Stephen’s Day / Boxing Day Beauty Sales
I am not a great sales shopper. Crowds make me anxious, I can never find anything good and usually abandon the whole thing after an hour of fruitless looking around the packed shops. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about online sales where everything is too easy to find and bargains are so good! … [Read more...]

Magpie on a Budget
When it comes to New Look I can generally take or leave it, nothing against it but not their biggest fan...that is until I got lost for a well over an hour in the jewellery section today- am I the only one who didn't know about this?! I'm easily distracted by anything shiny at the best of times, so was in my element by the ridiculous selection of gorgeous embellished necklaces that New Look are doing brilliantly. So many jewels, rope detail and lots of variety on length and colour- and the best part? They're mostly under €10! At that price I couldn't stop at one...! €6.99 down to €3.50 (!) New Look €8.99 New Look (photographing more black here but the jewels are actually more ruby/berry) €8.99 New Look. Got a little carried away- white shirt €22.99 also New Look! Well worth checking out- a very easy way to vamp up your winter wardrobe and with change from a tenner! B. (I got my goodies at New Look in Blanchardstown retail park) … [Read more...]
Autumn Florals
A couple of days ago I was stuck in the Dundrum Shopping centre waiting for a friend and thought no better time than to do some "research" in a few shops. I love autumn collections; I prefer autumn colours and cozy layers. What struck me was that a lot of the floral prints were still around! A brilliant way to carry a bit of the summer brightness and fun into the next season. I particularly liked the floral trousers paired with the biker jacket. Will you guys be wearing floral prints in autumn? Printed trousers Printed Tube Dress Long Two-Pieced DressFloral Dress with Lace Detailing A. … [Read more...]
