Kilkenny Roots Festival Fashion - Day Two

On 3rd May, we awoke to another sunkissed morning in Kilkenny. Fresh-faced and rearing to get going after the opening night of the festival, Alex, Aidan and I headed into the city centre.

Following a suggestion from my lovely friend Keira, Aidan and Alex led the way to 'Cafe Mocha'. Since the name seemed to dictate it, I ordered myself a nice mocha and enjoyed the quaint decor. 

Our next port of call was Castle Park. Armed with bread rolls, we braved the treacherous lands of the duck pond.

 For a day of adventuring in this laid-back city, I kept my style
pretty chilled.
My new distressed khaki jeans from Penneys were paired
with my golden (or rather blue) oldie Converse that are customised with purple fabric paint.
My multicoloured Om Diva cardigan and vintage Ralph Lauren jacket were worn over a flannel shirt supplied again by the lovely Alex. Perfect duck-feeding attire!

Becoming one with nature.....

Alex and Aidan with the duck army!












Marie and I discovered that cute little wanna-be-piggy dogs are the best accessories to have!

Later on I swapped my jeans for a black River Island skirt and purple leggings to dance the night away at another Ha Ha Tonka gig!

As the party continued to Morrisons, we caught up with Ha Ha Tonka. Their drummer Lennon even chilled out with us and we got invited back to chill with them and a few beers in their B&B. Transported by their tour bus no less.

  

Another crazy night in Kilkenny was had by all! 

Kilkenny Roots Festival Fashion - Day One

From the 2nd - 4th May, I attended the Kilkenny Rhythm and Roots Festival with my lovely friends Alex, Marie and Aidan.
As it was my first time out in this cute city, relaxed yet cool outfits were a must for this chilled event.

On our first night we hit up Cleeres pub to see the Missouri band 'Ha Ha Tonka' in a free gig. Being packed in like sardines couldn't even rain on our parade as their music was catchy yet soulful and fun! I wore my River Island pale pink dress with little zebras patterned on it over grey leggings with boots (provided by the generous Alex) and a multi-coloured cardigan for the chilly night air.

In keeping with the quirky nature of this music event, I decided to go a bit dip-dye-style on my locks, colouring the ends of my hair with purple and scruffing it up with texture spray. The overall look worked well and it was perfect for a laid-back night in the pub with some great tunes and people. Chatting to the band afterwards and being invited to their sold-out gig the next night was indeed a brilliant end to a wonderful night...however, it was just the opening gig and we had many more adventures to come...

Easter Time!

Easter time woo! More like mega chocolate fest...

Although, we may have had snow the last few days here in Dublin, I felt a certain springtime look was in order for this day! 

My sheer, patterned blouse is from Penneys. The purple, cream, and brown shades suit the day along with the aptly named 'Peter Pan' collar. As there promises to be many sweet goodies, the elastic waistband on my skirt is perfect! Looking sharp with room for chocolate...match made in heaven. 

There is a chill in the air following our snowy weather, therefore, I completed my outfit with grey wolly tights and brown wedge boots. 

My spring look is further continued with my cutesy yellow hair bow (totally not taken from a chocolate box...) and natural look make-up. 

 Happy Easter everyone!

So guys. It's been a while! Please accept my sincerest apologies...

A little thing called London Fashion Week went down around mid-February and I was there with my college Fashion Society. No biggie sure! ....I jest, it was spectacular!

Here's my post on the Trinity Fashion Society's blog about the overall experience:

http://trinityfashionsoc.wordpress.com/2013/03/16/london-fashion-week-trip-2013-the-overall-experience/

For such a super-stylin' occasion, a girl ,of course, needs to have some super-stylin' threads to walk the cobbled streets! 

This is just a breakdown of my outfits over the three days for y'all! 

Day 1: As this day was to consist of a lot of transport and walking around, the natural approach would have been to wear comfy clothes...not for this girl! Surprisingly, I decided to go for a rather chicer, more put-together look than I would normally go for. My top tip for travelling is layers, layers and more layers! From the bottom up I am wearing Penneys brogues, black tights, Penneys skirt, vintage red silk shirt, Forvever 21 short embellished jacket and my beloved Ralph Lauren jacket. 

Day 2: After walking around 'Somerset House' a.k.a. the Fashion Centre of My World, the second day was the time to rev up the style levels! My teddy-boy shoes are from New Look, wolly polka-dot tights from Penneys, vintage black-lace skirt with side split, vintage blue silk shirt, Forever 21 bright yellow jumper with the ole RL jacket yet again. Also, my hair and accessories took a bit of a 'Karma Chameleon' turn with my side-swept locks, small plaits and massive feather earring! 

Day 3: Yet again, my look became uncharacteristically chic. I like to think that my outfit was somewhat reminiscent of the recent Dior catwalk look (see below). My cute little slippers were a buy on the trip in Topshop (they have a MASSIVE shop on Oxford St) and a welcome change for my poor feet. Again, black tights were paired with a Penneys skirt, top and belt. I should've totally asked Penneys for sponsorship! My statement necklace hails from Pulse. 

More London Fashion Week posts to come!! x

St. Patrick's Day

As I hail from The Emerald Isle, naturally, green, white and orange were my colours of choice today! My 'Kerry green' shirt is from Wild Child while my (well-loved/worn) orange cardigan is from New Look. Paired with a flowery hair bobbin, I was set for the day ahead!

What's a single gal like myself to do on this day of lovers........go shopping of course!
Today, my good friend Jack and I embarked upon some early morning vintage scouring in Temple Bar.
After browsing through the beauty that is the Urban Outfitters store, we meandered our way through the cobbled streets, happening upon a shop named 'siopaella'.
It boasts adorable charm and some merchandise. We were even greeted by a cute dog, what customer service!

Jack agreed to be my lovely male model...a first for this blog I may add! He found this great beige three-piece-suit for an amazing €45. As it's such a neutral colour he can go crazy with whatever shirt he chooses to go with it! 

 I got a lovely black lace skirt but as it is packed away for London Fashion Week (yesssss!) I shall have to include photos in a new post soon.

My valentines day outfit mostly just consisted of whatever I could in my wardrobe with hearts. Therefore, this crop top from 'pimkie' and high-waisted 'H&M' were paired for the maximum love look!

Happy Valentine's Day <3
