a lovely surprise this morning when the postman rang the doorbell and told me there was a package for me. I ran downstairs in my pyjamas to see these lovely gifts that my friend Bronagh had sent me for my birthday! I love the pattern of the scarf, and the little orange clutch is perfect for adding a pop of colour to winter clothes! The little earrings are so cute as well- I love any jewellery!

I decided to wear all my new presents today; I couldn't wait! So I styled them with this lovely navy shirt dress from French Connection layered with New Look and second hand necklaces, an of course my trusty brown leather Zara boots.

Thanks Bronzie! :)

cats and sailors

excuse my face in this one

and the blurriness of this

On my second day here, we walked down to the port through this derilect street. Twenty years ago it was home to prostitues and sailors, but now the population is mainly made up of cats. Apparently the whole street burned down and no one ever bothered to rebuild t, but just painted the outsides pretty colours so it wouls look a bit nicer. Altough it makes for a cool place to take pictures, being on the street was pretty eerie. The vegetation slowly taking over the houses, and abandoned warehouse with shelves still piled high and cats eyes watching from the dark interiors all add to the uneasy feeling. I'm just glad we waited until after Halloween to come here!

I love the way this jacket looks with the clean white shirt. How upsetting that I have to leave it behind today! I'll also attempt to dress less head to toe in Zara in my next post...

cosmic love

I feel like the galaxy print trend has come and gone already but when I saw this jacket I loved it too much not too have it. I think it's possibly the first waterproof thing I've worn since I was about 12! They have lots of lovely jackets like this with different prints and colours in Pull and Bear for only €19.95, which is an investment really if you live somewhere where it rains a lot. So all I need to do to justify this purchase is move back to Ireland!

P.S. The only make up I'm wearing here is mascara so that's why my skin is so effing shiny! Please forgive the sheen.

london and goodbyes!

I've been really crap at updating the blog because I've been making the tough but exciting transition   from Ireland to Spain and my last couple of weeks were spent rushing around trying to say goodbye to as many people as possible. I'm moving to Spain for a year to study in Valladolid and I arrived here on Saturday. The weather was gorgeous but it's been getting steadily colder ever since.

I spent two days in London with my mum and sister before I left which was lovely but we stupidly forgot to bring a camera so here are some poor quality pics of me overlooking the Thames :) 

I absolutely love these shoes that I got in Dublin last week, and was over the moon when I found out they were reduced from €55 to €25; what a bargain!

I look kinda goofy in the last picture but I like it anyway. Hiya sun, happy to be out of the house on my day off and looking forward to finishing up work next week before jetting off to Spain next month!

not sporty

never really got into the sporty trend over the summer even though I loved it, mostly because I've never done anything sporty in my life and I'd feel like a liar if I did. Although the top I'm wearing here is of lycra material these pictures didn't really come across as overly athletic or sporty. Oh well the colours are pretty.

Sunglasses and ring are Romwe,  and the top is second hand. I'm also obsessed with this gold nail varnish- Gilty Pleasure by Sally Hansen.

We recently stayed in a lovely guesthouse in Belfast and these pictures are taken in beautiful sunlight coming through the huge bay windows. Love the way the light shines though the translucent skirt. Don't mention the leopard print...

Me and my little sister Sarah enjoying the sunshine later on that day.
