What I'm loving this week :)

Omg its couture week! Ive been watching with drool running down my face imagining ever owning a piece of couture. By far Versace blew me away and so did Ellie Saab, it was a deep contrast to the modern woman and the nostalgia of old glamour when women needed a ball gown for a special occassion. So jealous!

Also I got a few wee bargains in the zara sale. I called in to collect an order so I wouldnt get distracted, I got distracted regardless and ended up leaving with a beautiful pair of jade green trousers with the most amazing gold zip detailing along the top. The fit is perfect and it is just that extra attention to detail that makes the whole difference. The very soft and comfortable grey loose fit jumper is just perfect for what I was looking for, it can be worn both up and down. The shoes are killer! Omg I am in love with them! They make me feel so powerful and in control, if I was a businesswoman then I would wear these to the boardroom to show that I mean business, adore them! The shoes were £19.99, the trousers £17.99 and the top only £7.99.

What would complete this look would be this amazing knecklace from Sugar and Style that you can find here. Sorry I couldnt get an image, either my phone or the blogger app is playing up. Actually the new updated blogger app is rubbish!

Has anybody else been shopping at the sales? What did you pick up? I'd love to hear :)

My eBay steals :)

Hello lovelies :)
It's been a while I know! Finished the last of my uni exams and went to London all in the same week, and now I've started the new term of uni (I'm 2nd year at QUB studying ancient history and English FYI) and its just a matter of disciplining myself to try and do a post every day, if not every other day.
So I thought that there was no better way to get back into the swing of things by introducing some pieces of my wardbrobe and to show off my personal style, that I can't really describe to be honest.
These beautiful pair of shoes are from river island that I got off eBay, no more than £25 including delivery and are brand new! Im keeping them for the summer, or just drier weather, but I have the perfect white dress that I got in the asos sale (I'll do another post on that after) that im saving these for. I think that they will be the perfect partner on a lovely spring or summers day for a lazy afternoon picnic. They are not too high yet the straps and diamonte detail give it that extra glamour, and the cherry design just give that retro 1950's feel that I love!
Ahhh I cant wait to wear these beauties :)
