Summer nails

I've a feeling gel nails are going to be big again this summer, can't wait to get mine done! So here are some cute nail ideas, most pictures are thanks to pinterest :D 

I got these exact nails done last year and absolutely adored them! White matches with everything and looks great on tanned skin. 


Anything tropical themed gets my vote :)





You can't go far wrong with coral....




Why not get each nail in a different colour, these ones are really tempting me!

The wait is over - Nicole x Missguided

So the wait was finally over today as Nicole Scherzinger revealed her clothing collection with Missguided! The collaberation is composed of monochrome pieces with cobalt blue as the signature colour. 
Nicole herself describes it as ''sexy, classy, chic and strong.'' I'm personally not a huge fan of the collection, I thought it would be more original - something we havn't seen from Missguided before, however it is mostly leather crop tops and midi dresses and skirts. But that's just my opinion! My favourite piece from the collection is this 3 tone dress for nearly €56. 

Product review - Argan oil / Moroccan oil

So what's the difference between argan oil and moroccan oil? Well, not much really! Argan oil comes from kernals produced by the argan tree in Morocco and is very high in vitamin E and fatty acids. Aswell as being used on the hair to treat split ends it can also be used on the skin to treat acne, dry skin and scarring. Moroccan oil is the same as argan oil except is has an additional ingredient added to it such as aloe vera. 

These products can be bought in Boots, Holland and Barrett or in Hennessys near the GPO in Cork. I would recommend these products to absolutely EVERYONE! It has done wonders to my hair! Just apply a drop (any more will make your hair greasy, trust me, I learned the hard way!) to wet hair and work through, then blowdry your hair. 

I notice an improvement in my hair immediately! It has grown much faster then ever before, is stronger and more shiny. But the biggest improvement I noticed is that my hair is much less frizzy and not as dry. I bought a 300ml bottle from Hennessy about 2 months ago, i think the price was about €15 but it will last me many more months to come. So for all ye readers out there, this is a beauty must buy!!

Boohoo and box tee bargains

Just a quick blog about my wishlist from Boohoo.com and box t-shirts jumbled into one. The box t-shirts are ones which I have myself but found for cheaper online :) 

I seem to be having trouble putting pictures from the Boohoo.com website directly onto the blog so I just searched from the images in google. :)

wishlist.... 

First up are these metallic blue running shorts, €22, I think they would look unreal with a white box T-shirt and runners to create that sports luxe style.  


Secondly this dogtooth check jumper for only €22


    

High shine midi skirt, €30, in black pink or blue, can't decide which colour I want the most! 

Now onto box t-shirts...


from missguided, €13.94, (also available in blue). I purchased an almost identical one a few weeks ago from riverisland for about €20 / 25 



Large grid checked over sized tee, €16. Again I got a similar one about a month ago in Dunnes Stores except it's black with pink stripes for €25, so this one above is definitely a style steal!


And last but not least, missguided, €20.92
I just love love love this top! The cut and colour are just perfect :) Unfortunately I have to restrain myself from buying it as I again I have a similar top which I purchased from Boohoo.com which is sleeveless :'( 

Penneys Spring/Summer '14

It's actually unnatural how excited I am for the full range of Spring/ Summer '14 clothes to hit our stores! Here's a look at what Penneys (Primark) has to offer, just to wet ye'er appitites! ;) 







I ADORE this tropical print two piece! 



Polkadots are the cutest print ever! :P



Also if any of ye are looking for those baseball / jersey type tops look no further then penneys! I purchased a lovely white one with black stripes and a picture of mickey mouse on it, talk about cuteness overload! I'll post a picture of it up later in the week :) 

If the shoe fits!

In autumn winter of 2013 the wardrobe essential everyone was talking about was coats, now this season it seems to be statement or unusual shoes! They're everywhere! Missguided and RiverIsland have taken note of this to provide us with a wide variety of shoes to die for! Missguided have even started their very own footwear collection for us to lust over! Here are some of my favourites!

First my selection from RiverIsland....


these beauties are from RiverIsland and seem to be on teh feet and wishlist of most fahion bloggers out there at the moment! €80


I was always undecided about shoes like these, with the cut out sides I thought they were impracticle because Ireland is a wet and cold country! However I've grown to love them and may even purchase a pair myself now :)  Were €60, down to €30 so you better grab a pair fast before they're all gone! Also available in black and pink!


Everyone needs a pair of hightops! €40



LOVE these pumps!! €33 and you can never go wrong with monochrome ;)  primark (penneys) also have similar pumps to these.



chunky gladiator sandles are going to be HUGE this summer! €55

Missguided as always have a huge range to choose from, with most of them seeming to be thick chunky heels with no platform, like the one pictured below for €42


They also have many kitten heels, varying in colour from neon green to pastel pink, and of course, the gladiator sandle!

Gingham style!

Gingham is a plain-woven fabric made from dyed cotton and is the latest trend taking over the shops by storm. 




I love this skirt from topshop, it would be perfect with a cosy fluffy jumper! :)





these trousers from missguided.eu are €34.63 and would be great for both day wear or night wear - just add heels and a crop top!
