WHAT I LEARNT IN 2014 | LIFESTYLE ❤️




2014…wow it feels so surreal to think that this year is basically over, although the year seemed way longer in my eyes. 2014 has definitely been the panicle of my life so far and also my most adventurous year yet. I dug a lot deeper within myself and I am more understanding of the type of person I am. I gained friendships this year that aspire to last a lifetime that by comparisons have forced to re-valuate and question what true friendship means to me.
This year I visited the hospital for the first time in my life and its still an unfamiliar memory to me, almost as if it never happened. It was the scariest experience of my life and it couldn’t have happened at a worst time but it taught me appreciate the gift that is life and not take it for granted as we all do!

In my house I’m the annoying one that always wants to sail away with the wind and the best thing about 2014 is after my final exams is I got to do just that, travel. First stop was America with the whole family. We went to the touristy Florida, visited all the amazing attractions and even managed to squeeze in a mini road trip to Tampa to visit the Busch Gardens. I vlogged the whole trip on my YouTube channel and the whole family agreed it was the best Family vacation EVER!
Next Stop was Lagos, Nigeria in July with the family once more, which was actually quite unexpected. I literally woke up one morning and said to my mum Let’s go to Nigeria. I’m glad we went as I got to see relatives I hadn’t seen in a long time and some baby pictures too. The food was GREAT too!  That Sensation chicken for the win!
In August I had the most amazing 21st birthday in Paris and with one of my best friends. I officially became an Adult in every country… WHOOP! My hotel suite was to die for and it had the best view of Paris too. Most days we went site seeing and shopped and on my birthday we went clubbing on the Champ Elysees at Queen Nightclub and DJ Lesty made it a night I will never forget.

When summer ended, I was back in Ireland and I felt a bit lost so I decided to take my parents’ advice and do my masters at the University of Surrey. This meant I would move to England and it would be a brand new adventure. Everything was truly perfect but for some reason I just wasn’t excited to go. In the back of my mind I had this tiny screaming voice that said don’t do it but I suppressed it and decided to go anyway.
When I arrived in surrey I had this amazing place and I made these awesome friends. In my mind I call them my three J’s...(JD, Joy and Jesse), my awesome classmates Allyson, president Seb and my River Island girls.

Everything seemed great for the first 2 weeks and then I started to notice that something was missing still. I wasn’t happy. I said to myself I must give myself some time to adjust but eventually I came to the realisation that I had forced myself into being somewhere I wasn’t ready to be. I went to see my personal advisor and I left my masters and it’s been the best decision Ever! 2 months later I have zero regrets, I’m glad I went to Surrey because I got to meet amazing people and if I never went we would have never met.

I decided to stay in England until Christmas regardless of leaving Uni and I fell into a mini depression, as I didn’t really know what I wanted to do with my life. I found myself getting closer to God and after a while I had this epiphany and I realised everything didn’t matter. Life to me is about finding one’s own path and staying true to that. I learnt to set myself free from expectations and live for myself and not others, make my own decisions and stand by them and their consequences.

So for me 2014 has been an AMAZING year, I graduated with my honours degree, turned 21,traveled a fair bit and gained some amazing friends along the way.  I learnt to be myself more as well as live for myself and most importantly, follow my heart in all things.What a Rolla coaster of a year but honestly I wouldn’t change a thing.

Now to read chapter 2015! I Have faith it’s full of Amazing moments.


Until next time with love,

A FURRY GREY DAY IN LONDON | HOW I STYLE








MISSGUIDED Coat| NEWLOOK Turtleneck | ASOS Chain | TOPSHOP Jeans | NEWLOOK Heels

Funny how just a couple of days ago I was strolling down along Romford Road in Stratford London, a place I frequently spent my childhood summers.  At first I didn’t recognise the street and then that sense of wistfulness hit me and I remembered the familiarity. The sweet shop I constantly gathered all my pennies for, the university across the road and of course the recurring movements of the infamous red buses. 
Damn… Time Flies !
I spent this particular day taking the blog photos’ you see above as well as shopping with my Friends Joy and Jessy at Westfield Shopping centre, which for me was a welcomed addition to Stratford city. I ended up buying the Zara bag from my Wishlist Post *Covers Face* and I got these Zara mesh heels  I’ve been Obsessing over. They slightly remind me of Kim Kardashians’s favourite and extremely over worn SS14 Hermes heels.
I am kind of looking forward to 2015 already, Spring/Summer especially … the freshness of a new year, the upcoming adventures and the new beginnings awaiting me.
So dolls, I’m keeping this post short and sweet so i'll leave it at that. Leave a comment below, your comments are always appreciated.

Christmas Gift Ideas | For Her x

Christmas Guide for HER




Babyliss blow dryers iron / Lancôme gift sets kit, £52 / MARC BY MARC JACOBS stainless steel jewelry, £145 / Pandora sterling silver jewelry, £29 / MICHAEL Michael Kors Michael kor, £145 / NIKE flat shoes / Audiology Portable Phone Charger in Pink


1.           Concert Tickets  - Concert tickets are always a great gift to get your significant other. You probably know what artists she’s loved for the longest time, e.g. Nicki Minaj & Trey Songs or Drake’s European tour (2015) in the Uk and Ireland. Sometimes going for a more intimate concert is advisable plus you get to save some money. Check out some of the up and coming artists she’s been feeling lately. A friend of mine went to see Ed Sheran when he played Vicar Street in Dublin a few years ago, at the time he was just starting out and now he sells out multiple nights at the O2. So beat the queue,head over to Ticketmaster and take her to see that next big star first!

2.          Perfume Gift Sets – I think a truly elegant gift to get her is “La Vie Est Belle”, which is French and translates to “life is beautiful”. Every girl likes to channel her inner Parisian girl and feel like a Pretty woman, Lol See what I did there?  Plus it smells divine so she will love it. Another great thing about getting gift sets is you save a ton of money as the perfume is standard price or less but comes with a lot of fun extras. One thing I know about us girls is we never like to buy our own expensive perfumes, we like when someone else buys them for us on special……. or any occasion really *laughs*.

3.          Curling Iron  - Curling wands are useful tools to quickly give her look an extra oomph! So head on over to Boots cause at this time of year they do great deals on curling wands and curling Irons and you could save up to 50%.  Check out the type of curlers she already owns and go for one with a slightly different curl pattern, from GHD’s to Babyliss you’ll find the perfect curling Wand to get her.


4.          Jewelry & Watch – Jewelry is always a great choice for us ladies…. They do say diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but if you’re not trying to break the bank then anything shiny will do. From sparkly earrings to dazzling statement piece necklaces. I have suggested this Sterling silver Pandora Birth stone Ring, there’s basically one for every month based on birth month.  I own a Pandora charm bracelet I got a few years ago so I can definitely recommend Pandora as a brand.  

5.          Bag - A Bag is an awesome gift for her this Christmas. Who doesn’t want a new bag? River Island and Zara have some lovely bags in stock at the moment or you can go for the more pricey ones like Kate Spade, DKNY or this Michael Kors Selma I have above. The key is to know her style. RESEARCH! Ask yourself does she carry shopper tote bags, satchels, or duffle bags and then go by what you think will suit her. She will love the thought you put into choosing it and she’ll be flattered that you know her bag preferences.

6.         Makeup – Now if she’s a makeup lover, makeup junkie or even a makeup Artiste, then please kindly find your way to your nearest mac cosmetics counter. Mac eye shadows are great but pretty pricey when bought individually so I have suggested the warm pre-made palette as it comes with neutral tones that will easily enhance every skin tones. She can play around with the colours and use it all year round and all at a gift worthy price.

7.          Portable Charger– Funnily enough my friend Alison gave me this gift idea. Girls love their phones and also snapchat and we all know snapchat is a battery drainer. A fantastic and SUPER useful gift Idea is a portable charger so she can take snap photos and videos to her heart’s content. Some of these portable chargers come in pretty cool shapes so are even mirrors so she can use it to fix up her makeup as well.

8.         Trainers – Christmas is the perfect time to get her Nike trainers or running shoes as this is the time when she’s preparing for the famous New Year’s resolution of absolute healthy eating and fitness. A bit of encouragement with a new pair of Nike trainers will serve as the perfect motivator.

Now those are some suggestions of great presents for Her, but if all else fails and you are still confused then just buy her a gift voucher for her favourite store. If you’re a hopeless gift giver chances are she already knows and will still love you regardless. Gift giving is not everybody’s forte, it's the thought that counts.
Until next time with love,

OVER THE KNEE BOOTS FOR PETITES | HOW I STYLE












Jumper dress | H&M (here)\\ Coat | Pull & Bear (here) // Necklace | Forever 21 (Similar Here) // Boots | Primark (similar here) & Watch | Michael Kors (Similar here)

This year has definitely flown through so quickly, it feels like just a couple of days ago I was enjoying my travel filled summer and now SHOCKER !!! It's December already. The cold has recently just arrived but guess what?, its my favourite time of the year, I'm one of those strange people that even though I like to wear less layers during the summer, I love A/W. 
What is so great about Autumn and Winter ? 
Well besides the obvious festivities that go on during this time of the year, its the perfect opportunity to get away with dressing like a long lost relative of The Addams family, if that's your thing and sometimes it's really my thing. (to a limit of course lol !) I even almost bought a black lipstick in Superdrug yesterday!! 

Today's outfit post was actually inspired by two sources, firstly my friend JD who was also my guest photographer for this outfit and secondly from a blogpost I read.
It all started on a casual day at Primark having a nose through the shop-floor and JD points out these boots and says these would suit me.I immediately laughed and dismissed the thought of ever buying them but it was quite random actually, I decided to try them on a joke so I could do a little mirror dance and Voila ! it was love at first Wear!...... I ended up going back to buy them a few days later. 

A few days Prior to this I had my usual read of my favourite blogs, from Shirley's wardrobe to Nadia Aboulhosn who's syle im Obsessed with but when i'm done with my favourites I like to read from posts blogger I know and im interested in.
"Take for example knee high boots. Who told you you were Rihanna? If you are short and stumpy, you more than likely will not pull it off." 
I partly understand what she was saying !! But is Rhianna the inventor of knee high boots paired with an oversized tee  ?,NOPE ! if anything a majority of  fashion bloggers are. You don't need me to tell you that everything looks different on a model and on Rihanna than it does in real life. Over-the-knee boots are a biggie. In the typical fashion show, they look effortlessly stunning and easy to pull off, usually paired with a micro mini or a floating dress that's cut up to the thigh. In real life, they're a little trickier to wear — they make a statement, conjure up images of our favourite Pretty Woman and can easily become a train-wreck if it doesn't agree with he rest of your attire. OK, I'll admit: they're challenging; but that doesn't mean they're not worth a try and that they won't actually work with the right pieces, for everybody. Yes, EVERY body type, you just have to find what works for your body type. (check out pintrest,Tumblr for ideas ect!) 

I guess what i'm trying to say is Society shouldn't rule out a style of dressing for a particular group of people and dictate to them what's right  and wrong ! What shoes they can wear when  and what shoes they are "allowed" to wear, based on their height. I guess that statement is for those that care deeply what people think of what they wear. As for me, I love my new Primark Over the knee boots and I cant wait to style them in some of my future posts.
Until next time with love,
