Winter inspiration – The coloured coat

It has been a while since I touched this space! As a creative person myself I went through a creative drought period and lack of motivation! It happens to the best of us. You see visiting Greece for the Greek Easter, experiencing the lovely weather and eating all this amazing food led to major holiday blues when coming back to grey Dublin…

It has been so cold and grey but at least I get to wear my lovely winter coats and not my big puffy jacket! You always need to see the bright side of things! All this chilly weather got me thinking of all these lovely and oversized coats that will be out in stores in the next few months and I am definitely in the look for one.

Colourful coats in spring time are the best way of kissing away winter and welcoming all summery happy, and colourful outfits,

Here are a few of my favourites colours for coats worn by two of my favourite and most inspirational ladies in fashion, Olivia Palermo and Anna Dello Russo.

Local Designers

I don’t get to spent much of my time any more to my home town but whenever I get a chance I always love to walk around the city discoverimg the new hot spots and new shops that have sprung through my months absence.

This time a walk down the city centre reminded my of the artistic flair that this city has. I was pleasantly surprised that a few local designer had joined their forces together opening up a small design gallery  where I got to explore their creations.

Happy May

Just arrived to the airport and while waiting to board I just had to type a sneaky and quick little post to all of you and wish you all a lovely long weekend!
I am heading home to celebrate the Greek Easter ( I know we are a bit behind than the rest of the world)

Dressed in the happiest and most colourful outfit I am so excited to experience a bit of warmth and sun shine!
Hopefully I will be sharing my next post while lying on the beach!

Blue Inspiration

After seeing these outfits presented in the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia S/S 13 – 14, it seemed that the majority of Australian designers were focusing on metallic colours and striking blues.

Having all this in mind my next purchase was already decided adding to my ever growing make up collection a bit of this blue glamour. A cheap and cheerful No7 Eyeliner by Boots did the trick and it carries the name of Sky Highs! Inspirational indeed!

Using a natural colour eye shadow as the base just follow the natural line of your eye and extend ever so slightly just to make your look a bit more dramatic. Finish up with a blue mascara and light colour lipstick.

For this look I felt that my Anna Dello Russo earings from her latest collaboration with H&M had to be taken out of their fancy box and on my little ears! These must be my ultimate summer night out accessories.

A very easy look to pool and especially my favourite for this summer.

Would love to know if you will be incorporating blue in your make up routine for this summer. Feel free to send me your comments either on this space or on facebook or twitter page. I am always on them.

And don’t forget if you liked this post then leave some love (like/share). It is much appreciated!
