Hepburn at the Ballet

Hello lovelies! So last Thursday I went out for a lovely grown up night on the town with my parents for an early birthday celebration (finally 18 the 21st!). We decided to go to dinner at a gorgeous Thai restaurant in Dublin city centre called Diep Le Shaker and go to see Tchaikovsky's Romeo & Juliet with the Perm State Ballet afterwards. 

I thought I'd share what I wore on the night with you all in a little outfit post since I've never tried to do one of these things. I kept it quite simple and elegant with a slightly Audrey Hepburn-esqe style.

Dress: Asos

Shoes: Zara

Bag: Penny's

Bracelet: Pandora

Nail Varnish: Inglot O2M Breathable (652)

I'm already a huge fan of ballet so I was super excited to see Romeo & Juliet because not only had I never seen it but also the music in it is absolutely beautiful, a true work of art. It's also a very theatrical and dramatic ballet with lots of sword fighting and lots of emotion so it's perfect for those who may not be too crazy for ballet. My dad even enjoyed it! I still hear him humming some of the songs :)

Now I can't wait for my birthday because not only will I finally be 18 but I can also justify feeling Christmasy because then its just over a month to December 25th!

Thanks for reading,

Spring Wish List

Hello lovelies!

Today has been one of the few sunny and fresh days that really remind you Spring time is in the air. After a cold blistering week that started off with snow (yes, snow) it's a refreshing start of Spring day that has put me in the mood to go shopping and snap up some Spring time staples for this season. But as I can't get to the shops today I thought I'd write about some of the pieces that have been on my to buy list for a while now.

Neon Brights
What's Spring/Summer without a pop of bright colour to liven up your look? Previously to this year I've never been much of a neon girl but for some reason I've been eyeing up some neon key pieces. Just one integral item added to your look will give it a spot of energy without going too over board. 

 
 

Colour Me Cobalt Blue
Always a gorgeous colour to have in your wardrobe as it appears regularly in trends and I always find is such a striking tone of blue.

 



Sandal Me Up
I always hate it when my feet get all hot and sticky during the summer when I'm wearing heels but sandals are the perfect way to keep your feet cool. Heeled sandals are a great idea for work outfits as their heel is not usually too high.
 

Accessories
One item I've really been lusting for is a see-through plastic purse. Now it's not the most practical if your bag is stuffed with old tissues and empty chewing gum packets but if you're a tidy and confident bag owner you'll be fine. 





And of course ever since I saw this beauty on 'The Londoner' blog I have fallen in love with it. It's this Céline  wonder.
 

A Perfect Match
I'm not sure if I'd ever be able to pull off the co-ordinate look but when I find the perfect pattern and shape I can't help but wish.





Pop Art
Very recently the pop art trend has come into view and I think it's an easy way of working a bit more dimension and youth into your look. (I have to say however; that I'm not the biggest fan of pop art.)

  

Beach Bod

It's getting to be that time of year when us lassies start to prepare for beach body season. Stash away that Easter chocolate girls!

 

  

 

I'd go on to my beauty wish list but I have to stop before this list gets too long and I begin to look just the slightest bit materialistic ;) But  you get the idea. Bright colours, simple silhouettes and over all energetic looks.

Thanks for reading,

Ciara.

I don't own any of these images.

Glittering Glory

  

Happy weekend all!

Hope you've been enjoying yourselves and celebrating the weekend. I've been up early helping out at school and after some lunch I thought I'd talk about this season's love of sequins!


As Christmas party dressing is making its appearance; glamorous, fancy, and sparkling pieces have been taking over the shops. And here are a few glittering pieces I'd like to get my hands on.

Firstly my love of 1920's flapper fashion has been awakened once again with this Shimmy Shimmy dress from Free People (my current favourite brand).

 

Another beaut from Free People is this uber glam crimson number.



Topshop have also hopped on the band waggon it seems and have created a number of sequined pieces to put you in that Christmas-y mood.

 

 

And if you those don't take your fancy then pop on to Asos to experience the sequin frenzy over there.

   

 

If you shy away from this flashy glam style of dressing why not accessorise with a be-sparkled bag or purse from Anya Hindmarch?

     

  

The sequin look is impossible easy to pull off and a perfect statement piece for both casual dressing or evening wear!

Thanks for reading,

Ciara.
