"Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world"

Nude Brogues: Clarks// Black Pumps: Oasis// Navy T-bar: Primark// Studded Sandals: ALDO//Pointed Pumps: Miss Selfridge

How many pairs of shoes are too many? I have gone a little bit shoe crazy lately, and they are literally all I have been buying! To me, shoes totally make or break an outfit. What's the point in forking out on the most beautiful outfit ever and wearing the ugliest shoes with it.

I feel like Carrie Bradshaw's Irish soul mate. I'd rather spend my money on Manolo's than rent, and I'd rather starve than pass up some cute heels in Topshop. So here are the many pairs I've bought in the last two weeks (And these are only the ones I've not returned... oops.)

My new nude brogues are a replacement for my much loved, but very battered, grey brogues. These are comfy, gorgeous, and match EVERYTHING, But my favourites are definitely my new pointed toe pumps from Miss Selfridge. They make every outfit look a little chicer, and I feel very classy and sophisticated while wearing them. 

So 20's not THAT scary....

It's been a while hasn't it? I've been home for the Easter holidays so I thought it would be nice to switch off so I could spend time with all the people I missed while I was away. Plenty of things happened while I was home, the biggest of which being- I turned 20!! Yes that's right, I am now officially no longer a teenager and am progressing into adulthood slowly but steadily.

That is a totally terrifying prospect, especially since I only have one more year left of student life. I avoided it for about a week, but eventually had to go changing my age on all my social networking bio's. That's a tedious job if ever there was one. 

Staying on the subject of birthdays but veering more towards the exciting bit, lets talk pressies! I got lots of attention, cake and fun times, but my family also spoiled me with the presents this year.

My sister bought me this gorgeous mint Jacket from H&M, which will be a perfect wardrobe addition for summer. I've wanted a tweed jacket for a while now, and I think stealing borrowing hers a few times made her realise its exactly what I needed. I love jackets, because they can change a look completely, as well as being the fash-signal to say that spring has finally arrived.

The next beautiful present is courtesy of Mum, who definitely appreciates my love for a good pair of flowery, patterned trousers. I think I must look longingly at a pair nearly every time we go shopping, so she definitely got the hint on that one. Both her and my sister know me too well. I can't wait to style these up with some cute ballet flats and my denim jacket.

Having a birthday in springtime is brilliant, its basically a way to sort your entire new season wardrobe out in one go, and it definitely makes being 20 a little bit easier if I can look good while doing it.

Recent purchases

Black Shirt-Warehouse//White Shirt-H&M//Trousers-Topshop

These are some of the things I've purchased lately, The black shirt and the trousers were both sale bargains, while the white shirt was just one of those items that I saw and thought "I must have it!". I've been looking for a nice white shirt for ages and this one is the first I've found that doesn't look like part of a school uniform! 

This is my first post of the new year, so I hope everyone enjoyed theirs, and that you all have less horrendous things than me to do, as I currently slave away at the revision. 

What I've been Buying

Shoes: Dune

Skirt: Urban Outfitters
Collar: Topshop
Top: Primark (Old)

Last Tuesday I had a well-deserved day off, so I packed up my new wages, grabbed my best friend and went for a shopping day out in Belfast! It was so good to be able to spend money again, but I fear I may have gone overboard. 
Here's everything I bought, most of it not in the sale, although I do have more sale bargains to show you all from yesterday, when I went shopping with Mum. (yesterday was also a good day because I finally had my braces off. but more on that later!)
These shoes were one of those "I love them, I need them now!!" purchases, I wasn't going to be deterred that one is maybe a teensy tiny bit too big...... oh well!
The skirt was nearly one that got away, but was spotted by my friend when we were leaving! so Glad she saw it now, its comfy, fits perfectly and matches everything!

Payday Picks.

So today is officially the best day of the month..... PAYDAY!
Sorry if it isn't payday for you and I've depressed you, but after almost a year of having no job, it is my first payday from my new job, which is incredibly exciting as I finally have money. So what do I do? Shop of course. 
Here are three of the things I want to buy most this month.

Shakespeare tee- Tee & Cake @ Topshop
I am such a nerd, that I fell in love with this tshirt the moment I saw it. Need in my life. 

Colourblock sandals- H&M
These are everything I usually hate in a shoe, but I love them for some reason!

Peplum top- Topshop
Peplums are MASSIVE this season, if you don't already own one, buy one now!!


Happy Spending!

Happy Easter! OOTD

Dress: Religion 

Blazer: H&M 

Bag: Next 

Shoes:Oasis

Jewellery: Argento,H&M,Citizen.

Happy Easter everyone! Hope everyone had a nice day and got lots of easter eggs! I went to a hotel with my family for dinner and took these pictures outside it because it was gorgeous. I would've got more but it started to rain, the Joys of Irish weather!!!

I got this dress in religion on Brick Lane when I went to London last weekend, and had to have it! I wish that I had taken these shoes home with me to wear with it instead of the brogues I am wearing but that's one of the issues of Student Life and airline baggage allowances! 

Got my hair cut yesterday too, and although its not VERY short, I feel like I've cut it all off because it had finally got so long! It grows quickly enough though, so hopefully it will be back to what it was soon enough! 

I'm still here.

I apologise for the lack of posting lately, but I have been trying to make the most of the amazing weather, spending time with my friends before going back to Ireland for three weeks, Getting things in order because it is the last week of the semester, and having Birthday celebrations!
Well, there are only 24 hours in a day after all. 

So as compensation for my absence I Will give you another week in Pictures post, Beacuse I am too nice like that! except, it isnt a week, more like two or three, But I'm sure you dont mind!

Topshop Makeup Shopping Spree.

Lipstick in 'Innocent'-Lipstick and eyeliner- Bag- Swatches- Cute box.

Took a little trip into Newcastle on Sunday with Melody for a days shopping, and then a cheeky little Nando's of course!
While browsing in Topshop I had a look at the makeup stand, after having heard very good reviews of it from lots of people. I wanted some new Lipstick and Some brown Eyeliner, and bought an eyeliner Kohl in 'Saddle', and a lipstick in 'Innocent'.
I find Topshop to be overpriced a lot of the time, so naturally was expecting the makeup to follow suit, however, was pleasantly surprised to find that they are all extremely reasonably priced, with the Lipstick costing  £8.00 and the Eyeliner costing £4.00
I love this lipstick. I was a bit unsure of the colour at first, and felt it was a bit bright as it comes out very pink when its on, and slightly reminded me of a Barbie, but I warmed to it and now I absolutely love it. Its very moisturising, and doesn't dry out your lips, and the pigmentation is good.
The eyeliner I also love, its not as brown as I was hoping for, but more of a bronze colour, but I still like the colour, it applies nicely, and smudges really well.
The packaging of Topshop makeup is so cute, and I love how simple it is, yet it still manages to look quirky. it does mark really easily though, just had the lipstick in bag at uni for two hours and already marks on it. Oh well, I am just clumsy like that!
