2013.......

Hey Guys,

Happy New Year to all my readers and friends! My first resolution is to blog more, I had a lot going on last month so I have been majorly slacking! New camera is coming soon too, so you will see a lot more personal pics. Have you guys resolutions?! Here are some Instgram pics I took over the Christmas, it was full of family,friends and relaxation!

My 2013 Hot List

1. Bomber Jackets: So I may finally have to ditch my trusty blazer in 2013. This slouchier look is going to be key to every kind of look this season. I am in love with this Three Floor version. It has everything you could want in a classical bomber that still brings style. Leather look sleeve, metalic and embroidery. Love it!

2. Wrist Swag: It is still all about some wrist candy. I adore a good gold watch, I wear mine everyday! If you are looking for something classical, look no further than Michael Kors. For something different, I am in love with this Daisy Knights Watch. Swag!

3. Stripes: This nautical beauty is back with a bang. It has been sent down the runways of Marc Jacobs, Paul Smith and Jonathan Saunders but to name a few. In regards to stripes, any direction goes! I love them and think they add fun to any outfit. Pair a stripped top with denims or a skirt and cons.

4. Sunnies: Of course sunglasses are a staple in any wardrobe, any time of the year. The sunnies that you should be coveting in 2013 should have attitude! I am talking jewels, printed, oversized......STATEMENT!

5. Flats Ok so I love my heels, however I am loving the fact that flats are bang on trend. What is not to love about comfort?! Practical does not mean boring. Look for something chic and classical. Brogues were spotted on Victoria Beckham recently, SHOCK! If she can embrace the flat, then so can I!

*Crystals & Co.*

Crystals & Co. is one of Ireland's most well loved accessory brands. Owned and run by Dublin beauties Emily McKeogh and Leah O'Reilly. They established their own company in one of the worst recessions Ireland has ever seen.C&C has gone from strength to strength, and along with their own website www.crystalsandco.com , they supply retailers in Ireland and London, including my own store Daisy . As another young, female business woman I have huge admiration for their drive and success in building such a huge Irish brand. GIRL POWER :)

The line is full of all things that sparkle....earrings, rings and handbags. The pieces are adorned with swarovski crystals and rhinestones making them bling,bling,bling!! C&C has been spotted on many a famous face such as Whitney Port, Laura Whitmore, Georgia Salpa, Rozanna Purcell, but to name a few.

The variety in colour is huge, they come in an array of luxurious and vibrant colours. I love the fact it gives you that feeling of luxury and sparkle without breaking the bank. You can pop on some bangles and they jazz up any outfit.

I love to stack my thin & thick bangles....my friends and I are nearly always wearing at least one piece from the range on a Saturday night. My current C&C obsession is my gold Shamballa bracelet...love! So if you want something sparkly and beautiful for your jewellery collection, then look no further than Crystals & Co.

WARNING: Bling addiction guaranteed
