So I decided to put together a post to share the Lowdown on Lisbon with you. I want to share where we stayed, a bit about the food, sights and just general information that may help you if you're planning a trip to Lisboa!
I recently came back from a getaway to Lisbon, Portugal which you may have known if you follow me on social media. While looking up things to do once we got there, I kept seeing Sintra being mentioned but didn't look too much into it. My boyfriend has this mindset before we go places in which he doesn't like to look into the destination too much as he likes the element of surprise and I kind of adopted that attitude as I like the idea behind it. Having said that, I did follow a Lisbon orientated Instagram account and was pretty much stalking it as the excitement built before our trip, with the stunning Sintra making quite a few appearances.
Occasion Wear Shopping can be hard, there can be so many questions like what's appropriate? how much can I spend on it? do I want something I'll wear again? etc etc. I haven't had to buy anything for an occasion in quite some time so I was actually excited at the thought of it.
If you follow me on social media, you are likely to have seen that I was in Barcelona for 4 days recently, (you'd swear I had moved there as it's all I've posted about the last week, sorry not sorry). Ugh, I'm getting holiday blues as I'm writing this already.. it's just the most stunning city, I really couldn't have asked for a better first holiday with the boyf.
Our teenage years are definitely some of our most testing years, well that's what I found anyways. At 22 years of age, I do have a whole lotta more learning to do but I also feel like I have learnt a whole lot too. I can certainly say I am now at the most happy place I've ever been in my life and to be able to say that, feels pretty amazing.
Buying gifts can be a very difficult task and something some of us dread, what do you get someone that seems to have everything? what do they even like? how do I show I put thought in this? But I bought them this before, how do I get them something original?
On Thursday last, I was invited along to the Irish Fashion Innovation Awards 2018 (IFIA). This was going to be my second time to attend the awards so I was excited for what was in store. The IFIA is an awards platform for Irish fashion designers and fashion students. It aims to showcase the most cutting-edge designers and give up-and-coming designers a platform to gain an audience and following.
While on my last trip to London, I got to visit some v Instagramable places to eat that I'm sure you recognise from the gram, here's a lil post on what I thought of them and some more deets..
We hear this time and time again..'Comparison is the thief of joy' and we agree, yet we regularly find ourselves comparing ourselves to others. I, myself actually became quite good for not using comparison as a scale against myself but lately I find myself reversing back to comparing myself to others more and more.
Comparing ourselves to others is pretty much all down to our own insecurities and we all go through phases of feeling our insecurities more than we normally would and I guess I'm going through one of those phases and for a few reasons..
I was delighted to be invited along to The Great Hat Exhibition 2018 Press Preview Presentation on Tuesday last, if you follow me on social media, you may have guessed I do love to wear a hat! The event was held in PINKO flagship store, Knightsbridge, so location wise it was stunning. The area and the store itself had me in awe.
If you read My 2018 Plans blogpost you may know that one of those plans was to shop smarter and I'm actually proud I've stuck to it so far (yes, I know January isn't even over yet). I used to not think and just buy clothing but again I think this outfit contains elements that can be worn time and time again through multiple outfits so what I'm gunna do in this post is talk through this outfit.
Last weekend myself and the boyf decided to head to Limerick for a night as we had planned to go to a rugby match in Thomond Park and thought making a night of it would be nice as I never actually had been in Limerick city before and as I said in my last blog post I want to travel more in and out of Ireland this year so this was an ideal start to that plan.
WHERE WE STAYED
We stayed in The George Boutique Hotel which we both absolutely loved. It is situated right in the middle of town so location wise it couldn't have been better for us and even though it's in the middle of a city, noise within our room wasn't an issue once.
So I know we are well into January and some of you may be wondering where is she off to posting her 2018 plans, New Year New Me is soooo 3 weeks ago. Well as I like to say better late than never. I had completely lost my blogging mojo for quite a bit due to personal reasons and all the negativity surrounding the Irish blogging community but I'm done with letting that hold me back and here I am with my first outfit type blog post in quite a bit, my plans for 2018.
If you follow me over on Instagram you may have seen that I got lip fillers a month ago now. So I guess I'll start this post off with why I decided to get them. It's been something I have thought about for a long time now and I always said I would eventually get them just as I feel I have quite a large face and I felt it wasn't filled out enough..if that makes sense?!

Ok so I have a new obsession.. please don't tell me I'm alone in the fact that I obsess over certain items of clothing?
My new obsession is flared pants, after seeing these pants on Amy Spencer - The Little Magpie, I just had to have them! They looked so so flattering on her and she had said they're super lengthening on the legs so that was them sold to me. So here's a few reasons why these pants may just be the best ever..
1. They make me look taller
2. They make my bum look pretty good
3. They feel like pyjamas so are crazy comfy
4. I've never gotten as much compliments on an item of clothing as I have these
I think they're pretty good reasons if your'e looking for reasons to add flared pants to your wardrobe.
So the question is am I going to wear these pants way too much and fill my winter wardrobe with flared pants? Absolutely.
GET THE LOOK
The pants above are currently sold out so in case they don't come back into stock here are some other flared options..
