Photo Diary: Beaches, Bowling and Blondie

insta pictures from summer so far :)

I went to the beach last week, it was a lot more cold than it looks so I didn't get a chance to sunbathe :(

this picture makes Ireland look a lot more exotic than it is

I went to Derry shopping last week and I picked up a record, a purse from River Island and a few things from Topshop

St. Vincent record

Its still raining here but I'm going to pretend that its sunny anyway and wear this straw hat indoors hehe. I really love this paisely top from topshop, its supposed to be worn off the shoulder but it was too cold for that :P

awkward angle photo 

I was listening to this record today. It's the 40th anniversary release of Blondie' greatest hits, it also came with their newest album Ghosts of Download, a poster and a dvd of an early gig at the cbgbs (that I have yet to watch)

I'm selling these boots and some other things on depop, my username is emmamarieod. I'm shipping to Ireland, the uk and Europe :)

Topshop Unique Pre Fall Favourites

Topshop Unique Pre Fall 2015 by emmamodonnell featuring an oversized jacket

Unique pleated dress, €305 / Unique embroidered dress, €265 / Unique silk crop top, €130 / Unique ruffle top, €115 / Unique oversized jacket, €305 / Unique skirt, €250 / Unique high rise shorts, €195 / Unique wide leg trousers, €115

I really like the seventies style of this year's Topshop Unique Pre Fall collection. I'm not surprised that the silk floral dress that Alexa Chung wore to the Topshop Unique show at London Fashion Week is now sold out. It's such a pretty dress and because its so lightweight it can be worn throughout summer. I think the velvet suit jacket is also very Alexa Chung. It reminds me of an outfit she wore to Glastonbury last year. The suede mustard skirt and the brown floral shirt are perfect for that awkward transition from summer to autumn. The tailored nude trousers look very sophisticated and would complete a clean minimalist look. I think the silver brocade dress and leather shorts would look amazing around the Christmas/New Year season. At London fashion week, the collection was also supported by Cara Delevingne who wore the white ruffled shirt with the Angie leather skirt and Jourdan Dunn who wore the Mason cropped leather jacket and shorts.

You can view the lookbook on Topshop's website here and shop the collection here

sunglasses - river island
parka - topshop

top - topshop

shorts - miss selfridge

I really want to wear this outfit to a festival. I've been listening to my rolling stones albums today and now I'm in such a festival mood. I love this top so much, the fringing is so cool. I got it in Topshop ages ago but I didn't have any high waisted shorts to wear with it but I got these black ones in Miss Selfridge recently. They have some really nice shorts atm. I have such a love/hate relationship with this parka, I like the oversized look but I think I'm too short to pull it off hehe
