P R O M

Last Thursday, I had my prom (or debs as they call it in every other county it seems), which is obviously a huge event at the end of secondary school. I waited months for this day, much like my other school companions (even the boys were excited about their suits).

Dress: Ariella London
Shoes: ASOS



Hair & makeup fabulously done at a local salon!

I had a fabulous night with my friends at school, and felt like a princess! I felt even more like a princess, Cinderella to be exact, when I lost one of my shoes at the end of the night. Although I am yet to have my prince charming to give it back to me....

I hope you enjoyed this post! I'll chat to you next week with a more Christmassy post!

Christmas Gift Guide 2015


Today, I am here with my second post in my Christmas series, whish is a Christmas gift guide for him and for her! I have taken inspiration from what I'm getting my friends and family this year, and I hope perhaps you gain some inspiration also.


                                  HIM

I know extremely well how difficult it is to buy gifts for my dad and my brother! The first thing is a mug, which will probably not apply to the majority of you, but as my brother is studying geology I thought it would be a great (and funny) gift for him! It can be something relevant to what they like or find funny, and proves to be quite a thoughtful yet servicable gift.

The next thing is a portable power bank which is €6 from Penneys. This is a great gift for anyone really, as basically everyone has a smart phone that usually uses battery when they're being used out of the house.

The next thing is a Carluccio cookbook (€14.99 Easons)! This is a great gift for dads or especially for brothers (or sisters) who are off at uni and living away from home.  I know this would be especially useful for my brother.

The last thing is slippers, which is an extremely simple gift, but everyone needs slippers! These are €15 from Littlewoods, but obviously there are far cheaper ones in the likes of Primark and Dunnes.

                                          HER

The first thing for her is a Santa Lush bathbomb. This is a really universal gift for your mam, sister or friends. Most bathbombs are about €5, which may not be the cheapest but sure are worth it!

The next thing is slightly pricier at €28.99, which is a brush set from Real Techniques. I swear by these brushes, and I know my friends and mam do too.

The next thing which is a nice gift is a notebook. This one is £6 from Urban Outfitters, but you can really get them anywhere in shops like Penneys or Tiger, where they're budget friendly and lovely gifts all the same.

The final thing is a No7 Cleansing Brush Gift Set €43.50

Christmas Wishlist

First of all, where have I been?

I'm in my final year of secondary school, and for my Christmas result, we've been doing assessments over the last three months, which has proved stressful and extremely time consuming!

My last two tests are this week, which means hopefully more time to study to more of a schedule, and actually more time to blog!

Today I have my Christmas wishlist, and I know, it's perhaps a tad early (although December is tomorrow) to start my Christmas series, but why not! The season is short after all.

                                      

First thing on my wishlist is the Blank Canvas cream contour palette. I have been using a powder for my contour, but my friend has this one and I feel it gives a lot more definition.

The next thing is a burgundy midi skirt from Missguided. I've been eyeing this skirt up for a while, and I think it will be fab for casual or formal wear. 

I would also love the new album 'Purpose' by Justin Bieber. His new songs have been so catchy lately, and I'm not ashamed to say I love all of the songs I've heard!

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is definitely at the top of my book list! I've wanted this for a while but haven't really been able to find it anywhere! 

The final thing on this wish list is a palette from Morphe. The palette has lots of colours and seeing as I want to extend my eyeshadow skills, this palette will definitely help.

I hope you enjoyed this post and that perhaps it gave you inspiration for your own wish list or for another person!

Until next time,
Kate
