Style Steal- Givenchy vs. Primark


Despite his beautiful creations at the helm at Dior, Raf Simons was no longer the talk of the A/W collections. Yes, there's a new man in town and nobody was more surprised than me to find it was the doe-eyed, bockety-legged Bambi. 




This little guy was the star of Givenchy's collection and their bambi-emblazoned sweatshirts and handbags have become some of the most sought after pieces of the season. This little deer has quite the celebrity following from Amanda Seyfried to Lily Collins and the uber stylish Carine Roitfield who even rocked it at this years Met Gala.








Now this arty little number will set you back €850 on netaporter.com, which is €850 I do not have. However, I picked up this adorable little copy in Penneys/Primark for only €12. Style steal indeed!




Will you be donning any Disney stars this season?

Stay classy,

FOTD inspired by Kylie Jenner



I loved this make-up on Kylie and thought I'd try something similar as a more va-va-voom look for daytime. I used mainly highstreet brands, (including a gem of a Natural Collection eyeshadow I found lurking at the bottom of my make-up bag) to show that a celeb look doesn't have to have the accompanying price tag! 
Although I think I'd have to pay a doctor good money to get those luscious lips of hers.

Foundation- Bourjois Healthy Mix in 052
Contouring- Catrice Camouflage Cream in 020 and Rimmel Sun Shimmer Bronzing Powder in medium

OOTD ft. River Island and Penneys

Mixing textures is one of my favourite parts of Autumn/Winter dressing. I fell in love with this jumper in Penneys mainly because "it's so fluffy I'm gonna die!". I teamed it with this embossed silver scuba skirt from River Island for quite a luxe day look. The only area I managed to restrain myself in was the footwear department with these trendy little loafers.

Looking forward to teaming this skirt with a silky blouse and some barely there's for night time!
