*** Before you read I apologise for all the watermarks I don't want to risk my pictures being used anywhere else.
How is everyone? I'm exhausted after a wonderful weekend of Wedding celebrations with fabulous people.
We were so lucky with the weather absolutely fabulous.
I got a lot of questions about my dress on the day and on social media.
I'm currently doing a weight loss programme called Motivation. I mean I don't have loads to lose but for the future and just for myself to feel confident in what I wear so I waited until I reached a certain weight to start looking for dresses. Now this was mission impossible. I looked high and low in cork city and personally I couldn't find anything. There were a lot of summer sales and it was an awkward time of season. So I popped into Sheenas Boutique on Oliver Plunett street and I grabbed some dresses and tried them.
They were fab but I wasn't 100%. One of the girls working there, I didn't catch her name, but she talked to me after I tried on a hand full of dresses. She lifted up a Joseph Ripkoff dress and mentioned it was beautiful on. I instantly fell in love. The lace detailing was stunning, the shape of the dress was so slimming and you can't go wrong with a little black dress. This will be a dress I will use forever. All I have to do is change up the shoe to suit the occasion or season.
I paired the dress with pointed nude heels and clutch that picked up the colours of the shoes. Both from New Look. I only ever get my heels or shoes from New Look.
I also got myself a spray tan from Fifth Avenue in Oliver Plunett street. They use the brand He-Shi so you are guaranteed a fabulous tan. I've got it done there before and you are reassured of any worries of turning orange.
The following day we had a BBQ. I did my own makeup this time around.

My top and skirt are both from Dunnes. I literally picked the skirt up before the weekend but the top is last season. My shoes are from New Look - you can probably see a trend. I 100% recommend new look shoes and heels they're fabulous and very affordable. My necklace is from Penneys. I also had a clutch bag from Penneys the same colour as the shoes and necklace. I love the coordination.
Hope you enjoyed this little blog.
Until next time fab things,
A x
