Sunday Morning

This is how I spent my Sunday morning. In bed, relaxing and reading the October issue of Vogue. 

Winter Wardrobe

Here are some of my purchases from September. I was getting ready for the big chill.....and what happens? we get 'an Indian Summer'. The other day was 26 degrees celsius, hottest day of the year so far!! Just when the leaves have started to turn golden and start to litter the paths, we in Ireland, experienced a delayed summer. Odd. It quickly returned to typical Irish weather though, lashing rain for the past two days, and I'm not complaining. I don't enjoy seasonally confused weather!

I love love love fur in the winter time! Of course I  would never buy real fur, the fake stuff is so good these days there is absolutly no need. And I strongly disagree with mink farming and any animals being killed for their fur. It's disgusting.

Saying that, I do have two beautiful mink coats that belonged to my Granny and they were given to me. It's a dilemma because I could never throw them away, I never got to meet my Granny and they mean a lot to me but I almost feel guilty thinking about wearing them.

On one hand the coats have been around since the 1940's, there is nothing I can do to save those animals, they've been dead a long time....but then am I a hypocrite if I wear them?

What do you guys think?

imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

Louise Roe has amazing style. I first heard about her on MTV's The City. She's so put together and elegant. When I saw this outfit she wore to the 2011 MTV movie awards, I realised I have similar items in my wardrobe. She inspired me to put this red dress I've had for about 3 years with my leopard boots I got last year. I would never have thought of pairing these together before but I think they look great.

Boots - Asos

Dress - Awear

Bag a Bargain or Pay a Pretty Penny

Two similar bags, a world of difference in the price! I know which one I'm getting......

Kimchi blue two tone satchel from urban outfitters 63euro

got my new shoes on

I went shopping on Saturday with my best pal and brought home these beauties from New Look of all places! Rarely do I shop there but I adore them and are exactly what I've been looking for, they are similar to a pair I wanted to get last year from ASOS but half the price at 39.99 euro. And when I just went on the website to get the picture for this blog post, I see that they are now on sale for £19.99 which would be about 25.00 euro. Great news for you but bad for me as I forked out the full price. But I love them so much I don't mind. They are incredibly comfortable and will go with everything in my winter wardrobe. Happy!!

Diane Kruger wearing a stunning Chanel Haute Couture piece from the AW 2011 show. Absolutely beautiful on her! The black and white dress really stands out on the red carpet. Although it is classic Chanelesque dress, Diane's casual braided hair and strappy Jimmy Choo's give the look a modern edge.



Holidays

I'm off on my holidays tomorrow for the next two weeks to Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt. I'm so excited, hopefully I'm going to take lots of pretty photos to show you. Really looking forward to seeing the ancient pyramids and going on a trip down the Nile. As well as plenty of sunbathing and drinking cocktails!
