OOTD - College Cozy

Evening all!

So I'm back to reality after a fantastic weekend away in London town with my boyfriend and his family. It was so nice to just get away, and shop. Retail therapy always makes me feel so calm.

Today was my first day back in college, in what feels like forever, and I thought I'd show you what I was wearing. I always love seeing what other bloggers wear to college, so I said why the hell not. Some of this post features a few bits I picked up in my favourite part of London, Camden!

We (myself and my boyfriend), played around with lighting and editing a little for this. Let me know what you think!

(Psssst, I put on the red lip for the photos, I had to make some sort of effort for the photos!)

Lots of Love,

Behind the Scenes - First Photoshoot!

Oh dear, I'm posting this a little later than I had planned. Better late than never I guess!

Today, after much screaming, cancellations and coffees, I finally had my first photo-shoot. For our first photo-shoot, we had to pick a photographer or stylist we were inspired by and base a photo-shoot on said inspiration.

I was inspired by Mario Sorrenti's 2012 Pirelli calendar, where the models are pictured as beautiful yet strong women. I took this concept and put a little Irish twist on it.

According to folklore, Irish mermaids were able to come out of the water if they wore a magic hat. My photo-shoot tells the story of a beautiful mermaid coming out of the water for the first time.

While, the final shots are not ready, I thought it'd be fun to show you some of the pictures my boyfriend snapped of us throughout the day. :)

Lots of Love,

Sinead

Save the date(s)!

Evening all!

Oh, what's this? Sinead posting again in less than a week? It can't be true! It is my lovelies! I'm so excited about a few events that are coming up in the next few weeks and months that I just had to share them with you, so you can join in the fun! :)

Steal My Style 

(Picture sourced here.)

Steal My Style is the collective idea of two very well known fashion bloggers; Erika Fox from Retro Flame and Nessa Cotter from Life's Lust Haves, where you get a chance to buy and sell, both pre-loved and new items.

This event was held down at Cork Fashion Week and I'm SO excited that it's coming to Galway. Galway's newest nightclub, the Stock Exchange, is hosting the event on Wednesday the 27th November, and it will be €3 entry charge.

See you guys there!

Style In The City

(Sourced here.)

Another event that will be hosted by the lovely folks at The Stock Exchange. This time fashion blogger, Rebecca Casserly from Bec Boop Fashionista World, and  Sinead Lally, owner of Cotton Face Vintage are teaming up to bring us a night of fashion, makeovers and prizes!

To make this night even better, all money raised on the night is going to be donated to two charities, Jigsaw and Western Alzheimers. Having fun and good deeding, win!

The event takes place on the 4th of December at 5:30 and admission is €5 or €4 if you're a student.

The 1975

(Sourced here.)

Oh momma, now this is an event that you just can't miss. If you haven't heard of The 1975, you clearly don't own a radio, or realise how much eye-candy (and ear pleasure) you're missing out on! Have a listen here.

Their debut album, 'The 1975', was released in September of this year, and since these guys are really accumulating a really strong fan base. 

I love going to gigs, always have. I especially love them when they're right on my doorstep. The Roisin Dubh (where the majority of my nights out are), is where the gig is taking place, and I really couldn't think of a better place to have it.

The gig takes place on the 20th of February and tickets are only €13, so it'd be a sin not to go for a gawk!

There you have it guys!

Let me know if you're thinking about going to any of these events. I'm so excited!

Lots of Love,

Sinead

Outfit of the Night #2 - Jack

Evening All!

I haven't posted an outfit post in ages so I thought today would be a perfect day to put one up!

I went to my boyfriend's gig in Factory on Friday night and I thought I'd show y'all what I was wearing! This is a different post, as the pictures aren't all posed, and the quality of the photos isn't fantastic either, but you still get a good idea of what I had on me.

To be honest, this is probably one of my favourite outfits to date, because I'm wearing some pieces that I'm truly in love with. My AMAZING denim jacket for example. I found this beauty in the Garment District which is a vintage store in Boston that has stores from the 20's upwards. This jacket is from the 80's and is an actually work of art in my opinion. (I really like this jacket.)

 

My bag is from Forever 21, but I was gifted it so I have no idea how much it was, or if it's still available in store!

Another staple piece in my wardrobe are my leather pants. These pants make me feel instantly sexy, which is probably why I wear them so often. I featured these in another outfit post on the blog, which you can see here.

My sky scraper heels are actually from Penneys. I picked them up for about €16, and honestly if you're looking for a pair of comfortable heels these are them! They give you amazing height but not at the cost of comfort, which is a win in my book. I only got them on Halloween so they should still be in store. :)

Rings - Penneys - Pack of 3 - €5

Earrings - River Island - €6

Eyebrow Pencil - Essence

Lipstick - Kate Moss Rimmel - 107

Eyeshadow - Revlon Colourstay

Sans Reason is going through a bit of a transitional period so bear with me! Posts are going to get a lot more frequent soon and the quality of the photos is also going to be boosted too!

I shall speak to you soon.

Lots of love,

Sinead
