Favourite ankle boots for the Winter Season

Hi everyone,

Now it’s the time to get out your Winter boots out. Gone are the nights out where I could were my wedges! You have to get as much wear as possible out of your Summer shoes while you can. There are such lovely boots in the shop at the moment so it’s not all bad. I decided to pull together a few of my favourite ankle boots as I really like ankle boots and I think they go well with lot of outfits.

The below boots are lovely for a night out. They will dress up a pair of jeans and would also be nice with a dress. They come in so many colours too but I treated myself to a black pair as I thought they would go with everything.

Coats for Autumn/Winter

Unfortunately it’s that time of year again. After what was a really good Summer I’m afraid to say i’ts time to get the coats out! A Winter coat is a really good investment and it is something that can last you a few seasons if you invest in one.

I have pulled together a few of my favourite coats that I have seen recently. I hope you like them…I may have treated myself to one or two!

The first coat is really on trend at the moment. This is from Bershka.

The above coat from Bershka also comes in Grey and Camel, see below.

The next coat is really similar to the first but it is from Penney’s and retails at €40!

The next coat is a gorgeous one from Zara, I really like the faux fur cuffs. Click here to buy.

The next coat is also from Zara, it’s a checked double breasted coat. Check is really popular this season.

The next one is another from Zara, Zara are really scoring high with me on the coat front this season!

Next is this stunning coat from River Island. You can’t go wrong with a nice black coat, it goes with pretty much everything. This also comes in a beige and black, orange and beige.

The next coat is from Bershka, as you can see checked coats are really on trend this season. This coat is also available in a larger red check.

The next coat is a lovely one from Dorothy Perkins, this is the perfect coat for the more curvy lady and is available to buy up to a size 28.

Favourite Nail Varnishes

I must admit I am the ultimate girls girl and you will rarely catch me without my nails done! After years of having gel nails and shellac, the past few months I have been giving my nails a complete rest and only wearing nail varnish. Of course at first it was a big adjustment for me as I was so used to having either gel nails or shellac on but as time has went on I have gotten used to it. I also really enjoy painting my nails and changing the colour more often. It was safe to say that my nails definitely needed a rest and some time to breath.

I’ve put together a few of my favourite nail shades for this Summer and since the Summer is coming to an end I have also included some colours are really like for the Autumn.

A really important thing to remember is to always use a base coat. A base coat is great for protecting your nail under the nail varnish. particularly if you are using dark colours you want to ensure that you are preventing your nail from getting stained.

I really like the below product ‘ Diamond Shine’ from Sally Hanson. it works as a base coat while also protecting your nail.

Now onto colour first up is Rimmel 60 seconds shine in shade 558 WILD-ER-NESS.

wild-er-ness

I really like this colour, its from the Rita Ora range and I think that it is a shade that would remind you of her. I think it a really nice Summer colour that you can wear on your hands or feet – even both! I have used this colour a lot this Summer and it was on my toe nails for my trip to Malta and lasted for the whole week.

 

The second colour that I have been loving this Summer is another Rimmel nail colour. Rimmel Super Gel Nail Polish in SOUL SESSION. This one is from the Kate Moss range. I really love this colour because it is really subtle so you can wear it with anything. It also means that if it chips you can’t really notice it which is really handy!

soul session

 

Now for coming into the Autumn, I think the below colour ‘Como Se Llamma?’from OPI is gorgeous. It is a really rich colour that is lovely for this time of year.

opi COMO SE LLAMA

Staying with the coral colours the below two nail varnishes from Essie are really on trend for Autumn. The first colour is called ‘Style Stunner’ and  the second is ‘Capri’.

the next colour is from Sally Hansen this is the perfect transition colour from Summer into Autumn. This shade is called ‘Pretty Piggy’.

Finally you need to make sure that you put a top coat on top of these colours. A top coat will give your nail varnish an extra gloss and also help to prevent chipping. A top coat that like to use is  is Sally Hansen ‘Diamond Flash Fast Dry Top Coat’ this top coat also helps makes your nails stronger.

Dresses for those special occasions

Hi everyone,

Hope you are well. I have a few weddings coming up this year so I am currently looking for a nice dress to wear. It can be hard to decide what to wear but there are loads of options, which sometimes makes it easier but if you are indecisive it can make it harder!!  Knowing what kind of dress code the wedding is is very important.

Another tip is to check with the bride what colour her bridesmaid dresses are as no one wants to show up to the wedding looking like a bridesmaid when you aren’t one! This nearly happened me a few years ago. I had a lovely coral green dress picked out for my friends wedding. I decided to just check with her what colour her bridesmaid dresses wear and thank god I did as the dress I had picked out was the exact same colour!! The final tip is to remember never to wear anything in a shade of cream, beige, white or ivory.

I’ve put together a few of my favourite dresses that I thought you might like.
