I am totally in holiday mode at the moment when it comes to my choices for Spring Summer as my husband and I have booked our Summer Holiday. Everything I am buying or lusting after has to fit into my holiday wardrobe somehow whether for beach or bar. I have been in love with this label for a couple of years now ever since I saw of piece of theirs on One Tree Hill. Their bohemian aesthetic and wearable styles fit both my personality and style perfectly. I don't think I have seen a piece yet that I don't adore. Worn by all those Bohemian Style Stars the label has gained quite a few followers and has been spotted on everyone from Alessandra Ambrosio to Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens, who is a big fan.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpSpEwHEKzE9xqLbLtkEGwyf_XNq9l-1sOGPRg-AIzdrAv6Vmu0M_VKIofq6khlwwNvuF2wFchagzjxFWbS2bavDVht96jlU0SFkTsoU91c1PUWaECQ5j5ZaWBwaY2ZxVH5_n1oTTgDOI/s640/yhst-81269699784480_2203_212122309.jpg" width="426" /></div>The brand is available from many online outlets but this one in particular I found on <a href="http://www.shopthetrendboutique.com/">The Trend Boutique</a> and happens to be on sale at the moment, for $104.99. Always a plus! I am so completely obsessed with this dusky rose colour, it's probably my favourite colour to wear. I am hoping that this will be one of the pieces squeezed into my suitcase (which no doubt will be overflowing) come holiday time.Maehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17673686266036348409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993685219057335854.post-31150301163453182292012-04-12T12:30:00.000+01:002012-04-12T12:30:37.973+01:00A CelebrationFebruary was a big month for us this year with plenty of celebrations. My husband received his citizenship and then the following week was not only Valentine's Day but also our 4 year Wedding Anniversary on the 11th. We decided to hit the club in order to dance away our stress, have a couple of drinks and enjoy being with each other. It is not something we do alot, I have to be honest. We don't regularly have babysitters and we both feel like money is so tight that we would rather spend it on something other than alcohol. However the time does come every now and again where we throw caution to the wind, splurge a little and go wild.<br />
I wore this Black River Island playsuit which I borrowed from my sister teamed with a black studded belt which came from a River Island maxi skirt I have. I wore these fab Aldo platforms which I adore. They are so comfortable and so easy to wear. <br />

Unfortunately due to the rush we were in to leave the house I didn't get many pictures and my camera was on the wrong setting so these pictures aren't even that great but I guess, that's they way it goes.<br />
I am sorry this post is only going up now but I literally forgot it was there, ready to go.

I love tattoos and have done all my life. I began planning my first tattoo when I was about 12 which I then got when I was 20. For the last year I have been planning my next tattoo down to the final little details and I hope to get it done very soon, well at least before I go on holidays this year. While planning my second tat I have also planned further down the line and have planned in detail number 3 and have ideas for 4, 5, 6 and 7. Is that crazy, Ha! Anyway during all my tattoo research Ms. Erin Wasson's tattoo style is one that I adore and encompasses pretty much everything I love in a tattoo. Major Tat Envy<br />

Complete luxury. The Selection of Sunglasses that Dita has is beyond AMAZING and yes I would take them all but the Supa Dupa are my pair of choice (for this week anyway). I love my sunglasses and these would make a fabulous addition to my collection. Of all on offer these are one of the less expensive pairs with the cost of some running into the E750 range so at least my dream choices are affordable if I save for a year or so..<br />

Having finally gotten rid of the blonde hair and returned to a gorgeous black she decided to post some twitter pictures of her new style. Not only did I notice that her hair is now AMAZING again but the other factor that caught my eye was her top. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdkcOmBEbWN97FEUWIr0tFhJ91Fi9QZyksJQMlfAX1WQvz7gKDZQWagqT8xfAfjYDxjh9Js0O4pPcgb3-mVtwIM7EAseQEKu8J1lwgfSzQi-wGkUFYsx6e6gIBqEieASa0LMzQeMvfLuE/s1600/tumblr_m1t0neSxMz1qgy8r3o1_500.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdkcOmBEbWN97FEUWIr0tFhJ91Fi9QZyksJQMlfAX1WQvz7gKDZQWagqT8xfAfjYDxjh9Js0O4pPcgb3-mVtwIM7EAseQEKu8J1lwgfSzQi-wGkUFYsx6e6gIBqEieASa0LMzQeMvfLuE/s640/tumblr_m1t0neSxMz1qgy8r3o1_500.png" width="640" /></a></div>I love it. I have it! And guess what, so can you. Rihanna is wearing River Island. Rihanna was in River Island HQ about a month ago, so i presume she picked it up then. As River Island is my favourite store I know the depth of the love the store has for Rihanna with the large selection of Rihanna tshirts available in store but little did I know she loved River Island back, until now. I love that she's wearing high street and something that all of us can acquire. When I saw that picture of Rihanna in RI HQ the first thoughts that went through my mind were collaboration line. Oh the possibilities. Wouldn't that be just beyond amazing.<br />
Anyway you too can steal Rihanna's style <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/Online/women/t-shirts--vests--sweats/vests/grey-rolling-stones-print-tank-top-616208" target="_blank">here</a> with this fab River Island Rolling Stones Tank<br />

It's taken a major comeback in terms of style with celebrities and bloggers everywhere stocking up on lots and lots of gold. From finger adorned with layered rings to the major arm swag displayed by style stars everywhere. I have already touched a little on the subject with various post on my girl, Rihanna and her ever gorgeous collection of gold pieces, which she mixes up from her every day style to her <a href="http://ribbonspearlsanddaisychains.blogspot.com/2012/02/honourable-mention.html" target="_blank">Red Carpet fabulousness</a>. For this post I wanted to show you a few pictures of layered rings that have majorly caught my eye and had me lusting after some serious gold. These are pictures I have come across on Tumblrs and Pinterest some I am unsure of their exact origins.<br />

To die for!!<br />
What do you think about this layering trend? Are you obsessed with gold too? <br />

Her gorgeous Ombred wavy cropped hair complemented her subtle makeup and simple jewellery. Her nude peep toes only elongating her tanned legs. I have never noticed before how beautiful and blue her eyes are and this whole look with the careful selection of colours just made them pop even more.<br />

Generally my objects are desire are fashion picks, however, this week I am wanting some concert tickets. For the Jay-Z and Kanye West "Watch the Throne" tour.<br />

</tbody></table>My Best dressed of the night, Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad. Wowza. She's is absolutely flawless.<br />
I am slightly unsure of whether I prefer Jessica Chastain in Alexander McQueen or Milla Jovovich in Elie Saab Couture. Such completely different dresses worn by completely different women but equally so gorgeous. And who could not love George Clooney's "personal Oscar", Stacy Keibler in Marchesa. The colour of this dress with her skin tone and hair looked like spun gold. Truly fabulous. If it wasn't for the flower on the hip, this would have been my number 1. <br />

I also thought that Melissa McCarthy, Maria Menunous, Viola Davis looked stunning. <br />

I have <a href="http://ribbonspearlsanddaisychains.blogspot.com/2011/10/feather-fetish.html" target="_blank">previously posted</a> about this blog and I am sure that I will do so again. I am so inspired by this blog and <a href="http://spellsjewellery.blogspot.com/2012/02/freedom-in-solitude.html" target="_blank">this post</a> is no different. The picture immediately caught my eye and brought my daughter's question straight back into my mind.<br />

I always have been. Dreaming of how I think life should be, dreaming of the future, dreaming of when things may be a little better. I feel like sometimes my mind doesn't make sense and that my living in my dreams and in the future is disrupting my present. Not living for the moment, the day and all that. This picture on Spell and the Gypsy spoke right to my dreams. The feeling of freedom. The peace of mind. That deep breath that I take when I see a picture that speaks to me like this. I can't really explain it, what it really is. A dream for things to be like it is in this picture. Organic (not in the food sense), free, easy, to know who you are in life and where you're going, not just having an idea of where you want to end up. I worry sometimes that I am lost. I don't know who "I" am anymore. That I've lost my path and I am unsure of how to find it again. I need to live more for today, take it an run with it and stop searching for some ideal that I dream will finally make me happy....Maehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17673686266036348409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993685219057335854.post-50730824266272911462012-02-24T13:01:00.000+00:002012-02-24T13:01:03.159+00:00LOVE, WANT, NEED, HAVE TO HAVEFor any of you who have read my blog before, on a Friday I like to post my lust worthy item of the week. I call it my LOVE, WANT, NEED, HAVE TO HAVE. Everybody sees things every day that they like/love but unfortunately sometimes are unable to buy them. Obsessions grow (well for me anyway) and those items lusted after turn into a situation of HAVE TO HAVE! Sometimes we may be able to purchase those items (such as <a href="http://ribbonspearlsanddaisychains.blogspot.com/2011/11/love-want-need-have-to-have_18.html">these</a>) as they are within our reach, price wise or they may be within a local store, other times we may have to settle on a highstreet piece inspired by our loved item (see <a href="http://ribbonspearlsanddaisychains.blogspot.com/2011/07/love-want-needhave-to-have-helmut-lang.html">here</a> and <a href="http://ribbonspearlsanddaisychains.blogspot.com/2011/08/love-want-need-have-to-have-isabel.html">here</a>)and for those other unfortuate occassions they may always have to remain a loved and lost item (<a href="http://ribbonspearlsanddaisychains.blogspot.com/2011/08/love-want-need-have-to-have.html">I literally shed a tear</a>) or something we will continue to Love and Want (<a href="http://ribbonspearlsanddaisychains.blogspot.com/2011/11/love-want-need-have-to-have.html">like this</a>). <br />
This week I am seriously lusting after these Steve Madden ankle booties available from <a href="http://www.endless.com/Steve-Madden-Womens-Tblanket-Moccasin/dp/B004NAVW6Y/ref=cm_sw_r_fa_dp#">Endless</a>.<br />

I am so seriously in love with these booties. They are so perfect for the transition into Summer and even through the Summer in Ireland, as we all know Ireland doesn't really do Summer, not in the typical sense anyway. The perfect mix between Moccasin and a bootie. The subtle addition of the Aztec print on the turn down. These will be added to my wardrobe very soon and will be a very much loved pair of shoes, I promise. These will also be appearing in outfit posts over the next couple of months so stay tuned to see if you appreciate how I style them. </div><div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Do you like these booties?

Obviously Rihanna's outift was a stage outfit for a live performance so there was an element of dramatic effect so my outfit is a slightly more wearable and everyday outfit which will suit the streets of Dublin a little better, sans the paint splatters. Check it out,<br />

Would you wear this outfit? Do you love the layering of gold jewellery as much as I do?Maehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17673686266036348409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993685219057335854.post-13710351172985570552012-02-22T17:52:00.000+00:002012-02-22T17:52:40.824+00:00Return of the TimsLike many others I was curled up on my couch last night watching the Brits. For one I love to watch music awards shows and the Grammy's for some reason have still yet to be shown on the pathetic channels that I possess, secondly I love live music especially when the likes of Adele is singing and getting interviewed. Her voice is amazing and she seems like she has the most amazing sense of humour (the finger gesture aimed at the suits). And thirdly anything and I mean anything the Rihanna is a part of I feel like if I miss it I will miss something important. As you know my obsession for Rihanna is a strong one.<br />

So last night watching Rihanna's Brit performance I was instantly drawn to her outfit, naturally. A scruffy sweatshirt, some white denim hot pants and Timberlands.<br />

</tbody></table>Not something you would usually find attractive or sexy but to me, I loved it. I used to own a pair of Timberlands and literally wore them to death. I think there is something very sexy about a non typically attractive outfit and clunky pair of shoes. One of the reasons "The Boyfriend Trend" or Masculine Tailoring has become so standard in fashion these days. A tight white t, a pair of boyfriend jeans and a pair of high tops for example. For a few years now converse and vans have featured heavily in the wardrobes of so many, me for one and also those of my sisters. Store Collections have grown and different styles have been added and nowadays I don't know many people who don't own at least one pair of cons or vans. I have definietly noticed more of this trend emerging with high tops sneakers returning to the high street and celebrities rocking the sportswear high top with an everyday outfit. It's like a merging of <a href="http://ribbonspearlsanddaisychains.blogspot.com/2011/05/trend-for-week.html" target="_blank">Urban Sports/Utility</a> with the boyfriend trend and tailoring.<br />

This outfit is my style and definitely something I would rock. It's a perfect Summer in Ireland outfit. So in honour of Rihanna's return to the Tims I have picked a few pairs of shoes that are on my radar to rock this summer.<br />

I was really annoyed about it as it happened the day after i'd started preparing my Golden Globes post which meant not only was I unable to edit the post but i was also unable to post it. I missed the moment and the moments after for posting my dress favourites for the SAG awards and also the Grammys. In order to get back into the regular posting here is my Tuesday post of my Honourable Mention of the week, none other than the unnaurally beautiful Rihanna.<br />
<br />

Rihanna is in London for the Brits and took time out to attend Stella McCartney's showcasing for her Autumn Winter Evening Wear 2012 Collection during London Fashion Week. Wearing a stunning Emerald Green silk dress with open back and thigh high split, Rihanna in my opinion blew everyone out of the water.<br />

</tbody></table>Acessorising this fabulous Stella McCartney creation with simple gold jewelery layered on in such a sexy tantilising way, Rihanna looks awesome. She wears what looks like four different neck pieces, a collar of simple gold under an open at the front, neck cuff combined with a thinner chain and cross pendant along with what seems to be at the moment, a signature piece for the red carpet, her body chain, which you can also see on her back. I absolutely love this piece. She wore it previously at the Grammys in her Georgio Armani Collaboration dress. I have also seen Beyonce in the past wearing a similar piece. Sheer perfection. Along with the necklaces Rihanna layered up the simple gold rings on her fingers aswell as a thin banded finger tip ring, which again I love. Finishing her decked out fingers with some simple gold bangles, it is very clear to be seen that not only is Rihanna the Queen of accessorizing but she has a truly lust worthy jewelery collection as alot of the pieces she wears regularly. The dress is complemented so well with Rihanna's amazing legs pointed in a sexy pair of strappy gold sandals.<br />

</a></div>With Simple makeup, a nude lip and gold shimmery eyes Rihanna truly stands out as a Major style star. Her latest hair colour, sleek and her stiletto nails in true gold shimmer all finish this look perfectly. I wouldn't have worn it any differently and I acutally couldn't pick holes in this look even if I tried.<br />

I love that she can change up her grungy day style with fishnets and suspenders and then give a double whammy performance with such a sexy, sophisticated and beyond gorgeous dress for her red carpet style.

What does it all mean to you?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Do you look back on the last year and reminisce or forget the past and move full force ahead. To me it's important to do a little of both. I look at what I enjoyed in the last year and make sure I do more of that and try my best to eliminate what didn't work out. I go into the new year with goals that I want to achieve, like a yearly bucket list. I start to plan all the things that are important to me, like my little girl's birthday party, my summer holidays and any home improvements I want to do. I make out all the pieces of clothing that I want to invest in over the year aswell as everything else that I want for the year. It's my yearly wishlist. I will be doing a few of these wishlists over the next couple of weeks along with looking back on 2011 Red Carpets and all the outfits of choice that I have enjoyed, loved or remembered for some reason or other, all in preparation for the 2012 Red Carpets and Awards Season which is fast approaching.<br />
Hoping you all have started off the New Year Happy and Healthy and that all of your dreams for 2012 come true.<br />

Usually a day spent relaxing, enjoying family and the gifts received or like so many out there, shopping the sales. Unfortunately I wasn't shopping the sales, I was working the sales. It was INSANE! I have worked alot of sales over a great number of years and I have never seen anything like yesterday. Pure Madness.<br />

<br />
Dress, Cardigan, Boots and Hat - River Island<br />
I love the boho vibe of this entire look. The hat is my colour, the dress has a feather print and that cardi is divine. Everything about it is me, me, me...<br />
Jewellery - House of Harlow 1960<br />
Again with my favourite boho design jewellery. Again with that bangle. Ah I love it so much, it kills me that I still don't have it. January pay check, you are already spent. I have to have these pieces! <br />
I hope you like the outfit and that you all had a wonderful Christmas. If you hit the sales, you're very brave.

From the boho feel of the outfit, the comfort factor, adding to the fact that all the pieces I adore and are, as singular pieces, each divine. I also put together this outfit with the thoughts of wearing it again as an outfit and also mixing and matching the pieces with other items of my closet in order to make entirely different statements. The Jeffrey Campbell "Litas" are still one of my favourite pairs of shoes around at the moment. When I talked a little about them in my LOVE, WANT, NEED, HAVE TO HAVE post I said that alot of my outfit ideas over the next few months and running into the near year would all contain these beauts. I haven't varied from that at all. I think in "Lita" style. It's quickly becoming a problem as I am yet to buy a pair :(<br />
Anyway, here is my Christmas Day Outfit<br />
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><div style="height: 600px; position: relative; width: 600px;"><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/new_years_day_outfit/set?.embedder=2365077&.svc=blogger&id=40594706"><img alt="New Years Day Outfit" border="0" force="1" height="600" src="http://embed.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/cid/40594706/id/kklFrF4j4RG_4VZZ0a5KTg/size/y.jpg" title="New Years Day Outfit" width="600" /></a></div><br />
Skirt Kimono, Top - All River Island<br />
I love this outfit in its entirety. The skirt is a fabulous Waterfall style skirt with a shorter front and longer back. It's a beautiful colour which I can carry through to summer and it's a fab lightweight silk fabric, perfection! The Kimono is so beautiful. The flowers are like velvet and the tassels are divine. It really reminds me of a vintage kimono or even more updated, a Winter Kate piece. Either way, it looks way more expensive and designer looking than the price I paid for it. The vest top then is just a staple piece that is needed in every one's wardrobe.<br />
Hat - Topshop<br />
I love this hat, I want this hat, I need this hat.<br />
Shoes - Jeffrey Campbell "Lita" Booties<br />
See <a href="http://ribbonspearlsanddaisychains.blogspot.com/2011/11/love-want-need-have-to-have_18.html" target="_blank">here </a>in order to read about my obsession.<br />
Jewellery - House of Harlow 1960<br />
Obsessed. There really are no words. This bangle was on my Christmas List. Will I get it, probably not :( After Christmas when all the hype has died down and all the January bills are paid I will buy it for myself. I have to...<br />
Lipgloss - Nars Ophelia<br />
I hope you like this outfit. There will definitely be pictures to come for this particular one, so stay tuned for that.<br />
What will ya'll be wearing on Christmas Day? Do you go glam or comfortable for the day?</div>Maehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17673686266036348409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993685219057335854.post-64873103189085542252011-12-22T11:46:00.000+00:002011-12-22T11:46:49.782+00:00The **X in Xfactor Was RevealedSo yes, I like to post about everything that is in my head even if it is a little late. I should have posted this last week but seriously, I have a child and Christmas in Retail is so hectic is doesn't really leave alot of time for anything, especially blogging. So anyway, the Xfactor has finished and I am crowning the beautiful, sassy, sophisticated and oh so damn gorgeous Kelly Rowland the undoubted winner of the style stakes. These are her dresses from the Finale Weekend.<br />
<br />
Week 10:<br />
Saturday: Nicholas Oakwell Dress, Crisian and McCaffrey Shoes, De Beers Jewellery with an Amanda Wakely for Ernest Jones Cuff<br />
This is such a beautiful dress. I love the collar detailing and the plunging neckline. The colour is gorgeous and really suits the beauty that is wearing the dress. I love the slight pleating detail on the skirt and the way it falls is so pretty<br />
<br />
Sunday: Bespoke Julien MacDonald Couture Dress, Giuseppe Zanotti and H. Stern Jewellery<br />
Saving the best until last. WOW!! You can tell this dress is couture. The details on this dress is superb. The fit, the design, the colour the hem line are all so truly gorgeous. I love it. Oh if only all of us could afford bespoke couture designs, then we'd all look Awesome all the time. <br />

So that's it for Xfactor for another year. Whether Kelly will be back for another year is yet to be seen, but if she is, you know she's gonna smash it.<br />
I'm delighted for Little Mix who won and for Tulisa who genuinely seemed to be emotionally invested in the group. I love their style as a girl band and their voices are spectacular. When they sang Beyonce's If I were a boy my hairs stood on end and that's when I realised how good they really were. I'll get their album once it comes out, that is if they stay true to their style and don't get caught up in the hype and change who they are.<br />

Christmas Eve for so many is spent preparing the final pieces in the puzzle for the day itself, whether that be getting to the destination where you are spending Christmas Day, picking up the last few gifts in the freezing cold or wrapping all the presents and getting those little surprises ready. Whatever it is that you will be doing on Christmas Eve you know you will need to be comfortable, warm and feeling extra snuggly. Thus my Christmas Eve Outfit.<br />
<div style="height: 600px; position: relative; width: 600px;"><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/christmas_eve_outfit/set?.embedder=2365077&.svc=copypaste&id=39454270"><img alt="Christmas Eve Outfit" border="0" height="600" src="http://embed.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/cid/39454270/id/NExbdeUO4RGHxgcLM0hDtg/size/y.jpg" title="Christmas Eve Outfit" width="600" /></a></div><br />
Shoes - Minnetonka Moccasins<br />
I am so deeply in love with Moccasins especially the Minnetonka brand. I could wear these every single day of my life and be happy. I will be purchasing a few pairs of these, hopefully, in the upcoming months. <br />
Everything Else - River Island<br />
I love this outfit. If there was any complete outfit that could describe my everyday style perfectly, this is it. Everything from the beautiful jacket, the colouring of the jeans, the little pom pom on the top of the hat and the gorgeous snuggly cardigan, is me in a nutshell. I really wanted this coat but unfortunately by the time I got the chance to buy my winter coat it was out of stock, SOB!! I got another River Island coat instead which I am obsessed with. <br />
I hope you like the outfit. What will you be doing on Christmas Eve, and more importantly, What will you be wearing?Maehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17673686266036348409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993685219057335854.post-54080277518052053672011-12-20T19:03:00.000+00:002011-12-20T19:03:22.859+00:00The Excitement BeginsMy Christmas Excitement begins on December 8th. This is when I fish all my boxes and tree out of the shed in order to decorate my home. The tree goes up, the baubles, ribbon and lights are carefully placed in an orderly fashion and Santa graces my presence once more by taking up pride of place in front of my fire place (which doesn't contain a working fire). Candles are lit, lights twinkle and the Christmas Spirit once again fills my home. I am a Christmas Lover. It is my favourite time of the year. I love the magic! For as long as I can remember Christmas has always been a happy occasion and has been focused solely on the importance of family, love and just being together. Presents are just a happy bonus. This year while I decorated my house I played the new Michael Buble Christmas album which completely added to the vibe. I now cannot wait until the day itself for a few different reasons. This is the first year that Amina really understands the concept of Santa which has truly brought the magic back to the day. We will spend the day at my Mum's house with the family which I always love. Eating, drinking and laughing together, to me what it's all about. And I'm getting the boots I want ;)<br />

Practically everyone I know gets together with their girlies for a Christmas Night out Blowout before spending the holidays with the family. This is my pick for a Girl's Night Out Outfit. <br />
<br />
<div><div style="height: 600px; position: relative; width: 600px;"><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/girls_christmas_night_out/set?.embedder=2365077&.svc=blogger&id=40900205"><img alt="Girls Christmas Night Out" border="0" height="600" src="http://embed.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/cid/40900205/id/7AyGXe8o4RG9cAl8TqM1oQ/size/y.jpg" title="Girls Christmas Night Out" width="600" /></a></div></div><br />
Shoes and Dress - River Island<br />
I love this dress. Simple As! The colour is beautiful, that perfect shade on me. I much prefer a navy to a black, I find it much softer and flattering. The lace is perfection, such a hot trend for the season. There are so many lace dresses out there it's hard to choose your favourite. And the cut outs, I've already talked about how much I love cut outs on the waist of a dress in my last <a href="http://ribbonspearlsanddaisychains.blogspot.com/2011/12/x-in-xfactor-continued.html">XFactor post</a>. Just a little added sex appeal. <br />
And those shoes, ah, those shoes *Collective Sigh*<br />
Clutch - <a href="http://www.accessorize.com/">Accessorize</a><br />
The staple clutch, big enough to hold everything, fabulous colour and the quilted design. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!<br />
Bangle - "<a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002156498217">Bellerina</a>" at the Ivory Closet<br />
No need for an explanation, just because...<br />
Makeup - Blusher by YSL, Lipgloss by Nars and Nail Varnish Nicole by OPI - Not a Gold Bigger<br />
I love this Blush, such a perfect shade of pink. The gloss, who doesn't love a Super Orgasm (Yes, I said it). The nail varnish, I just like that shade. I found the picture of the eye makeup on <a href="http://pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> and it immediately jumped out at me. The colour matched the outfit perfectly, while being smokey enough for a big night out.<br />
<br />
I hope you like this outfit. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to do a Christmas Girl's Night Out this year as I was working, maybe next year. For those of you who are heading out, be safe and wrap up warmly. Keep an eye out for Tuesday when I will be posting the next in my Christmas Outfit Series ~ Christmas Eve.Maehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17673686266036348409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993685219057335854.post-65975365332635444372011-12-15T19:04:00.000+00:002011-12-15T19:04:49.962+00:00The **X in XFactor ContinuedOk so yes, this post is a little late and should have gone up last week but I work in Retail and it's the busiest time of the year so I have put the blog slightly on the back burner while working my tush off. This is the second last of my Xfactor Posts, I will cover the final weekend on a separate post.<br />
As per usual Kelly "Smashed it" when it came to the fashion competition between her and Tulisa.<br />
<br />
From Left Week 7:<br />
Saturday:<br />
Sass & Bide Spring/Summer 2012 Dress, Christian Louboutin Shoes, Lorraine Schwartz Earrings, Rings from Asprey and De Beers<br />
OMG, OMG, OMG I literally DIE for this dress. I took such a sharp intake of breathe when I saw this dress that my husband had to ask me if I was ok. ITS AMAZING!!! I am now truly obsessed with Sass & Bide's 2012 Spring Summer Collection. (I will be doing loads more posts on the line coming up over the next few months)<br />
<br />
Sunday:<br />
Philip Armstrong Dress, Giuseppe Zanotti Shoes, MCL Earrings and Dolce and Gabbana Bangles<br />
I love the colour.....that's about it really. Not sure of this shape of Kelly at all. She looks like a goddess in the maxi styles but just don't love the "Irish Dancing Style" of this dress or the Atelier Versache dress in Week 1 (<a href="http://ribbonspearlsanddaisychains.blogspot.com/2011/11/x-in-xfactor.html" target="_blank">Seen Here</a>)<br />

</a></div> Week 8:<br />
Saturday: Georges Chakra Dress, Christian Louboutin Shoes, Lorraine Schwartz Earrings, Asprey Rings and Georg Jensen Bangles <br />
Not a massive fan of this either. I would have preferred it without the unnecessary white ruffle on the shoulder.<br />
<br />
Sunday:Hugo Boss Dress, Giuseppe Zanotti Shoes, Lorraine Schwartz Earrings and Bangles and Asprey Rings<br />
I really love this dress, very ethereal, Grecian and very beautiful however I think had it been accessorized more in line with the style of the dress, I think it could have been breathtaking. A simple gold strappy Jimmy Choo instead of the blue Giuseppe Zanottis would have done the trick. <br />

</a></div>Week 9:<br />
Saturday: Osman Dress, Nicholas Kirkwood Shoes and Georg Jensen Jewellery<br />
Love this. It rocks. I am getting more into the cut outs on the waists of dresses and seriously with washboard abs like hers, why not rock the cuts. Love the monochrome with the harsher shapes and angles of the slits and the shoulders teamed with the straight fringe and the poker straight hair. Perfect<br />
<br />
Sunday:<br />
Jenny Packham Dress, Nicholas Kirkwood Shoes and MCL Jewellery<br />
My Sweet Divine. PERFECTION in every way. If only every dress looked like this and every person to wear a dress looked this good.<br />

Kelly Rowland has truly put herself into Style Icon status this series for me. As ya'll know <a href="http://ribbonspearlsanddaisychains.blogspot.com/2011/06/all-hail-queen-b.html">Queen B</a> has rocked it for a long time, in my opinion, but now Kelly has thrust herself in to my Style Star Rankings. Props to her and her stylist, who is, by the looks of things, Fantastic.Maehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17673686266036348409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993685219057335854.post-83789021639917226042011-12-13T12:54:00.000+00:002011-12-13T12:54:16.367+00:00Honourable MentionFor this Week's Honourable Mention I have chosen the Stunning Eva Longoria. The Actress was pictured attending the Noble Gift Gala at the Dorchester in London last Saturday night, where she and Jermaine Jackson presented Mariah Carey with an award for her Humanitarian and Charity work and all proceeds for the event went to Eva's Charity, "The Eva Longoria Fund" which aims to provide aid to disadvantaged kids with health problems and the Latino Community.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> Wearing a beautiful and simple, fuchsia, J Mendel Dress with a plunging neckline an open back running into a slight train on the back, the beautiful Eva shone. Accessorizing with a fab Salvatore Ferragamo Clutch and Brian Atwood Pumps she definitely looked the part to chair the Gala.<br />

Keeping her makeup simple with a lined lip and her signature Lashings of Lashes with a messy updo, Eva truly looked beautiful. <br />

I am totally in love with this colour!Maehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17673686266036348409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993685219057335854.post-29327531491547223662011-12-11T12:00:00.001+00:002011-12-10T20:01:04.360+00:00Christmas Outfit Series ~ Work PartyI have decided to do this <i>Christmas Outfit Series</i> running over the next two weeks for a few reasons,<br />
(A) I always work out in advance what I want to wear and have it completely styled in my head. If a can't get a certain piece for the outfit, the whole idea gets scrapped and I start again.<br />
<br />
(B) In a way it's a type of Wishlist/Christmas list for myself which I make referrals too and also like to tick things off as I purchase or secure the different pieces. This Christmas list/Wishlist starts for me at the end of the summer, which to me is either after My Birthday or after my Foreign Holiday, whichever comes last. My lists comprise of Family Christmas Presents, My Christmas Wishlist and finally my Christmas Outfit List.<br />
<br />
(C) The final reason why I have done this list is, I get paid once before Christmas, thus meaning one pay check with which to purchase all needed. I have to work out what I want, What it's going to cost and which items I can mix and match throughout the Christmas period to give myself less stress and to also spend less. I always like to buy pieces that I can use alot. For example If I buy a statement piece which is expensive, I have to be able to wear it with a number of things in order to justify the cost.<br />
Okay so alot to take it, all my crazy ramblings in my head now down in print, so to the outfit. <br />

This is what I have in my head for my Work Christmas party.<br />
Blazer, Shorts, Top, Earrings and Ring - River Island<br />
I love this Blazer so much. Black, check, a little PU, check and versatile, definitely. The shorts okay a bright colour, not something that will go with everything but hey sometimes you have to go where the heart desires. They aren't ridiculously expensive so I can justify the spend. I can see these also being worn on Summer Holidays next year and also for Summer nights out with a nice bright white top. And just look at that top, the sequins on the racer back make it a statement however from the front it looks like a simple dark grey/navy silk vest. Versatile, of course!<br />
Shoes - Steve Madden<br />
A blue shoe, well it's kind of a MUST HAVE, not quite, but almost. To justify I will be buying the shoe from Penneys, I saw a pair on Thursday for 10 Euro.<br />
Bangles - "Bellerina" at The Ivory Closet.<br />
For this I don't need an excuse, "Just Because" is sufficient enough.<br />
Big lashes and a sparkly smokey eye (Dazzle Dust by Barry M), all because it's Christmas. This is what I imagine for the night. Whether it works out like this or not is yet to be seen, I will do a post next week on what I end up wearing. My next Outfit in my <i>Christmas Series</i> is one for your Girl's Night out, because everyone goes out with their girlfriends before Christmas. Stay tuned for that which I will post on Wednesday next week.<br />
So what will you be wearing for your Work Christmas Party? How do you justify your splurges?Maehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17673686266036348409noreply@blogger.com0
