Galway Races: Hats

Hats have been a statement of elegance and class for centuries. They come in many shapes and sizes, making a fashionable statement. There is a hat for every style! For people with smaller heads try to avoid huge hats and chose something more streamline. If you want to be bang on trend think large....large, round, soft hats look great! For that classy race look, think royal wedding. These hats are pieces of artwork ranging from classical to modern shades. You can have a bright neon colour or something simple.....work with your outfit and let your hat be your crown and glory.

Penny's / Primark AW 12 Collection Preview

I have mixed opinions on Primark....kind of a love/hate relationship! However we all have at least a few pieces in our wardrobe that came from Penny's. That typically Irish moment when asked "Where is that from?", we roll our eyes and smirk as we respond "Penny's"!!! I was impressed with the sneak peek of the AW 12 collection....Very Sixties. Think Twiggy! It also features very on trend, tailored pieces. Lots of cute knits, pattern, skirts and bold accessories. My fave look is the last....I love the jacket (wanted the Zara version badddddd) and the high top heeled trainers, very like my River Island ones but I am sure a lot cheaper. Will you be joining the queue?

Warehouse 25% OFF Buys

Yesterday on my break (yes i shop on my break) I popped into Warehouse as I saw they had a 25% off day. I wouldn't be a regular shopper there but after a few minutes I had my hands full with items to try on. It has started to have a more Zara vibe, on trend and heavier fabrics. Before I knew it I could hardly carry all I had to try on. I managed to whittle it town to 5 buys....even though I am considering returning for some pieces I left behind. The whole lot came to €144 which I think is great value. The necklace I bought is a gold star...I can't find an image but it's so cute! So check out the rest and let me know what you think :)

What I Wore: Double Bash

Saturday night was one of celebrations and farewells.....an all around girly gathering. As I said a few blogs back my birthday was coming and so it had to be celebrated, well it would be rude not too ;) The main event was held for our beautiful and amazing friend Nicola who is heading of to Oz very soon. It was a lovely night of girly giggles and catching up over many, many bottles of pop! 

I have been wanting to wear one of Daisy's new arrivals since it came through the door. It is from an Australian label called Bec&Bridge. I finally got to wear it this weekend (along with A LOT of double sided tape) along with my new Topshop shoes and Zara clutch from my recent trip to Dundrum. I would also like to add how I am overwhelmed and greatfull of all the views I have recieved so far, hopefully my blogging will get better in time :)

Designer Desirable Dresses

I wanted to do a blog about Daisy's Designer Desirable Dress section. Many of you guys reading this may know that I own Daisy Boutique located on Eglinton Street, Galway. 

My blog will have the odd post about new arrivals etc. along with my own personal style.I will try make it brief  :) ........We opened Daisy originally in Dec 2010 as a strictly retail destination, however due to an idea that would not leave me and high demand, I opened a designer section where you can hire dresses. It is aptly named Designer Desirable Dresses! Here you can hire a dress or gown that can retail upwards of €1,000 for as little as €80-190. The reason I decided to do this was I wanted everyone to have the chance to experience, feel and look a million dollars without the huge commitment of dropping some serious cash.
