Watch the eagle soar

NThe garden walks 










 Hat // H&M
Tshirt // The Mountain
Fringe jacket // Ebay 
Sunnies // Topshop 
Boots // Korkys

Seems as i am very new to this blogging thingy i think i should try out as many ways of doing a blog and seeing which way works best for me. I'm already on like 400 views on my blog page which i am delighted about. I dunno if its alot considering i only have TWO blog posts if not i don't care as to me this is such an achievement , so to all the people who view my blog, CHEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRSSSSSS. 


Lets get down to the reason why you all are here , THE OUTFIT. 

The hat was a must buy item from h&m a couple of months ago. It sooo large and perfect but the only thing that annoys me is the brim is all ridgy, not flat and sturdy. I have a huge collection of black hats which I'm sure your will all see in the coming posts, but this is one of faves. Next we move on to the jacket. I'm not sure weather my iphone actually picked up the greatness of this absolute bargain i hunted down on Ebay. For people who don't know me , i am a huge eBay hunter and I'm a firm believer in the fact that anything on the high street can be found in vintage shops or on eBay for half the price sometimes. This fringe jacket, which is right on trend, was only like 15e or something on eBay but I'm sure on the high street you'd pay double if not more. I love this jacket and hope as soon as the weather gets better here in Dublin i can wear it again. 

Again the tshirt is from ebay. I frickin adore THE MOUNTAIN tshirts but not so much the  price tag. I was in Las Vegas last year and the tshirts were so cheap over there, its unbelievable. So i was hunting the web for a cool tshirt to wear as a dress ( my usual OOTD ) i came across this little gem been sold by, i think they're called, the vintage scene UK. I couldn't resist at all and was very please with the condition of it when it came. And look at how cool is it on , defo something ya could wear to a festival or gig in the summer. Such a keeper :)

Blogging is actually quiet difficult if I'm been honest, specially taking pics and looking at them afterwards. I got my boyfriend to take these pics , which I'm very greatful for , but i dunno whether its just me but i never feel like the pics look good enough , quality wise. Also blogging can make u very aware of any flaws u may have, cause you are constantly looking at pics of yourself, judging it and seeing if its GOOD enough for your blog. Any other bloggers have this issue or is it just me and my wacky head ? Please let me know your thoughts 

Hope you all enjoyed :) Ps : if its shite give me a chance I'm just a beginner haha

AVENGERS ENSEMBLE

THE ZEBRA FLOWER 









                                      
tropical shirt // beyond retro
zebra leggings // ebay
leather jacket // ninecrows 
boots // korkys 
earrings // handmade by me
gold chain // ninecrows

OK, so lets get down to the outfit details. Lets start with why i choose the ultimate clash of prints, usually I'm a very straight forward rock t-shirt, leather jacket and tights kinda gal but i thought I'd change it up for once. Clash of prints looks amazing on models or the ultra skinny girls walking about. Seems as I'm neither i didn't think this would work, but as the pics above prove it does. Today was date day with my boyfriend and as we were going the cinema to see the avengers and stuff my face i thought i best wear something comfortable YET stylish and i think i hit the nail on the head. The shirt i bought in beyond retro like 2 years ago and is one of my favourite over sized vintage shirts. Beyond retro is like a vintage mecca for me and no matter what i always leave the shop with something. I just absolutely love this colour yellow and its perfect for the style i was wanting to create. The trousers were an impulse buy off ebay. I literally didn't no what i was getting when i ordered these. When they came they were a bit of a disappointment but they did the job anyways. 

Now to my favourite parts of my outfit , the boots, the jacket and the chain. Both the chain and the jacket are from the best vintage shop in Dublin, Ninecrows . Anyone who is into vintage or reworked items needs to get into this place. The leather jacket was a pricey investment but as i stated it was and investment. This jacket goes with anything PERFECTLY. The gold chain was something i seen last week when in the shop at the time i hadn't got the money to purchase so it was just my luck to go back in this week and it was still there. I'm not really into gold that much but i had to have this as i think its a timeless piece and again would go with anything. Now THE BOOTS, black, double souled , leather perfection what more could a girl ask for. I know its coming into summer and everyone is jumping on this seasons must have sandals but not me , i love a good boot during the summer, specially here in sunny (sarcasm) Dublin. To think as well because boots like this are in sale due to being '' last season'' i got them for 20e in Korkys.

Overall i was pretty happy with my outfit and wanted to share it you folks. Just goes to show just cause you think something might not suit you doesn't mean it won't. Finally starting to get back to feeling comfortable in my own body and starting to take risks again and i encourage every single one of you to too. Hope you folks enjoyed  my 2nd ever blog post and if you want me to post about something just let me know :)

PS: the cutest pics i seen in my life , i hope to be one of those stylish Granny's one day
