"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page"





So to say it's been a while since I posted on here would be an understatement.
 Laziness, lack of laptop, no inspiration to post and a new job is all of the excuses and many more!

This summer my housemate (work buddy, drinking buddy etc etc) and I decided that the sights of Sligo would just not do this year and instead we are going Inter-railing around Europe!

We have done the weekends away, drinking holidays, girly holidays so instead we are going for something a little different.

Four weeks.
2 flights.
10 cities.
 8 countries.
1 train ticket.


July can not come quick enough!

anyone else gone inter-railing before?

Catch Up!

So once again I am lacking in the blogsphere!!
TUT TUT!!

The last month a lot of things have been going on, first of all at the end of October I GRADUATED :) 





So finally with the degree in the bag thanks to NUIG, we enjoyed a few days in Galway until......  
*DUN DUN DUN* 
my purse and iPhone got stolen.
So this lead to a few days of unhappiness no iphone and 40 euro down but thankfully I had insurance on my phone so I got a new one a month later. 
Also to anyone that has an iPhone GET the find my iPhone app!!
I had it set up but unfortunately didn't have icloud set up properly so we couldn't track the phone when it was stolen. Anyway everything worked out in the end and I am building up the stolen cards for my new purse!
So having to go back to a blockia for a month had me out of the social media world for a while because SURPRISE SURPRISE my laptop stopped working!

At the minute I am currently in South-end on sea in Essex visiting a friend, heading to London tomorrow and I CANNOT wait!! 


Now I'm off into town on my own, wish me luck that I don't get lost, ekk!!

Kylie Jenner's Style!

 Celebrity Style Inspiration
Kylie Jenner



She may be only 16 years old but at such a young age she is a fashion icon worldwide. From her instagram photos to her tumblr-  kalifornia-klasss.tumblr.com you can she she oozes style and rarely get's it wrong. She doesn't always opt for expensive brands with the first pair of shorts from Irish Brand Custom Vintage Dublin- www.customvintagedublin.com.






She knows how to dress for her age whether that be covering herself up or exposing just the right amount of skin.













I love how her style goes from simple tops with levi shorts and beanies to causal dresses, and classy black jeans. She has such simple outfits and it always looks so effortless. 

I just wish I had her wardrobe *sigh*

How much does your face cost?


The Rules: Add up the total cost of all cosmetics used to complete a typical day look, excluding skincare and brushes!!

Face:




1.Concealer: Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection (3 Medium) 6.49















2.Foundation: Catrice Ultimate Moisture Fresh Skin Make Up (030 Honey) 6.99

















3.Powder: Catrice All Matt Plus (030 Warm Beige) 4.49


















4.Blusher: Catrice Defining Blush (020 Rose Royce) 3.99


















Eyes

5.Urban Decay Naked Palette 44.00








7. Catrice 'Liquid Liner' (01 Dating Joe Black) 3.99


6. Catrice Better than false lashes' Mascara (Ultra Black) 4.49













Lips:





8. Vaseline Petroleum Jelly (Original) 2.19



So my face in total costs: 76.63 (£64.36 Sterling, $104.26 US Dollars). It does actually cost a lot considering that most of the products are drug store. The only expensive item is the Urban Decay Naked Palette which I received as a 2012 Christmas present. It is defiantly something that will last a couple of years! 

                                                       So how much does your face cost?

"Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day"

Once again I find myself apologizing for the lack of being on here. Few reasons for this FINALLY got my laptop back, working and the days I have been off I have been SO lazy I really have.

It's weird not being back in college and it's kind of depressed me in a way. I miss being surrounded by people and friends all the time and living at home has definitely taken it's toll on me. But I decided it's time to make the best out of a bad situation and invest all my time in this and hopefully make a go of it.

So last week I headed back up to Galway for Arthurs day. Galway always has such a buzz around it all year round even in the quiet periods. But as last week was a popular day to be in Galway I headed back up to enjoy a night out and a pint of the black shtuff!!


17:59: 'To Arthur'


(I look like such a tourist)



After one too many jager bombs and lack of sleep the shops where hit hard the next day! 
I have been looking for a long time for a gold watch. A Michael Kors Gold watch is something that has been on my wantworthy list for a long time and it will be on it for a long long time to come because of the hefty 250 price tag... 

We popped into Brown Thomas to take a look at one :) 


So considering I can't bare to part with 250 right now (not that I have the luxury to part with it either...) I looked in other places that would have a cheaper price tag but still looked just as classy.  

I'm not sure where this is from but it just looks so cosy and classy. 



This one is from River Island and just €37.
I was tempted so many times to buy it but what you can't see in this photo is that the face of the watch sticks up a lot and I just never really liked it that much.  



So having seen a friend's friend with a Gold watch from Claire's Accessories I couldn't help but pick one up for myself at only 23. I had to have two links taken off to fit my wrist right but it is perfect now. 








So I finally have a 'gold' watch that will suffice until I can afford a Michael Kors one which I WILL get eventually. 

I love Gold 'Costume' jewellery they really pull an outfit together!
