Beanies


I am kind of obsessing over hats right now. It is Ireland, and inevitably the sky will stop fooling us into thinking we might see a few more days of sun. So, I'm thinking I'll plan ahead and arm myself with some winter beanies, to attack and fight the usual cold, rainy Irish winter that lies ahead. 

I can never decide whether hats suit curly hair like mine. When standing in front of a mirror in the hat section of Penneys, trying on the selection, images of the Mad-Hatter never cease to slip into my mind, obstructing my view of a rather cheap and trendy beanie.

But after coming home from a school trip and sifting through the hundreds of selfies taken, I came across this one (above), which makes me look rather cool in a hat. What you don't know is that it actually is a teddy bear beanie (I know what you're thinking, I am down with the cool kids.

So, I suppose if I can pull off a teddy bear on my head, I can pull off a beanie with curls.

Posing


I went extra blogger-ish at a family party when I asked my dad to take a photo of me: right there in the kitchen in front of my entire extended family. The awkwardness of posing gets me every time. I'm always unsure of what to do: how to slouch my long legs, where to place my awkwardly long arms, whether the hair should go over or behind the shoulder or where to stand. However, often the most strange-feeling poses look the best on the camera. So this time I forgot about the embarrassment of posing in front of people, of where to put all of my long limbs and and went all out.*

*Warning: poser alert.

sorry for the lack of photos, the embarrassment got to me after one shot...

Enjoy the sun! (Or the rain...or the hot cocoa)

Summer Loving

Enjoy the summer look!

Sneaker Talk





So I found this picture on my computer of an outfit last year and thought it was worthy of a post. As I am still introducing myself, I will tell you things about me along the way. Things that I may have forgotten in that brief About Me paragraph, all you learn there, is that I like Jaffa Cakes and sun. And since it would take a lot of effort for me to go back and edit that page (I'm a busy gal, ok?) I will fill you in along the way.
 
Basically, I'm a sneaker girl. Converse and Vans can be worn with absolutley everything. Skirts, dresses, shorts, jeans and everything in between (although I'm not sure there's much else in between). Almost everything, except maybe a red carpet gown, having said that...

 
 
 Kristen Stewart proves me wrong...
(Jeez, can a girl not prove a solid point around here?!)

So I rely on my trusty Cons every single day. 
 No matter how many piles of discarded outfit choices thrown on my bedroom floor, there is never a question when it comes to shoes.

Converse all the way.

Hola


So I did it. After many months of contemplation, and many years of following my inspirations on their fashion blogs, I set up my own. I will use this as my own portal when I'm in need of a fashion fix. By no means do I expect to become anyone's inspiration, but rather more of a friend, an invisible one...

So, my invisible friends, I hope you join this journey on which I am about to embark, and enjoy the ride! x

P.S. I like yellow. Alot.
