The Wearing Of The Green

With St Patrick's Day and the very special 1916 centenary celebrations coming up over the next 2 months there is no better time to show your patriotism and pride in your country on these special days then with your style.
I have always being very patriotic since I was very young so myself I will be wearing green on both days along with my shamrock on St Patrick's Day.
So if you're like me I have put together a guide of the perfect little touches for these special days for Ireland whether you want to wear it or carry it.
Check out all these gorgeous shades of green.

Until next time,

Oscar Glam My Best Dressed

Well Oscars 2016 was definitely a year I won't forget Leo finally got his Oscar, Ireland got one with our very own  Benjamin Cleary coming home with the Oscar for Stutterer in the Best Live Action Short category.
It was hard luck for our Saoirse Ronan who missed out on Best Actress to Bree Larson who won for Room and the ladies on the red carpet really brought there A game with the style and glitz stakes.
If you were on Twitter on Sunday night you would saw my tweet along and you probably already got a sneak peak at my favorites on the night.
But I have narrowed it down to my 8 absolute fave on the night and this was so hard.

As always let me know what you think who were your favorites from the night and did they make the cut into my best dressed list you can get in touch in the comments Twitter or Facebook.

Until next time,
