Hey Dolls,

Festival fashion is one of those styles that Irish gals do oh so well! Some rock boho vibes, others choose neon and glitter for festivals but one thing we all have in common for festival season is that we love to look our best and take it as an opportunity to express ourselves.

A festival is a time to wear bright colours, the summer is in and it is time to forget all your worries. Let your hair down with your bestie and have a ball feeling and looking your best!


Hey Dolls,

Every now and then a gal must splash out and treat herself, what better way to do that than with a new pair of shoes?

Pom Poms are a huge trend this season and I absolutely love them, they're so summery and the perfect way to add your own personal style to your outfit. They are sure to grab everyones attention and perfect for your holidays.


Hey Dolls,

On Monday I headed to the National Botanic Gardens to shoot this look. I've never been and it's so beautiful. I was blown away by how stunning the gardens were. I will definitely be visiting more now that Sienna is a little older. We had such a nice picnic under the trees and there were squirrels running around, it was just lovely.



Hey Dolls,

I wanted to share this look with you and talk a little about body confidence and regaining your style if you've lost it along the way. It's taken me almost 9 months to start to feel like myself again after having Sienna. 
Hey dolls!

We're just back from Marbella, we had the best time! It was our first family holiday and a big group of us flew to Spain for a friends wedding. The whole time was so chilled and relaxed. I got the chance to catch up with lots of old friends, had the craic and was really able to unwind! It really was so much fun and so nice to travel with such a big group of friends. It was lovely to spend the week with Chris and Sienna, we had so much fun with her and she was the perfect age for going away. Each day she is getting funnier and her personality is so cute. She is such a charmer and was a big hit with everyone on holidays.



Hey dolls,

I'm finally getting around to sharing my holiday outfits with you all. If you missed my snapchat I headed to Portugal last week for a friends Hen party. We stayed in the fabulous Vilamoura in beautiful villas in Laguna Resort. They really were stunning.


Bomber jackets are having a huge moment in fashion right now! Every celebrity you can imagine has been spotted sporting different styles and it is a trend that has taken the high street by storm. Just like the Military Jacket trend there are so many options on the market, from satin bombers to this gorgeous embroidered frill one from Zara, you will be spoiled for choice when you choose to invest in one for summer.










HeyDolls,

I hope you are all well and enjoying the bit of sunshine we're having. I wanted to share this look with you all and also how I manage to be on the go most day. I find it so important to be out and about and have my own independence especially now having Sienna.

From the first week she was born I made it my business to get out, even when Chris wanted me to stay home. I just needed to get the first car ride, that first walk out of the way. I wanted to feel confident moving her in and out of the car and getting my independence back before Chris went back to work.

I know its very hard to adjust to parenthood especially when your other half goes back to work. I think the longer you leave it to do those small things that scare you, they harder they seem. I loved being out and about with Sienna and being able to go to events and do the normal things I did before she was here.

After having a baby it's often a daunting time, hormones and emotions are at an all time high and it's not just you anymore, you have a tiny human to take care of. The last thing on your mind is packing up everything and the kitchen sink and heading to the local cafe for a cuppa. I know this might seem like nothing to most of you but for a new Mam this is a huge ordeal.

My advice is to just do the things scare you, put yourself out of your comfort zone, everything always seems more stressful than it really is. Oh and always give yourself an extra hour to get ready haha. you never know what might happen! Poo explosions, spit up, feeding time!

I love being out and about and being busy, it's just who I am. I also think it is good for the baby to be out and meeting people. It will help with later on when they begin to make strange. Sienna is usually great in every situations, I bring her to events and even meetings. I definitely put it down to bringing her with me when she was really young. My mam always says we are always off somewhere :)

I hope you found this post helpful, I will link the outfit below.

Hey Dolls,

I have learned over the years the putting effort into my appearance always makes me feel better. As someone who suffers from anxiety and has been depressed in the past, sometimes the idea of having a shower and getting dressed is so much harder than it seems. When I was in the depths of depression I would have panic attacks at the thoughts of a shower and facing the world.

On my down days I always find the best thing to pull myself out of it is getting dressed up and putting a bit of makeup on. I don't know what it is about getting done up but It always makes me feel better. I think looking in the mirror and looking better than I'm feeling helps to lift my spirits.

I've had messages in the past from followers asking me how I manage to get up and go. Some mornings I don't feel like getting up and facing the world but once I get over the initial thought I'm fine.

After my dad passed away I made my Mam a little sign to remind her to put on her makeup everyday. Each morning she when she looked in the mirror and seen the sign she put on some of her makeup and she always felt a bit better.

Even if you're not going out I always say if you're not feeling great don't mope around the house in your pyjamas, getting into the shower, put on a nice outfit, a slick of makeup and look in the mirror and tell yourself you're beautiful. It will help, I promise.

Hey Dolls,

I am obsessed with this jumper and when I spotted it in penny's I didn't really think much of it to be honest. It was only when I got it home and tried it on did I fall in love. It's the perfect shape, so comfortable & the sleeve detail is so cute.

Dressing for your new post baby body can be hard, lord knows I know how hard. I found it so hard to adjust to my new body and it took me quiet awhile to be able to go out shopping again and to finally get my style back. I don't miss maternity wear that's for sure.

One thing I have found when shopping is going one size up then you normally would. I find buying jeans the biggest struggle. I went from a size 10 to a size 16 and now I'm only accepting that buying an 18 is more comfortable. For months I was squeezing myself into my size 16 river island molly's and it was just so uncomfortable. I find going one size up so much better, it's not only more comfortable but you feel better because you're not poured into your  jeans.

I find that oversized knits like this one from Penny's the best for a post baby belly, it hides that little bump that I just cant seem to get rid of and also is so comfortable. I stay well away from cropped tighter jumpers.

Finally white jeans are acceptable to wear and I love them. They make me feel like spring is here and summer is not too far away. The baby pink of this jumper is one of my favourite colours lately and so fresh for the warmer days. If you want to shop any of these looks check out the links below.

Hey Dolls,

This look is so me, I'm obsessed with everything embroidered. I wore this nude leather skirt out last weekend on a night out and I wanted to pair it with this jumper to wear it during the day. I love nude pink with grey, its just very girlie and fresh. This look would also be fab minus the tights once the weather gets a little warmer.

I will link all the pieces below for you to shop this look.

Hey dolls,

Today was the first day this year I felt like spring was in the air and it got me so excited for summer. I love this look, its edgy but boho at the same time and anything embroidered has me at hello. I'm obsessed. As for these leather trousers, can I just say how difficult it is for me to fit into leather trousers. It was even difficult before the pregnancy never mind now. I love everything about them, the fit, the stretch, the look. They feel amazing on and make me feel amazing more importantly.

I will link all the items here so you can shop them if you like.

Hey dolls,

Today I'm back with another bump style post. I just hit the 9 month mark so I want to capture as much of my bump before its gone. If you hadn't noticed I'm quiet obsessed with it haha. I've never been happier in my own skin but cant wait for Baby Faces to be here. I've been in maternity clothes since about the 3 month mark and I know how difficult is can be to find stylish maternity wear. I feel like I kind of lost my style but recently Ive found some new pieces that made dressing my bump easier. I'd love to bring out my own maternity range in the future, I never realised how difficult it was for pregnant women to find nice clothes!!! The struggle is real.










I love this look, it's so girlie and I dressed it up with accessories, the bag is my fave. Ive linked all items below for you if you wanna take a look.
