OUT with the old and IN with the new

This week I have had a massive clear-out happening in my wardrobe...yaay you know what that means right? NEW STUFFF

Anywhooo some of you might know I have been using the App called DEPOP for some time now, as I see it as a great way of selling barely worn or never been worn clothes( which I have a load of eeek) some of my old shoes and accessories! At least you know they're going to loving homes eh? ha

For any of you who want to check out what I'm selling and follow me, my username is: @Kates24

Now for the NEW...there are plenty of stores that are having summer sales at the mo (well except River Island....sigh...one thing worth waiting for all summer am I right girls?)

Zara, Pull and Bear, Stradivarius and a load of other online stores have some amazing stuff on sale and of course not on sale! Does anyone else have this problem too? Go into a store and fall in love with the full price stuff :(

I am dying to pick up a few essentials that my wardrobe is missing over the next few weeks

So that's all for today guys, I just thought I would give you all a quick update on what's been going on this week!

Hope you all enjoy the rest of the  weekend :)

June's payday wish list

 Another month is nearly over with and it's finally payday...Wuhoo thank god for that! Is it just me or is this year just flying by?!! 

Anyways here's a roundup of all the things that I am  lusting after this month....

There is a mix of both beauty and fashion related pieces

Taking inspiration from the über stylish and one of my all time favourite bloggers Sincerely Jules...I am on the quest to find the perfect pair of white skinny jeans!

 I've fallen in love with these two pairs of shoes from River Island...especially the platform espadrilles! A few of the girls in work have these and they highly recommend them and for €32 you can't go wrong! The second pair are part of the limited edition range and come it at a whopping €80 but are bang on trend at the mo!

This month was the one time of the year when all of my beauty products have come to the end at the exact same time sob sob! So I've had to reorder my new favourite foundation which is the Laura Mercier oil free photo edition foundation! But while I was browsing the Brown Thomas website I came across the eyeshadow sticks also from Laura Mercier, which are meant to be amazing!

And finally, a duster coat or a sleeveless duster blazer! I have been on the hunt for one of these for the past few months but just haven't found the ONE just yet! River Island, New Look and Missguided have some fab ones so perhaps a purchase will be made over the weekend heehee 

Hope everyone has an amazing weekend and a lovely payday!! AND don't forget

Mini haul

 Hello loves <3

It comes as no surprise that I have done a bit of shopping this month haha..as those of you who know me well know that it occurs on a much more regular basis than it should! But yolo!

Soo here's a few bits that I've picked up over the month SOO far....

I picked up this adorable crop tshirt and plastic tumbler glass in Penneys!

Now us Irish gals are always on the search for a new tan & I've heard great things about the Sunkissed tan which is available in Penneys so I thought I would give it a go as im all outta tan at the mo.

The next thing is SoSueMe nail polish in the shade Rock Candy... I have high expectations for this polish and love the colour range (I found it hard to pick just one but thought I'd better try it out first) so it better live up to €7 price tag!! Haha

I was back over in London at the start of the month for my bestie's birthday. We went to a polo match (very sophisticated I know) it was an amazing day out & weekend all round. Anyways I nabbed this uber cute bright orange blocky heels to go with my outfit in work. They're super comfy considering I was in them for about 12 hours (eek) and a steal at that for €59 as they are bang on trend at the mo!

And lastly one cannot go into Penneys and leave without an exfoliator..especially at this time of the year ☀️

So that's a round up of my mini haul which is mainly Penneys. No surprise there at all for those that know me! 

I will have a full post up tomorrow on my trip to London so keep an eye out for that!

My weekend in London

Now I know it's been a few weeks since my weekend in London, when I went over to visit my bestie MJ... BUT I thought it was about time I did a blog post about my activities/outfits from my whirlwind visit!

I did of course indulge in some retail therapy in Selfridges!

Now it's not what you are all thinking haha okay! It was in the PRIMARK section on the ground floor in Selfridges, it carries all of the best selling lines from the current S/S'15 collection and also the Limited Edition pieces....here's a quick peep at what I bought and some of my outfits whilst I was over there.

So hope you enjoy <3

On Friday evening we had cocktails in the W London hotel before our show. We went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which was soo good! I would highly recommend it!

SATURDAY; We attended the Vogue Fashion Festival. Which was just an amazing experience for all fashion and beauty lovers like myself....we started off by getting our nails done by the Topshop team,then make-up done by Bobbi Brown and our own photo-shoot and Vogue cover shoot, in which we got to pick our own Chanel accessories (wow) it was just an all round brilliant day!

My outfits details are as follows: Mac/trench coast from Bershka, jeans by Zara, hat and grey top from Penney's, shoes are from Dune(no surprise there eh?) and finally my Michael Kors black bag.

On Saturday evening we then headed out to a friends house warming party. I kept my outfit very simple and comfy, I paired my favourite ripped skinnies with a plain white cami from Missguided, new heels from Topshop ( which I lasted about 10 mins in :) my new favourite bright yellow jacket from Stradivarius and one of the new necklaces from Primark.

Sunday we had a chilled day and wandered around Primrose Hill and around lots of cool markets in other parts of the city (remembering names is not one of my strongpoints!) but we finished off the day with a few too many cocktails in Ladybird in Angel, food in Chipotle, ice-cream then to bed.

Here's a peek at what I bought on my trip which includes the duty free in both Dublin and Gatwick airports. It was an all round great weekend and can't wait to go back in a few weeks!

Well I hope you all enjoyed today's post....:)
