Autumnal Crisp

H&M Shirt - Topshop Leggings - Penneys (Primark) Boots & Sunglasses - Zara Bag - MK Watch - River Island Bracelet

I love these autumnal days and the weather so mild I'm still wearing light shirts. This is my go to shirt and you can find similar HERE.

I hold my hands up, yes I do wear the hell out of these wet look leggings from Topshop (so worth the money) you can find similar HERE from Asos or if you can stretch a little more and get mine above from Topshop HERE. 

The amazing MOST popular Zara Mini Office City Bag above is still available along side so many more beautiful City Bags at Zara. Get mine HERE in Navy, Burgundy (in trend colour) or Grey.

Cut out boots have become a obsession of mine, when I see people wearing them I get a little jealous at times because there are so many different types and I just want them ALL :) Not to worry because I adore my pair from Penneys (Primark).. But I do have a new pair on my wishlist and they are from good old River Island. When I enter RI I go directly to the shoe section because they always have a amazing collection. Find them HERE.

Tomorrow the 17th of November is Remembrance Day for Road Collision Victims in Ireland. Too many people have lost loved ones on the roads.
Please... just be careful.

Hugs!

Grunge - Plaid & Leather

Shirt & Boots Zara - Jacket, Chiquelle - Top, H&M - Fedora Hat, Penneys - Pants, Asos - Daniel Wellington, Watch - Michael Kors, Bag

This time last year in New York City I bought this Plaid shirt in Zara on 5th Avenue. The most AMAZING Zara shop I have experienced yet! It was huge and I was in there for at least 3 hours with a boyfriend with ALOT of patience's. I was really overwhelmed in there and I am pretty sure I spent most of my money in there and Michael Kors :) Ooops! To a result this is my favourite plaid shirt and I adore the colours, a change to red.

Leather Leather - I always reach for leather, its very versatile and you cannot wear enough leather! My Asos leather pants that I have had for forever are very comfortable even tough they don't look it. I reached for my leather jacket this day also (despite it looks sunny, it was pretty cold this day). Oh how I love this leather Jacket from Chiquelle, it can be bought here. Its quite a soft leather which is always good.

Zara Taupe Cowboy Influenced Ankle Boots, Yes if you follow me on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook I have posted pictures of these boots LOADS and imagine its taken me this long to feature them in a outfit post!! I bough them in September the day I was at Boohoo's Christmas Event in Dublin, even tough its taken me forever to post about these boots they are still available thank god. Here in Taupe/Grey and Here in Black.

Count down to Christmas.. Are you guys excited?? I am. :)

Tartan Report

Chiquelle Leather Jacket, here - H&M Tee - Topshop Leggings, here - River Island Boots, here - Michael Kors Bag - Iphone Cover, here - Scarf eBay - Daniel Wellington Watch, here.

Wave goodbye to colour blocking pieces and minimalist tones as we welcome smart grunge and a hint of Scotland into our autumn/winter wardrobes. Finally the time has come for us to embrace tartan and anything that resembles it, whether it be that Topshop kilt from years ago. There are no limits with this multi-functional print or if you like to keep it minimalist just add a splash of tartan, such as my scarf here. 

Two years ago I bought this Tartan scarf off eBay, as I have always adored this print and even as a young girl I had my mother buy me a tartan cape that I still have (but doesn't fit of course, ha!).

Three New Purchases:

These River Island Heeled Western Boots are a new purchase for the winter months and are very chic, they are also available in brown. 

My biker leather jacket from www.chiquelle.com, I saw this leather jacket on one of my favourite bloggers and it was sold to me there and then :)

I have wanted this Moschino Iphone 5 cover for a very long time but I was not going to pay €95 for the real deal and after awhile it was available on eBay and I bought it for €8. Its very much like the real one with the gold chain to wear it off your shoulder and protects your phone very well because its a silicone soft case, shock absorber.

Have a lovely long weekend, I have a very busy on :)

Clap

River Island Snapback // Topshop Cami Top // H&M Kicks // Pennys Bomber & Shorts // MK Watch // Jewellery Mix  

Sadly this is my one and only 'snapback' that I own, except my boyfriend has a great collection that I could borrow, thats if our heads were the same size tough :) This one I picked up at the start of the year on a little shopping spree and I do like the army print, it tends to match everything. 

My jogger shorts were a super buy from Pennys / Primark at the beginning of the Summer for something like, €11. I really got good wear out of these cause the were super easy to wear and went with anything - Sports Luxe Trend! My kicks are a buy from H&M way back when I was on holidays and I live in these.  Matching comfort with style is one of the greatest challenges facing us when planning our seasonal wardrobes. These shorts with an oversized sports jersey would look great. Opt for netting material, along with strips. They have the more sports effect.

You would of seen my black Cami HERE in my last post when I was on holidays. You can dress up or down with a Cami - its so simple to wear, I love them. 

Another Topshop love of mine, My platforms! Featured HERE and HERE. These baby are high buy really are beautiful. I still get very excited to wear these every-time, such a great Birthday present. These Lacie Platforms only come in white at the moment, HERE.

The shorts are a purchase I made on my holidays in Spain. Since the place is black with H&M its hard to resist :) I freaking love these shorts, like my friend said "they are so you".. Inspired from the Sports Luxe trend that I am crazing after, comfort is the only word! The pattern and colours are beautiful and I will be rocking these quite alot over the summer. Amazing quality for only €19.95! 

My newest item I am wear is my necklace from New Look, €8.99. There Jewellry has really improved and they have some really beautiful bits. Check out the website HERE. You will find loads for the races or a wedding and so affordable. 

Having a fun Sunday? I am off to a BBQ soon so I hope you guys enjoy your day too :)

My Visit To Athlone Town Centre

Being from Galway we are deprived of some amazing shops, especially two retail stores that would be my top favourite. They would be Zara and H&M. I wonder sometimes how we function without these two amazing, stylish and affordable stores. 

A few years back Athlone opened the largest shopping centre in the midlands with 60 top retail brands all under the one roof. Catering for all ages, the retailing brands range from M&S and Next to River Island and Zara. View thewebsite here! You can keep up to date with all the goings on in Athlone TC if you follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Its really a great day out and such a novelty for me to have a shopping trip to Athlone Town Centre, where I try to shop as often as I can. Its only 40-50 minutes from Galway and such a easy drive on the motorway. Its just great not having to travel as far as Dublin for these great retail stores.

I was there just last Sunday with my friend and I choose some outfits from my favourite shops just to show you guys what a great shopping experience you can have there. 

My First stop was to H&M, with such affordable clothing I am always super excited to shop here. The H&M in Athlone TC is big so you have great selection there: 

H&M

Yellow and White Patterned Trousers and Vneck white top (shoes my own).

Collared Patterned Sleeveless Shirt.

Monochrome Stripped Wrap shirt.

White T-shirt, Sport Luxe Silk Shorts and Gold Chain

 Prints are huge this summer and aren't going anywhere. H&M have a great selection of prints and I am a sucker for them.

These wrap shirts are huge at the moment too, H&M have the nicest ones I have seen yet. I have one from Zara and Topshop have them too, Beautiful and really elegant.

I am gone a bit mad on the monochrome sports luxe look at the moment and I had to stop myself buying these shorts (cause I have loads already ha) but this white T-Shirt for €9.95 is really fab. It has T-shirt material on the back but the front is silk like a shirt. I forgot to buy this chain, so sad. But next time :)

River Island:

Bowler Hat, Camie Top, Tracky Trousers and Cut Out Hi Tops

Orange Midi Skirt

Sports Luxe look is very me and the bowler hat it pretty cool. These cuts out trainers come in several colours - Red, Blue, Black and White. Super uber with a wedge insert. The cut out detail is so funky, they are really different. 

This Cami top can be worn day and night like above. Orange is a huge trending colour and very eye catching like this figure hugging midi skirt.

  

Zara:

Silk Sleeveless Shirt with Floral Jeans & Orange Pointed Courts 

White Dress (Chain my own).

Floral Jeans are trending this summer too and Zara have some great selection of floral printed jeans. They fit really well and look good on. 

You would of seen these court heels on my Instagram and Facebook and a few people asked me about them, they are lovely and soft on your feet.

This dress would be great for the races with a very colourful head piece. Very classy dress you would have it for years to come.

Topshop: 

Varsity Yellow Crop Top and Topshops Riding pants

Beanie, Mom Jeans and Crop Jumper.

I actually bought this crop top on my shopping trip in Athlone TC, I have been looking for a yellow crop top like this for awhile and to my luck I found it here for €25. Tops like these can be worn casual of course but they look really cool on nights out with a chain like mine above.

These pants are copies of American Apparels riding pants. Super stretchy means super comfy. There are pockets on the back too. 

My other purchase of the day was this Cropped Jumper on sale for just €15. This is very suitable for our Irish weather and I will get loads of wear out of this jumper. You all know I love beanies and you cant go to Topshop without trying one on. They always have a great selection and good quality ones.

I hope you guys enjoyed my post about Athlone Town Centre because I always enjoy my trip here and I hope you guys do/will too, when you come to visit.
