Summer Festival Fashion

Published on July 10, 2017July 10, 2017 by Beauty and the BrunetteLeave a comment

It has been festival season a while now but with Longitude being on this weekend I thought I would do a festival style post. Being festival season means bring out the tents and heading to the field for 2/3 days of music, drink and sunshine (maybe not in Ireland though…) This post is going to be filled with festival outfits for inspiration! I love seeing other peoples outfits and going about putting my own style onto it.

I love pyjamas!

I own a million pairs, the minute i come home i throw on my pjs straight away. I love this time of the year when your cuddled up in your pjs or comfy robe with a mug of tea, chocolate and watching movies.

There’s so many nice pyjamas and lounge wear in shops lately and what a better time of year to treat yourself and buy a new set! They are also a great present for people to, who doesn’t love receiving new pyjamas and fluffy socks.

I thought I would share my favourite pieces I found online.

Choker Style Tops

Published on October 5, 2016October 25, 2016 by Beauty and the BrunetteLeave a comment

When I was growing up I was a massive fan of chokers, specially a pink or black ones. Summer 16 has been the comeback for 90s Choker Style!! Is strange seeing trends you remember growing up come back into fashion years later, but its all a circle everything comes back into fashion with a modern twist!

In 2016 there is way more different styles of chokers such as the velvet wide or thin band, ribbon style, wraps and even necklace type. They are EVERYWHERE!

Sometimes I get in the mood of wearing no accessories so I was glad to see this choker style top. This type of tops incorporates a choker into it. I have gotten a few of my favourite choker style tops I found online at the moment, all different types (from casual to smart, colours and sizes!) These tops make an outfit appear more stylish as there is a lot of choices and you can put your own twist on the outfit!

Burgundy Choker Neck 3/4 Sleeve Top — New Look €14.99

Ana Black Choker Plunge Chiffon Peplum Top — Pretty Little Thing €28

Tall Sinead Low Scoop Neck Choker T-Shirt — Boohoo €19

Mad about…. Bandanas

Published on September 23, 2016 by Beauty and the BrunetteLeave a comment

One of this years hottest trends that I still love! You can wear them in so many different ways. They can easily transform your look and a great addition to your wardrobe. I love the silk or the most common, cotton. Silk can just dress up the outfit and make it classy while the cotton just gives a casual outfit abit of edge!

Heres some inspiration from Pinterest:

College Fashion!

Published on September 14, 2016 by Beauty and the Brunette3 Comments

Its that time of year again! Now that colleges have started back I wanted a blog post on some inspirational outfits!

Its so hard to find nice stylish clothes but with comfort also! Lately I am loving jeans and tshirts, shirts and dressy tops. I am wearing these with runners and coming into Autumn/winter boots and jackets can style them up! I love how with a normal outfit like them that anyone can wear it,funk it up with your own style and twist on it!

Summer calls for Bodysuits!

The days of having rumpled up tops in your pants are gone! The bodysuits are everywhere and have become huge for Summer 16 and are the situation to a flawless effortless look! There is so many different styles out now such as – short sleeves, cut out, off the shoulder..

I have a ton of bodysuits, they look great with jeans, skirts, shorts and I love how you can dress it down or dress it up! My favourite is this burnt orange vest one from New look (featured below in the pictures). They are great staples to have in your wardrobe as they are so easy to style into an outfit.
