Pink hair & Pink Frills

Hey Gals,

Happy Sunday! Hope you are all having a nice weekend and enjoying the lovely weather.

I changed up my look this week with a loreal colorista colour. As you might have already noticed I love changing up my hair colour and these wash out colours are perfect as they allow me to do this without the commitment. They have sprays which are basically makeup for your hair, wash outs( what I used) and permanent colours too. I used the pastel pink and peach this week. The peach is in a layer underneath my hair. I wanted to try out the peach and see what way it turned out and I really like it so I'm going to go all over with the peach next time. These colours last in the hair for 2-3 washes. The more vibrant colours last longer.

The outfit

I fell in love with this pink ruffle shirt when I seen it on @lissyroddyy instagram. Her page is insane, major outfit inspo on the daily!! I scoured the websites for the shirt but couldn't find it so I went instore and was lucky enough to nab the last one.

I teamed it with a pair of high waist retro jeans and my pink slip on shoes for a cute summertime look.

Ruffles by the sea

Hi Girls,

Happy Mothers day! Hope you are enjoying the blissful sunshine as much as me. Myself and Damien took a trip to Ballybunion today and it was so fab!! I fell in love with the little seaside town.

The sun makes everywhere so beautiful and really makes me appreciate what we have on our doorstep in Ireland. I love going on European city breaks so much but I said this year we would take more trips around Ireland instead. There is so many gorgeous places to see.

Anyhow I went for a really summery outfit for the day that was in it. I picked up these mom style jeans during the week, I feel like they are the jeans that suit my shape best. They came with a cute denim frayed belt but I took it off them for todays look.

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend, I am off to get ready for dinner tonight.

Spring Daze

Hi Gals,

It was such a lovely day today I decided to style a spring outfit and head out to Bray for some lunch. I picked up this cute knitted outfit a couple of weeks ago and have been waiting for a bit of sun so I could wear it.  I teamed it with some peach runners and this patchwork denim jacket. My favourite grey handbag and Aluxe sunnies finished off the look.

Killashee hotel

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had a lovely weekend. I had a fab night away in Killashee hotel that I thought I would share with you all. With Mothers day coming up I thought this would be a lovely present to get the Mammys that do so much for us. I actually stayed with Damien but there is a spa there too which would be a really nice Mother daughter day out too.

It was so nice to get away even if it was just for the night as we've been saving hard for the last few months. I think its important to take one night even if it is just once every couple of months to indulge and spoil yourself. Killashee hotel is within an hour of where I live so we hadn't got far to go either. We got a lovely day on Friday with the weather so we took a walk around the hotel grounds. Its such a fab location for a wedding and god love Damien I had him taking my outfit pictures all around the gardens, there was way to many photo ops not to take advantage of them. 

We stayed in a junior suite, the decor was traditional and so amazing and spacious. From the four poster bed to the jacuzzi bath I could have happily spent the whole time in the room. I was booked in for a spa treatment so I dragged myself away from it after lunch. I got a pro collagen quartz lift facial done which firms up the skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and now I look 18 again, Yay!! :)

We stayed in the hotel for dinner and went to Turners Restaurant. If you are eating here, you have to try the steak, it was delish!! I definitely reccommend the cocktails here too. 

If you are thinking of staying at Killashee or treating someone special they have some great deals here www.killasheehotel.com.

Hope you enjoyed this post.

When in Belfast

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had a nice weekend. I had a lot of questions over the weekend about my trip to Belfast so I thought it would be easier to do a blog post so I can refer back to here and share everything we done while there.

I love going on a little January trip, something to look forward to after Christmas. I had planned on just going to Belfast and doing the Titanic Experience and the Giants Causeway in the one day. They were both places I wanted to visit for a while now so it was good to get them both ticked off the list in the one weekend. Something I said I would do as part of my New years resolutions was to take more city breaks. I am 100% one of those book now and worry about how I'm going to get the money up for it later kinda people. Last minute.com I went online Thursday evening to price hotels so we could spend a night in Belfast. I got a deal for Jurys Inn so we booked there. Cheap and cheerful the room was basic but it grand as we didn't spend much time in the room.

What to do

The Titanic Experience...

 I always had an interest in the Titanic and the film is one of my all time favourites so I was dying to do the tour.  The only thing I was raging about was the fact that on a Sunday they do afternoon tea there & its set in the Titanic suite where they have a replica of the staircase from the ship. If I had of looked on the website before going I would have waited to go on a Sunday so I could have done that. I'll do my research next time.

Eat at  

Flame restaurant...

Upon checking into our hotel , the lovely receptionist asked if we had made dinner reservations. She told us of Flame which was only a 2 minute walk from our hotel. The restaurant and staff were amazing and the atmosphere was so nice, they had live music and I could have stayed there all night. Its definitely a must- eat spot. * Try the Pineapple Express cocktail, it tastes like Summer if there was such a thing!

Visit

The Giants Causeway...

I can't put into words how amazing it really is, you have to go and see it.  For anyone that doesn't know, the Giant's Causeway is basically a coastline consisting of basalt columns of rock ranging in size as you can see from my pictures. It is the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. We have so many amazing landmarks in Ireland and this is definitely one you MUST see to believe how amazing our little country is.

The Carrick a Rede Rope Bridge...

When I said I was going to be visiting The Giants Causeway I got so many messages saying I had to visit the Rope Bridge too. It was only a 15 minute drive from the causeway. The scenery is amazing here and there are lots of vantage points to take in the views and get some lovely pictures. It is about a 10 minute coastal walk from the car park to the rope bridge. I think we went at peak time because we had to queue for about 45 mins to cross the rope bridge. This is most definitely not for the faint hearted. The weather bears a huge factor in whether you can cross the bridge or not. The story behind the bridge is that fisherman made it to link the mainland to a tiny island, Carrickarede during salmon season. The bridge is 20 metres wide and is 30 metres above the rocks below.

Don't forget..

To take a trip to the peace walls. You can take a black taxi tour for around 25 euro and will learn the history behind these walls.

All in all it was a great trip and I feel like we got a lot in in the two days we were there.

  Hope you enjoyed reading.

Fishnet Frenzy

Hi gals,

I hope everyone had a fab Christmas and is looking forward to the New Year as much as I am.

I thought I would start off the New Year with a fashion post on my latest obsession- fishnets!! They give such an edgy feel to any look. I had been looking for the bigger fishnets for weeks and couldn't find them anywhere. I got the smaller style fishnets just before Christmas and wore them with my Xmas Eve outfit. My friend Ingrid knew I was on the hunt for them and bought me the bigger style net's and gave them as part of my Christmas pressie, so I styled my New Years day outfit with them.

I love the tights under ripped jeans.

For my New Years day outfit I teamed the fishnets and jeans with a cool shirt I got in Zara. I loved the glitter detail on the shirt and decided to wear it loose with a red bralet under for a pop of colour. Sock boots are my go to shoe lately especially when I know its going to be a long day because the block heel makes them so comfortable.

To complete my rock chick look I done a mini french fohawk along the centre of my hair and left the rest down in curls. I have a youtube video on a similar style on my youtube channel ( just search my name)

I wore a similar style outfit for Xmas Eve. I had the smaller hole style fishnets so they weren't as noticeable under the jeans. I bought a cami top and velvet choker and wore the same jeans and sock boots with this look.

Velvet Crushing!!

Hi Everyone,

I am obsessing over velvet this season. I shot these three looks for a Christmas feature a few weeks ago and only realised after that every piece I wore was velvet!! This velvet number was only €12 in Penneys.  I styled the dress with these fab over the knee boots. It looks like the 60's are back!! 

Every girl needs a LBD in her wardrobe for the festive season.

The ruffle detail adds a little something to a plain black dress. I wore it off the shoulders for an extra girly feel. This velvet LBD is from River Island.

And finally if your not a Xmas dress kinda gal this one is for you. I teamed the cute velvet bomber with a lace bralet and high waisted velvet trousers. If you had of described this outfit to me I probably would have said sounds too much but I think the double velvet and lace really compliment each other. The high waisted trousers are really flattering too! This full look is from River Island and the jewellery is from CHUPI.

Let the Christmas party season commence!!

Dominique
