Photoshoot with Brian McNamara.

A week or 2 ago, (can't really remember, I've been mental busy recently, and my head is about to explode!) I did a quick photoshoot with the lovely and very talented Brian McNamara. It was quite a relaxed shoot, no outfit changes, and we just wandered around Dublin, looking for pretty places to takes pictures.
Here's a few of my favourite pics:

 

 

Scarf: Robbed from my boyfriend :)

Jacket: Vera Moda

Rings: Topshop

Leggings: Made by me

Shoes: Ebay

I was really happy with how the pictures came out. I love how the background is slightly distorted, I think it gives a really cool effect. 

Brian's work can be seen here, check him out! :)

Hope you like the pics, more to come from other shoots! :)

See ya !

Oh a wee joke for you! 

Have you heard of the new corduroy pillows?

They've been making headlines! 

I pissed myself laughing at this joke when I heard it, I am so lame! :)

                                                           

Love and Loathing in Las Vegas....

I thought for my first post  that I should show some of the stuff I'm really liking at the minute, and some of the stuff that damn right upsets me! As I'm only starting out, I'm not really sure what I want to do with this blog, whether it be for fashion or for general musings, (which would probably involve mostly fashion with the odd tea rating, or a movies that made me cry countdown )  Anyways here it goes:

Pedometers!

Yes I know, not fashion , or tea related for that matter, but I do love my pedometer. It's a giant unattractive, brick of thing, that doesn't look good with anything I wear, and gets me quite a few odd looks, but FECK it, I really love it.  I can't afford a gym membership, so on my quest to be healthy I invested in one of these bad boys! A healthy person is supposed to do 10,000 steps a day , which is a lot, but I find when I have my trusty Pedometer, ( who I named Vladimir )  seeing that step counter go up and up, really gives you the push you need to get to 10,000. Vladimir also tells me how many calories I've burned, how many miles I've walked and he even wakes me up in the morning! 

Ciara + Vladimir 

forever.

Toxic Vision Studded Biker Jacket

                               
                                                           Studded Biker Jackets

I'm REALLY loving these at the minute, how kick ass is that jacket? I love the heavy embellishment, and the thick chunky zips. The monochrome is pretty cool too, I usually avoid black and white for fear of looking like a liquorice allsort, but it works here. We have to design a jacket/coat in college, and I think I'm gonna make mine based on biker jackets, with maybe a retro 80's feel. I'm thinking 80's power jacket meets Hells Angels. What dya think?

ASOS Treacle Metallic Shoe Boot

Metallics!

I am really digging metallic colours at the minute, especially gold. I can't get enough of em!

I am lucky enough to own the above pair of shoes, got em on ASOS on sale, and I really am delighted with em. I feel like a little robot when I wear them. I have my eye on a few more pairs of metallic shoes, Jeffrey Campbell has awesome Litas in silver and pewter! WANT..... 

I am currently on the look out for a pair of metallic gold leggings. I got a pair in topshop, but I was disappointed with them, I don't like the material, and they're not as 'foily ' as I would like.  Anybody know where I can get a pair? Any help will be rewarded with me busting out my best robot moves in your living room. :)

Yo Bitch Be Hatin:

Insomnia

Yep fecking insomnia! It's kinda ruining my life right now. I'm finding it increasingly harder to sleep, which isn't fun when you have to be in college for 9 most days, or when you have a photoshoot, and  you're supposed to turn up fresh as daisy, when instead you turn up looking like death.

Oh the joys!

The Flippy Dress

Yes I know, I know, how can I dislike such a wardrobe staple? When the flippy or skater dress or whatever you want to call it comes in such a wide variety of colours and prints to suit everyone's taste, how on earth could I dislike it? 

Well to be honest I think that's it. You can get the flippy dress in every colour imaginable, in every print imaginable, but it's still the same dress. In every magazine there's the new must have flippy dress, this time in duck egg green! Maybe I am being a bit hard on the aul' Flippy dress, I mean it does have it's features, you can dress it up or down depending on mood or venue.  But where's the PAZZAZ people? I just think it's a bit boring, and every night I go out I see the same silhouettes, but with maybe a capped sleeve and extra Flip. 

Yep, so that's some of my loving and a tiny bit of my ranting out now.

I would be UBER interested to know what you are loving or hating ( or both, go mad! ) at the minute.

See ya!
