My top 5 picks - Warehouse

I am loving this AW13 range from Warehouse stores. The leather jackets alone are a huge investment. They are classic wardrobe must have's and they are very versatile. I also love the fact they can be worn by different age groups depending on the styles. The more simpler tailored styles work very well for mature women and the more studded edgier styles work well for younger women.

                                                    Every woman needs a party dress!

This dress is incredible. The colour, cut and length work very well together. It would look flattering on a curvy or slender woman. The paneling gives an illusion of curves and for the already curvy women it would cinch in the waist and skim over the hips without looking frumpy.

Embellished Cuff_€18_Warehouse AW13

 

You can never go wrong with a jumpsuit. They are easy to style and they would be perfect for someone who is always on the go but loves to look stylish. This particular one could be worn with a diamanté waist belt, the embellished cuff pictured above and very high sparkly heels.

DIY Xmas Jumper

So, I was invited to the Contributor's Xmas Party for the Cork Independent newspaper. The invitation was strictly Christmas Jumpers. I knew straight away that I wanted to make my own design as it was my first time actually wearing a Christmas Jumper.

Here's what I used:

I used a jumper that I recently bought from New Look. 

The tinsel was €1 from Penneys and the bow came in a pack of three for €1 from Guineys.

To keep the tinsel attached to the jumper, I used the small wire that held the other two bows that I didn't use. There are plenty more options if you don't want to use the same as me. You could use sparkly ribbons and leave the ends hanging to add more festive cheer to your jumper. Simple as that!

Get Creative :)

Brown Thomas Cork - Discount Night

This was a very random night for my friends and I. We had originally planned to just go for a meal and it ended up turning into a Christmas shopping spree. There was up to 20% off from most items at the beauty and clothing department. The home-ware had up to 10% off and it was incredible.

There was a great atmosphere as it wasn't too busy, therefore we could all take our time and browse through the rails without any pressure. There was also a drinks reception, which was unexpected but very inviting. This event stayed opened until 9pm.

I'm glad that I got the time to browse through the shoe emporium, which is my favourite part of the whole store and I absolutely fell in love with the red Ted Baker coat above. Perfect for the Christmas season.

This is going on my list and I am so excited for Christmas!!!

RSVP Magazine Feature

This was my first time being featured in RSVP and I am even more excited that it was with my boyfriend. The photos were taken on the night of the Style Blogger Competition, where I was nominated as a Top 30 Finalist.

In order to be nominated, I had to write 300-500 words about my favourite A/W 2013 trend. I chose Statement Necklaces, as I am obsessed with them! Luckily enough, I was chosen as 1 of the 30 bloggers and my article was featured on RSVP's website, Facebook and Twitter pages. You can still read it on the link below.

After all 30 bloggers were chosen, we each had to get people to vote for us through the RSVP Magazine website. The two final prizes were Style Blogger 2013 and Style Blogger 2013 voted by the public. I did not win any of the titles but I am so proud of myself for getting as far as I did in the competition.

I met some amazing bloggers and it was such a brilliant night!

This competition was a collaboration between RSVP Magazine and OASIS Stores Ireland.
