{Stylin} Disney Chic

Remember this dress? Well wouldn't you know it popped up again up on what is now my new favorite tumblr.


As someone who grew up, and remains obsessed to this day, with Disney animated movies (I may or may not have the soundtrack to Little Mermaid on my Ipod), DisneyBound is the (Aristo)cat's meow. 


A Disney focused fashion blog, I adore her modern reinterpretation of classic characters. The outfits are sleek and stylish with a subtle Disney twist. Whether you're looking for a chic costume or general fashion inspiration, this is the place to go.

{Fashion Fix Thursday} The perfect dress

If I were a dress, I would be this dress. 


Teal, short, form fitting with a low cut back...covered in sequins. 


Lots and lots of sequins.

{Fashion Fix} Ladylike Luxe

With fall already here (in Dublin, it only ever leaves for winter), I find myself drawn more and more to lovely lady like silhouettes and staples.  Add in some tights, oxfords and chunky cardigans for those chilly Irish days and we're good to go!

{Fashion} Fix Thursday

I enjoy perusing fashion blogs from time to time and love seeing the creativity that comes out in one's clothing choices. I don't really follow (or believe in) "fashion trends" per say, instead taking bits from here and pieces from there that inspire new ideas. For me, fashion is about having fun and dressing up to be whoever you feel like being on any particular day. Whether it's a punk rocker, a retro housewife, or Chiquita Banana.  


While I adore blogs like cupcakes and cashmere or man repeller for their pretty eye candy, my thrift shopping unfortunately doesn't afford me the luxury of Miu Miu heels, 3.1 Phillip Lim dresses or Mulberry bags. And to be honest, even if I did have the money for those things, I still wouldn't buy them (ok, maybe I'd make an exception for a pair of Miu Miu heels). For me nuggets, money will always go first and formost to travel. Or pillows. Mostly travel though. 


That said, I'm always looking out for similar silhouettes or styles I like on a more low cost scale. So imagine my pleasant surprise when I stumbled across the oh so stylish and affordable fashion blog of Kendi Everyday. She's adorable, witty and thrifty.  Don't believe me, check out a blurb from her About Me page: 

Two years ago, I followed my husband to his hometown and decided to start a blog instead of having a baby. So far this has faired well. While our surroundings got smaller, my closet got bigger and I wanted to share my wardrobe with more than just the 5 people who saw me everyday (who were never that impressed, anyway).

I think I've found my new girl crush. I hope it doesn't get awkward.  


If you haven't already, go check out her blog. Seriously, what are you waiting for?

I'm not usually a high tops fan (my feet are big enough as it is) but if these were real I would rock these so hard your face would hurt.

It makes me so happy with it's cheerful little red hearts - it's the perfect accessory for those lazy sunny days.  

 I mean seriously, it's just so damn cute  how can you *not* love it? 

Tartan Love

Lately I've noticed my sense of style evolving. Color palettes, patterns and textures that once upon a time I would have never considered, I'm now strangely pulled too. I find myself yearning more and more to switch things up, take risks, redefine myself. The other week ago I stumbled across a beautiful hooded plaid coat so opposite of my usual style and yet so damn perfect. Heaven only knows where I found it though, for the life of me I haven't been able to find it again sense.  I had all but forgotten about it when wouldn't you know that today I stumbled across another gorgeous tartan coat  (which I bookmarked this time thankyouverymuch). While granted it would be most impractical here in Dublin,  I simply adore the shape, the bell sleeves, the buckle detailing and the oversized hood. I mean really what's not to love?  I'm not sure I can justify the price to S. Monster enough to warrant a purchase that I won't get much use out of at the moment however, I can't deny that clearly this infatuation with hooded tartan coats isn't going away anytime soon....
