Georgia Hardinge For River Island

SS13

Over the summer I wore this beautiful dress from the Georgia Hardinge for River Island Design Fourm SS13 and ALOT of people asked me where it was from. This was the first time her clothing became available for me to buy and I was very excited. Georgia launched her first collection during London Fashion Week 2009. She has collaborated with worldwide companies such as Victoria's Secrets and Lancome and has dressed the likes of Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Jessie J and Nicole Sherzinger.

Georgia Hardinge for River Island Design Forum SS13 was a huge success. Now Georgia Hardinge has announced her collaberation with River Island will continue and there will be a AW13 collection. Yay!! 

 The 11 piece collection will be available to buy in stores and online at www.riverisland.com from the end of November.

Are you excited??

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.

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.

Cami Top, Sunglasses & Ring Topshop // Shorts & Sandals Pennys // Chain H&M // Bracelets Mixed // MK Watch

I miss being able to wear this kind of outfit, its so comfortable and easy. The weather has turned here in Ireland but hopefully we will get some more sunshine before the end of summer. This is my last outfit from holidays (yes finally).

So above I am wearing a black crop cami from Topshop, white shorts from Pennys / Primark and last years gold sandals from Pennys / Primark. H&M gold link chain, I actually haven't bought jewellery from Topshop in the longest time, I buy in H&M now because they don't tarnish and are way cheaper.

 Returned from Birmingham on Tuesday and had a great shopping weekend and a lovely time at the wedding :) View pics HERE on my Instagram. I wore a beautiful Georgia Hardinge dress from River Islands website (everyone is asking where I got my dress) with my famous Zara strap sandals and New Look white clutch for only €10. Kept my jewellery simple with gold plated earrings from River Island, MK Watch and Bracelets.

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.
