Blog sale!

Hi guys! I'm having a blog sale, I need to get some spending money up for my holidays next month so here it goes! I though it would be easier than ebay as I do have a good few things and I will be adding to it. Im not sure how long i'll be keeping it open for but please keep in mind that I will be away from the 18th-25th June. Also, I currently have exams on in uni and teaching practise throughout June, so I will try and post these ASAP but will more than likely be at the weekend. Only open to UK and ROI residents only sorry!

 

 

Ok so everything will be 2nd class p+p royal mail to try and keep costs down.

I will charge £2.40 for each item but for the shoes they will be £4.00 without a box to keep costs down. If you are looking more than 1 item please email me or leave a message below and I will get back to you. I am thinking that if there is more than 1 item that can fit in one package then I will not charge additional prices, but if they need to be divided then I will have to charge extra but I will try everything I can to avoid this. Please email me for a price if you are ROI.

 

For the cosmetics because they are smaller I will only charge £1.00 for p+p, or if you buy an item of clothing and a cosmetic then there will not be an extra charge for the cosmetic.

 

Leave a comment below on what you would like and how many items and I will get back to you asap with the overall price, including delivery. I will also refund if delivery is lower than expected.

 

All necklaces will be £2.00 with a £1.00 delivery charge. If you are ordering more than one, there will be an additional 40p per item.

 

Everything to be paid by paypal please! And please pay as soon as you can, I am an understanding person so if you can't pay until payday then please let me know and it wont be a problem :) please send any questions to niamhg23@live.co.uk which is also my paypal address, thank you!

no7 eyeshadows brand new, never been used. A mixture of colours (sorry this picture doesnt do it much justice) matt and shimer shades, from a light beige, blue, green, brown and greyish black. Sorry but there is no description of the exact shades given.  £4.50

 

 

 

 

asos size 12 white tulip dress, BNWT. In perfect condition, there is a slight black marking that I have taken a picture off, but it is not very noticeable and Im sure that it will come out in the wash. Beautiful shape, quarter length sleeves, nips in at the waist with a voluminous bottom half and a tiny splt at the back. Very 1960's. it is quite see through however. Bought for £30, will sell for £15.

 

 

 

 

 

asos size 12 lace corset. this has only ben worn a handful of times, I'd say no more than 4 times if even. Beautiful shape, in perfect condition, zip runs down the front with moulded cups for support. Will sell for £8.

 

 

 

a pair of Pull and Bear oxblood leather look trousers. These are so ROCK N'ROLL! Size 12, skinny leg with low waist. zips at the bottom of each leg. Brand new with tags, these were bought on sale (£19.99 were originally £29.99 as the tag says) will sell for £13.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

size 14 Lipsy dress. This was bought about 3 years ago at over £100, and it has only been worn twice. For my pre-formal and one New Years a few years ago, Ive never found an appropiate occassion to wear this dress as it is a beautiful cocktail dress. The coulours are a mixture of blues, greys and silevers to this beautiful sea like effect, the only way I can describe it. I had red hair at the time and I always felt like a mermaid in it, daft I know! Gorgeous boned strapless design, really pulls you in and gives support. Some pleats that gives a sligh peplum effect. the layered effect of this dress is just beautifula and is very flattering on. It is difficult to describe and these images do it no justice, but trust me it is beautiful! In perfect condition and is like new,  it has been in my wardrobe with a plastic covering. I will sell this for £30 but I am open to any offers. A size 14 but I would say it would fit a 12.

 

 

  

H&M bag shorts. Size 12. In excellent condition, high waisted with turn ups on each leg, and a belt to be tied into a bow. will sell for £5.

 

 

 

 

 

A gorgeous Mad Men style top! Peplum in style with a beautiful metallic finish. It is hard to describe the colour, in one light it looks like an off white metallic but with a silver sheen to it. Bought in Dunnes stores for £15, will sell for £6.00. A side zip and decorative buttons to the back, I loved this but did not fit. Even though its a 12 I would say it would fit a 10 also. There is a slight make up stain that I have only noticed, but once washed this will come out.

 

 

 

 

A pair of black jaquared print trousers. Size 14 from Dorothy Perkins from the Lux line. Only worn 12, too baggy for me to get the desired fit. A slim leg, high waisted with gold zip detailing, they look so expensive and give such a luxurious feel to any outfit. I would say that they would be a regualr length, so 32" on the leg but these are not exact measurements!! Will sell for £8.

 

 

 

 

Pair of Stylistpick Britt black wedges that are SOLD OUT ONLINE! RRP £45, size 6. I will sell these for £20 (Also open to offers). Remember that they will not be sent with a box to keep costs down. They are too high for me, brand new as you can see, still with stickers. they have just been worn around the house.

 

H&M pink skirt, size 14. I love this skirt, a real mini skirt in length, unfortunately my legs aren't what they used to be :( well loved but in excellent condition so will sell for £4.00.

 

 

Asos geometric print skirt size 12. In excellent condition, 2 large pockets on the side and is a mini skirt. Will sell for £4.00

Oscars 2013 Jewels

Hello darlings!

 

 

So another quick post on the Oscars 2013 only this time its on the jewels! As all of the dresses were magnificent, you could barely get a sneaky peek at their shoes, which is always a shame so instead I've decided to focus on the diamonds! The lucky things not only get to wear custom made gowns or dresses straight off the catwalk, but they also get to wear hundreds of thousands, and sometimes millions worth of jewels!

 

 

So here are my top pick of last nights sparkle:

 

 

Jennifer Aniston wearing Fred Leighton, and a cheeky wee glance at her engagement ring, oh! But in love with these bracelets, beautiful.

 

 

Both Oscar winners of the night, Ann Hathaway and J-Law, opted to wear their chains backwards and this is a trend that will catch on. As somebody mentioned on twitter last night, the sound of clinking is everybody turning their chains backwards. I oddly like it. It adds drama. Drama is good. Ann wore Tiffany and J-Law (loving this name!) wore Chopard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Zoe Saldana's beautiful pearl dropped earrings on a string of diamonds add the right amount of glamour, sparkle and sophistication to that beautiful dress of hers. Drop earrings are always a must to ensure they will be seen and draws attention to the best proportions of your face; the jaw line, lips, cheekbones and eyes. These are Neil Lane.



 

 

 

Jessica Chastain's vintage Harry Winston diamonds just add to her overall old Hollywood glamour that she was emulating, and successfully if I may add. She was my favourite look of the whole night and could not get over how beautiful and dreamy she looked. I think this will definitely go down in Oscar fashion history. Stunning!

 

 

Now this I LOVED! Jen Garner has never really 'wowed' me in the past, her Gucci dress was gorgeous if a littly tricky on the proportions as the rouching at the back could have looked disastrous or that she was trying to be a butterfly, but somehow she made it work. this necklace however took my breath away. Look at it! Look at it in all of its glory! A proper princess necklace that looks like it has been borrowed from the vaults of Grace Kelly, it combines both the elements that is needed for royalty and a movie star that would have suited the late legendary icon perfectly! Good call Jen, good call!

 

 

 

 

So that is all for the Oscar 2013 talks. I havent seen much of the after party outifts but over all I have been somewhat underwhelmed by it all. Except for Jessica Chastain. It's all about her, shes the one! New style crush heeeeeey Jessica!

 

 

Bye lovelies!

Oscars 2013

Hello beauties!

Im going to do a very quick post on the Oscars last night and the best dressed! Im not gona lie, I was a wee bit let down by the choice of gowns this year. They were either all the same colour or same style, there was no real diversity and even though Ann Hathaway tried to channel Audrey Hepburn in Prada, I was so disappointed that there was no vintage dresses from the great couture houses archives. And not one Chanel dress. Is this the first year that there hasnt been Chanel on the red carpet? If Diane Kruger was there im sure she would have worn Chanel , I love that she doesnt have a stylist!


So the best dressed of the entire night goes to Jessica Chastain! She took my breath away, an absolute dream in Armani! I wouldve loved her to win the Oscar, she bounced into the film industry and every single role she has played has been amazing! I liked her in 'The Help' I fell in love with her in 'lawless'. I adore her!

 

I was so surprised with Stacy Kiebler! Not actually knowing much about her or her usual red carpet style, I was blown away by her Naeem Khan metallic dress. Every single design element of this dress complimented her perfectly! She upstaged her BF George Clooney and not many people can do that! When is he just going to marry the girl, shes the longest out of his beaus that has lasted this long, he's settling down!

 

Another blown away moment was my girl Catherine Zeta Jones! I love this woman! How beautiful was she in Zuhair Murad? I love Zuhair Murad, he is definitely King of dressing for the red carpet, all of his dresses have impact and lasting impressions that the Oscars require. Mrs Zeta Jones was looking ravishing in gold, and look at the detailing of that dress, I couldnt get over it! She is stunning, nothing put love for the woman!

I dont usually pay attention to the men, as a suit is a suit, but OMG Eddie Redmayne in Alexander McQueen. Beauty. That is all. I cant cope with this man.

 

 

 

 

I've said it once but I'm going to say it again, Jennifer Lawrence step away from Dior and that shape of dress. You wore it to the academys and to the Baftas, its getting boring! The dress is absolutely beautiful and you look like a floating princess in it but its been done, you're 22 so take braver risks and show off that figure of yours a la 2011 Calvin Klein red number. Sex bomb!  

 

 

                        

 

Im surprised for Anne Hathaway to ditch her fail safe favourite and BFFL Valentino for Prada, im sure he's not too happy! That is a bold and risky move and hope that her friendship with the Italian icon doesn't falter as these dresses are prepared MONTHS in advance with tons of fittings, last minute changes etc it's a long term commitment that you can't back out off last minute in fear of the backlash of the fashion house and that they may not lend in future occasions. Im tempted to know what the Valentino dress was though, maybe she thought she would clash with Jennifer Aniston's Red Valentino gown? But I do think that this is the first Prada that an Oscar winner has worn when collecting an award, I need to double check.
