Outfit

These pictures were taken about 2 weeks ago but I forgot to put them up. Whoops! Anyways better late than never. The coat is an awesome vintage coat I found in January. Really well made and an eleant 90's feel to it. It was actually new and still had the 90's tags on which is always a bonus. I was initially going to sell it because I didn't really think that a long coat would suit me but then I tried it on and decided to keep it. Oops. The wide pants are also vintage another highwaisted hidden gem. The combination of long trousers and a long coat makes me look about 4ft tall but this was a very comfortable outfit for a quick coffee in town. Xx

På jakt efter en perfekt trenchcoat.


Been looking for the perfect trench coat for a while now. Something light for spring/summer. I wanted something neutral in colour like black, grey or cream. I wanted something long as well and I was working on a pretty tight budget. I went to the shops about two weeks ago and tried a good few on but these were the ones that made the cut. Top left: H&M. This was probably my favourite one. It was only 299kr (€29.99) and it was the perfect length but unfortunately it was sold out in all sizes except a size 44(UK 16). The coat was kind of big on so I had to pull it in at the back to get a decent pic so needless to say, I didn't go home with it. Top Right: Monki. This one was on sale for 300kr but unfortunately it was also a bit too big as it was a M/L. That size would usually be ok but these were cut really big and I wasn't crazy about the colour anyways. Monki do have a version of this in Black called the Lana Blazer that costs about 600kr (€65) and it is gorgeous on but kind of over my budget right now. Bottom left: H&M. Part of the concious collection. A really gorgeous trench with a nice cut. It was about 499kr (€50) if I remember correctly. Bottom right: H&M. This one is actually mine from last year. H&M has basically released the same trench again with just a few tweaks and more colours. I decided that I wanted a bigger fit in the trench so I have mine up for sale on my ebay (titilolah) so I can buy the bigger size. Well that's it for trenchcoats. I tried a few more than these but at the end of the shopping trip I was so sick of trenchcoats and they started to look like lab coats to me. I was pretty narrow on my search because I was on a budget but Topshop, Weekday, Asos , River Island and & Other stories are all pretty good places to look depending on your budget. xx

Australia adventure Part 1

So as promised here are some more pictures from Australia. Had such a great time. Such an experience! We did the whole trip on a serious budget so we stayed in hostels for the whole trip, except for Melbourne because we got to stay in an amazing apartment for free! The whole trip was a mix of coach rides, plane flights and roadtripping. We rented a car twice because it worked out cheaper with the people we were travelling with and that was our main source of transport. There is something so freeing about just driving in the countryside surrounded by nature and there is plenty of it in Australia. There is so much to tell about Australia but I will pick out the important bits. Visited 15 Cities and Towns is Oz and had plenty of stopovers in the smaller ones. Stayed in lots of places including Tasmania, Melbourne, Sydney, Arlie beach, Angus waters, Byron bay, Cairns, Surfers paradise, Port Macquire and Brisbane. Cairns and Melbourne were my two favourite cities. Stayed in many hostels. The good, the bad and the downright ugly. Too many to count as we moved about every 2-4 days. Tried surfing twice(fun), ziplining (boring), snokerlling (fun but you need to be a good swimmer to really enjoy it) Went to a water park called wet and wild just outside surfer's paradise and it was funnnn! Tried kangaroo meat and crocodile meat and I couldn't even manage the teeny tiny piece. Definitely not for me hehe. Infamous hippie central Byron Bay. Kompis Awesome bike in Sydney. Chai drink break at the market in Tasmania Tie dye in Bryon Bay Typical hostel breakfast before we hit the road again. Sunning in Brisbane Byron Bay Amazing aquarium in Sydney

31.1

Trying to do some packing for Australia and I have a very hard time deciding what to bring. Need to travel light because we will be more or less backpacking but I'm like I NEED at least four pairs of shoes. I'm travelling for five weeks afterall haha. Aside from the trials of fitting the very best of your wardrobe into a small backpack, here are some of my favourite swimsuits and bikinis. A perfect mix of vintage and new. I will ofcourse need to cut down on the amount but then again swimsuits don't take up that much space do they hehe. I am really trying to find the right balance because I am so fickle with clothes. My tastes change everyday. Sometimes I like bright colours and other times I get a slightly more minimalist palette (never thought I'd say that) Either my "style" is evolving or just all over the place because I still love me some jazzy prints ahh. Oh did I also mention that I will be home in Ireland for a few days before and a week after Australia so I have to somehow fit winter clothes in there as well. How do you guys deal with packing? Easy breezy or nightmare? x

Copenhagen

Beautiful Copenhagen. Ate the best smörrebröd ever. This one was rye bread, with salad, fried fish, prawns and sauce. Fantastic! Visited H&M's much anticipated &other ones. I loved the huge door! Well there you have it, A summary of my little weekend last week. I live quite close to Copenhagen so I have been there countless of times plus I always take my flights from Copenhagen to get to Ireland. It's cheaper and much easier because I live in Malmö (Southern Sweden) so I just get a 30min train over. It might not show in the pictures but the weather was terrible and -3degrees but it was a great little overnight trip nonetheless. Hope you guys enjoyed the pictures and please feel free to leave a comment with your blog so I can follow :)
