Luck of the Irish...

Hello hello :)

It's been a few days, but I have a great excuse, I promise :D
I've been on a little trip to Dublin...such fun!! I definitely recommend you pay a visit. I'm currently enjoying a cuppa and watching an episode of NCIS because I'm bleedin exhausted. I went with my friend and her parents, which was super, apart from sightseeing we just ate and drank all day. My kind of vacation.
We took a trip to the Guinness factory, so worth the money, we got to pull a pint (or craft a pint) and received a certificate :) so proud of myself.
We also went to the leprechaun museum, hearing fun tales of fairies and little shoemakers..Ever so fun!

Until next time dears :)

Love, love, love the colours and hints of print from this fall 2013 collection. The collection is predominantly black although the bursts of yellow take the garments from drab and dreary to fun and cheery. Here are just a few of the looks I love....

Pierre Balmain...

This is what I'll be dressed like in heaven... I'm sure of it.
This grown up 60's inspired collection, is the epitome of cool. These pieces could sit in your wardrobe forever and still be chic. I do always say that to justify a spontaneous purchase, but really, I'm being totally serious about this collection. Tailoring, leather, fishnets and a hint of print; what more could you ask for. So let us take a look at some of the collection for men and women...

Enjoy :)

Literally in love with everything in this Istanbul influenced collection. Fabulous textures and layering created a chic urban look, very wearable pieces throughout. Printed silky slips were the fundamental element in the majority of the looks, heavily layered with statement outerwear, cashmere and casual t shirts. Outerwear was of course a big part of the collection, long, short and midi length all got a look in, leather boxy bikers, a patchwork fur gilet and fur trimmed jackets added the urban edge to this collection.

NYFW we love you....

Vintage Life...

I was pleased to find that my local WhSmith stocks Vintage Life magazine. I have been searching for a while and then magically it appeared ... lucky moi!
I really love the size of it, cute and portable. The article about women wearing red really stood out to me, I adore the colour, but because of my ginger locks I find it quite difficult to find the right shade. For this reason I stick to  red beauty products; I posted a few years ago about YSL lipstick, which is still my favourite red to wear for a statement pout.
Another fashion feature titled Seventies Chic was fab, bullet points about the different trends of the decade and still life images of garments from Rokit and Modcloth, all reasonably priced, give a good insight into how the trends can be worn today.
Other articles on pearls, art deco watches and a step by step on getting the perfect sixties makeup trend, were enjoyable to read.

At £3.80 Vintage Life is such a great magazine which focuses on fashion, beauty, home and lots more from the 20's to the 70's. If you like the sound of it, head to the fabulous website and subscribe, or find your local stockists.

Until next time dears
