Everything is Better in Wideleg

I'm expanding my pants collection...
I go through my phases with silhouettes. I like to change up my silhouette, since I'm not a colour or print person. I love love loved me some skinny jeans, then drop crotch and finally leggings. Now though from the skinny to the drop I've come to be fond of the wide leg pant.   
Moving on from jeans I'm becoming more and more fond of trousers and different

Suited? Brights

Winter Blacks are no longer. Brights are the new black... or they're at least trying to.
As fashion trends filter down slowly down the chain, Spring 2011 colours notably led by Prada are making their way into stores. Welcome the brights. Not too neon, not too pastel, just high concentrated colour. 
My wardrobe has the occasional splash of colour. Generally when it comes to accessories and the

Trenching It.

I've never really like winter. Rain... Cold... Rain. 
I must admit with recent travels in cold cold Europe I've stocked up a pretty good winter wardrobe full of coats, scarves and other winter goodies to keep me warm and stylish over the cold months.

This trench coat is my favourite, I got from Paris H&M, Khaki green its a very winter chic coat. With a hood, waistband and my number one

Savage? and Vintage

I love love love me thing Savage H&M Print
Every time I think of this print I think of London, Oxford Street, Shopping, fond fond memories. Featured in my Style Diary entries, I collected this print. I've got a cropped blazer, pant and these blue leggings. They are tres intense, and I love love love them. 
Being Winter its gotten a lot more colder, and that means time for jackets, overcoats and

Geeky? Chic

I wear glasses. Not often, mainly because I have contacts. But I do sometimes...
I'm not really a fan of glasses, I just think they make me look weird and geeky. Maybe it's because I haven't found a good pair. But I thought for this look why not don a pair of fake over sized ones just for fun.
As winter is upon us these are my last Summer/Autumn look posts. No more short shorts for a while... I

Blazing? Gold

So you know how I mentioned that I have a things for certain pieces of clothing. Drop crotch pants are probably my favourite, but blazers are a close second. I tend to wear them or a leather jacket. I just like the structure it can give to a look, whether it has intense shoulder pads or not the sharp collar and slim fit suit me well. 
I stumbled on this gold H&M blazer on my second time Paris,

Drop Crotch Love?

Anyone who knows me, or seen me knows I love love love me some drop crotch pants. I to tend to go through fads where I just continue to collect different types of clothing. One time it was skinny jeans, then Harems and now and still drop crotch pants. I think it mixes the best of both worlds, a bit of a skinny calf, pockets and a low crotch which plays around with my silhouette.

Savage? Pants...

I bought these printed pants from H&M on my big shop in London before Oktoberfest. Note I do have a cropped blazer in the same material and a pair of tights in that print but in electric blue. So it's safe to say I love love love this print. Its black and white, simple and gives off a 2010 McQueenish vibe. Currently I've generously loaned these pants to my Big Sis whom is in Sydney, so I am

Y5L Summer Love

When I was over in Ireland I got to purchase so many different things which I can't at home. 5 Preview is one of them. Based in Europe I was over the moon when I finally bought myself a piece from their collections. I've already featured my 5 Preview Oversized Tee and my 55 Necklace so I thought I'd give some love love love to my Y5L singlet. A cute play on YSL, normally I hate prints but I

Quilted Love

One thing I have realized when unpacking was that I have a lot more winter/cooler weather clothing. As it being summer and all its mildly frustrating that I can't wear any of these pretty pieces. I got this quilted shoulder sweater from Topman in Malaysia, and these really cool pair of black trousers from H&M when I was in Paris. 


I particularly love the pants as they have really deep

Mickey...? You're so fine

Who doesn't like Mickey Mouse? I got this sweater from Topman, just because it's fun and the cut suits well. Normally I'm not a big fan of sweaters just because I normally swim or look too shrimpy in them, but this one is cut well. Follow the jump for my look...

Velvet Crush?

I'm a fan of the shade of Black, that and the textures that you can get in the shade. Before I felt for Europe I actually bought a few metres of black velvet to be used at a later date. I found this Velvet Blazer from H&M when I was in Edinburgh, though with the amount of clothes I'd already purchased I left it alone. However the following week in London I spotted it again in one of the many

Last year I covered the release of the Lanvin ♥ H&M collection. Against all odds I managed to purchase a blazer and cotton tote with the help of ebay, as the collection wasn't available in Limerick. However all that aside I have now in my possession pieces from Lanvin ♥ H&M! I would of loved to of got a pair of the sunglasses, but heck I'm really happy with the blazer.

She also packed this Cardigan from Monki which I've fallen in love love love with. It's black and it have elbow and shoulder details on it which I love.

Crazy Love

So I have a thing for 5Preview clothing, since I've been in Europe I've been purchasing numerous items from their lines (and plan to in the near future). I've also got an official 5Preview widget link on my blog to their site (right big photo with balloons). Never the less my recent purchase from the site prompted me to once again start photo blogging, which led my photo to be placed on their
