Weekend Casual

Hey Lovelies, 

Whenever I'm running errands, I don't actually dress up that much. I love throwing on trousers, a simple tank top and a jacket for a casual day time look, that's classic and chic. With the weather being all over the place at the moment, I'm trying to get the last few wears out of my Winter clothes, before I put them into storage for next year. I bought this jacket before Christmas, and absolutely adore it. I just wish I had perhaps bought it in the grey colour, instead of the Burgundy. Don't get me wrong I love the jacket, but on a practicality level it's not the most wearable colour, all year round.Anyway! Last weekend I wore the jacket over a plain basic black tank top, and my khaki jeggings, a simple bar of pumps, and an oversized bag. This look feels like my uniform at the moment! 

Jacket:River Island, Jeggings:Dunnes Stores, Bag:Fran&Jane, Sunglasses:Penney's/Primark 

It's a really easy look to throw together, so it' a perfect weekend look. I'm still really loving the leather sleeve trend, and hoping in stays next years, as I've a lot of jackets from this year with leather sleeves, that I'd like the option of wearing again next year!

Sunday Summary #8

Hey Lovelies,

It's been a while since I've done a Sunday Summary, so I thought I'd try get back into the swing of things! As y'all know I'm incredibly nosey, and love reading these posts, as well as writing them! Things haven't been incredibly exciting lately but I thought I'd check in with you all. How lovely has today been? It's put me in a great mood! 

• I've been working a lot as always, so really looking forward to my week in London at the start of June. It's great getting out of your daily routine, to break up the mundaneness of everything!
• This week was especially busy meeting up with friends, going for lunches and dinner's so it was nice in the respect, always nice catching up with the girls. 
• I've been working two late nights a week now, so it's incredibly hard to blog, and keep everything updated, but I have a few posts in my drafts box, so I'll have a few posts for y'all this week. 
• On Wednesday evening, I headed to the Morgan Penthouse for a Think House PR Event. I had an amazing evening, and learnt about amazing new products,and I can't wait to tell you about them! 
• I had a pretty easy weekend, with feeling a bit sickly on Saturday, but then went for Wagamama's and had a look around the shops, and picked up a few bits and bobs of course! (Haul coming very soon!)
• Tonight I'm finishing up my CurvaceousINC column and then heading for chinese and a movie with some of the girls, a perfect Sunday! The Weather has been so nice today, I was lucky to get an hour in the garden after work, to just chill, catch up on emails and to read this Month's Cosmo mag! 

Anyway hope you all have a great week! :)

Coco Mademoiselle Dupe

I've had a love for Coco Mademoiselle, ever since I was a teen. It's a gorgeous scent, really romantic and feminine. Unfortunately at around €70 it 'aint cheap. I for one, have at least three perfumes on the go at one time, and they're all around the €70 mark, so I try to alternate them, so they last longer, if that makes sense? With perfume being something I wear daily, and spritz on numerous times a day, I'm always looking for deals, and discounts. When El of A Thrift Mrs, blogged about a Coco Mademoiselle dupe, I was very intrigued. I love a good dupe, and ever since I was introcued to the Mua Palette, I've had my ears and ears open on the hunt for more. The Mua "Undressed" palette is a dead ringer for the Urban Decay palette, but only costs about €7 opposed to €40. Not only is it mega cheap, but the quality, longevity and colours are extremely similar, if not on par. 

So after reading El's recommendation I was dead set on trying to get the one she recommended. I don't do the food shop with me mam, so I'm rarely in Lidl, and truth be told I forgot about it. That is until the other night, when me and my friend Lynne popped in to get their amazing Chilli flavoured Nancho's (try them!) It was only then I remembered and ran to the beauty isle, and low and behold it was there!I grabbed it and ran to the till, dying to test out! At first smiff, I couldn't believe how similar it smelt to the Cult brand that is Chanel. For an unbelievable €3.99, you definitely can't beat it. Now the bottle is nothing special, but doesn't look as cheap as it is either. 

I personally can't get over how much I love this perfume. Granted I've only had it for a few days, but It's all I've been using, and the best part is, I don't even feel guilty spraying loads on! The scent does linger for a few hours, but I always spray it numerous times throughout the day. It's the perfect perfume for your handbag. It would also be perfect for using at work or on a night out, as you won't be too upset if you drop it or loose it. I'd recommend this perfume to everyone! A lot of people can be makeup snobs, and refuse to wear something that isn't a known brand, but being honest it's their loss! I know I'd much rather save over €60 and splash out on something else! 

Would you guys try "Suddenly Madame Glamour"?

Casual

Hey Lovelies,

Sorry for my delay in posting recently. Life get's in the way! I try to update this space as much as I can! It's my little baby after all :) Last month I ordered this over-sized dress from Asos. Y'all know me, anything over-sized and I'm sucked in! Now when I got it, it was a little too over-sized for my liking. It just kinda look like a tent on me, and not a cool one! I wanted to cinch it in a bit, so I added a belt, and just wore it off the shoulder.

It's an incredibly easy outfit to wear. I personally love the off the shoulder look, as it's a little bit sexy, without being too much. I kept my outfit simple and relaxed by adding a bowler hat, and wedges runners - which by the way are like walking on clouds! I added the belt to make this dress a little less over-sized and to show off my waist. And with a slick of red lippy I was ready to go!

Dress:Asos, Belt:Fran&Jane,Hat:Topshop, Wedge Runners:Aldo, Sunglasses:Penney's/Primark
