Hello everyone, I have one last look from Fashion Week for you! I think this may have actually been my favourite. This backless top had been sitting in my wardrobe for about 3 months before finally finding the perfect piece to wear it with – this stunning white skirt from Chelsea and Walker. Nothing better than when an outfit just comes together! It was also my first time wearing my new Chanel purchase at Fashion Week and to be honest, I still can’t believe it’s actually mine. I chatted briefly about the purchase on my Snapchat (retroflame1) and I definitely want to do a more in-depth post down the line about the different Chanel styles and why I chose this one. A lot of you have been asking for more information as there’s so much research to be done before making such a big purchase and so I’ll definitely share any knowledge I have in a seperate post and maybe even a video. It was always a goal of mine to have a Chanel bag of my own before turning 30 and last year when I turned 24, I said to myself – my 25th birthday will be the year! I saved and saved and saved, sold two of my other designer bags and finally met my target a few weeks before my birthday. I’m absolutely head over heels in love with it and as well as being a stunning bag, it’s also going to always be sentimental to me. Proof that whatever you set your mind to doing, you can do it. You just have to work hard. Designer isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and I will always respect that, but for someone who has been dreaming about this for years – I still smile every time I look at it.
Today is actually my last full day at home here in Kerry as I’m in Dublin tomorrow and Friday for my event at Arnotts tomorrow night. Excited to be back in Dublin and to get to meet some of you while I’m there. I’ll be hosting the NYX Launch in the Arnotts Beauty Hall from 6-9pm tomorrow night and anyone can come along (it’s free!). Be sure to send me a snapchat if I’ll be seeing you there :) My Snapchat is retroflame1.
Hope you’re all having a great week!
