Primark SS18 Collection Preview

Hey guys!

As you've probably seen from my Instagram and Snapchat, I was invited to Dublin to view the Primark Spring / Summer 2018 collection this week. It was absolutely fab and it was so lovely to get chatting to some new bloggers as well as catching up with bloggers I've previously met.

SS18 has lots of mustard vibes which I'm loving. I've really been loving mustard these last few weeks so I'm happy it's staying. Other trends seem to be stripes, reds, denim and mules (yay!). I took a few pics of the collection and the event itself so I said I'd put them all up here. I can't wait for these to start arriving in stores from next month!

Hello Sunshine

The weather the last month has been absolutely fab and I've been loving being able to wear summer dresses and shorts (a rarity in Ireland :P). I picked up these gorgeous yellow textured shorts in the Zara sale (kids dept if I'm gonna be honest :P) and I'm just in love! They're super comfortable and are quite long so they hide most of my thighs which is an added bonus :P I paired it with this gorgeous Savida top from Dunnes, Rosefield watch and Penneys sunglasses, shoes and bag (all old stock).

Denim Days

Hey guys! For the first time in ages, I'm posting an outfit post! I picked up this gorgeous denim dress in the Zara sale a few weeks ago (unfortunately it's sold out now) and I absolutely love it. It is a little short but I love the long sleeves and ruffles - makes it a perfect Irish summer dress as it keeps you a little warm still :P I love how versatile it is! I've paired it with a pair of fresh white cons but you could also wear a gorgeous sandal with it and dress it up a bit. The bag I'm wearing is from Penneys a few years ago - it has gotten so much wear!

Primark Rose Gold Make Up Brushes

My sister picked up this set of make up brushes (after I blatantly hinted to her) for me as part of my Christmas present. I'll be honest, the only reason I wanted them was because they look pretty - I mean rose gold and white brush hairs, how can you say no to that? They were only €8 for the set and I can honestly say I couldn't be more impressed by the quality of them. I've been using them for a while now and I'm really happy with them. I love the foundation brush especially as it's quite pointed and a different shape to my other brushes so it gives a different finish - it's much more dewey. If you can get your hands on a set, I'd definitely recommend them.

Cold Shoulders, Chunky Heels, Summer Nights

Hey guys!

Cannot believe we're already in August!!!! Where has the year gone! August makes me happy though coz it means we only have 3 more weeks till we head to Florida ahhh! I'll be writing out a few blog posts in the next week or so to go up when I'm away so let me know if there's certain posts you wanna see :)

For today's post, I'm gonna talk about my outfit that I wore to Prodijig in Cork Opera House last weekend. I'm loving the cold shoulder trend at the moment and when I spotted this top in Penneys two weeks ago, I knew I had to have it! It's very Zara-esque! It was only €11 and they still have some in Patrick's St. My jeans are from Aeropostale about a year or two ago. They come to my ankle and are a really nice fit. My shoes are also Penneys but I got them a few months back. I absolutely love them but the top strap cut all my toes :( any advice on how I can prevent this next time would be greatly appreciated! I posted them on my Facebook page and it was quite a popular post which was good for me but not good for all the people that were hoping to be able to get them :P

We also logged this day so you can see more of my outfit here!

Catrice Camouflage Concealer

I have been using this concealer for a few months now and I can honestly say I absolutely love it. When the Urban Decay Naked concealer hit the shelves I was eager to try it until I heard the Catrice one was a dupe for it. I haven't used the Urban Decay one myself but since buying the Catrice one, I haven't stopped using it.

I picked up the shade 010 Porcelain, which is the lightest shade, for only €3.99 in Penneys but Sam McCauley's also stock it. I apply it in a triangular shape under my eyes to really brighten and conceal any dark circles. I've really noticed the difference when I use this especially on days when I'm feeling really tired. I set it with lighter setting powder than what I'd use on the rest of my face just to add to the brightening effect. It's become part of my every day make up routine and couldn't imagine not using it. It doesn't crease, it blends amazingly well and lasts all day. I absolutely love it!

Have you tried it? Let me know in the comments below!

Nautical Stripes

Hey guys!

Today's post is an outfit post - something I haven't done in a while. A few of you that watch our YouTube channel have commented and snapchatted me looking for outfit details on what I'm wearing in the vlogs so I thought that I'd start posting them more often on my blog.

This outfit is kinda nautical inspired and something that's very easy to throw on and can be dressed up or dressed down by adding different accessories / shoes etc. The dress is super comfortable and fits quite well - I'm about 5 foot 3 so midi length dresses usually don't tend to suit me as they're too long but this one seems to fit ok.

Let me know if you want more outfit posts in the comments below :)

Everything shown below is from Penneys / Primark! The dress, shoes and necklace are current stock and the cardigan and bag were from last year.
