Rome Shopping Haul.

Hello Everybody!!

I hope your are all enjoying this beautiful day!

I want to say a little something before we get started; I want to say, best of luck to all Junior Cert and Leaving Cert students beginning their exams today, especially to my brainy sister Ráichéal, all you can do is your best! I didn't get the points I wanted in my leaving cert and to this day I am so grateful for that, If I got the points I wanted I would have never found my love for the Italian Language. Sometimes if you fall off your desired road it's because there is a better path for you. Everything happens for a reason! :)

I want to share some bits I got in Rome recently. I'm home just over a week now so I'm suffering from extreme withdrawal symptoms! It was only a 4 day trip but as usual I loved every second of it!
So I want to show you all what I purchased and a few little presents I received too. :) Details Below!

Top:H&M (Rome)

Shorts: Zara (Rome)

Belt: Pennys/Primark (Galway)

Shoes: Newlook (Galway)

I decided to add a few of my own pieces to create a full look. In my 'Afternoon Tea' post these Zara shorts can be seen with another type of outfit. They are very classy and they fit so well! The New Look Brogues are absolutely ancient but they still seem like new! Another great buy! This outfit is completely girlie yet classy and can be worn for many occasions.

Shirt: Pennys/Primark (Galway)
Bag: Newlook (Galway)
Crochet shorts: H&M (Rome)
Sandals: Pennys/ Primark (Galway)

In this look I only got these extremely comfortable crochet black shorts in Rome. I added a few other pieces to create this look. This pink shirt from Pennys is quite old but very light for those summer days, and I know that Pennys always do shirts like this so not to worry you will find one in there! The Newlook Bag is the best handbag I have ever bought, it sits so well on my shoulder and the design is beautifully unusual. These dark salmon pink and sandy brown sandals from Pennys are extremely comfortable and they are a new purchase of mine! Overall this look is perfect for those summer evenings. :)

Kiko:

Primer- Skin Tone Corrector (Peach)

Lipstick- Velvet Mat (no.602)

One thing about Kiko Makeup is that the smell is so amazing! This primer smells so good and feels so light on my skin. (I'll do a makeup look soon on these products). The Velvet Mat lipstick is possibly one of the best lipsticks I have worn and it matches my lips perfectly. It says its a matte lipstick but it doesn't dry out your lips, it keeps a moist element to it which is what every girl needs!

Make up Forever: HD Foundation (N115)

Lancome Paris: Teint Miracle Concealer Pen (01)

These two were bought in Sephora by my Boyfriend as part of my birthday present. As you can see I chose nearly the lightest colour foundation and concealer because of my pale Irish skin, but I can say that they match my skin tone perfectly! (Again I will do a post on this soon).

Here is a peak of beautiful Rome:

Castel Sant'Angelo. One of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen!

Casual Chic.

Hello everybody! Happy Sunday!

Today I somehow got roped into participating in a dog show, (my first time ever might I add!) and it was diabolical! A family member asked a favour off me so I had to!
Imagine picking a dog up of the street, grooming it, putting a little bow in its hair then entering a dog show, yep that's what it looked like I did!

Aside from public humiliation I want to show you guys a cute little outfit I put together today! It's extremely comfortable and is perfect for many occasions, except if it's extremely windy then everyone will see your bum!

My outfit details are below. :)

Hat: Pennys/Primark

Shirt: Pennys/Primark

Skirt: Hollister

Pumps: Pennys/Primark

The fact it's nearly all from Pennys it's a cheap enough outfit and Pennys always has cute little skirts like this Hollister one so this classy look wont really break the bank!

Talk to you soon guys! :)

Love Ciara x

Afternoon Tea

Every Girl needs Afternoon Tea!

If anybody is struggling to find something to do for your birthday or to relieve stress I suggest you gather your girls whether it be your friends, sisters or your mother, afternoon tea is a must. I was fortunate to go on Wednesday for my cousins birthday and it was extremely relaxing.

My outfit details are shown below:

Shirt: Pennys/Primark

Shorts: Zara (in Rome, I'll post my Rome pieces soon)

Necklace: Guess (a present)

Belt: Pennys/ Primark

Bag: Newlook

It was held in the G Hotel in Galway and we were situated in 'The Pink Room' which I found so adorable and cute, and completely girly! We got an array of sweets and treats and some sandwiches. With this we had a choice of any hot beverage (green tea for me!!) and a glass of Prosecco. Yum! I have to recommend going for afternoon tea so get your girls together! It can be a little expensive which is the downside to it. But going at least once cant hurt.
