Kate Middleton: Maternity Style....(So Far!!)

Kate Middleton has all eyes on her now more than ever, as she goes through her first pregnancy. She hasn't let us down, though! Every engagement she's had since announcing her pregnancy, she has awed me. Known for her style and class, she has managed to maintain that with stylish, flattering maternity wear. Here's some of these outfits:

My favourite. This simple cape, jeans and boots combo is comfortable and stylish. I'm a big fan of brown myself and I have worn an outfit very similar to this several times. She looks comfortable and chic, what more could you ask for!

This simple wrap dress was also a winner. Grey is one of my favourite colours (a little boring, yes!) so this outfit got a thumbs up from me. Very 'Kate' - she's a big fan of wrap dresses!

A more recent outfit, this turquoise coat dress with black detail looked gorgeous on her and I absolutely loved her hat. Very elegant, yet it was nice to see some colour.

Worn at the unveiling of her portrait, this was one of her first official engagements since announcing her pregnancy. I like  the shape and colour of the dress, however, I think she could have gone a little shorter on the hem. She's young, and I think it was a big ageing on her. But, in fairness, after recovering from a bout in hospital, she looked amazing!

This double-breasted coat dress that she wore to a day at the races really suited her. I was so happy that she went with a shorter hemline - much shorter than she usually does. The colour was a change from her typical browns or nudes. I've seen this hat many a time before, but it looked especially fabulous on her with this dress! And the pockets are just adorable :)

And, finally for today is this more casual look she wore whilst on the slopes a few months ago. Laid back but elegant, you can almost see the hint of a bump. I also really like her hair here!

So that's all for today, folks! Let me know what you think so far and which outfit is your favourite. Be sure to check back in for more updates on K-Middy! :) x

Someone I Look Up To

So today, I thought I'd write a piece about someone who I really look up to at the moment. Her name is Suzanne Jackson. She is owner and editor of fashion and showbiz blog 'SoSueMe.ie'. Her blog is really successful - she reached over 50,000 likes on Facebook just last month. It is one of the best places for fashion new and updates and it's my number one go-to website for all things fashion. She has inspired me to branch my blog out a bit, from just reviewing celebrities outfits. As you may have realized, I have begun to post more of my own outfits, giving you more of a glimpse into my personal style life. Sue's blog is something I can only hope to have in the future. Where she is now is where I would love to be when I am older. I have an increasing amount of awe and respect for her, and I just wanted to show you all someone who definitely deserves attention!! Don't think this is the last you'll hear of her from me! x

Geek!

And here's today's outfit! I went for comfort, and I got it! :) Just a pair of black leggings, with a tube skirt over them (I'm a little self-conscious of my arse in leggings!), and a 'GEEK' jumper. I finished off the look with a grey and white striped snood (borrowed from my sister, Sadie, also the photographer - she made sure I mentioned her!;) ) and a pair of red Converse - yes they're rel this time! I love this outfit, and it was so comfortable. I'll be seeing this again very soon! x

Casual Chic-nessssss

Yes, I know...before you say it, I'm desperate for keeping up with this thing!! I said I'd do awards season, but being in Transition Year has made me very lazy altogether! But here's what I wore yesterday. A simple outfit, yet it has an edge of chic to it. It's freezing here at the moment, so I wasn't going to sacrifice warmth in the name of fashion. So, I decided on wearing this cozy Abercrombie and Fitch jumper for the day. I teamed it with beige skinny jeans, rolled up at the end to show off my nice fluffy socks and new shoes. This outfit did run the risk of being a little...well, drap. But I saved it with my bright blue socks (because, why not?!) and aztec-print fake converse. Let me know what you think!! Hope you like! x

Happy March!!

Right, so I've been MIA for the last while to say the least, but I'm back (and I'll do my best to stay this time!!!)...Anyway, I was scrolling through my newsfeed this evening and stopped short when this picture came up. It is out.of.this.world!! 'The Saturdays' star Una Healy (who's Irish, by the way - kudos!!) stunned in this sequined gown with blue detail at the Oz: The Great and Powerful film premiere. And doesn't she look amazing?! This is one of the nicest things I've seen her in, it's tasteful but still has her typical edgy side with the thigh-high split. Her red hair perfectly balances out the gold and they compliment each other perfectly. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this outfit, I couldn't find a fault if you paid me!!

Check back in for a review of award season dresses - I have a stock up of them!!

And, finally, according to Una, you should go see the movie, as she raved about it on her Facebook page! x

Can you say appropriate?!

I've been meaning to post this top for a loooong time. Finally! I was in Dublin in October and went into Pull&Bear (don't have 'em where I live) and instantly fell in love with this top! Seriously, it's just perfect! I got it for 15EURO, which I think is a fair price, since it's good quality. It's silk in front and cotton in the back. The back is navy, which brings out the detail in the front. Everyone who sees it compliments me on it....it's different, so it draws it's fair amount of attention. It's comfortable and goes with everything, not to mention its basically my life on a t-shirt! x

Look of the Week!

Look of the Week this week is Laura Whitmore. She stunned at the NTA's last week in this gorgeous yellow dress. It's kind of difficult to see here, but there is gorgeous gold detail on it. It's such a simple dress yet it has that WOW factor. I love her gold clutch, too. This one's definitely a winner!! ;) x
