Tailored on Top

Just a quick hello and hope you're week is off to a good start. The sun was shining here last weekend so I took advantage and got out in the fresh air out at Dollymount Strand where there was a kite surfing festival on. I'll keep this post short and sweet today with my look for dinner with friends Saturday evening. I went for a clean and crisp summer look with a mint green top with collar detail, a simple white blazer and a pair of leather look black jeans to keep it casual. I'm also getting plenty of use out of my new bag as you can see.

Orange Zest

These photos were taken when I popped home to see my parents. After some play time with my dog (who never gets tired), I brought him for a walk to pick up some bits in the DIY store for some home improvements. I was wearing my brightest blazer. I'm loving orange at the moment, it's just screams summertime don't you think? I also couldn't help but admire the bursts of red among the flowerbeds along the way....slightly mad to think this when looking at flowers but I really want a something in my wardrobe in that vibrant red colour. By the way, these are the most comfortable flats for lots of walking. Let's face it, as cute as some flats are, sometimes really flat shoes hurt your feet right!?

Forgotten Gems

Have you ever looked forward to something, planned the outfit in your head and then after all that bother, the night you had planned never happened? This dress was initially bought for New Years Eve but I had come down with a bad flu and I never even got to go out in the end. Then I half forgot about this dress until recently so even though I bought it a few months back, it still felt brand new when I finally wore it. I wore it for my house warming as I had moved moved just recently. The lace was beautiful but what really caught by eye was the shape and fully beaded detail at the neckline. Have you any hidden gems you forgot you had?

 I added some red lippy for a pop of colour.

My recent purchase from H&M as my other black clutch didn't hold much.

All ready for the night ahead and as you can see, I really had that new dress feeling.

Hope you had a lovely weekend.x
