Instaposts - Photos from my Summer!


Hola guys. Just a quick post today cos I am busy packing and what not! But just thought I would put a few photos up from my instagram and show you how my summer is going! It consists mainly of photos of food, but i've really just been relaxing in the garden, reading books, chilling with my friends, eating, chilling with my boyfriend... And i'm going away next week to the Middle East! The weather has actually been really good here in Ireland!! 

I really can't wait to go to the Middle East! I will be flying into Abu Dhabi, then we're staying in Dubai for a while and then staying in Oman for most of the 2 weeks. I hope to do loads of photoshoots and things while I am over there, I am not sure how internet is going to be but hopefully I can get a few posts up while I am over there!! 

Anyhoo hope you enjoyed these little snaps of my summer, and maybe you could check out my instagram (of course my username is xxxlmgigglesxxx!) and press that little follow button, especially if you want to see some holiday snaps of me in the Middle East! Also check out my weheartit, been putting up a couple of my own photos lately so maybe give me a follow on there too. 

Let me know how your summer is going and what you've been up to! 

Thanks my lovelies!

Apocalips Please

Hellllarrrrr!! I am in love. Apocalips please?? (muse reference) But I have to say oh my gosh I love this product so much. This is the Rimmel lip lacquer called 'Apocalips' in shade 400 Big Bang. I wore this on my graduation, there's an outfit post somewhere on the blog! But anyhow, my friend Aisling did my makeup for my graduation and actually gave me this product and now I am in love with it (check out her blog btw,  ilovebarrystea.blogspot.com ). 

Like I have said, I am in love with this. I have really dry, chapped lips all the time so when I wear lipstick it gets really flaky looking and comes off really fast. But because this is a lip lacquer, it is so perfect for my lips! It stayed on all night for my graduation and I didn't need to top it up once. It also looks so pretty and glossy and I can't even describe how much I love this. Just buy this product and you won't regret it. I actually think I am gonna go to boots to get some more in different colours! They just stay on so well and they make your lips look so pouty and pretty. 

Buy it ladies, I swear you won't regret it! :D It comes in so many different colours and at the moment they're on offer in boots and they are about €7.95? I will put the link below. 

Thanks for reading guys, hope you liked this post and I hope I will inspire you to get it! If you do get it, take a pic, put it on instagram and tag me in it so I can see your looks! :) 

Blog again soon!

Festival Fun!


Hey guys! Sorry it's been a while! I am soooooo busy at the minute. I'm going away to the middle East soon and we've been packing like crazy and buying clothes for my little sister cos she is growing so fast. But yeah.. I am so very sorry for the lack of posting!

Anyhoo! I saw Arctic Monkeys Saturday last week and the previous Saturday I was at the Longitude Festival for a day with 2 of my best girlies. For Arctic Monkeys, I posted a photo of my outfit at the bottom and there's one of me and my boyfriend there. I got up soooo late on the morning and had like 10 mins to get ready so I never got to take many photos! But anyways, I have a few photos up there!!

Then Longitude! I have posted my outfit belowwwww :D It was such an amazing day! Hozier, Sam Smith, The 1975, Haim, Disclosure.. they were amongst the many amazing people there! Pretty much everything in my outfit is Penneys/Primark, but the belt is New Look and the bag is vintage.... Twas mother's in the beautiful era of the 90s <3 its actually so weird because when I was at Longitude I got asked loads where I got my bag from! The woman who searched the bags wanted to keep it. It is pretty cool though. So thanks mamma for the bag if you're reading this! Ps. it's not real fur lol. 

So yeah! Sorry it's short I really don't know what to say lol. But there ya go! Hope you enjoyed this little post! 

Thanks guys!

Festival Fashion Combos!


Hello! So yesterday I went to see Arctic Monkeys in Marlay Park in Dublin and they were amaaazinggg!! Special guests were Royal Blood, Miles Kane and Jake Bugg! The whole day was amazing, and surprisingly, I enjoyed the little showers throughout the day because it was just so hot!

But anyways! The day before, I wanted to see what I was going to wear so while I was deciding, I decided to take a few pics and make up some festival fashion combos! I didn't really do accessories because there were so many outfits, but these are the outfits that I liked the most! I have my DIY tops in there somewhere and if there is anything you want to know where I bought it, don't be afraid to ask! Also want to apologise as I am not the most photogenic and my bedroom isn't exactly a great background but I tried my best! 

Next week I am going to Longitude music festival so I will post next week what I wore to that and what I decided to wear to Arctic Monkeys! 

OH forgot to mention I was already tanned but I put a light layer of COCOA BROWN TANNING MOUSSE on!! I love this tan and I think it is so perfect for the summer months!

Hope you're all enjoying the festival season and I hope to be back soon with more posts! 
Thanks!

New York Diaries - Part 1


Hello my lovelies! As some of you may know, back in April of this year I went to NYC for my 18th birthday! I thought I would start a thing every so often called the 'New York Diaries' and just post some pics from my trip. I'll see how this goes and maybe I will post some more. 

I have only just started up my blog and to be honest, I don't really know exactly how I want my blog to be yet. I am just experimenting at the moment and playing around with ideas. At the moment, my DIY and fashion posts seem to be the most popular, so I think I'll do more of those! It's hard when you're starting up a blog to know what your viewers want to see and what to post and what to say! I would love some feedback from whoever is reading this out there! :D Hopefully I will find what I want to stick to soon, or are you all happy with the way it is at the minute?

Anyways, these are just a few photos of one day I spent in New York. It is such a beautiful city and I would return again in a heartbeat! There is so much to do and see. I was wondering around central park and I saw a photoshoot near a fountain. I don't know what it was for but it looked awesome! Could have been for a blog, a magazine, anything, but it was really cool to see! I have some photos of  what I could get here and some other photos of things I did and saw that day in New York.

Hope you guys enjoyed this little post! Have a fashion one to come soon! 

Thanks!
