My Book Recommendations: Fashion & Otherwise

Today, I thought I'd touch upon some of my favorite books, some based on fashion and others just amazingly well-written stories. I'll go into why I love each book and why I think you should give it a try yourself. Also, one of the personal goals I've set for myself this year (and one I set for myself nearly every year, but don't always succeed in), is to read more books. With that in mind, I'd love if you could leave your recommendations down below so I can start compiling a list and then reading!

How to Stress Less

How are you all doing? Leave a comment down below, because I'd love to chat with you and see how things are going with you!

One thing that has really been a big factor in my life lately is stress! While is can sometimes push us to reach our goals, stress can be very consuming, especially to me. I consider myself to be a bit of an anxious worry-wart, but I have been trying out some new mechanisms, to help me enjoy life in the moment and stress just a little less.

Ireland & England Haul 2017

I've finally gotten around to filming my Ireland & England haulł Hooray! I had such an amazing trip visiting family and seeing all of the amazing sites that Ireland and England had to offer, so the amazing shopping was just the icing on top of the cake! I think I found some perfect pieces with the help of my mom, Mrs. Cindy, my Auntie Mandy, and my lovely cousin, Neave! Thanks for the help guys! <3 I'm very excited to share it with you, so I hope you enjoy it!

It's All In the Details

How are you all doing? I have to admit I'm on a little bit of a low after coming back from our amazing trip to Ireland and England, but I'm still trying to make the most of the summer months.

For my first post back at home, I just thought I'd talk about the little details and how they can make an outfit.

Denim on Denim

This summer, I've been channeling my inner Justin Timberlake circa 2001, with denim on denim (cringey!). Surprisingly though, I'm enjoying rocking it and slowly learning how to make it work.

The key to the denim on denim look is to either completely match your denims, like I did here, or contrasting them.

Galway Girl: My Quick Guide to Ireland

How is everyone today? I'm sending my well wishes your way. I hope you're having as lovely weather as I am here in the UK!

Today, I thought I should just catch you up on my recent trip to Ireland, and what I think. Below I've included all the reasons you need to get yourselves to Ireland, whether it's food, photogenic locations, or shopping.

My Holiday Packing Tips

I hope you can forgive me for missing last week's post. I was travelling to visit family, and wanted to focus on them for a couple days.

This week, I am in Dublin, Ireland!! I thought it was appropriate to talk about my tips for holiday packing! As a frequent flyer back and forth from England, visiting family, I've learned quite a bit. Typically, airlines restrict you to a certain weight and number of bags when travelling, but with my tips you'll have room for everything you need, including space for all your purchases. As per request, here's the tricks I've learned over the past seventeen years.

Get to Know Yourself (& Your Style)

Most people have taken or will take the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator at least once in their life. The MBTI is a personality test that determines your psychological preferences, how you view the world, and how you make decisions. Recently, I've been doing research involving my senior project at university, which has lead me to taking it online. I was very impressed and intrigued by the results. Here is one online that I enjoyed taking, because it offers a lot of information about your personality, such as strengths and weaknesses, romantic relationships, and famous people who have the same personality as you. Take the test and comment down below what you got!

After taking this quiz, I wanted to see if there was any way I could relate this to fashion. Below I've listed each personality type and a defining piece that should be in there wardrobe! Comment down below if you agree!

Accessory of the Season: Statement Earrings

I hope you're all having a wonderful summery weekend, and happy memorial day for all of those in the U.S.! Also, I need to give a special shout out to my wonderful, supportive mother, whose birthday is on Tuesday! Happy birthday lovely lady!

Anyway, a new and exciting way to to accessorize is sweeping through the fashion world, and I just had to tell you. The statement earring is the new way to vamp up your spring/summer outfit.
