Gotta love me a lil Nasty Gal.....


Yes it is officially here and I have been stalking the page ever since I heard the collection was due to release. The one and only infamous Nasty Gal Fall Collection for 2012 has arrived and hit down to its online store.

I set me eyes on it today for the first time and had to stop myself from drooling over the amazingness of each and every piece of clothing. If only I had an extra few $$$ (or €€€) in my pocket I would be on an instant splurge!

So check this bad boy collection out and hold your jaw from dropping onto the floor!







Gotta love me a lil Nasty Gal <3>

The Queen Bee is Back...........


The Queen Bee is back in town and she is showing it by being the face of her own clothing label 'House of Dereon'. The campaign images feature the brand’s muse BeyoncĂ©, wearing several key looks from the autumn/winter ’12 collection.

The much anticipated fall/winter collection was inspired by BeyoncĂ©’s historic performance at the Glastonbury Music Festival last year. The autumn delivery is focused around the ‘boho-inspired girl who attends the festival and includes floor length skirts, casual jersey tops paired with denim that is an homage to the alternative rock bands, their music and eclectic sense of style.

Look how amazing she looks just months after having Blue Ivy.






This collection brings spicy intensified tones such as burnt oranges and ruby reds, these go immensely with the aztec and leopard prints captured in the collection. The key colour seen here is the bold statement of black which pulls all of the looks together and potrays the rock/grunge trend which is big for this season. I am in love with the smouldering sexy black maxi dresses, leather look leggings teamed with a slouchy knitted jumper and the pleated leather skater skirts.

Here are some images from the collection, which you can buy online or in selected stores now.

Every girl loves Penneys ..........


If your an Irish gal then you will be sure to know 'Penneys. This fashion haven is known for it's on trend clothing at great prices and if you see it on the High Street you are sure to see something similar instore for a fraction of the price.

Every girl loves Penneys, as you can never go into the shop without coming out with something. So as soon as I got my hands onto the A/W12 Press Day and Campaign shots, I didn't think twice about uploading them straight away to my blog.

The collection captures some amazing looks. With the retro 60's vibe being dominant with it's bright colours and neons you are sure to brighten up any ensemble this winter. This part of the collection brings quirky knitted jumpers, fitted pencil skirts, prints & patterns to the table, so you are sure to be kitted out for the winter.

Another part of the collection shown here is more of a neutral tone elegant pallette which has some lavish colour mixes. From snow whites, creamy beiges, buttermilk yellows, pale blues to icey pinks this story is nearly eadable and is taking over from the pastels this summer which were a hit.


Take a look at some of the fab photos taken at the Press Day......








And finally here are the Campaign shots which you will be seeing a lot more of this A/W12.








 Definatley my favourite look!




So if anything catches your eye be sure to keep an eye out when in your in Penneys as you know once it's instores it is gone! And for any of those Irish girls that are currently in Aussie land like myself, start sending those pictures to your Mam/Sister and get your order in ASAP :-)

I love the 90's.......


I was sitting eating my porridge this morning, in a day dream and suddenly I got this wave of all the things I grew up around being a 90's child and how come we don't have them anymore?
I started to go into deep thought rhyming of the mountain of things that I used to have from putting Sun-In in my hair thinking I was going to be peroxide blonde and wanting my Mother to buy every box of Kelloggs box of Corn flakes so I could get every colour refelctor for my bike becuase I wanted to be the girl on the road with the most reflectors!



So if you grew up in the 90's you definatley will remember these....

- Going on holiday and coming back with a coloured hair braid and leaving it in for well past it's time


- Owning a ridiculous amount of scrunchies and those tacky hairbands with your name in glitter on  them


- You always wanted to be on 'Fun House' with Pat Sharp and the twins

 
- Collecting pogs, stickers & fancy papers

- Watched Sharkie & George, Count Duckula & Trap Door  (Cause there was something down there)

- Went to The Body Shop to put on White Musk or any sort of Vanilla Perfume


- Put wella colour streaks in your hair

- Owned a shell tracksuit or the tracksuit bottoms with the popper buttons


- You owned or wanted a Bennetton jumper and a Fruit of the Loom T- shirt of jumper was a must.


- Buying Smash Hits religiously every week for the song lyrics and of course the gigantic posters. ( I was obsessed with the Backstreet Boys)

- On Friday you watched Top of the Pops followed by the Crystal Maze and then Saturday evening you watched Baywatch, Gladiators, The Generation Game  and Noels House Party.


- You either liked or loathed Trolls

- You bought Hooch/Mugshot or Woodies alco pops


- Knowing the dance to the Macrena and Saturday Night


- You watched Biker Grove and got up on Saturday morning to watch Live & Kicking and not forgetting Saved by the Bell, Sister Sister, Kenan & Kell and Sabrina the Teenage Witch


 - Remember the Big Breakfast and Good Morning with Mr. Motivator?

- You wore stick on earrings, not just on your ears but at the corner of your eyes or in between them , WTF?

- You had to have a jewellery box and if not you were getting one out of the Elizabeth Duke Collection (Argos of course)

 - Going to the shop to buy all the chewist sweets you could find including Wham bars, Fruit salad sweets, Dan bars, Roy rovers ( my favourite) the list goes on

- Getting a Furby for christmas and owning several Tomagotchis (what the hell was the craze?)

- Knowing the whole theme song to 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air'

- Of course owning a Spice Girls album

-  Owning a pair of Kickers and Wallaby's (eeewwww the memories haha)



Blogging about this has taken me back and I am cringing haha....

Sharing my secret fashion finds......

So today instead of blogging about my usual celebrities and trends, I thought I would blog about some of my favourite online shops. And before you ask , it's a NO as I am not going to state the obvious with Asos.com, Topshop and River Island etc. I am going to share my secret finds over the past while :)



SABO SKIRT:
I found this lust worthy website at the beginning of the year when I was researching into Aussie fashion before I came over. It was founded by two bestie bloggers who have such a love for fashion like myself. With its flowy feminine features to every item of clothing and dainty touches to their accessories, this definatley is a website to lust over.




GYPSY WARRIOR:
This treasure chest of gems and jewels is a gateway to any accessory lover. With stores on Etsy/Ebay and on the World Wide Web, they are taking over the online shopping forum. They stock clothing and accessories but they are known for their customised iphone covers and jewellery.





YES.I FASHION:
This korean online gold mine I found on Instagram. As soon as I seen the amazing one of pieces that they produce I knew I had to see what else they had instore. With silk bomber jackets hitting down this week and unique dresses you haven't seen in the high street, you are bound to feel special on Saturday night knowing no one else will have them. They also stock some amazing iphone cases and shoes.







STORETS:
This online haven is my favourite online store of all. Being common amongst bloggers and with it's one of touches, being amazing on price and everything being on trend, you will want to buy one of everything. There is an array of variety on this website and everyone will find something that accquires to their taste. Check out my favourite finds....





HAPPY SHOPPING :-)
