The One that Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Into the Seat next to Me!

Where has time going? The same place my debit card and headphones seemed to have gone :/ I'm seriously pissed I lost them but no worries :)

Well Freaky has been helping with the windows displays and in-store decorations in Brown Thomas, Galway. I honestly loved it so much the last time that I decided to go back! Today I was up on a ladder. Now I'm not particularly afraid of heights but I'm used to being on ground if ya get me. Like I was too afraid to even fly, I was ten years old before I agreed to take a step onto a plane :O I guess in fashion you have to keep climbing that ladder...

At 17 I really feel like I;m having a mid-life crisis; I had it all planned out - now I see that that was my first problem! You can't plan your life and if you do, like me, you're just setting yourself up for major disappointment. I'm impatient, very impatient. I hit the ground running and forget to enjoy things! WARNING THIS IS GONNA SOUND CORNY: The greatest thing about life is that everyday is new and you can't tell what's going to come next. I should really take my own advice more often because I even do those stupid quizzes online about my future and career despite that I know they are such bull!! My voice of reason always appears to have a sore throat!

Speaking of fashion, (when are we not!?!) I have just completed an assignment which I'm thinking of putting up online. I would put it up tonight but I left it in college :/ It's a project on an Irish fashion designer! Lads, our country may be small but only good things come from it :) I choose the beautiful and talented Natalie B Coleman! What a star! I did an interview with Ms Coleman via email so, out of courtesy, I;m going to email her tonight and get her permission to post the interview on my blog. I'm not being a kiss-ass but she really is a lovely person and I've only ever heard good things about her! One of my main reasons for choosing Ms Coleman is that she attended L.I.T. (Limerick Institute of Technology) and got a degree in fashion design there, which is something I hope to do. I'm just going to stick up a few pics now that I actually used in my project on Ms Coleman's collections. They're wicked kids :)

Well my dear peas that's all from me tonight but I'm actually, swear to which ever God you believe in, I;m emailing her right this second to get the all clear because no one wants to sue me, I've no money!

Best Buys #1

Heya :) so I had a lazy day today and was wondering what to write about, so I decided just to show you some of the style in my room! These are from everywhere really, love these pieces! 

This ring is from Cotton Face Vintage in Galway, Ireland! Cost me €5, which is amazing considering how detailed and unique the ring is! Loads of quirky treasures and vintage pieces at Cotton Face Vintage :) 

This dress is pretty prom-ish in my opinion, and after I bought it my mum went online and bought the same one from ModCloth.com! Lovely royal blue and sequins in the middle, it's soooo elegant and swooshy :) It cost me $54! ModCloth is an American website full of clothes that make me want to turn into a 1950s housewife and wear them all day! They also sell mini home-ware stuff. http://www.modcloth.com/

This dress is from the pre-loved section from Cotton Face Vintage! I don't know if you can see but the bottom of the dress is actually black lace :) All the clothing at Cotton Face Vintage is spectacular, just like this dress - only €8!!! And so comfy too :) Make sure to look up the website and Facebook page: http://www.cotton-face-vintage.com/

I got this dress on a girly holiday to London at the start of August! It's from a kick-ass brand called Iron Fist. You may know them better from their shoes, I honestly had no idea they did clothing. Got this in Camden for £54! Pretty cool right??

Every month in Galway there's a market on called Pandora's Thrift Box! Loads of people come along to sell their unique pieces :) I bought this for.... €11 I think (?!!) This is a really cool necklace by JUNK Jewellery :) https://www.facebook.com/JunkJewelleryAndAccessories
