Garnier Miceller Cleansing Water


As of recently I have become slightly obsessed with water cleansers. This was always bound to happen with the popularity of Bioderma on the blogsphere, but I can't get it in Ireland so the mission for a good 'dupe' began. Unsure if I can call any of the one's I have tried a dupe because I've never gotten to use Bioderma but I like what I have found so far.... After seeing Kate from DollyBowBow post a picture of this Garnier Miceller Cleansing Water, I headed off to Boots in search of it.

I've been using it for about a week now, and I think I like it best from all the one's I've tried. There's no scent, and it really does just feel like water on your skin which I like because I don't get on with cream or foaming cleanser's.

It's so big compared to any other I've seen too, it's a 400 ml bottle which equals to 200 uses according to Garnier. For around €6.99 I really think that this product is in the lead in the battle of the water cleansers.

Have you tried it?

The Dark Fantasy #issue2 - #IDGAFmagazine

As a self confessed book worm, music lover and fashion junkie it's hard to find something that brings all of these together and portrays it in a way that literally makes me go "oooh" out loud. Until now... Ladies and gentleman I give you #IDGAFissue2...

My style, and interests in general have we're born from my love of punk. Punk rock music, fashion and lifestyle was a big part of growing up. Since about the age of 13 I have been obsessed with the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, Iggy Pop, Sid Vicious, y'know the crew.. Fashion wise I look to the likes of Kurt Kobain, Courtney Love, Alexa Chung and Pixi Geldolf, as well as the Vivianne Westood style from the SEX day's. There is nothing more appealing than all black everything, pins, studs, leather and lace, and IDGAF has dedicated their entire second issue to this. I was lucky enough to get to see the issue before it's release date (tomorrow for you guys!!) it's been called 'The Dark Fantasy' and my God, I was impressed...



Here's a sneak peak of the cover of the magazine, and how awesome is it? It's grunge, yet urban and classy all at once! Perfection...

The writers got it spot on completely counteracting the usual pastel, floral and girly trends for Spring/Summer. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with those, I am fond of floral myself as you'll know from my last post here in Wonderland, but the darker outlook from the team at IDGAF  is so refreshing and so inspiring. Think punk meets sex meets fashion meets a little 50 shades of grey, sound like something you'd like it? There is also an injection of urban and street style just to mix thing's up, which played out so well.

Check them out on Twitter for more information on the release so you can read it!

Some amazing brands have been featured in the issue this time too, and I know that for me, I can't ait to see more of them. The models are to die for, the style is immense. It honestly has inspired me so much I can't wait to add a bit of goth style into my life. Amazing job.... 

I'm so excited for you guy's to see it!
It will be launched tomorrow  (Sunday!) at 7.30

Winter Florals

I love flowers. Therefore, I love floral print's. The issue I have is that I'm not very 'girly' so I opt for dark florals, aired with cosy knits instead. This is a little combination I put together and I really liked the outcome.

I like the cut of the dress, thin straps and very flowy. I think it's a piece I could wear all year around which is obviously great for my bank account.

I picked this dress up for €8 in New Look, and my purple knit cardigan was €16 from Pennys/Primark.

Trend Watch - Tartan

I like tartan, but I don't own anything with the print on it really. In fact, I'm still not sure about this dress, what do you all think? Yay or Nay?

I picked it up for three euros, so it didn't break the bank or anything. I just can't decide if I love it or hate it.
Tartan has been everywhere this winter, anyone who's anyone has either been talking about it or wearing it, so it's about time I jumped on the bandwagon I guess!

Now just to think about what shoes to wear.......

Shoe Porn

I'm gonna start this post of with saying, I am 5"2. I am teeny, tiny! So when it comes to shoe shopping, heels are what I gravitate towards because I like how they make my legs look that little bit longer, and I like the height too! The problem is, as much as I like heels I can't exactly walk in anything that's too high, especially if a few drinks are involved! Therefore, chunky heels are my shoes of choice. 

I managed to get these beauties in my size for 18 euro's in Penny's of all places... That's Primark to all you UK lovelies! When I saw them at first I thought, meh... and I put them on and it was a match made in heaven. 

I can't wait to style them ahhh!

#bbloggersWLW

Hey ladies,

I'm sharing another recipe this week with you curtsy of Operation Transformation. PIZZA! Who doesn't love pizza? It's a healthy alternative, and speaking from experience it is delicious. 

You will need:
- 1 wrap
- Mozarella
- Tomatoe Puree
- Toppings of choice (I picked peppers, chicken, bacon & red onion)

Step 1
Heat your wrap under the grill for about one minute, just to soften it and warm it up.

Step 2
Spread the tomatoe puree across the base of the 'pizza' and tear of mozzarella pieces and scatter them across the base.

Step 3
Add your toppings, spread them out evenly. I softened up my peppers and red onion on the pan with a little water first.

Step 4
Pop your pizza into the oven at 180 for about 20 minutes until the cheese has melted and the edges have turned up a little.

Enjoy! It really is yummy!

Leather Lovin'

Last weekend I went and done a little shopping with my Mum, and it was done very quickly because my baby brother joined us, and you can imagine how rushed we were!

I found this in Swamp, for less than 5 euro's and I was so happy! It's a high wasted, faux leather skater skirt and it's pleated. Can we just take a minute to admire how pretty this is? It may be love, ladies!

I've so many idea's as to how to style this, so keep an eye out for some outfit posts soon!
