My Current Wishlist!

Hey y'all, so now that we're suddenly thrown into 2015, there are soo many things I want to go out and buy! I always find that when it gets cold out, I want to pack away all the pretty clothes, and turn to anything warm and comfy I can find in the back of my wardrobe, so I decided to make myself a shopping list of sorts! 

I've only gone and found hundreds of cute things that I 'need'! So I made a little list of some super adorable pieces that I couldn't resist; I'll be begging my Mum to buy me some of these pieces for birthday without a doubt!

The first thing I've fallen in love with is this 'Monochrome Check' Blanket Wrap from New Look! I know I'm probably a little behind on this trend, but I tried one on for the first time the other day, and they are one of the most comfortable things ever! I love that they can completely dress up or down an outfit, so this'll be something I'm going to pick up in the near future without a doubt. Plus, it's only €17.99 in New Look at the moment.

The second is another blanket wrap, I know, it's ridiculous! But this is the Aztec Hooded Blanket Wrap! IT HAS A HOOD GUYS! I'm in love right now, and it is currently number one on my birthday list! It's €29.99 in New Look, so not the cheapest, but it's so beautiful it's worth it!

Now, next is something that I'm probably going to be waiting a long time to get, because it is very expensive! These are some of the original 'Serena' Dr. Martens. Thy are the meaning of the word classic, and I've been lusting after a pair for a long time now, so I think it's about time I start saving for them! hey are about €140 though, so I may be a while!

I have one beauty product that I feel like it's really time I bought, and that is my first MAC lipstick! It's been a long time coming if I'm honest, so I'm 110% ready to go out and buy one right now! But, seeing as I can't do that, here's the one I soo desperately want - it's MAC 'The Matte' Lipstick in the shade Heroine! I am a huge fan of dark berry shades, so this is hopefully going to be my next purchase!   €19.50 will be saved very soon, and I will let y'all know how much  love it then!


That's it for now you guys, I hope you enjoyed that! I can not wait for exams to end so I can be back into the swing of blogging properly; I miss y'all!
Let me kno if here's anything you'd like to see here in the future, down in the comments!

Hair (Accessories) Haul

This title sounds a lot creepier written down than it did in my head... oops! I promise that I have not spent days collecting peoples hair *shudder*. To be fair I should have named it 'Hair Accessories Haul', but sure you win some, you lose some!

I'd just like to say that this is a collective haul, along with the rest of the hauls I'm putting up! I definitely didn't pick it all up in one crazy shopping trip! So I still haven't worked out how to store all of these just yet, so they're still in a lil River Island bag on my desk! 

So now, take a look at this fancy little arty shot I made... yeah feast your eyes on this! Isn't she a beauty? Ok I'm done now... sorry!

  

Ok, you're welcome! Now here's the little bits I bought for my hair over the summer! 

(In another fancy collage... I know!)

1. Up first, is my new scrunchies. I'm still  not 100% sure whether or not I'll wear these too often, but I do think they're very cute, and they'll come out every once in a while!

The first is a mint and navy polka dot scrunchie from River Island and was €6, quite steep for a scrunchie. but I couldn't resist it! 

The second is a multi-colour almost paint splatter scrunchie. It cost me €3 on sale in New Look - half price, so really it was begging me to buy it!

2. Next up is my new love! I have fallen completely head over heels with bun garlands. I don't know why, but they are so so adorable, and can dress up the simplest outfits!

The white/cream and dark blue/black ones above I bought in Penneys, and are definitely my favourite, as they are completely surrounded by flowers, leaving no gaps! They only cost €2.50.

The mint green one was bought in New Look for €3.99, I think it's beautiful because I love the colour, but I wish it was completely surrounded by flowers.

And the last one - the pink daisies - is the first bun garland I bought; I picked it up in River Island for €6. It's super cute and I love the baby pink colour. 

3. Next is my super cute hair bow. It's actually quite big, and has a lovely watermelon print on a black background! It was only €3 in New Look (I think?). It was definitely worth it though, as it makes pulling back your hair a lot cuter than just bobby pins. 

4. Lastly are my headbands; I've only recently gotten into these, as I've started to try and wear my hair down more often, so these dress it up a bit.

First is a simple navy/black rose design I got in Penneys for €2.50 - personally my favourite.

The next is a twisted bead design, which actually looks lovely when your hair is in a loose bun. This is from New Look and was only €3.99.

And the last one is a sort of tribal beaded design, I haven't worn this much, but it is simply adorable! It was only €2.99 in New Look as well!

So thoses are all the little hair bits I've gone crazy over recently! I rarely buy any 'cute' hair accessories, as I used to wear my hair pulled back a lot! Now that it's a quite a bit longer, I'm excited to wear all these a bit more!

I hope you enjoyed this, and I'm so happy to be back blogging! Leave a comment if there's anything you want to know!

#BackToCollege Clothing Haul -Penneys

I've just headed back to the good old college life, and I decided it'd be fun to do a little bit of shopping for it! I realised after photographing all my new clothes, that I seem to have bought a thousand tops, and absolutely no bottoms. That is not the case though, they are on the way!

Here's all the little things I bought in Penneys; hope you enjoy all these lil bits!

First up is a plain black ribbed crop top. I'm probably going to wear this under some of the chiffon shirts I have, simply because I find it is just a little bit too short to wear uncovered. I think it'll pair with almost anything because it's so simple and understated.

 I got this in Penneys for €1, so I really couldn't say no when I saw it!

The second one up there, is a white chiffon shirt, I absolutely adore the pattern on this shirt; a simple black daisy print all over. I personally find that it's perfect for dressing up a pair of jeans just a little bit, so you don't have to try too hard, but still look like you tried. 

This beauty was on sale for only €7 in Penneys.

This little top in the middle, is a beautiful shade of mint green, and the perfect length for a crop top. It's just the right length to be able to tuck into any high-waisted skirt or shorts, but also looks adorable left untucked for a slightly flowier look. 

This was again on sale for only €1 in Penneys. 

No. 4 up above is a beautiful (although slightly see-through) floral print on the front, and plain white on the back. I love wearing it with a simple black or denim skater skirt; as it's quite a detailed print, it's nice to pair it with something a bit simpler.

This was only €3 in Penneys. 

And last, is one of my favourite tops I've bought! It's actually a 'muscle tank', meaning there is almost no sides to the top; now I didn't realise this before I bought it, but it looks super cute with a bandeau or bralette underneath. Also the saying 'I'd rather be in L.A.' - a girl can dream right? 

So these are just the little bits I grabbed in Penneys before college, but I have quite a lot of clothes from other shops around Ireland! I'm soo excited to get those out as well, because some of the things are just soo cute!

Hope you enjoyed this, and can't wait for the next one (too much?).

The Summer Summaries - Wexford part 2

Yayyy, here's another of my little adventures from Wexford this summer! This one's a bit of a cheat, but I hope y'all enjoy it anyway.
While in Co. Wexford during the summer, my family and I took a short trip across to Dunmore East in Waterford. It's not a long journey, only an hour or so, with a short trip on the ferry. Dunmore East is an absolutely stunning little place along the coast, with the sweetest views.

We weren't there for long, only a few hours; but we had the opportunity to visit some of my family who were there on holiday for a week. Hopefully these pictures do the area of Dunmore East some justice. So here they are:

Thank y'all so much for reading this! Also, I'd just like to say sorry that these posts are quite picture heavy! I hope you don't mind too much though!
Lemme know if there's anything in particular you'd like to see on here!

Look who's back!

Honey, I'm home!

Wow... I've been gone for quite a while! I've missed y'all! 

I suppose life got in the way a bit... My college loves to really get in the way and give us a few hundred assignments (ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit), as well as exams when it comes to the end of the term (Thanks college)!

But it's all over now, and I've had some (well needed) time to recover, and I honestly can't wait to get back into this!

I've built myself a schedule and I am soo excited to plan loads more posts to get up on here! I have sooo many ideas already! I've made it my aim to do a lot more posts on just my life, as well as reviews, tutorials, ootd's and some tag videos! 

I figure there's no better time than summer time to really get back into the swing of things, especially after missing so much! (Hello #BloggersDoDublin (Check out Cat's post on it here, she did an amazing job organising it!)  What?? I am so jealous of all of you who got to go to such an amazing event!)

So hopefully y'all will stumble along this slightly rocky road with me, and seee where we end up! 

P.S. Alll of my social media links are in my first post, and the 'contact me' tab! *clickity click now*

My March Favourites!

So I have been loving an awful lot of things in the month of March, but I haven't really found any new beauty products I'm in love with! But I managed to choose five 'things' I'd love your beautiful eyes to see!  This was a lot harder than I thought it would be though, seemingly I love an awful lot of things!

#1. The Gym:  In February I started going to my college's gym because it's free for students! I've always been kind of scared to use it because I felt like people were going to stare and judge, because I am in no way fit and I definitely don't have a stereotypical gym body! But I faced my fears and went (with my friends, not alone), and it was actually fun; extremely hard work at times, but fun! I have a feeling it's going to start to become a thing now... but it's a good thing! Healthy = Happy!  Don't forget it's not about your body shape or size, it's about being healthy; because I seem to forget that a lot! The fact that you're trying is all that matters at the gym!

#2. Penneys' (Primarks) Range Of Fitness Clothing: Speaking of exercise... Before I got into it a little bit more, I didn't really have any clothes that were gym worthy! And not knowing if I was going to stick with it, I didn't want to spend too much money on gym clothes! I was browsing Penneys one day and saw a beautiful fitness section! These clothes are honestly the most comfortable of my gym wear and amazing quality for their price! (Running Top: 7.00; Exercise leggings: 8.00)

#3. Smoothies: For the last few weeks I have been absolutely loving smoothies! They are so versatile, and so easy to make! I love getting up in the morning, throwing fruit into a blender, and having a smoothie in two minutes! I can't decide which kind I like the most though...; maybe I'll do a 'how-to' post on my all time favourites! What makes this even better, is that I just bought a new blender for making my smoothies in! I am so excited to try it and see how it lives up to the old one; I'll keep you updated!

#4. Glass Storage Jars: These are my two favourite jars at the moment! I have an obsession with storage tins and jars, and these are so cute! I got them in a shop called 'Carraig Donn' which we have here in Ireland! They're actually meant to be halloween jars, but for €3.50 I didn't care at all!
Not only do I love the actual jar though, I also love what I am keeping in them! First I have Penneys' facial cleansing pads, and honestly they're soo handy to have! I love using them to take off my make up, and they're quite cheap for how well they work!
In the second jar I decided to keep sherbert sticks that I got in Dealz for €1.49, because it was empty, and they honestly look the cutest! And I now have a lil snack if I ever feel like a pick me up during the day!

#5. Cloud10Beauty.com:  So this website is one of my personal favourites, I've bought many many things from there and I absolutely adore them all! The prices are really good, and they are always very speedy with their deliveries; I've never had to wait more than 4 working days for mine! They have such an amazing selection of products, that I literally can't go on without adding something to my basket! They also have quite a large of Irish products, which I adore, because I can buy amazing products while supporting Irish brands. If you don't know cloud10beauty.com yet... what? Get yourself over there now! I can't wait to share my latest haul from them with you!

It's April??

Can I please put out in the open how I am not ready for it to be April yet? Seeing as March is over now, April is going to be a whole new adventure (spent studying for exams), and I can't wait! 

I've realised in the last two weeks, that this blogging thing is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be! I always had soo much free time up until now, but suddenly it's all gone! 

I have at least 5 half-written post waiting to be finished so I can upload them! Please everyone tell me how you find the time to fit blogging into your everyday life! 

To be honest I wouldn't be able to post today if my class hadn't been cut short and given me an extra hour free.  I love that I've found something I enjoy doing, and that I've got a chance to finally express all this make-up love as well as talk all about my little boring life! 

Its just become clear to me how much I honestly love writing blog posts when I can take time to sit down and really think what I want to say... but I also love spontaneous blog posts like this, where I can just write(rant) about my life for a little while!

In more exciting news... I may or may not have just ordered quite a spectacular package from Cloud10Beauty.com (I did); it should be here very soon and then I get to try out everything and do a lil review on some of my new thangs! I haven't been this excited in quite a while 

It's been lovely darlings... but I do have another class now!

My Fail Of A Study Week?

If you go back 2(?) posts, you'll see that I had a little study week last week! I also made soooo many plans for this week! Of which almost none happened! I had a feeling this would happen... of course my idea of motivation was procrastinating by writing a blog post on it! I had 3 little things I wanted to do:

1) Complete some of the work I have to do for college in the upcoming weeks

2) Take a trip down to the gym at least once so I don't go a week without, and workout at home on other days!

3) Finally organise my room so it's ready for when I have people over!


Well... looking back at them, I suppose I technically did everything I wanted to do... just in smaller amounts than were needed!


1) I did some work... I finished one lot of homework? And then put off the two assignments I now have due for next week! But.. I have started them now, so maybe this isn't too bad, because I know that I'm now on such a time limit! Here's to pure luck y'all...


2) The gym... Well I have to say that the gym honestly didn't happen!  But I did go for a walk one day.. that counts doesn't it? I also went shopping... and that involved a lot of walking, and carrying bags! I totally didn't do too bad at this one!


3) Now this one I really did try at! But you know when you don't have enough time in a day to finish something? Yeah.. that may have happened!
My room does this thing where it gets a lot worse before it gets better, so I spent a good 5/6 hours trying to completely re-do my room! It's not too bad at the moment if I'm honest... I'm quite proud of my work, even if it's not perfect just yet !


So maybe this week wasn't quite as much of a fail as I thought! Even though I didn't do everything I had planned properly... but I did have a good time, and I suppose that is one of the most important things right? 


I suppose I'd better be off now and do all that college work yeah? Alright...
