Wishlist of the Week..


All clothes from Awear, shoes from Topshop.

Awear have again exceeded all my expectations. I was in there last night and literally couldn't carry all the stuff I wanted to try on into the fitting rooms. Can't wait to see their A/W collection.

By the way, I won't be blogging as frequently for the next while. I'm finding it really hard to find the time to blog about something worthwhile. Since I've started my new job I don't have time to do much anymore so my blog will have to take a back seat for the time being. Be back asap!

The Ultimate Shoe..


Came across these over the weekend. Nicholas Kirkwood for Liberty. I want, no need them. Size 5 in the post tomorrow please! The fact that I cannot or won't ever be able to afford them is irrelevant.

Wishlist of the Week...



I'm obsessed with these shoes from River Island. I already have them in coral and as soon as I get paid, this pair will be bought! They are super high but very comfy! Also loving this tunic from H&M. I really wish the H&M in Cork was a good store but I'm afraid it's not. I have to organise a trip to Dublin soon.

Can't believe it's the weekend already, the week flew! I had a really good day at work today and it's set me up for the next few days. Hope everybody enjoys the weekend!

Book Worm..


Since I'm finished with study, exams and college forever I've finally been able to sit down and curl up with a book. I used to be a complete book worm and have made it my mission this summer to read as many books as possible. I started off with something light - The Carrie Diaries. It's an easy, fun read that is really meant for the late-teen age bracket but if you're a fan of SATC you can't not read it. Be prepared though it's completely different from the series and I found myself reading parts thinking "but I thought that....", such as Carrie's dad being her sole parent whereas in the series he left when she was 5! I read it in two days and the last sentence is the best in the entire book. I definitely recommend it, especially if like me, you've been disappointed by the second movie!

New York..





I'm off to New York in August! My dad is going for work and he's taking me with him as a graduation present. None of my friends are able to go and neither can my mum so I'll be spending the days wandering around the city by myself. To be honest, that's the part I'm most excited about. It's a bit daunting but I shop best when I'm alone and I really think that museums and such are better appreciated when you are in your own world taking your time. Greenwich Village and Soho are my favourite areas in NY so I know I'll be spending plenty of time there too.
I've already started to make my wishlists! I'm determined to suss out some vintage stores so if anybody knows of any good ones please let me know!

Forever 21

I have no idea how I missed the announcement that Forever 21 is opening a store in Dublin. I must have been on holidays or something so this is a very delayed reaction! Aaaaah! How great is this? I love Forever 21! Anytime that I'm in America I head straight to it. Their clothes are of great quality, bang on trend and the price rivals Pennys.

I'll let ye in on a little secret- I actually got the name for my blog off the Forever 21 website. When you click into the shoes section it gives you two choices. Casual or dressy? Bingo!

I love their shoes too, they're really comfortable. Here are a few of my favs. I'm going to New York in August so hopefully they'll still have pair #1 and #5 in stock!

Wishlist of the Week..

Dresses: (L-R) French Connection, Topshop, FC, Oasis.
Shoes: Miu Miu
Necklace & Bangle: Oasis
Bracelet: Links of London.

I'm up the walls at work so it's hard to find the time to blog so my wishlist post is a bit late this week.
I've a bbq for work at the end of July in the afternoon which makes choosing the outfit tricky. It starts at lunchtime and is on until 6. Obviously we'll continue on out after it ends so I need something casual yet dressy and subdued enough for during the day but will work on a night out too. I think these dresses fit the bill nicely. What do ye reckon?

I got the Links of London bracelet as a present yesterday. I had never heard of them previously and I adore it! It's a brown and silver one that I got and it will go with everything. So impressed and delighted with it!

Glamour Gift




If anyone saw me in Tesco earlier on tonight staring at the Glamour magazine I had in my hand they would have thought I was crazy! But nope, I was just in shock! Because this month, Glamour's free gift is amazing! You can pick from Benefits BadGal, It Stick or Eye Bright. No tricks or gimmicks, all full size and for only €2.95! They retail at about €19 (I'm not exactly sure of the exact price). I bought three magazines saving myself about 50 quid!
