Still Too Early for Christmas Songs but....

Not Too Early for Clothes!!!

It's time to cover up and pull out that Winter wardrobe. I've spent the entire day cleaning out my room and getting super organised for one hell of a Christmas - I'll be finishing up my masters on the 20th December!!

Doing a big clean up is annoying and time consuming, but I found so much stuff I had tucked away. See the picture below for the perfect Christmas Day outfit - and it didn't cost a penny. I found my H&M tutu corset style dress from about 4 years ago, and I threw a black lace crop top I got off Boohoo over the top part of it!


If you are looking for some long sleeved, cosy Winter clothing  check out all of the popular fast-fashion websites for their latest Christmas clothes. I love how the online retailers customise a section of their websites to suit events or seasons. My favourite this year is boohoo's clever pun on Christmas with their #DRESSMAS section :)


I'd recommend to start ordering from sites like Boohoo, Asos, Topshop, and Misguided if you want your clothes delivered on time!!

Enjoy.

It's Christmas!

Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, The Nutcracker... and The Theatre!

It doesn't exactly fit the trend, but I love this years Brown Thomas Christmas window. Eight different scenes capturing the "razz-ma-tazz" of theatre life, from backstage dressing rooms to front of house performances. It reminds me of  The Phantom of the Opera. 

Brown Thomas' idea this year, coupled with detailed designs certainly breaks the mold!! Here's a quick glimpse of what one of Grafton Streets famous windows looks like this year;

The Theatre Dressing Room


I love every detail, down to the last shoe. My favourite part is the lightbulb framing around the window, the kind you would typically find on a dressing-room mirror. Very clever! 
Go in yourself and check it out :)
