The Topshop Tea Dress + Wishlist

Black Tea Dress - Topshop

Sunglasses - River Island (sold out similar here)

Velvet Heels - Topshop (sold out similar here)

I took these pictures a few weeks back when I first wore this dress. I've worn it about twice since because I absolutely love it. I think the tea dress style really suits my body shape and its so easy to wear. I love the ruched sleeve and the polka dot detail on this black dress from Topshop. Tea dresses also look great as both a daytime dress and a going out dress. I wore it to a party last weekend with a peach furry clutch bag and heels and it looked so cute. 

Topshop have such a cute selection of tea dresses this summer. I've already bought the red one with ruffles even though the last thing I need is more red dresses! Here are a few of my favourite tea dresses ...

1. Red Spot Floral Tea Dress

2. Anabelle Ditsy Button Shirt Dress

3. Pink Jacquard Spot Mini Tea Dress

4. Daisy Print Ruffle Tea Dress

5. Red Paint Floral Tea Dress

6. Peony Print Blush Tie Sleeve Dress

Horfield Common

pink blouse - topshop (sold out similar here, here and here)

gingham leggings - topshop

Just a couple of pictures from one of the first sunny days this Spring, I wish we could have more days off together like this. We took the pictures in the park near out flat. The daffodils have just come out so its so pretty. It was a pretty windy day so I was fighting with my hair in most pictures. I really love this pink top, the sleeves are amazing. I've had these gingham leggings for quite a while but I thought I'd resurrect them since gingham is so popular this season. I hope you're enjoying the sun this weekend, I'm torn between writing my essays and going out the sun, why does the sun always come out during exam season!

Topshop Festive Look

velvet bomber - topshop

tinsel dress - topshop

Merry Christmas Eve!!! I thought I'd post some pictures of what I wore last night. I love all things glittery and velvet so the Christmas season is one of my favourite times of the year. I got the velvet bomber as a Christmas present and I absolutely love it. As it was so stormy last night I ended up wearing a heavier coat but I cant wait to wear it. I love this glittery dress that I got for the festive season. Both items are from Topshop and both are on sale!

  I hope you have a nice Christmas :)

Zig Zag

zig zag top - river island (sold out)
black bralet - river island (sold out similar here)

shorts - topshop on ebay (sold out similar here and here)

shoes - topshop

When I was packing for Bristol I came across this little zig zag top from River Island that I used to always wear years ago when I was obsessed with sixties style. It has inspired to experiment more with black and white and sixties patterns. I bought these black pointed heels last week from Topshop. I have a lot of black shoes but the pointed toe makes them a real statement shoe. They also remind me of the pointed heels at Miu Miu A/W 15. I'm moving to Bristol tomorrow and I really can't wait. It's going to be such a big change living in a different county but it will be an adventure too. I also can't wait for fashion week!

The Little Red Dress

dress - topshop (sold out)

A few outfit pictures from my birthday wearing my trusty red dress. I think a little red dress is an essential piece in anyone's wardrobe. I've worn this dress from Topshop on so many occasions when I couldn't decide what to wear. Unlike the LBD, the red dress is perfect for the transitional season as it can be worn as a summer dress with sandals or with a coat and boots on a colder day. I've made a wishlist of some beautiful red dresses I found online. The Millie Mackintosh button up dress is just the perfect day dress and I think the Topshop applique dress would look amazing at an Autumn wedding or on a night out :)

1. Miss Selfidge Red Ditsy Tea Dress

2. Topshop Long Sleeve Applique Mini Dress

3. ASOS Millie Mackintosh Button Up Mini Dress

4. ASOS Pleat Mini Dress with Lace Inserts

5. ASOS Ballet Wrap Skater Mini Dress

6. River Island Red Slinky Skater Dress

Comme Des Garcons Play

vintage comme des garcons play tee - heavy soul vintage @ etsy

black jamie jeans - topshop

adidas - office

I got this Comme Des Garcons t-shirt for just €30 from a vintage shop on etsy. They sell vintage  branded clothes like Fred Perry, Adidas and Tommy Hilfiger. Etsy have the best value vintage clothes and I love their handmade items so much. I'm trying to stop myself from spending all my money on enamel pins, they are literally so cool

New Hair, Don't Care

top - forever 21

jeans - topshop 

boots - schuh

my resting bitchface kind of took over in these photos, sorry. I got my haircut today at Peter Marks and I really like it. I think just above the shoulders is the length I like it. Also I've noticed that my hair has gotten pretty light at the ends, it kind of looks like a subtle balayage, woo no need to dye it now. I got this striped top from forever 21 two weeks ago. It's slightly shorter than I expected but it will look great with high-waisted shorts in the summer. I really need new black jeans, these jamie jeans from topshop have served me well but I think its time for a new pair. I'm at home this weekend but I'll be spending most of my time on college work 

Peter Marks are offering €15 blowdrys from the 15th to the 27th of February so consider it my gift too you hehe

I've been reading some music magazines I got in Cardiff this week. Dublin should really start stocking more of these, maybe I just don't know where to get them

the books I have to read this weekend, ugh help me

Moonage Daydream

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

 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

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
