Green Velvet

Howdy folks!

Hope you're all enjoying the sunshine, though it'll probably be raining again by the time I've finished this post! I hope you all like green because this post is very. This is part 2 of my St Patrick's Day celebrations. Here's what I wore for the evening drinks with my cousins.

My green velvet dress is from Romwe. Unfortunately it's all sold out on their website, but they have hundreds of other pretty dresses to choose from. My tortoise shell sunnies are from Spitalfields Market.

The best thing about this dress, apart from the super soft velvet touch, is the sweet bow detail and open back. So very girly and totally me!

Check out this little guy lounging around in my Aunty's garden. How cute!

This week I was approached by Relay Rides to share my road trip essentials. Relay Rides is a peer-to-peer car rental service, so whether you're looking for a car to rent or fancy making some dosh by hiring out your own car, this is the site for you! As festival season is upon us, I decided to make a Spotify playlist of my top tracks for when you're on the road. Get ready for lots of acoustic guitars and singalong classics.



Spotify don't do The Beatles, which sucks but did make compiling the list a little easier, so Ike and Tina's rendition of 'Get Back' will have to do. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for reading!

Mon Plaisir

Ah Bonjour!

I hope you've all had a refreshing weekend, despite the weather. I was working (BOO!). So that's why I was a little quiet on the blog front, I mean I do work 7 days a week, but the weekends I'm always extra tired from having to wake up so early (hello 5am!) and then trying to have a social life after an 8 hour shift of standing on my feet serving some pretty grumpy customers. Oh well, that's life! It's Monday, and I'm back with a new outfit post, featuring yet more tartan.

This is from a week or two ago. Me and my housemate Elie went for a little wander around Covent Garden. We checked out the pop-up forest they had at the Seven Dials, took in some art at the National Portrait Gallery and then dined at a posh French restaurant - Yum!

This tartan skirt I bought from a second hand shop in Donegal town when I was visiting family in Ireland in August. It was only 2Euro and is a lovely warm felt material. I've teamed it with a cream chiffon boho top from Topshop, light lilac cardigan and my new favourite black buckled shoes from New Look.

This was my favourite painting at the NPG. We're so used to seeing paintings of members of the Royal family looking so official, this is why I love this one so much. It's so relaxed, just 2 Prince's hanging out.

I've been successful in winning a free clothing trial from Oasap. It's not something I'd usually go for, so watch this space!

I probably won't be back tomorrow as me being the awesome sister that I am, will be taking my brother to the London Film Festival as an early birthday treat. I'm really excited to get the chance to wear something a little special. All shall be revealed soon.

Anchored by the Thames

Ahoy!! I hope you all enjoyed yesterdays post featuring Frances O'Leary's new collection. I'm trying to make more of an effort with updating this blog more, so today I bring you a new outfit post.

This was quite a casual ensemble for me. The anchor tee is from Urban Outfitters and is quite possibly the comfiest top ever! I've teamed it with cherry red skinny jeans from Primark, a navy denim jacket from Uniqlo and not forgetting my favourite navy vintage nurse shoes. My bag is from Forever 21 and I can almost fit the kitchen sink in it.

Southbank is probably my favourite area of London. I just love being by the river - I'm a pirate at heart, happiest by the sea (or rivers/lakes/puddles!).

Until next time....
