Ear Candy - 23.12.10

Taking a little blogging break over Christmas! I'll return next week at some stage with a bumper Frock Candy and a round up of the very stylish 2010.

A very merry Christmas to you and yours x

Penniless with only charms

All I want for Christmas is...

Sneaky feel and a peek through the wrapping paper tells me the dress is in the bag.

Happy out :)

Oh and I am unbelievably grateful for the nomination for Irelands top fashion blogger!

A huge thank you to whoever was behind getting my name into the top 50.

You can vote here for me or any of the other very worthy 49!

The blog is fun for me, a hobby really, so to receive even a nomination surpasses any expectations I ever had when I started.

Thank you to everyone who reads, comments or follows and to all those lovely people who have made me feel so welcome in the blogging world!

Heart you all!

I'm welling up.

Thank you.

Ear Candy - 16.12.10

The sneachta is a-coming!

Gosh your lips look delicious

'Tis freezin hard, ach shure 'tis too cold for snow. Please God let it not be so, this is the closest we've gotten to a white Christmas in many a year.

I've been hinting to the boyfriend every time this ad:

comes on but alas, he delivered his gift this evening and no matter what way I shake it, or how much I squeeze it I cannot convince myself that it is a snow machine. Perhaps his lack of ability to pick up on said hint will go unnoticed and we'll get a white Christmas.

Weather like this calls for hats, scarves and all things snug so if you're looking for a last minute gift here are some essentials to get us through the cold.

And so this is Christmas...

Kinda...not really. One thing I hate about Christmas, and believe me there is only one thing, is the hype. That being said I still trekked down to Grafton Street to watch Westlife and the cutest little girl ever, switch on the lights. Louis Walsh was there, my friend Sinead nearly had a coronary when she saw him, she's strange like that. And to whoever started the vicious rumour that Jedward were there, you broke my heart with bitter disappointment, I hope you're happy.

So anyway it's the time of year when letters to Mr Claus are penned. I'm not asking for much, well, just Edward Cullen and a trip to Colette all expenses paid!

With Christmas comes numerous parties and nights out so, Santa baby if under my tree you could sort out all my outfits, I'd very much appreciate it!

Anyway, it's been a while since I've updated college load is getting me down man. Jimmy Choo and H&M collaboration was unveiled since I've been away! I'm not a Jimmy Choo fan truth be told, I find his work to be more dainty and targeted towards the older market and the heels are just too low, basically I've never been speechless over a Choo. I need to absolutely swoon before I hand over that amount of cash. Give me Louboutins or Chloe any day of the

week. But I am impressed. Having an almost swoon over a few pieces...
