Honorable Mention

For this Week's honourable mention I have chose the Stunning Nicole Richie. Photographed on Sunday night in Los Angeles at the annual Museum of Contemporary Art Gala.

Nicole is wearing a Julien McDonald Autumn Winter 2011 Dress. The gorgeous mauve colour compliments her skin tone perfectly and I love the exquisite leaf detail which decorates the bust and high neck. With an open back and a floor length sweeping tail to the dress, I literally cannot fault it one bit.

 As Always Nicole, the best ambassador for her own brand, accessorized the dress with her own House of Harlow 1960 'Olivia' python clutch, silver strappy heels and silver jewellery. Absolutely fabulous.

Her makeup was absolutely flawless with a soft smokey eye and pink lip.

J'Adore this outfit, everything about it. It's Ethereal, it's pretty and classy but yet Nicole is still able to show off her personality with the backless detail and her Angel Wings tattoos on show. It's something I would love to wear myself and I wouldn't style it any different. As I've said on many occasions before Nicole Richie is definitely one of my favourite Style Stars. I'm always on the lookout to see what she's going to wear next. I especially love it when she flies the flag for her own lines, House of Harlow 1960 and Winter Kate as I am a massive fan (Check out my post of Winter Kate 2012 Collection).

It's a Wrap

Following yesterday's Monday MUST HAVE with Winter Woolies I wanted to do a post on River Island's selection. As a lover of all things RI I always tend to go to them for Winter Woolies. The price is affordable and the pieces last. I am still rocking Winter Woolies from 3 years ago that I bought in River Island, so check out the fabulous It's a Wrap feature on River Island's website with some of my favourite Winter Woolie pieces on offer at the moment.

I adore this Chevron Stripe coat. It's going to be my Winter Jacket purchase for this year. I am also completely obsessed with River Island's capes and ponchos. They fit into my boho aesthetic perfectly and can be worn so many different ways. I showed my favourites yesterday and I will also be featuring some pieces in my Santa Baby post which will be coming soon.
What do ya'll think of River Island's selection for wrapping up this winter?

Monday MUST HAVE

Winter Woolies are an absolute MUST HAVE at the moment with the weather already starting to go below freezing. The days have beautiful clear blue skies but with the twist of being so cold that you fear for your toes, especially as you are unable to feel them anymore. I have chosen a selection of my favourite Winter Woolie Accessories from River Island in order to ensure your kept nice and toasty in the cold.

Capes:

 I am completely in love with the cape above. I love everything about it from the boho feel to the navajo print and the versatility that is the cape. I will most definitely be purchasing this piece very soon to get me through those Winter months stylishly.

Scarves:

The Little Extras:

 

I'm absolutely loving the feather cable knit boot cuffs. The perfect little Winter Woolie to help stay warm while being completely on trend and so super cute. I truly think that if you want to invest in Winter Woolies this collection from River Island is the way to go. Check out there selection for yourselves and find the perfect Winter Woolies for you.

Holiday

As part of my catch up posts I have decided to dedicate an entire post to my holiday in August. There was just too much to put into the monthly catch up post.
As I talked a little about earlier in the summer my younger sister travelled to Barcelona for the months of July and august to Au Pair for a Spanish Family. Of course being as close as we are my other sister and I couldn't do the whole two months without seeing her so we decided to take a long weekend trip over to Barca to visit.
Here is our trip in picture form

After travelling on the early plane from Ireland we landed in Barcelona just after 9 and the weather was already hot. I was silly enough not to wear the best travelling clothes and after getting the bus and the metro to our hotel I was ready to collapse in the heat. A jumper and jeans were definitely not the best choice. After a quick change we headed to the local park for a refreshing lemon drink. It was exactly what the doctor ordered.

After taking a look around the park and availing of the beautiful scenery for some photo opportunities we headed over to the pool at the apartment block where my sister was staying.

 That evening we headed to The Magic Fountain of Montjuic which is an amazing display of colour, light, motion, music and water acrobatics. It was so pretty to watch the lights within the water all in time with the music.

The following day after a morning of chilling out by the pool we went for a look through the old city. All the winding streets and fabulous architecture were so enchanting. And of course surrounded by fabulous company always helps. How beautiful are my sisters, seriously!

 

On the Sunday we decided to get the metro out to the beach. To say I was in heaven was an understatement. We tanned and swam and basically just chilled out.

So that was it. Of course there were alot more pictures but I didn't want to get over excited with the post. Barcelona is my favourite place in the entire world. If you haven't been there yet I suggest you do something about it. I can't wait to go back there again. My husband and I are even talking about going there next year as he has yet to visit the gorgeous city. Ah I want to be there now!!!
