My blogging career began with one simple undeniable fact: I eat, drink, sleep & breathe fashion! From the moment I wake up to the second I lay my head down on my pillow, my life is lived through the clothes I wear, and love to share it all with you!

In my world everyday is fashion week, and I love to express my personality through the clothes I wear! Whether it's to browse the fabulous stores in Victoria Square, Belfast or walk the elegant surroundings of Custom House Square, you will never catch this little fashionista off duty when it comes to her personal style!

I've always tried to showcase my personal style wherever possible on the blog, but I'm super excited to announce that I'll now be collaborating with Adrian Quinn Photography, so expect many more in depth OOTD posts featuring some striking photography to capture the details of every ensemble!

The first of these posts features what could arguably be called my second home, Victoria Square! Home to many of my favourite stores, from Karen Millen to House of Fraser, LK Bennett to designer paradise Cruise, Victoria Square is the natural habitat for this style conscious fashionista, and was the obvious place to shoot in for our first collaborative shoot!


There was a calm and serene atmosphere at Victoria Square as the sun shone brightly, matching the bright and vibrant splash of colours of my outfit! From my multi coloured Moschino Cheap and Chic "Graffiti" scarf, to my tropical print trousers, I was embracing the summer obsession with colour! Of course as you all know I do love my designer accessories which I fully believe can really make an outfit, and I couldn't resist accenting the pretty pinks and vibrant yellows of my outfit with a few pieces from Balenciaga!

Day one of West Coast Cooler Belfast FASHIONWEEK was jam packed with events, having already attended the "FASHIONWEEK at the Fitz" Cocktail Party and Una Rodden's innovative Fashion Instillation (Read all about it HERE.) I was then hopping off to the Iconic Ulster Museum for the first of the main catwalk shows, this time featuring Designer Boutiques! I was extremely excited to see what FASHIONWEEK had in store for us, the Designer Boutiques show is always a firm favourite of mine, as it features a wide range of boutiques from across Northern Ireland!

Having recently attended CRUISE's own intimate AW'13 catwalk show instore I was curious to see which trends they would be featuring on the FASHIONWEEK catwalk! The brand "Almost Famous" featured strongly on the night, as well one of my favourite denim brands Dr Denim! (I adore my DR Denim snakeskin print jeans!!!)

Trend wise there was lots of colbalt blue and lace in cute and flirty dresses, I especially loved the corset style detailing creating structure against the delicate lace of this dress!

While stunning luxe knitwear was also a favourite as it can be styled with leather trousers, or kept casual with jeans, the metallic lace detailing on this jumper giving it a real edge! But stand out was a red carpet worthy black embellished evening dress with sheer mesh side panels!! Major *swoon!!

Blush is a hidden gem on the Lisburn Road, the go to boutique for truly special bridal gowns, as well as trend led eveningwear! However Blush also stock great day dresses too, which can be worn for a day at the races, or a even a girly lunch! Tartan can be a hard look to wear top to toe, but I loved the black contrasting detail on this sleeved dress! Perfect for an Autumn/Winter event!

Peplum's are still proving popular, as are florals for winter and this little number caught my eye too!

Last but not least, as a girl who loves her sparkle I fell hard for this shimmering sheath of fabulousness! A mixture of exquisite jewels and mesh it's a dress that will certainly make a statement!

Liberty Blue went print crazy with lots of digital prints inspired by nature, as well as poka dots, florals, animal prints, all in cute and girly silhouettes.

For anyone who really wants to stand out from the fashion pack, look no further to Diamond Dolls in Banbridge! Boutique owner Brenda prides herself on stocking distinctive pieces you won't see every day! I loved the monochrome coat/dress with it's exquisite button's and metallic gold edging! While Melaine Bond's handmade neckIace perfectly compliments the look! I would style it a la "The Devil Wears Prada" with thigh high leather boots! Anne Hathaway eat your heart out!

I love my skater dresses and this black version with it's metallic and pearl embellishment on it's bodice worked perfectly, creating a strong, yet ultimately feminine look!
