| 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 ...

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 ...

Hey all, long time no chat! My blog has been extremely neglected since October with juggling  college and work it has been a crazy busy and stressful couple of months. On friday after submitting my last assignment of the year (woo) I decided I needed to get back into doing the things I love: producing and writing for my blog and posting on my Instagram.  Now  I am back with a new post, this one is all about looking back at my favourite looks from 2018. 2018 has been one of the best year's of my life. So many good things have happened to me and I am forever grateful for everything that has come my way. My motto for 2018 was to just go for it and see what happens and it was truly the best piece of my own advice I ever followed lol. I was scrolling through my phone looking at outfit photos from the past year and it's crazy the progress you have made when you look back on the year. My aim for 2019 is to keeping going and better myself, my content and everything in betwe...

| The Beauty Blog Awards 2018 |

Proud is an understatement, my mind has been buzzing all week! What an experience. I still can't believe I attended this event ah literally pinch me, when I first reached out to my followers for a potential nomination I never anticipated getting as far as the longlist for 'Best Newcomer Blog' and now I can say I made  the shortlist for Best Newcomer with the Top 20  Bloggers in my category from  Ireland, such a dream to actually say out loud haha. I was extremely nervous before attending the event, this was my first proper blogger event and I didn't know what to expect at all. My expectations were met ten times over from the stunning location (Lillies Dublin) to the gals I met that night. Everyone I got chatting to were so nice and extremely down to earth. I know I met some gals that I would now call friends, so supportive of one another and just overall understand the blogger game and the struggles we all go through in this industry. I felt so lucky to be sta...

Hey all, this week has been very busy with moving all my things back up to Maynooth and settling into my new home for my final year (even thinking about that is so scary- how did I get to my final year, I still feel like a baby) but I have finally unpacked everything and made it my own little space. I was dreading packing everything up especially my clothes because to my surprise I have A LOT (I never imagined I would fill the car with clothes and belongings but I did haha oh well, a gal doesn't travel light. I am the kind of gal that likes variety in their wardrobe and the one thing I leave at home will be the piece of clothing I want to wear constantly so I have to take everything. You think you would be used to moving home and back after a couple of years but you really don't, there is a massive difference every year and you definitely learn something new every year. Ok so I am so off topic for this blogpost, if you follow me on Instagram ( FASHIONFOLLOWS ) you will know t...

| Summer 18 through a lens |

I can't actually believe this is my last post before I head back to college, this summer has been quick, crazy and slightly more productive than others. I think I have learned a far deal of things over this summer from travelling, working hard on my blog and realising a few very important life lessons in between. I decided to use the photos captured this Summer to describe my thoughts on the last couple of months because Pictures can really speak volumes and show how you feel in the moment. | JUNE | | My first ever travel destination with Eoghan | Tenerife: One of the best experiences, it truly has made me want to travel more and more now! p.s wear sunscreen at all times kids!
