Braving the Storm in Galway City on a Wednesday Night 

(The things we do for Fashion) !!

Started the night with a visit to Style in the City 2 located in The Stock Exchange on Shop Street... What a Great Event!

The Top floor there had some beautiful boutiques set up, so you could have a little shop before the fashion show started.  First i spotted the beautiful headpieces made by Fiona Managan.  This is Fiona on the left a very talented lady.

This one had to be my favorite!  Can you imagine how much work goes into this AMAZING....

Her headpieces have been worn by Marietta Doran, Rosanna Davison & Zara Phillips to name a few .....   available from www.fionamangan.com check them out!
  

Next i spotted Cotton Face a boutique in Spiddle that has really FAB and Difference pieces.  They have the most adorable Vintage Pieces and a huge range of beautiful accessories  Chcck them out online www.cottonface.com.

A great evening and check out the Flea Market on this Saturday where Cotton Face will be!

Next we went to The House Hotel.  A beautiful place to have Cocktails and Food with your buddies... Great a spacious with comfortable seating was lovely to just sit back relax and catch up.

Couldn't recommend this highly enough, the food was FAB.  Cocktails where delicious and i even asked for a fresh strawberry lemonade and the bartender made it for me.   Staff where so helpful and friendly just what we needed to finish our lovely night off.  Located in a great location in the heart of Galway City for anyone that coming to visit or stay.  www.thehousehotel.ie

Happy Friday Everyone have a GREAT Weekend xoxo

 Welcome to this weeks ... Whats in the Shops - Wednesday!?!

So today i took a trip to the Galway Shopping Centre, i quiet enjoy this place as its easy to get too and parking is free.

This week i looked for some outfits for those Christmas parties and outings coming up.  My first port of call was Miss Selfridges and spotted two nice party outfits.  Check them out.

Next i popped over to Dorothy Perkins and found this FAB coat for 90 euro in Light Grey will go with everything and something you will have in your wardrobe forever !!  Put this cute sparkly dress underneath with a sparkly silver clutch and you'll be the bell of the ball....

Last i headed to Wallis and found some adorable scarfs from 16 euro that would make even the plainest outfit fancy...and cute wool jacket that would be fab over anything!

There are some nice coffee places there with Costa coffee located in the Bookstore and a large Cafe area too.  There are lots of other stores here too.  Overall a very enjoyable shopping experience.

Happy Shopping Ladies xoxo

I am loving Real Techniques make up brushes.  Designed by top make up artists Samantha & Nicola Chapman the brushes themselves have unbelievable quality.  Ultra plush, synthetic bristles are hand cut and 100% cruelty free and really affordable prices.

From working in the modelling industry and studying make up artistry in California i have used many make up brushes and mainly stuck to MAC but since using these i have changed by foundation brush, blusher brush and powder brush to these.  I am using the Stippling Brush as my Foundation Brush, Blush Brush of course for Blusher and Powder Brush for my powder to set my foundation for the day.  Also i use the Retractable Bronzer brush for my bronzer and to pop in my bag if im going out.  Have to say this one is probably my favorite of the collection.   I really think you have to use them to see what i mean.  My foundation goes on flawless and sits better for the day and ive always found with good brushes you use less product and get a better results.

I purchased mind in Flanagan's Pharmacy, Shop Street, Galway and they are on Sale at the moment so check these out.  Also available in Boots and prices start from 12euro.

Like & Share my Blog on Facebook and be in with a chance to win a Retractable Bronzer Brush.

Good Luck Ladies xoxo

What's in the Shops - Wednesday 

Well its thats time of the week again and today i visited Chez Val to see the CaptianTortue Clothing and Jewelery available.  A great idea where Valerie has set up a Boutique in her back garden called Chez Val.

Beautifully set out and such a lovely way to shop.  Captian Tortue also has clothing parties where they can come to your house or come to the Chez Val and you will be certainly looked after.  If you wanted to have a coffee morning with friends or an evening feel free to contact Valerie on 086 320 7202 or email valerie.captaintortue@yahoo.com.

Clothing where to start......  i think the pictures do the talking really and with prices starting from 50euro..... here are so FAB pieces i picked from the Collection

Have to say this Jumper was probably one of my favorite pieces !!!

I came across this gorgeous sleeveless woolen waistcoat with detachable fur collar.  Would be great to perk up anything in our wardrobe this winter.

Totally fell in love with this Jumper has a metallic sheen to it.  Super cool V Neck Jumper/Dress with leggings and some nice chunky boots....

This Waterfall Cardigan is available in Black & Navy can be worn many ways as it wraps around your neck or can just be left to fall.... would go with a multitude of things .. A Great buy!!
