The Outfit | Fifteen

Shirt:Vintage

Skirt: American Apparel

Sunglasses: Lucy's Lounge (Vintage)

Shoes: Missguided

Feels like forever since I've done an outfit post..or any post for that matter! I've been mostly focused on getting everything together for my final college assessment in a couple weeks, but after May the 6th everything will go back to being regular again. 

Just a simple outfit, this is a mans shirt but buttoned down and rolled up I think it's easier enough to pull off. You can't wear a bra with this so the likelihood of a nip slip is great.. just be sure to keep an eye on things so there's no mishaps!

I hope everyone is enjoying this bit of sunshine we're having!

The ones that didn't quite make the cut.

Over past few months I've been compiling together pictures that didn't exactly quite make the cut of being 'post worthy'. Whenever I take outfit pictures there is honestly more to be discarded than kept so I thought I would pick out a few of my favorites and dedicate a whole post to me looking like an arse. Enjoy!

I'd love an oul follow!

March in pictures

In the month that we celebrate St. Patrick banishing Ireland of snakes I realized that my life isn't actually too exciting. With college and work I have little time to be doing anything of interest.

 I'm also trying to save as much money as possible for the summer which is proving to be more difficult than I originally thought, anyone got some tips on saving money?

The Culottes Trend.

                            

My latest obsession is the wonder that is the culotte. Originally worn by gentlemen of the European upper class in the late Middle Ages they somehow made their way into women's fashion and having been a huge trend during the 60's and 70's they disappeared off the radar only to make a modern comeback in 2015.

I put together two different ways I would style them. Both sticking to the androgynous theme.

What are your thoughts on culottes.. yes or nah?

The Outfit | Fourteen

Top: Promod

Jeans: Vintage

Checked shirt: Urban Outfitters

Shoes: Missguided

So after 200 years I finally got myself a pair of mom jeans.. the best part is, they were only a tenner! Not only am I happy, so is my bank balance. I'm trying to come up with different ways of styling them but I kept this pretty basic, less is more n'stuff.

March Style Inspiration.

So, I've decided that every so often it would be nice to make a post based around pictures I come across on places like tumblr and pinterest in an attempt to inspire different ways to style things. 

It's easy to get stuck in a bit of a style rut sometimes, most days I wear the same jeans and a smelly old hoodie my boyfriend left behind. But seeing pictures like these makes me want to pack in this homeless vibe I have going on and opt for something a little less help me i'm poor and a little more Alexa Chung meets Dawn Porter.

Here's what's catching my eye this month:

Mom jeans

Crocet bralets

Tulle skirts

Layered necklaces

I hope this has inspired at least one of you!

Until next time folks!

Manuka Honey Face Mask

I'm forever trying to come up with ways to save money and make my own face and hair masks. One recipe I came across a year or two ago was this one, I began using it at a time my skin was covered in breakouts that I couldn't shift and within 3 months of using it I saw a dramatic change in my skins appearance and so, I have been using this ol' reliable mask on and off since. 

You will need:

2 tablespoons of Manuka Honey 

2 tablespoons of Cinnamon 

2 drops of Tea Tree Oil

Manuka Honey is a natural antibacterial, it contains acids, which aids in the clearing of dead skin cells preventing and clearing acne. While doing this it also hydrates, rejuvenates and protects the skin. Cinnamon helps to bring blood and nutrients to the skin while helping to dry any acne on the face. While adding a drop or two of tea tree oil will remove any kind of bacteria that can build up on your skin causing more breakouts. 

Please do share any diy face masks you know of, I'd love to try them!

February in pictures

So if you don't know already, to change things up on my blog and to steer away from the usual fashion and beauty posts I have decided to share a few of my favourite instagram snaps on here and give a little low down on the past month. 

I'm still struggling to come to terms with the fact that we're already into March. February was quite stressful with college,work and everything else inbetween it's no wonder it flew in! But sandwiched between all that I had a lovely Valentine's Day, finally got to see The Kooks, let my friend paint my body and started to plan a few little summer getaways.

Dublin Street Style

For those of you who don't know, I'm studying fashion in college and as part of my work experience I have to come up with a college fashion magazine. One article in it is street style so, the other day I took to the street of Dublin to take my pictures. Two birds, one stone and all that I decided to make a post out of it. These are my result!
