Outfit Post: Hello May

Wearing Zara dress, Pull and Bear military jacket, Primark studded boots, H&M furry bag

Hello May ! I am excited to be in the month of May, it means that summer has arrived and the weather here in Rome, is defintiely living up to it. It has been really heating up here and this week we had temperatures up to 27 degrees.
This is very exciting news to me, because I have a made a few purchases recently, but still haven't been brave enough to wear them, in the colder weather.
The best part is that the days are so much longer now and you can (almost) leave home without the outfit downer of a jacket !
This outfit post was taken on one of the warm Saturday's recently, that began with a yummy lunch in the Centre, browsing of the shops and then finished with my first gelato of the summer season, mint flavour, my favourite ! (and not that easy to find here !)
There was also the most beautiful sunset, all oranges and pinks. The perfect sunset after such a blue blue sky !

Well thats all for now,
Fingers crossed this weather keeps up and let me know how it is where you guys are ??

Jelly Sandals. I had a pair. In fact I had a new pair ever summer, from the age of 4 to 8. A wardrobe staple for a child of the early nineties, some might say. Yeah, along with white frilly socks and colourful leggings, they were my go to pieces, to stay on trend.
My favourite thing about my first pair, I remember distinctly they were a baby pink and on the bottom, underneath, they had some kind of fish or shell motif and when you would walk in the sand, it would leave the print.
From recent celebrity/fashion sightings, it would appear that the jelly sandal is making a come back. But I wasn't quite sure what to make of pictures of celebrities, such as Anne Hathaway, prancing around in this childhood classic.
As an (aspiring) adult woman, I like to think I have an open mind, especially when it comes to fashion trends. Ya I'll try shoulder pads. Sequin trousers ? Why not ! However, I am not sure I can bring myself to wear the Jelly Sandal. In the process of trying to convince myself, I did find some updated versions, see Givenchy and Vivienne Westwood. Maybe just a matte colour, no sparkles, no neon brights and perhaps even black would make them more grown up appropriate ? What if Karl Lagerfeld himself , delivered a pair of the Chanel, sleek, black jellies to my house, would I wear them ?? Or slam the door in disgust !
Then there is the conspiracy theory. What if all the fashion heads of the world, have gotten together, and decided each year, to bring back one fashion disaster of the past and pass it off as the must have trend of next season. Perhaps they're all laughing at us, mere sheep in brightly coloured rubber footwear !
My conclusion is that as much as I usually love fashion's rummaging through the historic fashion archives, to bring back those much loved pieces of the past, I think they have hit the bottom of the barrel. Reworked, restyled or renamed they will forever be of my childhood and remain there, along with the frilly socks.

That's all for now,
What are your thoughts ? Are you or will you rock some jelly footwear this summer ?

Blogger Inspiration: Angela Scanlon

It has been a while that I have wanted to create a blog roll, of all my favourite bloggers. When I am fashion prowling on-line, I always come across some great new bloggers/fashion inspiration sites.One leads me to another and another and before I know it, I have forgotten where I started. For this reason I want to take the time to start building a list of my favourite blogs/websites, where I actually read the content, rather than just perve on the pictures.

I am starting with Irish blogger, TV presenter, fashion writer and stylist Angela Scanlon. Now I know us Irish have a tendency of promoting each other and sticking together, as few in numbers we may be, but I have to say, Angela being Irish, is only a bonus for me. Regardless of nationality, this girl has style !

Angela has been dubbed the new Alexa Chung, which is a huge compliment obviously ! But what does this mean ? Well from watching some of the videos featured on her site, I guess it means she was born with that effortless style, that some of us take hours to achieve, and that she has personality. She has bucket loads of charisma, is funny and personable. The more and more I read her posts, I think, "Hey Angela, want to be best friends ? '" Best friends meaning I will have full access to your closet and those matching patterned suit combos, you so easily pull off !

One of my favourite features of her website is called 'Rants'. Here she posts some inspiring fashion images, along with 'Rants' on her daily life happenings. One of my favourite recent posts, features a description on a flight with a well known low cost airline. I felt I was reading a facebook mail from a close friend, rather than the post of a complete stranger! It was really hilarious and I could completely relate to it.

As an occasional blogger (with good intentions to improve) I am inspired most by people who are brave, so much so that they open up their world to others. I am trying to be more brave, with fashion choices and even life choices, in general. So what I am taking from Angela and her site is, be more BRAVE, in both fashion choices and life choices. Laugh about life more, after all quote " If you picked the wrong shoes you're not going to die !" Check out the video below from My Daily Fashion Priest and her interview with them.

That's all for now !
Check out Angela's website now !

I am currently obsessed with Instagram, meaning I have begun to neglect many human basics , including general conversation with actual humans, much to my boyfriend's annoyance.
I love that you can follow celebrities and fashion houses, while also discovering some new fashionistas.

Outfit post: Take a walk on the wild side

Hello all !

Here is a new outfit post for your fashion, peeping pleasure ! Red snake print jeans, paired with my (worn to death) Zara faux leather, bottle green top. My black evening coat is protecting me from the chill of an early spring evening, with a classic black scarf, for extra protection !
The sparkly black boots, are a mega steal from the Zara winter sale ! Oh how I love them !
My Kenneth Lane Tiger necklace, making another appearance on the blog. It's so hard to photograph this one. The light just bounces off it ! A successful photo of this one, is still on my list of life challenges.

Trying to post more regularly now, as I seem to have a bit more time on my hands. My aim is to do more outfit posts, as I know that's what I like most about other blogs.

You can hype the look on lookbook below:
