I've got the hump.


The current item at the top of my most wanted list is a camel coloured leather bag. I'm open to tan or a very light brown either but camel is the object of my desire. The problem is there are so many gorgeous leather bags out there right now that i'm finding it hard to narrow down my choice.

Ted Baker €259
This is a beauty. It's Ted Baker so they have used gorgeous quality leather, so soft and I love the stitching, it makes its cute and quirky. Bonus is the over shoulder strap for trekking about but being detachable is handy for using on posher occasion.
River Island €79
River Island always has a fantastic choice of handbags, especially in leather and this is the first of two I found here. This is a brilliant price and I can fit in everything but the kitchen sink which is just the way I like it. Plus it has a handy coin purse/mobile pocket to boot!
River Island €56
Now normally I'm not a fan of pleather but this bag is very convincing and the price is fantastic so I slipped it in as an alternative option. I like the quirky shape but it is definitely more of a day bag than for night.
Asos  €34
I love this. It is a perfect clutch for going out. Plus such a great price for something that you will always have. The design on the leather makes it look much more expensive too.
Asos €96
I think this has to be my favourite. This is the colour I've been searching for, definitely more camel than tan, it's big, has a shoulder strap and is really funky. I think this has to be the one. But before I go I thought I would sneak in a quick luxury wish list model fo rwhen I win the lotto.
Marc Jacobs €370


What more do I need to say? Beautiful.

So are you a fan of Camel?

 Any gorgeous bag sightings for me?

The Blouse is back!



Yep grannies around the world can let out a sigh of relief now the blouse is back in fashion. And not just for grannies either. This Summer has seen an abundance of cute flirty and sheer styles that can satisfy any sexy minx. Plus there is plenty of choice from pussybow to ethic and pretty florals. Here is a little selection of ones that have caught me eye!


Ahhh how cute is this little number from Miss Selfridge. its only 47 euro and limited edition so grab it quick. Would be so cute with a pair of cut off shorts!

I saw this in River Island and thought it would be so cute for work with white jeans or a charcoal pencil skirt and it's only 34 euros so great value too!

I love this from Top Shop. It's so pretty and feminine and a nice way to join in with the floral trend this summer. Could be perfect for festivals with shorts. 43 euro


For cuteness alone this one gets top marks. It comes in a couple of colours and the Peter pan collar gives it a little"Mad Men" edge. 50 euro.

So thats me convinced I'm buying all four. How bout you? Have you got your blouse on yet?

That Festival Time of Year


Oooooh very exciting, Summer is coming and you know what that means? Yes festivals. As well as the amazing music, fantastic atmosphere and memorable experiences, it's also such a good excuse to add some festival chic to your wardrobe! I have done a little hunting around and come across these little gems......
These doc boots from ASOS are reduced from 103 euro to 82 euro. Perfect if the weather is wet and misreable, which let's face it, it's probably going to happen.
And check out these gorgeous shorts from Topshop.  They are only 40 euro and the colour is so hot for summer and flattering for our dodgy Irish skin tones.





River Island are also getting in on the act with a fantastic selection of tshirts, dresses and accessories to finnish off your festival outfits. For example this tshirt is only 20 euro and will look darn cute with the topshop shorts!

How cool is this 4 man teepee tent? You and the girls(or of course guys) can go all Cherokee in this cute tent. And even better its half price with Argos right now. It was 119 euro now only 54! Bargain.
