Summer Haul

Hey lovelies, I've recently done some much needed shopping. As its sale season it doesn't hurt so bad, and I've picked up some amazing designer gems! First off are these two amazing dresses by  Aussie designer Rachel Gilbert who is best known for her gorgeous red carpet gowns, with celebs such as Pippa O'Connor to name a few. I purchased both pieces from The Ivory Closet a rental & dress hire Boutique in Limerick as they were having their seasonal closet clearance. I was very lucky to snag them at a generously discounted price as they are Brand New!. I cant wait to wear the sliver Milly dress on a night out with the girls very soon.




I'm really in to statement jewelry these days so like a born magpie my eyes did a double take when I spotted this gorgeous green necklace (above) it reminds me of some of the costume jewelry worn on TV series The Tutors.


Just two weeks ago I took my first Holiday away from home to England ( crazy I know) to visit family for a special occasion. Not one for baring too much skin on our rare sunny days in Ireland ( I burn like a peach) 
I decided to go out of my comfort zone and purchase a bikini. I found this pretty coral set at River Island online and had it in my cart for ages before I toke the plunge. It is very comfortable piece but at 35 euro eeekk I wont be buying again that said when the bikini top is under water the 3D poppy's blossom and give a beautiful under water sea effect. The only down side that I find with every RL purchase is they never last to long especially after the first wash. :( 



Of course it was just my luck that the BT sales AKA Brown Thomas began the same day I was due to leave for London, but throwing caution to the wind I ventured up to Galway city super early in the morning to get in before the rush. I found two lovey piece from the young trendy brand Alice + Olivia. 

I love the cute floral print of this first piece with the lilac over lay with burst of neon yellow, burnt orange and pretty blues flowers, personally I'm not a big fan of floral's but this really toke my eye, its very flattery on and nips you in at the waist.
           Yesss I have finally caved and bought something on trend ...I know I'm super late but I so adore this white body con peplum dress its just so sexy & flirty and hides any lumps and bumps.

Lastly I am now the proud new owner if my very own Micheal Kors Bag! any one in the fashion world  including the galway gals are aware that these bags are coveted. After stalking the Spring /Summer collection since September its about time I got my hands on one, the RRP 250 but as there was 40% off during this day is was reduce so I was happy out.
Like every women it is always (extremely) difficult to find the Right pair of jeans to flatter your shape and lift does buns. I find what when it comes to jeans it is usually better to invest in a pair you will get wear out of then the cheapies in Primark / Pennys as there an essential for everyday after years of searching in my teens I know what suits me and these pale pink pretty high waist J brand jeans work wonders.
