Let's Play Ball!

There's nothing better than the delight you can get from picking up a truly unique, original and downright AWESOME item of clothing! 

Behold the jacket of jackets...

This baby is by the Ragged Priest vintage concession, which i nabbed in Topshop Oxford Circus just recently.

Take an old school sports jersey, attach vintage scarves to make the sleeves and hey presto - this beauty came to life!

Super comfortable, the right balance of girl meets boy, and down right amazing (in my humble opinion!)

I teamed my jacket with this vintage glitter smock dress from Shutterbug Vintage and my Jeffrey Campbell Coltrane Spike boots (the shoe of shoes - not kidding!) from Folkster for work and thought hmmm...blogworthy :)

The Lust List

I realise that it has been a while since I have done a post of this sort. 

Strange considering that I become inspired and fascinated by things so quickly. 

So here is a short culmination of bits and bobs that I am swooning after and lusting over right now:

I am just entering the final week of my current Design Doma diary this week. The cuteness of these products are so great that I just had to hop online to order me a new one.

These Coltrane cutout boots by Jeffrey Campbell are my absolute MUST for the winter season ahead.

Loving quirky and creative interiors at the moment. I don't know why exactly but I am going with it.

Love Madame Juliette above and her collection of awesome leggings make me want some.

Old habits die hard...floral, in jumpsuit form, swoon.

And this beauty...well I just cannot resist

A Happy Christmas

What a lovely Christmas Day.

I had a really nice day meeting family, eating, opening newfound treasures, eating, flaking on the couch...did I mention eating? 

I didn't go too overboard but I did however decide to make homemade lemon meringue pie for dessert and oh boy was it NOM!

Anyway here are a few photos of my Christmas outfit, floral with a dash of pink (who'd have thunk it?), pictured in my natural habitat - my bedroom.

I got a lovely haul of gifts from family, friends and Mr Claus big, small and lovely sentimental offerings all of which I am truly grateful for.

Low and behold my absolute favourite gift are my Jeffrey Campbells, of which I have pined after for oh so long, and how adorable is the box?

I hope that you all had a fabulous day and lapped up in the luxury of family and good times.

I know I am so thankful for everything I have received over the past year, and to everyone who reads and contributes to this blog, thank you kindly.

It's the small things in life that matter most.

Happy Holidays,

Sinead

A deal with the devil!

I'm baaa--aaack!
My sincerest apologies for the abysmal lack of blogging over the past few weeks. I have been super busy moving into my new house, where internet was lacking until yesterday. So let this be my debut post from my new humble abode, which is super cute may I add.
I have also started an internship with Stellar magazine so I'm rushed off my feet but absolutely loving it!

Let me tell you all about the deal I made with my best friend. Bear in mind that we are both addicted to shopping, no matter how tight the funds are - who needs food when clothes are concerned eh?
So, yesterday, she crossed over my new threshold donning a brand spanking new outfit!
Not acceptable, given that anytime this girl enters a shop she spends and exits with at least one item to add to her wardrobe (Like I can talk...ahem!)
We struck a deal - we will not purchase any clothing from now until Christmas!
Tough? Definitely!
Possible? Here's hoping!

In order to ease the torment and the temptation, I am adding to the lust list.
For now, here are a few pieces that WILL be mine, eventually!
Drool, adore, dream...these tantalizing treats will hopefully keep my shopping itch at ease until Christmas time.

Dare to be Different

Introducing my new obsession: Jeffrey Campbell shoes!!!

My oh my aren't these beauties creative and amazing and utterly brilliant?

Just a few weeks ago, as I embarked on my daily browse on lookbook.nu I realised that this girl Anna Wiklund has probably the most coveted wardrobe of shoes (and gorgeous clothes)...an endless supply of Jeffrey Campbells!

To say I'm just a tad jealous is a dramatic understatement.

But I am indeed in love.

These shoes come in an array of styles, colours, textures, heights each one more eccentric and unique as the next.

Priced reasonable between $145-$175 dollars on average, they surely are investment items that will brighten up any wardrobe.

I'm currently contemplating making the bold move and purchasing even if it means I don't eat for the guts of a month!

My absolute favourites are the leopard print ankle boots with pony hair and fuchsia pink toe caps - magnifique!

I wouldn't say no to the tapestry style either.

From intergalactic space gliders to yeti boots, Mr. Campbell surely mixes up the wacky and the wonderful.
