Cozy jumpers, warm fires, Irish coffees, mulled wines, snuggles, baths… These are a few of the many reasons to love autumn/winter. Walking in the rain is a new addition to this list. Yes… in 2015, I discovered a new love. The feeling when the rain drops shower on your face, cascading slowing in rivulets down your cheek and the wind whispers gently in your ear; you can barely see the road and perhaps your hands are so cold but you rejoice in the fact you are able to enjoy one of nature’s beautiful gifts. Ah Ireland… I am starting to see your magical beauty

              On that note, my outfit for the week is this beautiful affordable knit jumper from New Look. It feels amazing and is big enough to make you feel like you are enveloped in a cocoon. So so soft!! Bonus points come from the sleeves or lack thereof and the pockets. It honestly is my favourite jumper so far. Oh did I mention the colour? Such a rich mixture of browns and dark gold

              Moving unto pleather!! I love that term. So much easier than saying faux leather. My pleather leggings are from H&M. They definitely give this look a chic edge to it and at a very affordable price too. This season will definitely see more pleather in my wardrobe.

             The amazing leopard print heels are an old staple in my wardrobe. The print shoes matched beautifully with the knit jumper and the river island handbag. River Island does one of the best high street bags and they make for amazing Christmas presents.

I have to highlight the earrings from The Sirkka Collection. She makes such beautiful pieces. They can be as simple or unique as you want and best of all, they are super affordable. Go to her Facebook page or follow her on Instagram and order your pieces. Another perfect Christmas/birthday gift idea

Special thanks to Mz Jillian O’Keefe, the photographer of the shoot. We had so much fun running away from moving cars in the freezing cold and trying to figure the perfect camera settings. 

I cannot end without talking about the recent attacks in the world. All we can do is support and pray for peace and unity. #prayforpeace

In praise of autumn leaves and Knee high boots.

I hate the cold. But I love autumn/winter outfits. Autumn in Ireland is truly one of the most beautiful seasons of the year; the one season during which fallen leaves are a thing of beauty not to be swept away. My first outfit official autumn/winter outfit reflected this change in season hints of brown and black. I couldn’t wait to officially wear long boots, and it was warm enough that I didn’t even need to wear tights (I know how much we as women hate those awful contraptions – if only thigh highs were more practical).

I call this look - "Weekend Chic"

As a female on the taller side, I try to find over the knee boots and let me tell you, it is hard. These knee high boots (over the knee to my ladies on the shorter side – oh how I envy you) are from Kurt Geiger. I got them on one of their amazing sales for an astonishing discount. Did I say champagne taste on a Proseco budget? Yup

They are so comfortable, soft, and most of all, are suede. I am a suede lover. It just gives that ooommphhh to your shoes J

If you didn’t know it, now you know that shift and shirt dresses are "IN" and for two simple reasons; Versatility and simplicity. They can be worn to work, on a night out, for shopping (easy in, easy out) … in fact they are just perfect. You will hit the jackpot if you find that perfect black shift dress. Make sure you get one for this season. You will not regret it. This was purchased at H&M but Boohoo has the best collection of shift dresses available. 

The sleeveless waterfall jacket, you recognize from a previous post. I feel amazing every time I put it on especially on mild days. 

Last year was all about the capes and this year, it's hats. Fedoras, boaters, you name it. They are prefect accessory for autumn weekends. Find a style you love and rock it, weather you are shopping, brunching or being a tourist. 

My honorable photographer Shannon Lim took these amazing pictures at the University of Limerick campus in Castletroy. It is perfect for Sunday romantic walks
