Last Monday night, I got dressed up for my main gal Sarah’s birthday and received so many compliments about my outfit and many wanted to know outfit details (and Susan requested a blog post so, here you go Sue 😉
My top is from Boohoo.
I think the exact style of mine is gone now but I found one very similar and you can get it here.
My trousers are from Boohoo and were €16 but now are €14!
These are still in stock and I actually ordered two new colours over the weekend. I have left links to the various colours for you:

Without a doubt, he is the biggest name in Country and Irish music currently. He has even made Country music popular again. Yes, I am talking about the Country heartthrob Nathan Carter. I put on my best dancing shoes and grabbed a few members of the family and headed down south to the Marquee in Cork to see what he was all about!
I’ll admit it – I have only recently fallen under Nathan’s spell and now, I have been asking myself what has been wrong with me all this time?
I have always grown up loving Country music although I have been embarrassed to admit it until now, NOW I DON’T CARE. In fact I’m proud of it, that I have a wide range of musical tastes!
The Marquee in Cork is one of my favourite concert spots so I knew I was in for a good night. It was full to the brim with a sold out crowd of 5,000 people!
The main man himself can on stage a little before 9pm and Jesus, he put on quite a show. He first came out dressed very smartly in a 3 piece suit and oh my, he had me very flustered 😛

He sang covers, such as ‘Good Time Girls’, ‘Caledonia’ and ‘Two Doors Down’ and new material like ‘Temple Bar’ & ‘Skinny Dippin’ and sure the place was only bopping!
He even had a costume change and stripped out of the suit into something more casual!

Nathan showed off his musical talents, when he sang a couple of his songs while playing the piano.

Many often question his success and mock him for only being famous because of his good looks but Carter is incredibly talented and although he sings mostly cover songs, he sings them pretty damn well!!
Nathan Carter made playing an accordion a very sexy thing and I never knew that a handsome man playing an accordion is a turn on for me…

For €35, I got what I paid for and much more. Nathan is the second ever artist I’ve seen live to break stage curfew – he played for a little over 2 hours!
So now, I’ve lost my Nathan Carter concert virginity and you know what? I’m glad I did 😉
It has been two weeks since Australian pop punk band 5 Seconds of Summer rocked up to Dublin to perform 2 sold out nights in Dublin’s 3Arena and they put on a seriously good show!
Okay so I unashamedly will admit this: I WENT BOTH NIGHTS. I know, such a fangirl. It gets worse. It was my 12th and 13th time to see them live since 2013. I just can’t help it, they are my thing, I just need to seem them live, like all the time! I even considered just going on the whole UK & Ireland leg of the tour but you know, I ain’t rich so that plan was put to bed. I usually go to London for 1 date but due to SO MUCH university work this year, I had to call a rain check on that and it broke my heart because it meant I wouldn’t see my fave 5SOS friend Giana. It’s all good though, we have plans for next tour already 😉
Image belongs to me, Sarah Jane Allen
In case you are completely clueless as to who the hell I am talking about, I’ll help you out there! I wrote a blog about them a few years ago now actually, so you can check that out here to bring you up to speed!
Their second album, Sounds Good, Feels Good was released on October 23 worldwide and went to Number 1 on the charts worldwide, including Ireland! In just one year since their self titled album ‘5 Seconds Of Summer’, they have matured their sound and produced some amazing songs on this album. A key thing to take note is that the guys actually wrote all their own material for the album and some of the lyrics came from personal experiences. I am still trying to decide my favourite song, get back to me on that 😉
One of my favourite parts of a 5SOS show is the queue because that is when we drink and catch up ( we typically queue for like 10 hours!!!). This time was a little different as I went with my friend Lisa (both nights!). But somethings never change and we did drink, causing us to get some strange looks from the young ones around us! We did make some friends in the queue both nights also! Still, I missed Gi!
On Tuesday night, we were on Mikey’s side and in typical Sarah Jane style, we were very close to barrier. I mean, we were 3 rows away. So close that the feedback from the speakers ruined my videos, but I didn’t care. I was happy out being on this angel’s side all night!

On Wednesday night, we were on Calum’s side and Lisa was only delighted! And again we were 3 rows away from barrier. So I am your girl if you need to be close to stage okay?! Well it actually only happens at a 5SOS show but still *hair flick*
The set list for both nights was as follows:
Carry On
Hey Everybody!
Money
Voodoo Doll
Don’t Stop
Outer Space
Waste the Night
Castaway
Jet Black Heart
Amnesia
Beside You
Vapour
Catch Fire
Disconnected
End Up Here
Good Girls
Permanent Vacation
What I Like About You
She’s Kinda Hot
She Looks So Perfect
On Tuesday night, they did do a short cover of The Script’s The Man Who Can’t Be Moved.
Image belongs to me, Sarah Jane Allen
I vlogged both days and shows and you can check them out below.
Stupidly enough, we decided not to go out after Tuesday’s night show, even though we had planned to head to Dublin’s finest nightclub, Copper Face Jacks, but when it came to it, we decided to get pizza. I got a text at around 3am asking if I went out because a certain band WENT TO COPPERS!!! Ugh!
This is where my Mam would say ‘It wasn’t meant to be, don’t worry, there is always next time!’, even though that is the second time it has happened!!!
Anyway, the guys took a well deserved two weeks off and our now about to embark on the European leg of the Sounds Live, Feels Live tour.
If you are lucky enough to be going to see them somewhere around Europe, you are in for one hell of a show 😉
Don’t worry, there are some tickets still available and you can check here for more details.
In a couple of days, I am off to Bologna, Italy on a little holiday to visit my two best friends who are on Erasmus there. Bologna is north of Italy and from the snaps I have seen from the girls out there, it looks incredible and I am super excited. I will be travelling with my best friend Sarah and the gal pals will be reunited!
I decide to give you a look at what I have planned to wear on the 6 days in Italy, so continue reading! Unfortunately, most of the clothes I have decided to wear are now unavailable, although there are some new items that are still available! Do not fear though because I am such a nice person, I have researched and found you something quite similar if you would like to purchase! I might add now, that although I work with Celia Holman Lee, I ain’t no model. There is a reason why I am just her P.A 😉
My first outfit is what I shall be wearing flying out to Bologna. When flying, I like to wear something comfortable yet stylish. My outfit is simple: High waisted denim jeans, a grey string top (which I am fully aware you can’t actually see), a light navy & white jumper and grey Skechers.
Jeans – here
String top – here
Jumper – This jumper is from Pennys (Primark) and I got it recently so it should still be there. It was €8 (I think!)
Skechers – They aren’t the exact same Skechers but close enough – here
Next up is a polka dotted jumpsuit with a white crop top and a black floppy hat! This is a fun yet chic look.
Jumpsuit – Sadly, this isn’t available anymore and I searched for something similar but there isn’t anything like it available.
Crop top – This is from Topshop and I have it in various colours. I can’t find it online but I did find it in store. (In London, I might add.)
Hat – here
This little blue dress is one I have had for a good few years now (I have in since 2012 – Reason how I know this is because I wore it when I met Niall Horan!). This dress is such a pretty summer dress and it makes me feel really girly. I am wearing it with my Skechers to make it more of a casual day time look.
Dress – This original dress was from New Look. The closest replica to my dress was this one here from Next.
Something quite similar, except this next dress is more of a mint blue. This dress was from Pennys (Primark) about 2 years ago and €12. I am bringing a cardigan in case it gets a little chilly.
Dress – Again, I can’t find the exact dress but this is the same shape of dress here.
Cardigan – It might be blue but it is the same style here. My cardigan is from F&F and was €10.
If you know me, there will always be a Disney themed outfit in my wardrobe. This is another fun and casual outfit that would suit if we were travelling around.
Top – This is from Pennys (Primark) and I only got it a couple of weeks ago, so it should still be there. It was €8.
High waisted shorts – These high waisted shorts are actually from America and I have them YEARS! They are my favourites because they are so comfy. I found something similar on New Look here.
Bandana – here.
I got sick of my face here so excuse me! This is another casual outfit and all from Pennys (Primark) and I just got these last week therefore they should be there still.
Crop Top – €3
High waisted shorts – €12
These grey shorts have my name written all over them. They are high waisted, grey, ripped and have studs on them = MADE FOR ME! They are from Pennys (Primark) are were €12. I grabbed these last week and they are still there.
Lastly, I picked an evening outfit as we are going out on our first night. I went for my go to glam style and that is a maxi skirt and crop top.
Crop top – here
Skirt – here
Shoes – Pennys / Primark and were €8.
That is it, that is all the clothes that will be in my suitcase! I better go pack it now! I will be vlogging while in Italy so watch out for those videos when I am back.
Also, I’ve always known I am pale and I embrace it but jesus it was so difficult actually taking photos that you could see me in.
On May 2nd, the annual Met Gala took place in the city which is the home of fashion, New York City.
The Met Gala, previously known as the Costume Institute Gala , is an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. But it is really known as the biggest fashion event of the year. The event has been held at the Met since 1971 and is considered to be the ‘fashion industry’s premier annual red carpet event’ with all the big name celebrities attending the event yearly to kick off the fashion season with a bang!
Vogue editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour is the chair of the event and has been for over 19 years. Each year the event has a theme, and 2016 was no different. This year’s theme was ‘Manus x machina: fashion in an age of technology‘. The guest list was kept to a ‘minimum’ of 650-700 a-list celebs and tickets were a pricey $25,000 to increase exclusivity. The creators of the Met Gala are getting stricter with their rules, as this year, no phones were allowed inside the event. Sorry Kim, looks like no more selfies at the ball!
Again, Anna Wintour don’t worry about not getting around to invite me this year, I wouldn’t of been able to make it due to finishing assignments. I know you have me on the list next year and I am already in talks with Moschino about my design.
Let’s get down to business and talk fashion!
Best dressed ladies:
Claire Danes – Claire stole the show when she turned up in a beautiful Zac Posen design as a real life Cinderella, with not one but two men on her arm I might add. I gushed as soon as I saw her dress on Twitter and my little heart fluttered when I saw it light up. Her dress is what dreams are made of. Every girl dreams of being a princess.
Blake Lively – She may be pregnant but that didn’t stop Blake looking absolutely flawless last night as she arrived in a blush pink Burberry dress to the Gala.
Kylie Jenner & Kendall Jenner – As soon as I saw the two sisters on the red carpet, I knew exactly who they were wearing. The Kardashian/Jenner’s reliable designer – Balmain! The two looked incredible! Kylie please leave your hair like this, it suits you so much! Kylie later showed that us ladies will go through anything to look good when she showed her snapchat followers the damage her dress and shoes caused.
Jourdan Dunn – One of my newly grey haired sisters wowed at the Met last night as Jourdan also rocked Balmain (I think I need to invest in some Balmain!!)
Nick Jonas – Only one man stood out for me and that was the very hot Nick Jonas. Although it was kind of a safe option, he looked ever so handsome in this gorgeous tuxedo from Topman.
Kim & Kanye – Once again, it didn’t surprise me when I heard they were wearing Balmain. Kim steals the attention this time Kayne, even those blue contacts couldn’t distract me from how good she looks!
Gigi & Zayn – Without a doubt, they are THE couple of the year and were certainly sticking to the theme with their matching outfits. Gigi stunned in Tommy Hilfiger while Zayn looked gorgeous in Versace. Can they do no wrong?
Many people and critics seem to forget that the Met Gala ain’t any normal event. It’s the one night where designers and celebrities get to be creative and explore new tastes with fashion and personally, it is my favourite event in the fashion calendar. Impatiently waiting for next year already.
So I took the plunge today and changed my hair colour… to GREY! Yes you read that right, grey!
I have been wanting to go grey for about a year now and I am absolute delighted that I have. I am so in love with it!
Now going grey has become fashionable and almost everyone wants it! Hairdressers are inundated with people wanting to become sliver haired goddesses! BUT it is not for everyone. If you are blonde and wanting to go grey – perfect! It will only take a couple of hours and you’re done! If you are darker and wanting to go grey – think about it. Do you really want to? You will have to go bleach blonde first and that itself is a process that could take more than one trip to the hairdresser. Have you got the money and time for that? You really have to want to commit to it and your hair would have to be in great condition to stick with all that colouring. I was even thinking of backing out of it but it was a much easier process for me. Be sensible in your decision. Talk to your hairdresser if you want advice. My hairdresser was only delighted to talk to me about it. (Shout out to Jean and Maria in The Cutting Edge in Mountrath, Co.Laois – Best hairdressers without a doubt!)
Olaplex – I am sure you have heard of this at some stage over the past year. Olaplex is a new treatment that everyone is raving about, including myself. I have had it twice now and I adore it. Olaplex helps repair damaged hair and maintain colour for longer. It also makes my hair feel and look so good. Do yourself and your hair a favour, if you can get your hands on it, GET IT! Even if you aren’t dying your hair, it is a great treatment to restore your hair back to top quality condition! I can’t wait to get some so I can use it at home.
Check out my new hair below in some pictures I took earlier! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to leave a comment and hopefully, I can help!
So back in July, I posted a blog about my story with Acne and being on Roaccutane and I was and still am overwhelmed with the incredible response I received from that blog post. Honestly, I was so scared to post that blog but all the love and support I received made me so happy I did. I have found people, just like me suffering from acne, messaging me asking questions about everything from the tablet to my beauty routine. So I decided to update you all on my progress.
I finished Roaccutane in November and I won’t lie, I was petrified to finish it. But thankfully, my skin has continued to improve daily. I still have scars from my acne but my dermatologist did say that they would take much longer to fade.
My diet, lifestyle and beauty routine are very important to maintaining my acne free skin at the moment. The most important thing (well for me anyway!) is making sure I drink plenty of water. I aim to drink 2 litres everyday, if not more. I can notice the difference in my skin straight away if I don’t drink enough water in one day. When it comes to diet, I have started making sure I eat more fruit and vegetables and less processed foods. Then there is my beauty routine, and I will admit, there is sometimes I just use a baby wipe to take off my makeup when I am tired or lazy (or drunk!) but it is so important to take off your makeup with a proper makeup remover. The one I use which I find so gentle on my skin is Coconut Oil with a muslin cloth. It leaves my face so soft and doesn’t cause any damage. I use Bio Oil every morning to help reduce my scars and Liz Earle Superskin Concentrate every night to reduce the redness. I use a moisturizer morning and night, which is The Body Shop Vitamin E Intense Moisture Cream.
I have gotten one or two little spots since finishing, due to being emotional or stressed but good old Sudacream before bed clears them up.
Just so you can see the difference, here is a picture of me before starting Roaccutane.
And here are pictures of my skin now! Just a few scars and a little redness!
It’s hard to believe the transformation that Roaccutane has done for me. It feels great not being in pain with my acne and I am even confident now to leave the house with no makeup on! I am so much happier in myself now!
Thank you once again for all your lovely and encouraging comments on my original post in July. You have no idea how much it means to me ❤
A picture taken on nice beach, as Jacob calls it, here in Tarragona.
Tomorrow (Friday 9th of October), it will be 6 weeks since I got on the plane and moved to Tarragona. I still can’t believe I have moved to another country, even if it is for 4 months. Tarragona is a beautiful city. It is filled with many streets of old architecture and beautiful buildings. You could walk around aimlessly and not get sick of the city. The coast line seems endless, with sandy beaches and clear blue seas for miles; you could walk it for hours on end (I once walked along it for over 3 hours!)
College here is different from at home. It is a lot more like secondary school. The lectures are much smaller, more like what a tutorial would be at home. The modules I am taking aren’t too hard thankfully, meaning we don’t have to spend a lot of time doing college work. I have found a new appreciation for University of Limerick while over here. We are so lucky to have everything in one place on campus. The URV campus is all over Tarragona. It just doesn’t feel like UL here. There is just something about UL. God, I would love to go to The Stables right now for a pint with the gang.
The staff in Danny Boy pub in Salou are starting to recognise Kate and I, as we have been there nearly every weekend for the matches. There does be a great atmosphere in the pub for the matches! Also, most of the bar staff are beautiful, so we can’t complain! 😉
We have travelled a bit. Well, we have only been to Salou and Barcelona! Barcelona is a beautiful city but it is massive. So much so, we got lost for 3 hours trying to find Camp Nou! We are going back there this weekend to see more of the city. We are going to take the tour bus around the city and I am super excited. I am going to vlog it all. The girls say I will be like Joey when Chandler and Joey go to London (Friends reference if you didn’t know). We are going to Cambrills tomorrow also. So our adventures are beginning!
Although I love it here, I do find it hard at times. I miss home. I miss my Mum and Dad. I miss my pets. I miss my Mum’s blueberry pancakes. I miss going to/watching matches with my Dad. I miss Sunday evenings in Margaret and Joe’s. I miss having wifi all the time (we still have no wifi in our apartment, so therefore we have no Netflix or TV3 player so I can watch Downton Abbey!!) I miss the autumn/winter weather. I miss the fact I live in the middle of nowhere in the countryside. My room is at the front of our apartment so, I hear traffic and people talking all the time, meaning I find it hard to sleep at times. I miss everything about home. But I do love it here. I am very grateful to have Sarah and Kate here with me. There have been so many good memories already; Nicole and I got up on stage with a male dancer in the nightclub one night – Sarah, Kate and I had to run away from Moroccan fellas another night – oh and I love Peggy Sue’s restaurant. There have been so many good times so far. Also, I can’t forget about Jacob, a wonderful person who is now in my life because of Erasmus!
I have found myself thinking about Lorcan a lot more lately. The smallest of things remind me of him and my heart hurts, then I feel nothing but sadness. It just doesn’t seem real or fair that he is gone. My life is continuing on as if nothing happened. He should be alive and continuing to have a great life. It is really hard at times. I know why he is on my mind a lot more this week; Trumera are in the county final on Sunday. I am devastated I won’t be there but don’t you worry, I will be proudly wearing my Trumera jersey, especially for Lorcan. I hope they win, I hope they win it for him.
I am sorry I haven’t been posting more blogs, I guess I have lost my appetite for write at the moment. I am sure I’ll be back posting non stop soon enough 😛
I have 10 weeks lift here in Tarragona. How crazy is that? I suppose time does fly by when you are having fun.
Sooo… July and August have been pretty busy months for me! Where do I begin? Firstly, in case you didn’t know, I have been working for Celia Holman Lee since April or May but I worked a lot more for her in July and August. I even worked with her at the Rose of Tralee Fashion Show. Working with her has been a ultimate dream, I still can’t believe Richard got me that opportunity. I am sad it has come to an end for now. She was a dream to work with, we laughed a lot and I have learnt a lot about Fashion and the industry and I loved every minute of it.
With Celia after the Rose of Tralee Fashion Show.
Back in July, I got to meet Youtuber Alfie Deyes, better known as Pointless Blog, and he liked and commented on my vlog, making my channel views go crazy!! I have suffered a lot of migraines and anxiety attacks the last two months which also due to hectic lifestyle and personal reasons (which states why I haven’t been blogging a lot lately!) I have been redecorating my room and it is finally finished! In early August, I met another Youtuber, Marcus Butler! I also met Jake Quickenden. My acne has almost cleared, one more month and I am finished! I went to the Dome in Tralee for the Rose of Tralee 2015 and it was great craic altogether! I got to hang out and party with the beautiful ladies from the Laois Rose Centre, whom have got a special place in my heart. I adore those ladies, they are such incredible women to look up to.
With Mam and Night 1 of Rose of Tralee 2015.
With Anne Marie and Bernadette from Laois Rose Centre.
Other than all that, I have been packing for Spain ( I move in one week, ONE WEEK! I am not prepared, in my head, I feel like I am just going on holiday!) So I have decided to combine my July and August favourites! I’ll stop rambling now!
Books
In July, I read To Kill A Mockingbird for the first time (I know such a crime!) If you have not read it, GO READ IT NOW! It is a very good book, quite different to my typical book. In short, the book is about Scout Finch, her older brother, Jem , and their friend Dill. All three spend their summers spying on their reclusive and mysterious neighbour, Boo Radley. Scout and Jem’s dad, Atticus is a respected lawyer, but when he defends a black man, Tom Robinson against made up rape charges, the trial exposes the children to evils of racism and stereotyping.
Then in August, in like one week, I read The Maze Runner series. My goodness gracious, I couldn’t put the books down! Ashamedly, I did see The Maze Runner before I read the book. But the book is 100% much better than the movie, and I loved the movie! The books had my heart racing and I couldn’t sleep as I wanted to know what happened next! They say on the back that they are adrenaline filled and they certainly are. So here is what the Maze Runner is about: Thomas arrives in a glade at the center of a giant labyrinth. Like the other youths dumped there before him, he has no memory of his previous life, only his name. But something is different after Teresa arrives (who is the only girl sent to the glade). They soon realise they need to get out of the Glade and the maze. Thomas quickly becomes part of the group, but he knows he is different from the rest and certain members of the Glade recognize this too, once they’ve been bitten by the grievers in the maze. Thomas shows the gladers a unique perspective that allows him a promotion to Runner very quickly. Thomas tries to convince his fellow gladers that he knows a way out. It is gripping and intense. If you loved The Hunger Games, this is a must read.
Outfit
Working with Celia means you get to dress up some days for work.
My first favourite outfit is this blue and gold dress from Born Boutique. I think it was around €69. I got so many compliments when I wore it. It is so flattering. These dresses are great, they cut at the middle of your waist and can give the illusion of being slimmer. They also hide your stomach!
This dress is from Born Boutique
This outfit is from swamp. Top is €29 and the Skirt is €49
This other outfit I love is a blue lace crop top and a fabulous black Tulle skirt from Swamp. If you know me, I LOVE TULLE SKIRTS and more than likely buy one every time I see one in a shop. Tulle skirts are in for this A/W so I’d advise you to go by one! They are great.
Music
Fifth Harmony, if you don’t know these girls by now, where in the name of god have you been living? The girl band released their debut album earlier in 2015 and there is a few gems on it including this song, Brave Honest Beautiful, which happens to be one of my favourite songs right now. I can’t stop playing it. It’s on repeat, all the time. No joke! I am pretty sure it will be the same for you!
So 5 Seconds of Summer have been working hard on their second album (SECOND ALBUM, THEY HAVE COME SO FAR!) and their leading single from the album ‘Feels Good, Sounds Good’ is ‘She’s Kinda Hot’. I see the trend in leading singles, first ‘She Looks So Perfect’ now ‘She’s Kinda Hot’! Maybe it’s just a biased opinion but I feel this song is step up for 5SOS, as in they could fully be classed as punk rock rather that pop punk! I feel like this is the game changer for them. It’s sounds like old school My Chemical Romance and I FREAKING LOVE IT!
And what would my favourites be without added these boys, One Direction. Drag Me Down, which is their first single without Zayn (it still hurts!) and it is pretty damn good. Just like 5SOS, One Direction’s sound has matured, which makes me a happy girl! Of course, the video is great! Also, I’ve always appreciated Harry’s vocals but jeeeez the feels on his vocal in Drag Me Down kill me everytime!!
Food
So I think I might have a problem with Blueberries. I have become addicted and when I see something that says ‘Contains Blueberries’ or ‘Blueberry whatever’, I most likely will buy it just because it has blueberries!! My latest love is Blueberry bars.
Make Up
So I wrote a blog about Acne and my story with it recently and included most of the products I use. Recently, I have been using two other products also, and I love them! Coconut Oil is all you have been hearing in terms of beauty throughout 2015 and I can see why. I use it as a makeup remover and within one minute, all my make up is off and my face feels great. You take a little bit of the coconut and rub it between your hands until it turns to oil and you message it all over your face until you think all your makeup is removed. I usually do this in sections, so I would repeat this step 4 or 5 times. Then you get a wet Muslin cloth and wipe away the makeup/oil and now you have a fresh, clean face! Also, as I mentioned in my acne blog, I have some scars on my face. I was told to use Bio-Oil to try reduce the scars and I have to say, it is working. It is a slow process and I do have to put it on twice daily. If I miss one day, you can see the difference.
Youtuber
If you didn’t know, I have been Vlogging and making YouTube videos! I am loving making videos and I am super excited to make loads more. Check out my latest video. If you want, like the video and subscribe to me, PRETTY PLEASE!
Home Decor
You might know, I am redecorating my room, well I am actually finished now! So when I saw this Love Sign, I had to have it. It is so pretty and girly. It is from Pennys (Primark) and I think it was €5 or €7. I also got my hands on these lipstick holders (FINALLY). I got them on Esty.com and they were €5 I think! These are great, I can see what lipsticks I have and they look so organised!
That’s it for my July/August Favourites, I’ll see you in a month for September faves!
