Blogger Charity Shop Challenge with Enable Ireland

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all having a relaxing Sunday! :) It is officially 2 WEEKS until Christmas ahhh! Christmas is without a doubt my favourite time of the year. Plenty of eating (nothing new there), reuniting with friends, nights out, nights in watching some films and general all round festiveness!

TAN ERASER - Review

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all had a great weekend and are enjoying what is left of it. I headed out with my sister last night so I am delighted to be snuggled up on the sofa and catching up on some blog work. As a blogger I am very grateful to be sent numerous products and items to review and every so often, there will be a gem that I can't NOT tell you all about. (That is terrible phrasing but you get my drift!) I will only ever feature something that I think you guys will be interested in and also because it has genuinely worked for me and  - tonight that is the Tan Eraser! 

Christmas Party Dress Lookbook *

Hi Everyone,

Well done for making it half way through the week whoohoo! I am delighted to finally get this post live. I had a major crisis last week as I lost all of my original photos so it was a process trying to restore them again - technology definitely drives me crazy at times! Not to worry though because all is well again and I still have some hair left ;)

Indulgence yourself at...Indulgence Laser & Beauty Salon! *

Hi All,

Happy Monday! I don't know about anyone else but the weeks just seem to be FLYING in! Before we know it, Christmas will be over and the next thing will be summer again! Ok maybe that's a wee bit of an exaggeration but you get my point! ;) Today I am delighted to be back with a review of an establishment that is only relatively new to Riverside Retail Park Letterkenny - Indulgence Laser and Beauty. I was kindly invited in to try out one of their facials so read on if you want to find out how I got on :)

U Magazine Style School & Winning Best Dressed

Hi Everyone,

A few weeks back, I attended U Magazine's Style School. I had always wanted to attend and it just so happened I was in Dublin that day for an event with INSON FASHION AGENCY so everything tied in nicely. U is one of my favourite magazines to read and the fact it is Irish makes it even better. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Aisling on her new role as Editor, very well deserved! :)

INSON Fashion Agency - Meet The Designers Event

Hi Everyone,

Hope all is well. It feels great to be able to sit down and blog properly again. The past few weeks have been crazy but I am not complaining as I am always grateful for any opportunity that comes my way and I like to be on the go as it means I have lots of new material to produce for you all :) I was in Dublin a few weeks ago for 2 events and first up was the Black Carpet event with INSON Fashion Agency

BeYoux Boutique

Hi Everyone,

Happy Halloween! I hope you all had a great weekend and there are no sore heads today! ;) I loved receiving all of your costume and make-up selfies on snapchat and I posted them to my FACEBOOK page today so check them out and get tagging! :) 

Shapewear - Sculpting that figure! *

Hi Everyone! 

It is finally the bank holiday weekend! Does anyone have any exciting plans? I cannot wait to SLEEP as the past few days have been crazy so mine will be a pretty wild one as you can tell! 

Today I am covering a topic that is a little different but hopefully of interest now that we will soon be approaching Christmas Party Season and the LBD's will be re-surfacing from the wardrobe. I don't know about anyone else, but I find it re-assuring to know that everything is secure and there will be no lumps and bumps making dodgy appearances! In saying all of that, this post contains 20 different shape wear garments that will suck in the waist, lift the bum and hide all lumps and bumps (if you are lucky enough not to have them then......go away! I joke ;)

October Style Series

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all well and Happy Fridayyy! This is the first post of my 'Style Series' section and it will feature on the blog once a month. I will pick a highstreet store, style an outfit and hopefully you can take some inspiration from it. Styling is my number one passion so I hope you enjoy this new section as much as I love working on it! :)

My experience on Xpose

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all having a positive week. This is without a doubt one of my favourite posts I have written to date - my experience on Xpose, attending the Arnott's fashion and style event and the importance of going after what you really want in life. 

Fiorelli Autumn / Winter Collection *

Hi Everyone,

Happy Monday! Yesterday I was in a dress and sunglasses, today I am back in the warm, cosy clothes - the weather is extremely hormonal if you ask me! To bring a bit of variety, today's post is based on Jewellery! :) I was invited into Steven's Jewellers to check out the Fiorelli Autumn / Winter Collection and below you can find my favourite pieces. I am a big Jewellery fan and an avid supporter of the fact that it can instantly update an outfit. As much as I love the high street stores, sometimes it is nice to invest in something a little different that you know not many people will have. 

Meeting Sonya Lennon from Frock Advisor

Hi Everyone,

It's FRIDAY which means we have made it to the end of another week, well done! I had originally planned for this post to be live on Tuesday, but when I got the news about Xpose I had to run around like a headless chicken and get everything sorted. Better late than never as they say so here is the low down on attending Mc Elhinney's trend weekend where I had the privilege of meeting Sonya Lennon.

Mc Elhinneys Autumn / Winter Lookbook *

Hi everyone!

Hope all is well. I am very excited to be back with another lookbook. This post is based on a few pieces I styled from Promise Boutique located in Mc Elhinney's Department store, Ballybofey.

70's Fever

Hi Everyone!

Hope you are all having a lovely week. I am enjoying a day off today as the past week has been really busy. Today's post is based on what I wore last Saturday night - a 70's style jumpsuit from H&M

Payday Wishlist

Hi everyone! Happy Fridayyy :) I don't know about anyone else but the weeks just seem to be flying in! This is my first post of the new feature I have on my blog, a payday wishlist! This will be featured every 2 weeks on a Friday and I really hope you all enjoy it. As a disclaimer I hold no responsibility for any bankruptcy that may occur after browsing through the post haha!! Even though it is called a "wishlist" the majority of items featured will be highstreet fashion. If this sounds like something you are interested in then keep on scrolling :)

A day out at Zen Day Spa

Hi Everyone! :) Hope you are all having a good week so far and if not, just remember that tomorrow is Fridayyy! This week I was told I have been longlisted for 'Best Fashion Blog' in the Irish Blog Awards and I was honestly overwhelmed. I was beyond excited to be nominated for the awards and to have got through to the next stage is amazing and so humbling. I am listed amongst some of Ireland's biggest bloggers and if I make the short list I will let you all know, but if not I am honoured to have got this far. 

Floral Skater Dress - Saturday Night's Outfit Details

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had a nice weekend. I went out on Saturday night as one of the gal pals is leaving us for Dubai :( We all went to her house first where there was a marquee, the food and drinks were flowing (perhaps a little too much haha) and the craic was ninety!

River Island Autumn/Winter Lookbook

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had a lovely weekend. I was invited into River Island Letterkenny to have a sneak peek at their new Autumn/Winter Line and I compiled a look book of my 10 favourite pieces as I thought that was the best way to show you some of the stock. Honestly, I think this is their best season to date so I cannot wait to invest in a few of the pieces which are now available to buy online and in store.

Exposed Spray Tan Review

Hello galsss,

How was your weekend? I am sure there were a few sore heads on Monday ;) I was working so I decided to just sit in and being honest, I was glad I did. Last week I was invited into Beauty By Grainne's in Letterkenny to try out their new spray tan - Exposed, so if you want to find out how I got on then keep on reading :)

One Crotchet dress styled 3 different ways!

Hi Everyone! Hope you are all having a lurvely Sunday! :) I have done a post on this crotchet dress that I purchased in H&M, and I have shown you how to dress it in 3 different ways.

H&M HAUL

Hi Everyone! I decided to do a haul on the dresses that I have bought in H&M over the last few days. I posted them to my Facebook but thought this post would be ideal for you to see what they look like up close.  I will be photographing different looks with each dress when I get around to wearing them, but for now you can see if there is any that you like! :) 

PENNEY'S HAUL

Hi Everyone! Hope your Monday wasn't too painful. I finally got around to blogging my Penney's haul today. I picked up a few different pieces over the last few weeks, so I didn't feel as guilty as I would if I picked it all up in the one day haha! Hope you enjoy!

Neon Vibes

Hi Everyone ! Today's deet's is an outfit post based around my new shirt that I bought in Next. I was meant to do a look on this a while back when I first bought it, but I am only getting around to it now, but hey better late than never!

Red Lip & Nude Eye Make-up Look

Hi Everyone!

What an amazing day !! :) It is so good to finally see the sunshine. It makes me either want to go away on holiday, have a barbeque or go to a beer garden, anyone else feel the same? Today's post is based around my make-up look on Saturday night. I haven't really done a post like this before, so no time like the present!

Monochrome Love

Hi Everyone, happy Monday! How was your weekend? I had a girly night out on Saturday and it was so much fun. I had a collaboration with the lovely ladies at Get That Trend so I wore this Kim Kardashian inspired jumpsuit and white barely there sandal that I was kindly given. Monochrome is timeless so I loved it.

What I wore June Bank Holiday

Hi Guys! Only one more day until Friday!! Anyone got anything exciting planned? I think myself and a few of the girls are heading out so I am looking forward to that, any excuse to get glammed up! This post is based on what I wore last Saturday Night, my new crotchet bralet from New Look, Leather powder blue pencil skirt from River Island and Penney's heels. Naturally I didn't need to buy anything new, but once a shopaholic, always a shopaholic!

My Fashion Show

On Thursday 21^st May, I held my very own fashion show in the Radisson Blu Letterkenny. I couldn't believe the moment had actually arrived after months of planning and preparation. A lot of people said to me, “Do you realise what you are taking on?” “Are you sure you will be able to do it all on your own?” I was sceptical for sure, but had a feeling it would all work out and that it did.

L'oreal Lumi Magique Foundation Review

Hi Guysss! 

I can't believe it is nearly a month since I last blogged anything, I have been having serious withdrawal symptoms haha. In better news, I now have lots more free time on my hands, wifi in the house and a spring cleaned blog so that means lot more posts! :) I have been getting quite a few compliments on my L'oreal Lumi Magique foundation recently (which is always nice) so I thought I would do a review on it, and make it product of the week on my site!

H&M White Lace Pencil Skirt

Hey Everyone! 

Hope you are all enjoying the bank holiday! :) I am doing a quick outfit post on what I wore Saturday night before I head into work. I wasn't planning on going out, but low and behold I took the YOLO approach and it was such a fun night.

What I wore Saturday Night

 Morning Everyone! We are all back to the dreaded Monday again, where does the weekend go? On Saturday night I was out with some friends to celebrate one of them becoming a doctor and it was a great night.

This is a little bit different to the rest of the products I have reviewed and if you read on you will find out why.

Hi Guys !

How are you all doing? I have decided to do a brief post on the two outfits I was wearing Easter weekend, as a lot of you seemed to like them which is always a positive :) It was a reunion weekend with the girlies as we had not seen each other in ages and a catch up was well and truly overdue!

GlamGlow YouthMud

Hi Everyone! 

Hope you are all having a nice weekend. Do you like my new blog design? It took me YONKS to get it how I wanted it to look so I am delighted it is finished :) Today I am back with the third of my GlamGlow reviews, and up next is the Tingle Exfoliate Treatment! :) My skin doesn't know what has hit it the last few weeks with all this pampering! Haha.

How was everyone's weekend? I spent mine pampering myself with a few GlamGlow products that I was kindly given. I had heard so many brilliant things about the brand so I was definitely looking forward to seeing what the fuss was all about. I am going to kickstart the first review with the Supermud Clearing Treatment!

Jewellery Brands worth checking out!

Hi Everyone,

Today’s post is something a little different and a topic that I haven’t really covered, jewellery. I discovered a few new brands that I love, and thought why not share them with you all! 

March - floor outfit of the month !

Hi Everyone!

How is the dreaded Monday going? I am in a great mood as the sun is shining, I finished work early and I have a Costa fruit cooler to keep me company whilst blogging! :)

Welcome to the H&M family!

Hi Guys & Gals!

I have been really busy over the past few days, so I haven't had much time to be writing but today I am back in the swing of things! :) I thought I would start off the week by doing a quick outfit post on what I was wearing last Saturday night, and also give you all a little update on my life so to speak as I have now started a new job with H&M! :)

 

Dress To Impress! *

Hi Gurlies! :) 

We have arrived to the dreaded Monday already, where does the weekend go?! I am currently blogging this post in Costa whilst having a berry fruit cooler (seriously so good) before I head off to start my new job eeeek! 

This post will be a bit of a treat for you all as it features lots of stunning outfits from Pure Occasional Wear in Letterkenny, and also Wisteria Headpieces. Whether you have a day at the races coming up, a communion, confirmation etc you are sure to find a knock out piece, and below you will see a selection of dresses and hats that both shops have to offer.

Having visited Pure only a few days ago, they have an amazing selection of long dresses and also cater for Bridesmaids. I had my eye on a baby pink one, but unfortunately don't think I would have anywhere to wear it :( haha.

If anyone has any enquiries on either the dresses or headpieces, both Facebook pages are linked below with contact details - just copy and paste! :) 

PURE: https://www.facebook.com/pureboutiquelk?fref=ts

WISTERIA HEADPIECES: https://www.facebook.com/wisteriaheadpieces?ref=ts&fref=ts

This was the dress that I featured on my Facebook as a little preview of the post, it was hard to only pick one! 

Dress : €69.95

Black, white and red is a combo 

that you can never go wrong with!

Dress: €65

Dress: €59.95

I think this is definitely my favourite look!

The royal blue and mustard compliment each other really well

and it is a dress that would be suitable for any special occasion

Dress: €99 and it is also available in Red.

Another Favourite, this is very Victoria Beckham don't you think? 

Dress €59.95

Dress : €65. 

The headpiece brings out the pop of colour in the dress which really sets it off

Some Red Carpet Glamour! 

I love love love (have I said that already?!) this Chanel inspired outfit - it is a look that will never date and is so chic. 

Jacket : €70 & Dress: €89.95

Lady in Red ;) This little number is €145 & would also look fab with a black headpiece. 

This colour of dress actually suits a lot of skin tones and hair colours when paired with the right headpiece and accessories. I love the design of it and think it is something you could even get away with on a night out, sure why not! :)

 Dress: €175

There is no excuse for anyone not to have a fabulous outfit now for any event they may have coming up ;) I need to head on as I have only six seconds of free wifi left!!!

All my love,

Emma
