Banana & Chocolate muffins anyone?

Using this recipe I made muffins yesterday and they're so good that I haven't been able to stop eating them since. I made 18 and I think I'm around halfway through the batch already... eek! I swirled a little homemade caramel into the tops of the muffins before I baked them, it's so yummy! 

In other news my Topshop order arrived today and I'm so not impressed. The lovely jumper I ordered wont go over my head. The neck is so tiny that even with my tiny head there's no chance of gettting it on. I assume it's faulty so it's going back. I'm returning the shorts too, they make my bum look funny. But I ordered some Black Milk Galaxy leggings instead (!!!). I've wanted them for ages and I'm not sure if I'll be able to pull them off but I decided to just go for it. Although if I keep eating these muffins I'll never fit into them! 

I've bought some new lipsticks and cleansing products in the last week too, so expect a review or two in the next few days.

Penneys this Autumn

I find shopping in Penneys (Primark for you UK folk) is a lot like shopping in a charity shop. 99% of the clothes are awful but what's left are total bargains. My biggest gripe with them though is that they change their stock around so often that you don't have time to consider your purchases, if you like something you have to buy it straight away or it will probably be gone when you get back. 

A lot of the clothes in my wardrobe are from Penney's because I really can't afford to spend much on clothes. I'm a student and I only work one or two nights a week. I stumbled upon pictures of their Autumn collection today and I'm fairly impressed! 

I definitely need this jumper in my wardrobe. The jeans look nice too but I find Penneys jeans don't fit me right.

There were a few more bits and pieces I liked too, the black aviator jacket looked nice although I'd have to see it in person to make sure it wasn't too plastic looking.

im not calling you a liar

Grr still no camera access!

Let me see, what news do I have?
I cut my hair. No one noticed.
Oh oh, remember the Topshop Sailor Cardigan I blogged about back in April? Well I finally got my hands on it, for only €18 too :D
I bought a pair of red patent shoes from Penneys. They're amazing.

My interview for the fashion course is coming up next week and I'm trying to figure out what to wear for it.

You can probably expect a post with my outfit choices soon and I'll try to get those Fyrinnae swatches up too.

Window shopping online :D

It's the best because I don't have a credit card so I can't actually spend any money. If I want to buy anything I have to go hound my mum or sister for their cards.

That being said I may need to track them down soon, look at these beauties!

These can be bought here for €9.60.
As you lot have probably gathered, I love tights. I don't think I've ever owned polka dotted tights before, and I can think of so many outfits these would work with.


Can be bought here for €7.20.
These tights are so cute and girly, I'd love to pair them with a biker jacket or something studded to soften the toughness of the leather and studs.


Here for €12.
I usually hate footless tights, but I think I need these in my life.

I wasn't too impressed with the latest Kate Moss collection for Topshop, but there were two items which I really liked.

This Daisy Print Tea Dress, £60, is adorable and would look great with white plimsoles for the summer. I love the collar and the nipped-in waist.



I didn't think much of this Sailor Cardigan when I saw it on the hanger, but once I tried it on I fell in love. It fits like a dream and is just overall perfection in the shape of a cardigan. I love cardigans and this is possibly my favourite since my cream Topshop one I bought two years ago. (Which I just happen to be wearing today, an outfit post will follow)
Oh Topshop, why must you tease me with beautiful cardigans while I'm so unemployed?

Outside of the Kate Moss collection there are lots of other covetable clothes in Topshop right now, I'll run you through my pick of them.

There are Super Long Leggings by Boutique. I'm quite tall (5'9'') and I find it hard to find leggings long enough. I already have Topshop's extra long leggings, but they're just no long enough. These look perfect, look at the rutched effect at the ankles!

I've wanted a Reko dress ever since I first saw them on Lady Luck Rules OK a few years ago. I've never gotten around to buying one, but these two are gorgeous.

Available here for £40.

I actually saw the blue Reko dress in Topshop a few days ago and said to my friend "wow that dress is lovely, but it looks like it's a Reko dress". I checked the tag but it said nothing about Reko. It was only when I was 'shopping' online that I realised I was right!

I'm not usually a jumper fan, I wear the in the morning when I get out of bed, but I tend not to look at them as fashionable items. But for some reason these jumpers from Illustrated People really appeal to me 1 and 2. I particularly like the heart on the second one, zoom in and look at the detail!

This £20 t-shirt is gorgeous! I'm very picky about t-shirts but this one seems to meet all of my requirements.
Love love love this yellow dress!
It's only £28 too, bargain! And it's got pockets!! I love dresses with pockets soooo much. This is the perfect summer dress and if I ever manage to find a job I feel that it shall be my dress of summer '09.

I'm loving this spotty ballerina-esque dress too, perfect for nights out.

You can't see the zips very well in the photos, unfortunately, but I'm intrigued as to how they'd look. The top is a great shape though so hopefully they'll get it in stock in Topshop in Galway so I can take a closer look.

I'm loving how this cardigan drapes. It looks amazing.

These hippy-ish shorts are so summery and pretty, I love them!
1 and 2. I'd wear them with these embroidered flats, these bangles (they had nicer ones a few weeks ago, but they're gone!), a flowy floral top and long curly hair. Bring on the summer!

i think i'm in love!!

all of my tights related dreams have just come true.

squeal!!

new clothes :D

I bought lots of new clothes over the weekend.
Love, love, love sales :D

All the sale stuff in Vero Moda was €3 so I got two cardigans, a top and 3 skirts for €18.
I bought tights, sunglasses and a scarf in Penneys(Primark) for a tenner.
And yesterday I got a pair of silver Doc Martens for €50. That shop is closing down though, which is a pity cause it's where I get my Converse.

I'll post pictures when I get around to it.
