Patterned Trousers 

Patterned Trousers are one of the hottest looks this Summer . They are chic, funky and sophisticated and perfect for our mixed Irish weather. They are available in harem loose fitting or peg leg styles which makes the look wearable for  most people.

Add a basic block colour cami or a knit to achieve a versatile day to night look.

LETS GET PACKING

Lets be truthful and admit it ,we are all guilty of over packing , whether its a weekend away or a sun holiday for a week we have all done it at some stage. Being women its only human nature to take everything with us just in case.

I have learned that travelling lighter and that  by having a packing plan you can be alot more successful.

HERE IS SOME TIPS

Plan your outfits before you even start packing.Keep your bed free so you can lay down your ensembles together

Deciding factors on what your bringing should be to do with your holiday location, weather, season etc. Consider everything you might be doing.

I always think of shoes first , have a comfy day pair that will work for casual wear and have a night time pair for dinner and more glam outfits,have a spare pair of gladiators which will take you from day into night.

Take multifunctional garments which can be dressed up or down such as maxi, mini or midi dresses and skirts. They are great for both day and night and are generally light and cool.

Colour code your outfits.Choose garments which will work with one and other.One basic cardigan should be sufficient for evenings.

Rolling your garments can create more room and also avoid creasing.

Use a see through wash bag with separate compartments , its easier to find all your toiletries and you can see what you have packed.

Skin colour seamless underwear is generally good so grab some neutral undies they will work with most outfits.

You will more than likely be wearing your swimsuit or bikini most of the time during the day so have a few bikinis to choose from.Pack a sarong as it can double it up as a scarf or shawl for the evening time.

Delegate certain items to all your travelling companions, eg hair appliances.

Accessories should be neutrals either silver or gold will work with most of your cloths.

Before zipping up give a final glance and have one last clear out of any bits you really do not need.

Take a safe secure handbag with multi pockets to keep all your personal belongings safe and easy to find.

ANIMAL PRINT FOR SUMMER 

YAY OR NAY

When it comes to animal print, you are either a lover or a hater. I have gotta say I love it .This Summer its hitting our shops in all different shapes and forms from Maxi dresses to Shorts, to Bikinis to Tops to Bags.

Animal print can look great when its put together right. 

Here is some tips on teaming up matching and accessorising your animalistic outfit.

Add white in form of a shirt , top , jacket or an accessory such as a belt, it breaks up the look and keeps you not looking to in touch with nature.

Add gold accessories in form of a belt or jewels, bangles add a girly feminine festival feel to Animal prints.

Denim jackets are great for a day look , team up with your animal print dress and enjoy .

Work this look and feel like a feline.

FINDING THE RIGHT STYLE JEAN FOR YOU

Jeans are possibly one of the best investments in your wardrobe. It takes time to find the perfect Jean so be prepared to do lots of fitting on. Everybody has a different body shape so lucky for us Jean Designers are constantly designing new styles.

Know what body shape you are and figure out what shape suits you best. 

I am of tall stature with long legs and a short body so I have learned over the years that high waisted slim fitting jeans suit me best. Vero moda do some great high waisted jeans in different denims and different leg lengths so they work for me and they are very affordable.

 If you have some extra cash and and you want to treat yourself .G Star or Salsa do fantastic Jeans. They lift your butt and create a fab silhouette

Street One is another great label for Jeans, they carry an assortment of shapes from skinny to straight to bootcut to slim , high, medium and low rise. All priced very reasonably. For curvier girls I would strongly recommend this label for Jeans. Street One jeans can be found in Fionas Boutique Skibbereen in an array of sizes and fits.

Stay tuned for more tips on Jeans coming soon

Moroccan Oil

Treat your hair to some of this magic remedy. Moroccan Oil leaves you hair looking smooth and silky 

but not only that it also improves the condition making it look stronger and healthier after each application. Use sparingly on wet or dry hair. It smells great. I use the light version and it always gets the desired glow.
