Rose Gold

It's short & sweet today, but I just anted to show you something that I have been loving these last few weeks. I am a big fan of chunky gold chains anyway, so when I spotted one in rose gold it had to join my little family. I picked this up in Claire's a while back, I think it around €7 but don't quote me on that!

It's a very simple piece but I think because it's rose gold it's quite versatile, I feel you can wear it with mixed metals and it's still pretty stylish. I love the statement it makes too, I love wearing this with really simple tops to make it pop, and with collars too as I think it sits really well.

What do you think?

Girl Crushin'

This is a new kind of post for me, although I don't know why I never have done it before. Instagram and Twitter are always full of people's inspiration, and girl crushes, style idol etc. So today I thought I would share one of, if not, my biggest style crush. Alexa Chung.

I absolutley love Alexa's style, everything from her hair to those cheek bone's. She always looks flawless, and she has an edgy, tomboy yet cool style that I love and that I can very much relate too. She's not afraid to mix staple items like a plain grey tee with more 'out there' items and when she wear's a red lip she really rock it! Have you read her book? It's fabulous!

Could she be a wildflower?

I love love love this jacket. It's from Penny's/Primark

I saw Milly wearing it ages ago, and it confirmed to me that I had to have it.

I'd been eyeing it up for a while before hand but was unsure as to how I would wear it, but when I went to actually buy it it had been reduced down to €9! Talk about faith...

It's colourful, floral but yet smart and it's the type of jacket you can dress up, or dress down depending on what take's your fancy. I love pieces that are versatile like this and now I want more. Isn't that always the way?

I plan to do some OOTD's soon, it's just a bit hard to get nice picture's this time of year, did I mention it snowed this week?

Anyway, maybe I should keep the floral's for Spring!

Wet'N'Wild comes to Ireland

YES - you read that title correct. 

After years of seeing Wet'N'Wild product raves and reviews over YouTube and across blogs they have finally decided to come to Ireland!

They landed in Dunne's Store's a few week's ago, and myself and Aislinn literally screamed when we saw they had been stocked up.

First thing I picked up? Lipsticks obviously......

I picked up four colours, and my most loved is the dark red/purple called 'Cherry Blossom', apparently it's a great dupe for MAC's Diva (Can anyone confirm?) either way, I love it. I love dark lipstick so much so it was kind of obvious that this would be a fave!

The others I picked up we're 'Mauve Outta Here' 'Think Pink' and 'Just Peachy'.

The lipsticks themselves are really nice on consistency, they are quite creamy and long lasting for a lipstick that is only €3.99 you can't really go wrong!

I'm excited to try more from the range, I have my eye on the blushes next......

Have you tried anything from Wet'N'Wild?

Cocoa Brown*

Been born in the emerald isle mean's been born extremely pale, and with no proper Summer this mean's no chance of gaining a natural tan. There's nothing wrong with been pale, don't get me wrong, but I like having a glow, it makes me feel better. 

I won some Cocoa Brown tan on Twitter a few week's back and I wanted to show you all what I got. I received a little pink package with some mousse tan, a hot pink mitt and a gorgeous iPhone cover. How cute?

If you don't already know, Cocoa Brown is a tan created by Marissa Carter (she's kind of an idol of mine), it's an Irish product and I think it's awesome! The Cocoa Brown team are fabulous too, special shoutout to Stephanie who sorted me out with these goodies!

I'm gonna update you guy's when I get to use this with what I think of the colour, development, lasting power etc so I'll be back with that soon!

#bbloggersWLW

I missed this last week, in fact I didn't post here at all last week, that was due to a horrible flu and just a really bad week in general. If you follow me on Twitter you'll have seen me ranting! However, even with a crappy week, and a diet that was non existent I managed to loose a pound! I wasn't expecting it, so it was a nice surprise and it helped me be a bit better motivated this week. 

This week I have found a love for Earl Grey tea, I find it sweet and filling so I have been drinking it in work a lot. I don't like milk with it either so it's been helping to reduce my dairy intake. Excessive use of dairy products in my diet make's me feel horrible and bloated, but I love cheese so it's a constant battle!

I haven't really discovered anything new this week, or tried anything crazy, just been settling back into the swing of thing's. I've been walking Ecko (our puppy...) in the snow this morning so that was cute! Yes, I said snow, yes, it's February.. Mother nature is on one.

How are all you lady's doing?
