weirdo with five colours in her hair

26 May

Summer has arrived in London!

This past week has been scorching hot and I have spent many a day in the park. It was also a good excuse to buy some bright summer clothes.

I also have some exciting news – I have a NEW JOB! I start on Monday… excited slash nervous. I will now be working in social media, which I am delighted about. I am looking forward to finishing my first day as have the jitters already! I was in my last job over here for just over a year and was all cosy and settled plus I loved the people I worked with – but it wasn’t the career I wanted. Recruitment was good for the short term but not for me! At least I made some wonderful friends out of it and it helped make my first year in London so wonderful.

As a hurrah to summer I have had ice-cream for breakfast everyday this week.

home to the land of blaas and tayto

30 Apr

If you know what the above title means then you are probably from Ireland. 

Blaas are amazing local baps/rolls from Waterford and Tayto are fantastic (albeit smelly!) Irish crisps… Mmm!

I am now fully back in London and back to blogging land – hurrah!

First post – nothing too strenuous, just an outfit post from an Easter night out back home.

A view into my wardrobe

A sneak peak into my wardrobe -pinks, prints, studs and neons.

I can’t believe it is April already. How did that happen?! Although it is hard to tell what month we have,  from sunbathing last week and going bare legged to freezing, wearing massive jackets and carrying brollies!

I am flying home to Ireland tomorrow for a little visit. Haven’t been home since Christmas so serious catch up time and seeing my (fat!) dogs! It is now Thursday night and I have yet to pack… oops!

Happy Easter!

what big shades you have… all the better to see you with my dear

26 Mar

London has been having some great weather lately!

I took last Friday off and ventured to Regents Park for a picnic… met a little dog friend too!

It was a lovely day of drinking rosé in the sun.

Outfit deets:

Blazer: River Island

Necklace: Topshop

Shorts: River Island

Sunglasses: TIffany & Co

Belt: Urban Outfitters

White top: Topshop

Back to work this week, and it’s tough being in a basement office when the sun is blasting down outside.

Days are brighter now so some beer garden evenings shall be had to compensate for the long days cooped up!

where’s my ship?

20 Mar

I bought this anchor necklace (£10) from Topshop recently.

I love it!

It has a nice long chain too which I am always a fan of!

(worn with my Topshop tiger jumper!)

i heart hermes

20 Feb

I am so in lust with my Hermès scarf that I gave it a mini photo shoot.

That, and it was freezing outside, meant I had hours to pass!

Ever since I got into Mad Men last year I have had a thing for silk scarves. I have quite a collection in my drawers, from River Island to Asos to Tophop – I haven’t ventured far from the high street due to 1.) not owning a money tree and 2.) spending most of my money on numerous little scarves instead of saving to get a pricier one.

I was delighted when I got a present of this beautiful Hermès scarf with beautiful animal patterns. The quality and touch of the scarf is amazing and makes any outfit that little bit more *magical*

buns, bows and annie mac

12 Feb

Last night I went to see Annie Mac at Koko – an amazing night. I now need to find Annie and convince her to be my NBF.

It was my first time in Koko and I absolutely loved it – a beautiful venue, laid out over several floors. While on the dance floor I decided that I could happily stay there forever and ever. And ever.

The music was unbelievable.

It was one of the coldest nights I’ve experienced so far in London but, despite this, several girls had teeny shorts and bare legs. If that had been me I would be a frozen statue in Camden now – it would take several hairdryers to defrost me! Instead I opted for black tights (still never warm enough!), a long sleeved dress (I sound like a granny) and some comfortable brogues (officially in granny territory now), my massive black jacket from Asos and some cat-shaped earmuffs.

I based my outfit around a scarf that I decided to wear as a hairband.

I had some panicked minutes, where I was already late to meet my friends, standing in my room with my hairband on and no clue what to wear! I remembered packing a long black, shoulder padded dress in my suitcase after Christmas. I bought it ages ago but only ever wore it once as it is long enough on me so only looks good with black tights – to avoid midget leg syndrome.

We started off in the Earl of Camden – great pub with comfy sofas and fantastic food (from what I could see… and smell!), although I just had a bag of crisps ’cause I’m classy like that.

Outfit deets:

Dress: Topshop

Scarf (worn as hairband): River Island

Watch: Swatch

Necklace: Topshop

Earrings: Tiffany

Battered bag: Fendi (it’s been through the mill at this stage!)

I used Topshop’s felt-tip lip pen in Berry on my lips – it literally lasts the whole night and doesn’t come off when you’re drinking. I just wore a clear gloss over it as I find lip stains can be quite drying on their own.

I now feel I want to wear hairband scarves everyday. Forever!

little studded boots for little tiny feet

25 Jan

My new shoes from Pretty Small Shoes arrived today!

Here I am in the ol’ office (how glam!)…

I love the studded boots – all size 2 of them! They fit perfectly and seem very comfortable… well, from wearing them while sitting down! I will take them out for their first outing on Friday.

The jumper I’m wearing is from Topshop (Unique). Spotted it in town one day but they didn’t have my size left, so bought it on eBay the min I got home, arrived in the post yesterday.

Reminds me of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air… 90′s revival!

january never looked so good

21 Jan

Sod the January blues.

I decided to try to be somewhat good this month and not go out every weekend… so instead I decided to shop with the money I would save from a night out.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

New year, new wardrobe… or at least some new additions.

I got this jacket type thing (below) in River Island, £40 – one of those purchases that is an acquired taste! I know the printed, bold pattern isn’t for everyone – but I liked it the minute I spotted it. It is nice and fitted but also looks like a sports top… Also I am a big fan of tigers!

I really love crosses on jewellery (£8) and – hey, I guess this hat (£13) will come in handy for St. Patrick’s day!

Both River Island.

Took a little wander to Penneys… which is Primark over here! I love anything with skulls, went through a bit of a phase in university of buying everything and anything decorated with skulls, boots, tops, earrings… some things never change!

Scarf £3

You can’t go wrong with Topshop but after seeing jumpers in Primark for £12 everything seemed so expensive! Saw a gorg fox jumper in the sale but had to tell myself that I have enough bloody jumpers by now! Plus I have my little DIY jumper job to complete too…

Got a twisty/bendy type hairband for £1.50 (blue/turquoise one below) and a moustache necklace (£8.50) !!

Love! Movember comes early!

Jumper: Unique by Topshop

Necklace and Skirt: Miss Selfridges

Saw the jumper in Topshop and loved it!… they didn’t have my size so went home and bought it on eBay – (wasn’t on Topshop’s site either!)
