Saint Laurent got me like...

Welcome to the family .....

As some may know I am slightly obsessed with accessories! and handbags are becoming my weakness! I've had my eye on this bag for such a long time and I am lucky enough to have such an amazing boyfriend who gave this to me as a present for christmas. I think I was in shock for about two weeks after opening the box, heck I still am in shock! 

A lot of people may think I'm mad for wanting something so outrageously priced but I like certain things in life and this bags just happen to be one of them! From the leather to the chain to the interior of the bag, they all create and overall classy and elegant piece that I can't most definitely pair with everything in my wardrobe!

The bag comes with its own little envelope of authentication and a string bag to protect it!

I absolutely love the gold logo at the front, its the classic YSL logo! You can expect to see this bag in a lot of my upcoming outfit posts and future Instagram pictures!

3 Looks for 3 different Occasions

Look no.1 - Casual yet classy 

Perfect for any casual-dressy occasion or even a dinner date! This outfit allows you to look well put together while not looking too over dressed. whether you're hitting the town for a few drinks with the girls or going for a nice meal. Something like this is for sure going to make you stand out in a crowd! 

Look no.2 - Chic n Bronze

The second look is more chic and dressy, both the skirt, top and accessories are very versatile so you won't be throwing money at the wind when making a purchase on these pieces. For me, I would wear this to something like a wedding or a party. The flow of the outfit would be great on any body shape. All you need after is a classy top knot up do some red lippy and your ready to go !

Look no.3 - Dark side Boho

The last look is probably the most wearable look and something that I would wear every day if I could! I love the fringe detailing on the jumper dress, wearing over the knee boots with the jumper dress is giving you the option of bare legs, you could wear tights if you wanted that extra bit of warmth and if you're from Ireland I would suggest this would be the better way to wear this outfit... we don't want an pneumonia.. :/

All pieces are from Shein

 I found this shop recently and absolutely fell in love with their clothing ! 

Because I love these outfits so much I might... just might make a purchase and also do an outfit post on them. 

What do you guys think of the outfits, would you wear any?

My Go To 2017 Products So Far .....

     Improve your daily look with very little effort 

                                                     

 No.1 : Charlotte Tilbury 

Honestly the first time I heard of the great Charlotte Tilbury was this year when a section opened up at my local Brown Thomas and my first impression was "WOW". Everything looked so glam and rose gold ( my fav) but the the prices came into play. At first I was hesitant to purchase but I just said you gotta try sometime... and thankfully I did because these products are now some of my favourites!

I purchased the "All in one Makeup Kit" which supposedly only takes five minutes to transform you into your desired look...however being more realistic it takes me much longer as my skin isn't as even as all those models in her photos but hey we can try, right? even at that these products are amazing quality, they smell really great and the girls at the counter are always very helpful, making sure you choose the right products for your skin tone and needs!

The Kit is priced at €65.00 which may seem like a lot at first but if you look at everything you get in the kit, the price is actually very good value!

One of my favourite products is the Wonder glow, while this is just a sample size a little goes a long way with this product! It can be worn on its own, under or over your makeup to create a glowing  look!

No.2 ST. TROPEZ 

 Self tan and gradual tan 

One Word.... amazing! 

I've tried so many different tans throughout my teen years and it has taken me this long to find the one tan that I can't fault. Everything from the scent to the ease of application makes this tan my number one!

If you want a tan that builds up gradually creating a sun kissed glow then you should opt for the Gradual Everyday Body Lotion, this tan builds up very evenly and gives a stunning glow to the skin. While a lot of tans mask your skin tone, this tan is different  it simply gives your natural skin tone a healthy sun kissed glow.For a deeper tan the best one to go for is the Self Tan Bronzing Lotion you can wash it off within an hour but if you want a darker tan then I would suggest leaving it on overnight.

No. 3 Bellamianta Tanning Mitt

By far the best mitt I've ever tried! The easiest and most even application. The velvet texture allows for a streak free and even finish. Retailing at the reasonable price of €9.95, This tanning mitt is a must have for any tan fanatic... Trust me! It'll make your tanning life so much easier!

No.4 Bioxidea - 24 Hour Miracle Face Mask 

http://bioxidea.com

I only found out about this face mask this Christmas when I received it as a gift off my boyfriend because he said I might stop giving out about "all my spots" if this works... how charming I know ! But on a serious note I have seen some improvements in the texture of my skin, my skin feels smoother I haven't had any major breakouts which is unusual especially coming up to my time of the month.. so it makes me wonder is it the mask having miraculous results or is it just pure luck! 

This pack comes with three face masks, some people recommend to use it coming up to special occasion to make sure your skin is in top condition.

2017- Life And Creative Goals

"To be well travelled is not to have been to every destination in the world, but it is to be a person that takes from those experiences in each destination" 

My 2017 journey ......

While I have lazed about the last few months I have realised that I have lost sight of what I wanted to achieve in 2016... 

After returning home from Barcelona it all suddenly came to a halt! My online presence took a hit, some may say that it is a good thing to take a step back from social media from time to time, of course it is. The problem is I took a huge step back. I lost my motivation to post frequently and instead of being something that made me excited to get home and get started on, I just shrugged off any form of creative inspiration and let it spiral throughout the end of 2016.

My 2017 GOALS

- Take my Instagram, Youtube and blog to the next level  

- Post more frequently 

-Try sushi

-Cook more

-Work harder

- Learn how to drive (like seriously have to!)

-Start updating my Art Portfolio

-Travel more in Ireland 

- Look into college courses / apply 

-Eat cleaner and exercise more 

-Plan a holiday with my boyfriend 

- Have a girly getaway

-Learn to love the way I look more 

-Make a difference in someones life 

-Volunteer for a Charity

- Smile and enjoy the little things more

So yes 2017 will hopefully be my year! and however many times someone says that or writes it down in a blog post... I really do mean it! 

That girl who set up her Youtube channel and posted her first fashion inspired picture on Instagram in 2014 needs to return and this year. The year of 2017 

Is hopefully her year .......

What are your goals this year?
