chats in my notes: my reality as a graduate - uncut

ok so this blogpost literally has come out of nowhere although I have been debating talking about the feeling of finally finishing my undergrad forever. I felt sad yesterday and decided to write all my feelings in my notes app on my iPhone, it helped me a lot and I just decided to share it with you gals because I want to be real and share my thoughts with others who might feel the same now they are finished university. To be honest, I still haven't come to terms with it. All I can say is, it has been a huge shock to the system the last few weeks. During the summer it never hit me but as soon as I seen people heading out for freshers and their back in college snaps it was like I walked straight into a clear glass door haha sorry that is dramatic but it's true. The most shocking part of freedom from college was the move back home to Monaghan. I was fully preparing myself for heading back up to Maynooth this year but of course that wasn't happening now that I have a full ...

| Electric Picnic: my experience, thoughts and tips |

Sitting here in my pjs after a hectic two weeks of EP, graduation excitement and big news about a new job opportunity.  It has been a while since my last post which is a regular sentence that features in nearly every single post this year. Sorry again for the inconsistency but I am hoping to get back on track by the end of this year or start of 2020 with regular posting on my blog and instagram. A little life update: This summer has been the busiest I have ever been in my work life, I was juggling 2 jobs which meant working 6 days a week on top of creating content for my blog, learning how to drive and also trying to complete an online course in Digital Marketing. Of course at times I felt like I was drowning in things to do and my brain was on overload but I got there in the end. After completing a Marketing internship this summer, I have gained a full-time position as a Marketing Assistant which I am so proud and happy to say. It's time to enter the real world. Although very di...

| 4 Looks 1 Destination | - Gran Canaries, Spain

Hey gals, it has been way too long since I posted on here. So sorry as usual I have the typical excuse coming up haha but of course my final year exams was priority. Also I finally submitted my Media dissertation after months and months of breakdowns (if you follow me on Instagram and watch my stories you will know and thank you for watching lol) I started this outfit series on my blog last summer. I received some fab feedback and you gals seemed to like it a lot. I personally enjoy writing and creating this type of content the most, of course fashion is my love and OOTDs are the basis of my entire platform. A couple of weeks ago, Me and my boyfriend spent a week in Mogan in Spain (Gran Canaries) and we had the BEST time ever. One of my favourite travel destinations to date. I might do another post about the holiday if you gals are interested in what to do and explore in the area and my recommendations overall. If you don't follow me on Instagram and didn't see my holiday ...

| THE DREAM | LFW

Image
London Fashion week is the ultimate dream... For me it depicts everything iconic about fashion industry. An experience I can only imagine today but sometime maybe (praying) will become a reality. Everyone in attendance is there to share, express and showcase their love for fashion and personal style.  An event where limits don't exist and people make a creative mark on the fashion society.  To celebrate my love for LFW I want to share my stand-out looks and trends from the week. With every London Fashion Week comes an abundance of fashionable gals, this gal is definitely not complaining it makes me extremely excited about new trends and always presents that inspiration I need for my own personal style.  Before Instagram bursted onto the scene, fashion week was mostly documented by magazines and media publications. I was always that gal waiting to clear the magazine shelves to get the first glimpse. This form of media coverage to a certain extent ...

| AMSTERDAM |

Hey gals I recently went to Amsterdam for a short break with my boyfriend. It was amazing to finally relax after a crazy start to my final year of university. This post will hopefully be informative and helpful for any of you gals that want to explore this cool and charismatic city. Before we set off for Amsterdam I done my research into what I wanted to see and do. I also swear by using the travel site  https://www.ebookers.ie They offer great deals on combo packages (Flights and accommodation) We have booked numerous trips with the site and it is amazing for checking ratings and reviews of hotels while also booking your trip for an affordable price. I recommend doing this before any trip if you are like me and need to know what and where to go when exploring a new area of Europe. I looked into different food places, landmarks and areas in Amsterdam and there is so many to choose from especially when it comes to food. Endless options. Me and my boyfriend stayed in J...

| let's talk sustainability in fashion | 2019 goal

Hi gals, hope you all had a fab start to 2019. This is going to be a long one for a change but it is an extremely important topic that needs to be addressed this year. Recently my mind has wandered around the concept of  'Sustainable Fashion' and my contribution to Fast Fashion. The last decade I have become a frequent consumer and lover of fashion. For me, I would be nothing without my love for fashion, it's a part of me and what I stand for. Fashion is one or if not the biggest industry in the world  right now. Most consumers are fashion conscious and trend crazed. We all want to be in the 'best' clothes to place a stamp on the fashion world. I wanted to be completely honest in this blogpost and like most of us there were times I wouldn't go a week without buying something online. It was a vicious cycle, a habit where a new event always needed a brand new outfit. This kind of behaviour is addictive and to a certain extent you can't blame us due to ...
