Investment Piece: Leather & Leopard ASOS Biker Jacket.

Say hello to my newest investment piece, this leopard print leather biker jacket from Asos.It has a gorgeous horse-hair effect that really makes it stand out. I'm in love! It's was a bit pricey at €200, but you have to treat yourself sometimes though! Its an investment, and I can see it being a stand-out piece in my wardrobe for years to come. What are your stand out pieces from your wardrobe?, I'd love to know!

Peace,

Presenting at the Feline Fatale Fashion Show

Here is a  little post on some presenting work I did recently, at the Feline Fatale Fashion Show that took place in the Galway Bay Hotel, and showcased the best that Galway's independent shops and designers.

All the proceeds went to the Galway Cat Rescue, a very deserving charity. I was delighted to be given the MCing position, along with friend and fellow blogger Byron Yeates. Having only ever been a model at fashion shows, making the move to MCing was a daunting task, but one I was determined to undertake! Thankfully it went really well, it was little frightening at times, but overall a wonderful experience, and something I would do again in a heartbeat. The show was a spectacular success, with huge amounts of funding raised for the GCR team. Here are some shots of the night for you all!

Highstreet Style Awards

Im delighted to announce that I will be attending the Umagazine Highstreet Style Awards in Dublin this evening. I was surprised and delighted when I saw an invite in my inbox, including a guest pass!
Well in my opinion there's no better man to have as arm-candy on the night then the dashing Byron Yeates!

Here's all the deets:

Umagazine Highstreet Style Awards is back for a third year and bigger than ever. The U Highstreet Style Awards in association with Diet Coke are back for the third year, with what promises to be an even bigger and more glamorous event than ever before. Taking place in the Mansion House on Friday October 14th the awards will be presented by U Magazine editor Jen Stevens alongside U Magazine publisher and star of RTE’s Dragons Den, Norah Casey. Accolades will be presented to the highstreet stores who are judged to be the best of the best. A total of 12 categories can be voted on and among them are best jeans, best shoes, best accessories and best value.

Public voting had been taking place over the last number of weeks and the race the Overall Best Highstreet Store is heating up. The awards will feature a fashion show with all the trends for the Autumn / Winter season ahead, followed by the awards ceremony.

Seen as there is an some amazing prizes on offer for best dressed lady on the night, I'm going to dress to impress! I will be wearing a wonderful black and white floaty maxi skirt by the amazing Harlow&Harvey label, styled with a simple black high street top with an exposed plunging back. To make the outfit really stand-out I am wearing a multi-chain necklase backwards, so rather than being at the front, the chains cascade down my exposed back! Im really happy with the outfit and cant wait to put it on and have a good time for myself! Byron will be wearing the most DIVINE vintage Yves Saint Laurent shirt, a neutral colored blazer, and grey chinos.... oh la la!!

Better pop off now, lots to do before we get the bus, very excited... A night of fun and folly awaits!

 Also Byron is picking up a snazzy new camera today, so we'll be going mad with the photos, don't worry!

Peace,

 4. Some recent nail experimenting. I present to you: the odd one out! If only I had my hands on a black sharpie, I wanted to do a little doodle on the white one. Maybe a smiley face, or an upside down cross... ooooooh intense!

White Elephant Bar Boot

Some photos from the first ever White Elephant BarBoot Sale, an event myself and Harlow&Harvey  designer Sarah organised, which took place last Sunday. Held by The Kings Head pub in Galway's city centre, the White Elephant Sale (as they used to be called back in the day) hosted a wonderful mishmash of crafters, vintage and pre-loved clothing sellers flogging their wares, and for a very good price mind you! Feeling that it was about time I downsized my overflowing wardrobe, I managed to shift a heap of clothes, shoes and accessories to our bargain-hungry visitors. We were delighted to have amongst our sellers the wonderful Sinead of Cotton Face Vintage and fellow blogger Dani of Madam Snapper. We also had a visit from the lovely Lia of Rags & Retrospect, and not to mention the talented Saibh Egan, who popped in specially to take all of these gorgeous photos, thanks Saibh!

The day was a huge success and we hope to begin planning another one soon, feel free to like our facebook page here to keep updated, and if you would like to participate in our next one, PLEASE dont hesitate to let us know, the more the merrier!

Peace,
