what I wore: navy + denim
navy oversized jumper: primark
high waited jamie jeans: topshop
cut out boots topshop (sold out but similar here and here)
necklaces: urban outfitters

lazy days in ireland call for chunky knits, scenic walks and being force fed by my family (not that I'm complaining) I found this jumper in primark before I left for my trip and snapped it up as it's surprisingly soft and perfect for chilled days! I opted for my winter staple of topshop jeans and cut out boots, not the most imaginative outfit granted but one you'll catch me wearing regularly at a weekend.. plus who doesn't love an oversized knit? do your worst dominos.. do your worst.

back soon

ahoy! nautical nail art:
I love a theme, I decided to go with a nautical one when I was painting my nails yesterday. usually when I think of nautical patterns I think of anchors but I find them really tricky to paint and I didn't have a lot of time to spare.. instead I opted for little sailboats which reminded me of vintage childhood wallpaper and cath kidston!

I thought Id share it with you as I know a lot of you like painting your nails too! first I started with the base colours; I used barry m blue moon and models own red alert.

to paint the sailboats first I drew a triangle with my nail art pen. next I added a line through from top to bottom then I added the boat which is just a simple half circle shape! the stripes were easy to do with my striping brush but you could always use strips of sellotape to mark out the lines if you don't have a pen to hand! 


I hope you like them, I might try the anchors next time!
