Lost in WONDERland...

I had such fun taking these photos for a tweedle dum tweedle dee esque photoshoot. Got the idea from the matching dresses me and my friend ruth had. (actually hers is navy/white and mine is black/white). We went to a forest near where I live to shoot these pictures, to give it the feel of being in Wonderland, it was a beautiful backdrop but it was freezing! Leading most of the photos to be taken with our blazers still on!


































Tweedle dum tweedle dee outfits:
Im wearing: Blazer by Zara, Dress from Sample Sale, tights by River Island, red shoes by New Look, DIY Bow Tie.
Ruth is wearing: Blazer by Primark, Same dress from Sample Sale, tights River Island, red shoes by New Look, DIY Bow Tie.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas, I did :) got many great goodies and a pimping new SLR camera which hopefully ill be able to work soon! xo

Its all change..

So Ive been talking about a new layout for my blog for ages, and now its here! What do you think? I LOVE it!! I have to send a big thanks out to my friend Ruth for all her technical help with the make over I couldnt have done it without her.

Now for more exciting news! I have had another article published with Eve magazine, for this article i interviewed three bloggers, Yara, Hanh and Tegan. Thanks girlies for your lovely photos and answering all my questions :)

I accidentally deleted my blog roll list when updating the new layout, so if i had linked you or you would like to link with me please just leave a comment below. xo

Glued to the Box...

It is freezing here today and snowed for the first time yesterday!! Due to freezing temperatures Im not so much as leaving the sofa tonight. Theres no need with good food (being prepared by my boyfriend), nice wine and good shows on the box.

Im totally addicted to Ghost Whisperer at the minute, the wardrobe dept must have such fun styling Jennifer Love Hewitt. Her feminine floaty old worldly style is probably impractical for every day life but I cant help but want her whole wardrobe! Esp her nightware! The girl has the nicest nightgowns ever!!

I heard rumors Miss Hewitt was bringing out her own clothing collection called Timeless based loosely on the feminine style from Ghost Whisperer.. fact or fiction?

Next to Ghost Whisperer, I cant get enough of America's Next Top Model. Cant wait for the new series dedicated to girls under 5'7. Totally unheard of esp for runway, but im totally up for the change in direction (esp saying im only 5'6 myself ) :P

Weekend is shaping up to include some last minute Christmas Shopping, walking in the park, listening to great local music at venue in Belfast, drinking wine, looking after my mums pugs while she's outta the country..xo

Revel in Splendor..

Apologies for being MIA for a week! Cant believe its been that long, this time of year hours and days seem to fly by.. Christmas is almost upon us! Madness.. Im glad to report that today im officially off on Holidays from work until the 6th of January. Really looking forward to just chilling out and spending time with friends and family, drinking mulled wine, eating a lot of chocolate, watching Christmas films and shopping..lots!






Wore this out shopping with the boyfriend end of last week, they've put a plastic ice rink down in a great park near where i live ( not cold enough here for the real thing yet!) so going to give it a go later in the week. :)
Wearing: Purple cardy: Salt & Pepper, Black dress: Mado, Striped scarf: gift from a friend, tights: Marks & Spencer, Brogues: River Island. Heart Handbag: Topshop. Gold ring: Heirloom.

All that Sparkles..

Had to rip these images straight out of this weeks LOOK magazine cos I just loved them!
The girl above's smokey eyes, nude lips, tousled hair is so relaxed glam.
You cant really see but the cardy has a glitter in the thread.
Image below is H&M the dress has panels of sequins and is £99..

Sequins, Glitter, Sparkles... the uniform of the holiday season, if you aren't wearing something shiny/disco ball esque then you just aren't in the Christmas party season. (apparently!)
Ive always been a fan of a bit of glitter or sequins, glitter eyeliner, sequin scarves but this season the trend is OTT sparkleyness!! I must say Im starting to love it, and its got me thinking what dress im gonna get for the Festive season. In my house we always dress up on Christmas day, we dont go anywhere or have anyone over but i dunno it always seems nice to dress up! (any excuse in my books!)

Asos Black Label

Asos Kint with oversized sequins

Costume Dept sequinned leggings, Love these! If only my legs were this long and slim!

This is the dress id chose, Warehouse sequinned beauty..just need £100.
which after all the christmas shopping for family its not gonna happen..sigh.
do you dress up on Christmas day? Will you be decking yourself out in sequins?
