SS16 Fashion & Makeup Looks



So for this post I am combining fashion and makeup looks for SS16. According to Jo Elvin  Editor of Glamour Magazine this year is all about bringing it back to basics and the three key pieces that we need are: 

Tailored trousers, knee length skirt and trench coat (they are here to stay). You can style these key pieces up and down for day to night.   

My top tips:

For me a staple item of clothing to have in your wardrobe is blazer. They instantly smarten up an outfit and they can be worn very casual with skinny jeans and runners. For Spring/Summer invest in a brighter coloured blazer e.g. pastel, blue, navy or even print. 

Start adding some lighter pieces to your wardrobe for the transition e.g. shirts, trousers and tops as having these to hand means you can instantly freshen up your look. 

A handbag is also a key factor, well for me anyway (I love a big bag). Move away from the all black bag by adding bags that are brighter. 

Skinny jeans are another key piece in my wardrobe. What I love about them is that you can dress them up and down so easily. As the weather changes don't be afraid to try a different colour, like a brighter blue, white, coral or burgundy. Denim dresses and shirts are another key trend to watch out for. 

I am also loving shirt dresses which can be worn over skinny jeans or tailored trousers. You can also wear them with a bare leg and heels for a night out and the prints they are available in are so pretty.   

Below I am sharing my favorite fashion and makeup looks for SS16.

As always let me know what your fav look is?
Love & Sparkle

I adore Handbags and Parfois sell amazing bags. I always go to the one in the Pavilions Swords and there is another one located on Henry Street. They are so affordable and the quality is amazing. The bags I have featured here will ensure that you brighten up your collection for SS16.




I am no makeup artist, but I know what I like and when it comes to makeup for SS16, I like a fresh faced look (think holiday and brighter nights). Soft tones like, pink, coral, nude and bronze. Complete the look with fresh lightweight foundation and some highlighting. Celebs makeup looks I have featured are from Kate Hudson, Holly Willoughby, Kendall Jenner and Jennifer Lawrence. Then closer to home the beautiful Pippa O'Connor. She always nails the fresh look and Tara Makeup is the queen of creating dewy fresh makeup looks. One Day I will get my makeup done by her.

Kiehl's Apothecary Preparations Review

Image from Kiehl's website Hello all, this post is dedicated to Kiehl's Apothecary Preparations. What is that I hear you ask? Apothecary preparations is a high level of Personalized skincare. It addresses the following skincare concerns: WRINKLE REDUCTION TEXTURE REFINING VISIBLE REDNESS NEUTRALIZING PORE MINIMIZING BRIGHTENING I find the older I get (mid-thirties ouch) the more focused I am on my skin, I have invested in my skincare more than I used to, by adding in some high-end products. I believe in paying for a good serum. Although this product was kindly sent to me to try out, all views expressed are my own. In terms of using Kiehl's, this is my first time to use the brand and I was really intrigued to see what it was like on the skin. Kiehls as a brand has been active since 1851 so I think it's safe to say that they know what they are doing and they know what works. This range takes the brand back to its roots of creating persona...

The Bridal Studio Drogheda

Hello all, I am back with my bridal shop feature and I have recently visited two bridal shops. I was so excited to visit them, I get so much joy from doing these features. Getting to meet and chat to the fabulous Women behind these shops is a real pleasure for me.
