November Photo Diary: Autumn Walks, Retail Therapy and Graduation


It's the 11th of Decemeber and I'm only posting this now but at this time of year its hard to get a minute. In November, we took a walk around Roath park in Cardiff, it isn't too far from where we live so it was nice to explore the neighbourhood.


It's honestly such a pretty place, it has a huge lake, parks and a tennis court.


dont know what this is but it makes for a great picture


We celebrated Chris's birthday at the beginning of November, we out for a fancy meal and had the best cocktails!


I got my hair cut super short again, it wasn't intentional and I felt super sad about it because I knew my graduation was only a few weeks away and I felt so self-consious but what can you do, it will grow back!


We also went out to The Lanes in Bristol one week. I love The Lanes because they play indie, rock n roll and 60s classics. They also have cheap drinks which naturally means we get super drunk and take photobooth pictures.


We bought some more Ikea furniture to store our records and books. We got one of the Kallax square units and a Billy bookcase. We have quite a big set up in the living room now which does make it more homely plus we can actually take our records out now and use them.


I went on a bit of a spending spree this time of year because the amount of sales and discounts is too hard to exist, plus the change of the season meant I needed a bit of a wardrobe refresh. I bought these amazing Vagabond Marja ankle boots from Office. They are such good quality, really sturdy but comfy. I've been looking for a nice Chelsea boots for ages because my current ones are quite scuffed so I'm happy I found these.


I also got some Benefit goodies because they had a 3 for 2 offer for black friday. I absolutely love the galifornia blusher and the dandelion twinkle highlighter as a combination. Roller lash is my favourite mascara, I had it in the travel size and I was running out so I got the full version.


I also graduated in November! It was such a nice day but it flew by so fast, I would have liked to meet up with friends and make the most of the free prosecco but all of a sudden it was midnight and I had to catch my bus home (very cinderalla here)


I will miss the student life

While I was in Bristol I went to lovely cafe called Poco, its a bruch/lunch place by day and a tapas bar by night. One thing I miss about Bristol is the food, there's so many nice places to eat especially along Gloucester Road.

We also went to the Christmas markets in Bristol. I feel like Christmas has just crept up on me so fast, I haven't had much time to do festive things but next weekend I plan to do something Christmassy.


My Boxing Day Sales Haul

I was thinking of making a boxing day sale wishlist but I decided to show you what I bought already instead. As you can see I've done quite a lot of damage. I bought most things online and a few things in store today. I went to Derry and I popped into Topshop and Boots. Boots have such a great sale, all their gifts sets are half price or more so its the perfect time to buy Christmas presents for next year or just treat yourself (like me!) Some things are now sold out online but there could be available in store so I've included them. Did you buy anything in the Christmas sales? :)

Photo Diary: Dublin, Cocktails, The Kills

May was very eventful. I finished college, moved back home and spent most of my time job hunting (still no luck!). I'm quite sad to have left Dublin and my little UCD circle but hopefully the next stage of my life will be as exciting. The first picture is from this post three years ago when I first visited UCD, I'm feeling pretty nostalgic
my film peeps 
celebrating with cocktails
best cheesecake! If you happen to be in Donegal, I recommend The Yellow Pepper for eats
went for a little stroll along Dun Laoghaire Pier with Chris 
pretending to be all chill (top and sunnies from River Island)
Dublin Castle - I've lived in Dublin for three years but I'm still sightseeing hehe

they make Penny Dreadful here so if you wanna be an extra ...
Chris is obsessed with Orchard Thieves, Heineken if you're reading (which I'm sure you are) please bring this to the UK!
visited my family in Carrick Finn, the beach there is so beautiful, even on a less than sunny day
my parents went to London and brought me back lots of goodies from The Rolling Stones Exhibition - people are going to actually think I went :P I wish I could have though, it looks so good
My parents got me these amazing boots from Office for my birthday (even though its 3 months away) I feel like Bowie in them
In March I pre-ordered The Kills new limited edition vinyl and I was part of the lucky 250 who got a signed zine with it :) woo!

I'm pretty unsure with how summer will go this year but I'm going to put a lot of work into writing and blogging

Today was one of those days when I couldn't stop applying eyeliner but hey I kind of like it that way. I got the velvet joni jeans in the sale this Christmas but they are sold out online now. Its annoying that most of my clothes and shoes are in Dublin. I've been rotating between two pairs of shoes all month. I've been listening to Ziggy Stardust all day, its becoming a new favourite

New Years Eve Outfit

necklace - topshop (sold out online similar here)

 I think this gold dress is perfect for a New Years party and the pointed chelsea boots give the look a bit of an edge. I will be spending New Years Eve in Cardiff this year :) I'm flying out tomorrow evening (if the weather permits!). I went to Derry on boxing day to do a little shopping. I bought the necklace that I'm wearing in this outfit and a few other things in the picture below. I reckon I still have a few more days to wear the Christmas jumper that I bought :P 
(grey jumper - river island, christmas jumper - topshop, velvet high-waisted joni jeans - topshop, christmas socks - h&m, blue jumper - h&m, oversized grey tshirt - new look)

Merry Christmas :)

Merry Christmas everyone :) I hope you've had a nice day x
I got the coolest things this year, my boyfriend got me a fred perry dress, the coolest chelsea boots, a record my Tess Parks and the new Morrissey book. My family cute me a few cute little things like Pandora earrings and this teddybear, you can see it all below

I took some pictures of my outfit today too, I feel so cool in Fred Perry ;) I just love the tennis skirt on this dress

I'm so happy with all I got, I am well and truly spoilt. I've had a nice Christmas at home in Donegal with my family, how have you been spending Christmas? :)
