There’s nothing that completes a look more than having a ‘good
hair day’, but unfortunately a lot of the time in order to get the sleek salon
look we have no choice other than to put our hair through a lot of trauma using
heated hair stylers, which can cause dryness and breakage. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A curly blow-dry is my ‘go to’ when I get my hair done, so I
was delighted to try ‘Dreamy Curls’ headband which allows you to get the look
of a curly blow-dry without the heat of a hair curler or styler. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I regularly curl my hair using my instyler, and while at the
beginning it was tricky to get the hang of, I find that the results are brilliant.
Your hair is big, bouncy and the curls hold for a long time. However, it is
very time consuming and in the mornings I generally wouldn’t have the time to
curl my hair. So, I figured that the ‘Dreamy Curls’ headband would be a great
option to achieve my favorite glam hairstyle with minimum effort. <o:p></o:p></div>

Using the headband is fairly straight forward. You simply
pop the headband on top of your head and wrap sections of your hair around it
towards the back of your head until the two sides meet. Dreamy curls also have
a step by step video tutorial on their website which you can watch <a href="https://heatlessdreamycurls.com/" target="_blank">here. </a><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The night before using the headband my hair was blow-dried
as normal but not styled. I popped the headband on, went to sleep and in the
morning applied my makeup and took it off before heading to work. One thing I
will say is that if you move around in your sleep a lot the bad can slip off
slightly, but once you’ve enough hair wrapped around it the bad should stay
secured. <o:p></o:p></div>

The night before The next morning </h3>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Overall I was quite happy with the results. There are three
variations of the headband, and I went for the 4cm ‘Wavy’ band, which means the
curls are slightly bigger and softer. It didn’t have the full impact of a curly
blow-dry or instyler curls however I think my hair may have been too dry, and
better results could be achieved if my hair was slightly damper. I was still really
impressed though as you still get great results with no frizz and a nice bounce to your hair. It
doesn’t take long at all to pop in your hair the night before and take off in
the morning when you’re rushing out the door. The headband also comes with a step by step instructions booklet. <o:p></o:p></div>

With summer fast approaching and the likes of Forbidden fruit, Longitude, Independence festival, Sea sessions and Electric picnic just a few months away it’s time to get inspired. The best thing about festival fashion is that anything goes, although technically that can be said about fashion in general it’s not always possible to pull off some of the more daring looks such as glitter roots or floral crowns while going about your day to day life! Here are some festival staples that will keep you looking bang on trend no matter what festival you choose to attend.<span style="text-align: center;"> </span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.92308em; margin-bottom: 1.25em;">

For this look it’s all about outfit simplicity with statement accessories. Pairing block colors together to create a 'co-ord look' such as a white crop top with white shorts is always a winner. Choosing fabrics like lace or a crochet patterns adds subtle detail to the look. Long flowy skirts can look incredible but are not always practical unless you want it trailing in the mud... or drink that can normally be found at an Irish festival! Once you have your basics it's all about the accessories. Just add silver jewellery, a funky belt, a hat or floral headband, wavy hair, vintage specks and your done!</div>

If you’re looking to make your outfit a bit more edgy there are some simple ways to so, do. Fishnets are huge this year. The 90’s staple has made a crazy comeback and will instantly make your outfit a bit funkier. Chokers, big rings a good hat and some cool boot all make you stand out just that bit more. Throw on some red lipstick and sunnies and the look is complete.</div>

The glitter trend is something that has been around for quite some time however it’s only recently that it's getting to be the norm to put it everywhere. Glitter roots were huge last year and will surely be making a comeback this year, but if glitter roots aren’t for you can add glitter to your cheekbones to create and extra dramatic highlight or put some on your collarbones to add a bit of sparkle!</div>

I hope if you're still reading this that you've been somewhat inspired and are ready take on the festival season in style! Much love </div>

This is a different kind of post to what normally appears here on 'rachalesmode'. It's not a post that I had planned on doing, but it is something that has been on my mind, and sitting here at my laptop I feel that I need to share it.<br />
<br />
In this crazy, busy world where there is so much going on it can be a little overwhelming trying to balance it all. College work, a part time job relationships, friendships and a million and one other responsibilities and pressures can sometimes get in the way of you focusing on you and doing what you love. The past month has been a real eye opener for me, there have been some changes in my life and although at the time I thought that one of those changes was the worst thing in the world, it was actually the best thing that could have happened. I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, if something doesn't work out it's because the universe has bigger plans for you, it's not the end of the world, it's just the end of an idea that you had.<br />
<br />
The thing about self-love is knowing your worth. Something I've noticed is that I spend so much time trying to make everyone else happy that sometimes I forget that my happiness should be the number one priority. The bottom line is, love with all your heart, but love yourself first, because nobody deserves your love more than you do. When you're in your early twenties it's the time to try new things, to take the chance, to go on the adventure and to take the risk. It's the time to say 'I can't believe I did that' rather than 'I wish I had done that'.<br />
<br />
So from me to me and to anyone else who needs to hear this; when life gets crazy take a step back, put it in perspective, see how you can deal with it and just do what makes you happy. The rest will sort itself out. So I'm dedicating this post to self love. It doesn't mean your selfish, it doesn't mean you don't care about other people, it means that you value yourself, and I can't think of anything more important than that. Take the risk, go on the adventure, make the mistake and live in the moment, because at the end of the day that's what life is about, and you only have one chance to live it.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
With love </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not too long ago I invested in Collection 2000's #ConcealAndLightLikeAPro palette which promises to 'conceal highlight and brighten your features'. In all I found that it does just that! I've been on the lookout for a cream contour palette for a while now and although this isn't exactly a contour palette I figured that with four shades of concealer, the darker shades would do the job! With the combination of that and colour correction shades I thought it was an absolute bargain costing just over €10</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-P7gdAhmZTH0/V081bf_GNTI/AAAAAAAAKBA/m2ktTQadQPw/s1600/Fotor_146249006752975.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-P7gdAhmZTH0/V081bf_GNTI/AAAAAAAAKBA/m2ktTQadQPw/s640/Fotor_146249006752975.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The yellow and highlighter shades aim to brighten dark circles under the eyes. The green colour neutralises redness while the purple counteracts yellow tones and dullness. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall I was really impressed with the palette. As concealers they definitely do their job. Each colour has a specific function and it definitely works! The whole 'clown contouring' became popular recently and although it seems silly I can see why it was as your face is left flawless with even tones, creating the perfect base for your foundation. Although there are four different concealer shades I found that the texture wasn't quite creamy enough to achieve a striking yet nicely blended contour. For a more subtle look it works perfectly however in order to achieve the full Kim K look I think I might have to invest in something else a little creamer and more pigmented. </div>

One of my favourite things about this time of the year is getting to see the fabulous creations that make their way down the red carpet at the annual 'Met Gala'. Each year it takes place at the Matropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.</div>
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: left;">
As a fashion lover and art enthusiast I always feel so refreshed and inspired by the amazing designs that appear year in year out. Every year has a specific theme and this year it was themed <span style="text-align: center;">Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology.</span></div>
<br />
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hNfSUgCMXNI/Vyk_gqe5_kI/AAAAAAAAKAg/w25kouSYSwQ/s1600/FB_IMG_1462306972293.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hNfSUgCMXNI/Vyk_gqe5_kI/AAAAAAAAKAg/w25kouSYSwQ/s640/FB_IMG_1462306972293.jpg" /></a><br />

One lady, who literally outshone everyone else was Claire Danes. Her magical gown created by Zac Posen embodies everything that is the art of fashion aided with the brilliance of technology. Her 21st century Cinderella ensemble was just incredible! My inner nine year old was so happy so see a real life Cinderella dress, something that was such a huge part of childhood memories finally come to life.</div>
<br />
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3YA8gB6JuAo/Vyk_fTS2haI/AAAAAAAAKAc/13vB1NNrNKY/s1600/FB_IMG_1462306958246.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3YA8gB6JuAo/Vyk_fTS2haI/AAAAAAAAKAc/13vB1NNrNKY/s640/FB_IMG_1462306958246.jpg" /></a><br />
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
While Danes opted for a fairytale look with a 21st century twist others opted for a more futuristic look with bold metallics, dramatic make-up and shiny sequence. A few years ago I took part in a fashion design competition called 'Junkature'. The outfit our team created reminded me a lot of the crazy, futuristic and innovative outfits that could be seen on Monday nights red carpet. You can have a look at our design here. http://rachaelsmode.blogspot.ie/2014/03/junk-kouture.html</div>
<br />
Zoe Saldana's Dolce and Gabanna peacock-inspired gown was very like something you'd see at a Junkature fashion show, much like the winning design in 2015.<br />
<div>

<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-n-IE-UWu2dI/Vyk_i5L51wI/AAAAAAAAKAk/P4v6ecYUrrA/s1600/met-gala-2016-zoe-saldana.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-n-IE-UWu2dI/Vyk_i5L51wI/AAAAAAAAKAk/P4v6ecYUrrA/s640/met-gala-2016-zoe-saldana.jpg" /></a><br />
<br /></div>

The futuristic interpretation was also very artsy and cool. It gave guests such an opportunity to be creative and go wild with their outfits. Three of my favourites were Kendal Jenner's wiry gown, Taylor swifts fierce chrome ensemble and Beyonce's skin tight latex dress. All three are amazing in their own way. The detail of Jenner's Versace dress is just incredible. It almost looks as though wires were woven and sewed together to create wearable fashion. Swift's outfit was the most futuristic. Wearing Louis Vuitton she took on a robot-gladiator type character with silver metallic's and gladiator type strap sandals. Beyonce's peach-coloured Givenchy gown was again something unique, eye catching and equally crazy which is what makes it so brilliant. The latex type material clung to her perfectly, showing off her amazing figure. The embellishment all over the dress was just subtle enough to bring it all together.</div>

Although this years Gala was more high fashion than red carpet glamour it was one of my all time favourites. In a world and society with such strict rules to adhere to it is refreshing to see difference and creativity expressed through fashion. </div>

Back in February I travelled to both Brussels and Amsterdam alongside my friend Maeve to visit our friend Emma who is currently living in Brussels on placement. After flying to Brussels and meeting Emma we spent the evening in the city, the next day we took a bus to Amsterdam and had two days to explore. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Being typical tourists we took the 'Dungeon's Tour', a bout trip and visited the 'Ice bar', all of which were extremely cool and well worth a visit. After spending the night in Amsterdam and wondering around for two days, we got a bus back to Brussels where we got a real feel for the beautiful City. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In Brussels the nigh life is fantastic, the waffles are amazing and the shops are cool and quirky. We stumbled across a vintage record shop where I was able to get a really unique gift to bring back. Architecturally Brussels is fantastic. 'Le Grande Place' is just amazing. We went at night-time and got to see it lit up and sparkling. </div>

Last October I was lucky enough to attend the Blog Awards Ireland in the Tivoli Theatre<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"> </span>thanks to Darragh Doyle who kindly put me on the guest list. Although this post is very much overdue I decided that I couldn't not share what an fantastic experience attending the awards was! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The entire evening was just fantastic! Myself and my friend Sarah headed to the 1920's themed event where we were greeted with a glass of champaign (oh so fancy). Although I wasn't nominated for any award myself a fellow blogger and very good friend of mine was. We were delighted to be there to support her. Rachel over at ohheythererachel was nominated for both 'Best Youth Blog' and 'Best Fashion Blog' bringing home the Bronze award for Best Fashion Blog. We were honestly like proud Mammies when her blog popped up on the big screen! It was definitely the highlight of the night.</div>

Overall it was such an enjoyable night! The food the atmosphere and the entertainment were all on point and it was also such a great opportunity to meet and network with other bloggers. Rach winning the Bronze award also made the night!The Blogging community really is huge and when a group of like minded people come together the result has got to be good! Plans are already in store for next year and I'd really love to go again so we shall see! Once again apologies for my absence, I think I might have underestimated how demanding college life would be. The past few months I've been preparing for my driving test, grade 8 piano and assignments again! (no the LC is not the end) so things have been busier than I anticipated, but summer is just around the corner and I cannot wait.<br />

A/W style is definitely my all time favourite when it comes to fashion. I just feel there's so much more you can do with an outfit when you can add different layers and textures. Whenever I'm looking for a little style inspiration I have a look through pinterest and so I thought I'd put together some of my favourite looks for A/W </div>

Chunky knits will never go out of fashion and are a staple you need in your A/W wardrobe. Not only will you be toasty you will look super stylish. Black and grays probably make up 90% of my wardrobe and luckily are perfect for this look.</div>

Denim and suede are making a comeback and are huge this A/W. There's a whole 70's vibe floating around the place at the moment that I just love, from button down skirts to high rise polo necks its all in this season.<br />

Wearing ripped jeans and a trusty leather jacket is a personal favourite of mine. It's such a versatile look that it can be thrown on for college days or for shopping trips. Duster coats and of course scarfs are another great way to glam up an outfit, paired with a leather bag you are good to go. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you guys were as inspired as I was by these fierce looks for A/W, its made me so excited! Enjoy,</div>

<img src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/04/1c/04/041c046be9921e55358799f7e8c2c673.jpg" /></div>

Once again Autumn is here and Summer is over. I've so many mixed feeling in regards to this because yay to woolly jumpers, big scarf's, hot chocolate and cosy movie nights but nay to all the fun of Summer, nothing lasts forever though! I decided I had to accept the change and pack away my Summer wardrobe and while I was at it do a proper clear out! I am a total hoarder so this was very difficult. I seem to fully believe that the "I heart Paris" jumper I bought in 2nd year will come in handy one day (no I did not get rid of it!) or that a certain pair of shoes will come back in style... plus everything just seems to have sentimental value! Its just heartbreaking really. Saying that I did try to be ruthless which was painful! For days I found myself like Cher here with a mountain of clothes staring at me. So here are my top tips quite possibly from one clothes hoarder to another. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> Rachael's Golden Rules </b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>1 The one year rule </b>Have you worn this item in the past year? If the answer is no its straight to the maybe pile. I know this is the hard part! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>2 The maybe pile </b> So now you think you might be ready to part with something, but your not sure if your really truly ready for such a commitment, You've just met? You haven't seen each other in so long? Or you barely even know this lonely jumper that's been hiding in your wardrobe all winter long! Maybe it's not time to say goodbye? Or maybe it is. Relax you're not married to it! Put it in the maybe pile and in time it'll make sense. You can always change you mind and put it back to its cosy spot in the wardrobe if it's what your heart desires. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>3 Depop is life </b>Now that the anxiety of loosing all you beloveds has gone, you can finally make the step and put them on depop! Its the perfect way to create space, make some dollahs and give your pre loved items a new home! And if it doesn't sell? Well I guess you'll just have to keep it! What a shame... </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>4 Space and Dollahs </b>As sad as you are to see your old friends go, think of the moolah you've now got to buy new clothes, and now space too! Wahey you're already over this break up because there is a new par of jeans calling your name! Your hoardish personality may very well just get addicted to this new regime and if so hoarding could just a a thing of the past! For me... we're getting there! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you lovely ladies have found this helpful, I'd love to know you you've got on! Lemme know happy de- cluttering and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good luck!<br />

To any and all of my lovely followers out there who are seeing this and are wondering where I've been the last few months get ready for an explanation! Things have been sooo crazy this year! I think I may have slightly underestimated how demanding the Lc would be on my time and so unfortunately most of it was spent meeting deadlines and basically studying my ass off to get into collage which thank god I did! (YAY) So the hard work was totally worth it! The last few weeks have been insane! I got my Leaving Cert results and an A in art which I still cant believe and my collage CAO offer of Journalism in DCU which has always been the dream! I cant even describe the relief of it all. I also got my first proper job in Abercrombie & Fitch and I had my Debs! I've been kind of living in a bubble because it didn't seem real to me after this busy Summer and year in general but now things are finally calming down and we're back to business I promise! I'm so looking forward to all that awaits. I have some really exciting stuff coming up and I just cant wait to get started on it all so watch the space!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Loving you and thanking you as always<br />

Hey guys! I'm in a seriously weird mood today because I've just recently finished my mock exams and I'm so incredibly happy and relieved to have my life back for a little while, literally all I've done for the past two weeks is sleep and study and after having a great weekend I'm dead sick! so apologies for the late blog post but regardless what better way to celebrate my temporary freedom than shopping! I've put together a little wishlist of a few pieces I have my eye on from RI. Ripped jeans are a must this season and the RI <a href="http://eu.riverisland.com/women/jeans/skinny-jeans/Black-ripped-knee-Lana-superskinny-jeans-661713">Lana Jeans</a> seem to have it all, they're high-waisted so you can wear them with crop tops which is always a plus! I'm actually thinking of doing a ripped jeans DIY on a pair I have so stay tuned! I'm absolutely loving this <a href="http://eu.riverisland.com/women/t-shirts--vests--sweats/plain-t-shirts--vests/Grey-marl-ribbed-high-neck-top-660609">Grey marl ribbed high neck top</a> and <a href="http://eu.riverisland.com/women/knitwear/knitted-tops/Lime-ripple-mesh-knitted-crop-top-664496" target="_blank">Lime knitted crop top</a> both are perfect for pairing with black jeans and can be dressed up or dressed down! I'm also on the hunt for a new pair of heeled/platform boots I have a pair from Public Desire that I'm completely in love with but they're burgundy so they kind of clash with some outfits! A black pair are needed and these <a href="http://eu.riverisland.com/women/shoes--boots/ankle-boots/Black-suede-snake-print-ankle-boots-660231" target="_blank">Black suede snake print ankle boots</a> are fab. I'm also loving baggy shirts for over jeans and this <a href="http://eu.riverisland.com/women/tops/blouses--shirts/Blue-stripe-poplin-shirt-661447" target="_blank">Blue stripe poplin shirt</a> is perfect, gold jewellery can tie it all together and dress up any outfit and RI have some really nice pieces this season.<br />

Ombré lips are a great way to add a bit of drama to your make-up look. The basic idea is that your contouring your lips like you would contour your face, which makes your lips look fuller and more 3D. Above is a step by step guide of how I achieved this look! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First star off by moisturising your lips with a good lip balm so that the products you put on your lips after don't crack. Then line your lips with a nude liner all over, I used Mac 'boldly bare'. Next with a darker liner outline the outline of your lips and the inner corners (this will prevent smudging later) blend it out by rubbing your lips together. If you prefer a more matte finish or your going for more of an everyday look you can stop at this step, if you want more drama keep going! With a lip brush apply a darker lip colour that's a lipstick/paint and blend well. Next apply a lighter gloss in the centre and finish with a dust of glitter/sparkle dust to highlight! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I used: Mac 'boldly bare' lip liner Catrice 'very berry' lip liner Inglot 'lip paint' No.69 Inglot light pigment(I got a sample so not sure what number!) & lastly just a nude lipgloss no specific brand</div>

Although this post got seriously delayed its finally 2015! The past year has definitely been an exciting year for me in many ways and a lot of the highlights have been shared with you guys right here. I've been in a musical where I was lucky enough to get a main role, been to too many parties, Grad night, Longitude, The Gaeltacht, French college and the Debs to name a few! Through all these good times I met some great people and genuine friends as well. I also went to see Ed Sheeran who was just unbelievable! Hopefully most of these great experiences will be relived in 2015 with many more exciting things thrown into the mix. Most importantly 2014 is the year I started Blogging. I can hardly believe that my blog is a year old! So happy birthday rachaelsmode. I started this blog a little over a year ago feeling inspired by the new year to take the plunge and start a blog as I had wanted to do for a long time before that. In my very first blog post I spoke about how things don't change unless you make them, and I guess that goes for all aspects of life, but I can honestly say that making such a decision and taking the plunge was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Blogging has definitely been a positive change in my life and hopefully it will continue to be even more so in the future, its become a hobby and a passion. Regrettably over the past two months I've been drowning in school work, tests and CAO applications so blogging has taken a back seat. Its so hard to keep on top of everything this year, but one of my new years resolutions is to get back into the swing of things! I think its important to balance things in life and lately I haven't been doing a very good job of balancing things, but like I said a year ago things don't change unless you make them.For the next 6 months my Leaving Cert is definitely number one on my list of priorities but that doesn't mean there so room for anything else, balance definitely is key. To anyone and everyone who takes the time to read my blog thank you so much for sticking with my over the past year! Even if there's one person out there in the world who reads what I have to say and smiles then that's a success to me.<br />

The Debs season is slowly coming to an end and we're already making plans for Debs 2015 (Basically Irish Prom/Formal) Although it seems a bit crazy to be thinking about what we'll wear already, its something we all do and something that requires a lot of planning so why not start early? The Debs can also be super pricey weather its your own Debs, your going with a friend or boyfriend, so here are my top tips for some ways to get around the crazy price tag and get something that looks amazing for less.<br />
<br />
<b>Shop sales and discount stores</b><br />
At this time of the year you're sure to grab an amazing bargain! You do run the risk of getting sick of it but if you love it, you love it and probable wont! Have a look at the sales rack of Coast and House of Fraser. Other than that TK Max are known for doing some amazing designer dresses with up to 70% off all year round! You can be lucky here as often there is nothing other times you're spoiled for choice but it's definitely worth the visit. Often they stock dresses in very large sizes but its possible to buy it and bring it to a dressmaker to size<br />
it down if its a good enough bargain!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-F1ivuPvW3rU/VELLzO9spxI/AAAAAAAAJlc/kGTZyc5SHVQ/s1600/carries%2Bclloset.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-F1ivuPvW3rU/VELLzO9spxI/AAAAAAAAJlc/kGTZyc5SHVQ/s1600/carries%2Bclloset.jpg" height="350" width="640" /></a></div>
<b>Rent a Dress</b><br />
Renting a dress means that you show up with a dress that would have cost an awful lot to buy paying about half the price which sounds like a great concept, the only downfall is you don't have a lot for it afterwards.To rent a dress would cost roughly around €150 so its really personal choice. Its possible that you could buy the exact same one for roughly around same price second hand and keep it which to me makes a lot of sense, remember lots of girls have worn this before you! It all depends really on availability, if you see what you want, go for it. Unless you're lucky you might not find what your looking for second hand so renting is a great option, you get an amazing dress and the odds that you'll wear the dress again are slim anyway so why not rent it if its just for one night? In a lot of ways its a great option as you satisfy your expensive taste on a low budget! Great rental places are 'Carries Closet', 'Frock n' Fabulous' and 'The Ivory Closet'. Above are my top pics from carries closet.<br />
<br />
<b>Second Hand</b><br />
I honestly cant stress enough what a great idea this is! If the whole thrifted idea isn't your thing I can understand why you might be a bit comprehensive about this but realistically girls often spend over €300 for a dress that's worn for a few hours and is then destined to sit in their wardrobe never to see the light of say again. Why not buy it off them for half the price? It makes perfect sense as long as its in good condition. Done Deal is great as you can contact the seller directly by phone. There are also plenty of Facebook pages with people advertising selling all sorts of things! Try "Debs Dresses for sale" of Facebook and see what comes up.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Buy plain and do up</b><br />
Missguided have been doing fabulous long dressed this season that are great dupes for the off the wall designer labels and prices! Some are very like the likes of Carries closet (the blue especially) Get a classic black and pair it with statement jewellery, or something plain and embellish it yourself! Often dressmakers offer this service for under €20! These are a few of my favourites from missguided at the moment.<br />
<br />
<b>Borrow from a friend/cousin/relative </b><br />
This would definitely be the cheapest option. Although you will have to pay for dry cleaning afterwards that will virtually be the only expense. If its not your debs than this is a good option, if its yours you will probable want you'r own and who can blame you but this works if you've been to a few and dress shopping has become almost a chore!<br />
<br />
So now you know how to look like Cinderella without a fairy godmother or breaking the bank! If anyone's still looking for a last minute dress for this year I hope this helps! For everyone else enjoy debs dress shopping and the whole experience even if it is a while off) All these suggestions also apply for college balls or black tie events of any sort. My poor baby blog has been seriously neglected lately and for that I'm so sorry but settling into 6th year has been crazy! With a mad amount of parties, settling into study and of course going to a Debs this year myself I've fallen behind on things but things should be back to order soon! Here's a group photo of myself and all the gal's off to this years Debs!<br />

<br />
Its genuinely hard to believe that Summer is over already! It was definitely the fastest Summer ever but also one of if not the best! I threw together a few new bits and bobs that I discovered this Summer that I absolutely loved!<br />
<br />
1)NAKED 2 pallet: I had been wanting to get this as soon as I hear it came out but never got around to getting it seen as I love my NAKED 1 but its safe to say I equally love this one! The main difference is that naked two has some lighter shades so its less smoky and really I find its better for everyday wear.<br />
<br />
2)The Faults In Our stars: this year I really got out of the habit of reading but at the start of the summer I purchased a kindall which was the best idea ever! I just found it an effort to go to eassons every time you want to pick up a book, and it was also a light weight to bring on hols! TFIOS was on of the Summer's huge blockbusters in Cinemas which I still havent gone to see but the book was just amazing! It really gives you a greater appreciation for life, love and most things that we take for granted. Definitely a must read!<br />
<br />
3)Nescafé Azera Americano Coffee: I'me an avid coffee drinker and have had many different types in my day but without a doubt the nicest at home coffee in a jar I've had yet is Azera. It just tastes like happiness!<br />
<br />
4)Stellar: At the start of the summer while sitting for hours in the hairdressers with what resembled heavy tinfoil on my head I picked up Stellar Magazine and was immediately hooked! Since I grew out of Kiss which was my ultimate favourite and is sadly closing down, I didn't have one I would religiously buy every month but it looks like things have changed!<br />
<br />
5)Scented Candles: This is kind of self explanatory. I feel very old that all of a sudden that I'm writing about my new found love for scented candles but recently I discovered that I love them, new guilty pleasure I guess!<br />
<br />
5)Last but not least my new found appreciation and love for Bombay Bicycle Club, just before longitude I realised how great they were and now its my "good mood" music! Luna is my favourite song of theirs, it just reminds me of Longitude and what a great day we had! Definitely check them out.<br />

Finally I'm home! After spending another 3 weeks on a language course this time in beautiful but pretty isolated Connemara, I'm sitting at my laptop writing a post about longitude which was about a month ago! This summer has literally been a blur, it seems like all I've been doing is packing and unpacking suitcases! Never the less I'm not complaining because it was all amazing. The Gaeltacht was as much fun as always and now after all my travels I've got to cram as many nights out as possible before 6th year and all that jazz. I went to Ikea with my mam the other day and bought a huge new study desk, its a nice desc don't get me wrong but the whole idea slightly depressing... Anyway I'm gone very off topic so back to Longitude!<br />

We decided to go on Friday mostly because of Ben Howard and Bastille but also because Saturday was the day before the Gaeltacht and if I could sum up the whole experience in one word it would be 'incredible' because that's just what it was! Normally days like this never meet your expectation but everything about it was brilliant! The atmosphere was so chilled, the weather was perfect and all the acts were unreal. Before the festival I started listening to Bombay Bicycle Club and and I'm so glad I did because they have been added to my list of favourite bands!<br />

<div>
The night before there was like a monsoon of rain so expecting a mudslide I went out and got <b>Hunter wellies </b>(and welly warmers!) which of course with my luck meant it would not rain, not that I really wanted rain but I was all geared out so I was almost disappointed!(almost) Never the less at a festival I highly recommend bringing raid gear because you just never know with Irish weather! I also wore my <b>Topshop Shorts</b> and Top from<b> Bershka </b>throw in a hoodie some midi rings a choker that can also be purchased in topshop (I got mine for 50c in tteh Bananna tree years ago!) and your good to go!<br />

Overall it was a great day and night! So much fun! I was only sorry we couldn't have stayed for the whole weekend, I'm already looking forward to next year when hopefully we will! For anyone heading to electric picnic next week have a bast! </div>

It's a design that I absolutely love doing because it's pretty easy to do but look edgy and different! I'm just back from my French elc course after nearly 3 weeks and I have to say it was unbelievable but I'm glad to be home! Met such great people and learned loads so it was well worth it!</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">I'm absolutely obsessed with Inglot nail varnish its just brilliant! A little on the pricey side but totally worth it. Start by doing two coats of the lighter colour of your choice,, I used a peach colour from essence. Then go over with the other colour wherever you want the Aztec design. I highly recommend Inglots black nail art varnish as its a long skinny brush that's very easy to use. Using that or a nail art brush draw lines as shown starting from the centre outwards, then remove any smudges with nail varnish remover. Finish with a clear topcoat and your done! Enjoy and leave me a comment if you've any questions.</span></div>

Last week myself and my family had an amazing holiday in Praia de Rocha, Portugal and I thought I'd do a quick post on it! We go France every single year so it was nice to have a bit of a change. As you can see I had fabulous cocktails and the weather was incredible which sadly resulted in me turning into a lobster *sigh but overall its was a great relaxing week! I've only been back for a few days but I'm off again on Monday for a two and a half week stay in French college that will hopefully improve my terrible French in time for the Leaving Cert that's coming my way in September! Not something I want to think about right now, summer is still well and truly here. </div>

Outside the metropolitan museum of art fabulous ball gowns could be seen as well as tailored pieces that looked just as dressy. Kendal Jenner wore Topshop and looked amazing! Her gown was like something from a fairytale but she somehow pulled it off without looking like a meringue! Blake Lively wore a Gucci gown that looked equally stunning and fit her in all the right places. Both dresses are along the nude champaign colour scheme which I love, it always looks so classic and cheque. Rihanna and Cara Delevene both were sporting Stella Mcartney pieces and I think I have just found my favourite designer because wow, how amazing do they look!? Cara in fitted cigarette pants and a black crop could stand beside Blake and still not look under dressed. Rihannas co-ord was just perfect. It was cool and edgy but still glamorous and sophisticated. Unfortunately this post along with many others got delayed for a whole lot of reasons thrown together, mostly being we switched internet providers which completely messed up our connection! Its finally back on track now!

As you probably already know one of the most sought after collections by the iconic Kate Moss hit shops nationwide last Wednesday. Its been seven years since her last collection with Topshop and Kate says this collection is "a bit more sophisticated" Personally I am so excited! Kate is definitely one of my favourite style icons and Topshop as you know is one of my favourite high street brands so this combination is just amazing. I cant wait to pop in store and have a proper look! For now Here's a behind the scenes sneak peek!<br />

Although this has been done a million times over I thought I'd do a quick review on the Samantha Chapman Real Techniques core collection, short and simple!I recently bought the set after hearing amazing things about the brushes and I have to say they almost tick all the boxes! Pros: super soft, great quality, contour brush is amazing and so is the buffer brush! Only con is that the foundation brush is a bit small, I'm pretty much still using my old one because it would take all day using the RT brush, however its great for fixing bits and touching up after doing eye make-up. The smallest brush can be used for concealer or as a lip brush which is really handy! Overall great buy, I look forward to building a collection of these beauties! </div>

I'm sure you've heard that over the past few days one of the biggest and best music and arts festivals in the world has been going on is California. For celebrities this is like a red carpet opportunity, where you can actually show off of personal taste and style. For me its clear that Vanessa Hudgens is the absolute Queen of Coachella! Her Boho style ticks all the boxes of festival must haves, and her accessories give her that extra edge. Floral headbands, flowy kimonos vintage specks and layered necklaces complete her look. Every day she just looks effortlessly amazing! Total win.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As always Kendall and Kylie have made an apprentice looking like they've just stepped out of a photo shoot. Love them or loath them when is comes to style, no one can deny the the Jenner sisters have got it. Again the festival staples of floral headbands and long kimonos and layered necklaced can be seen, pared with boots cons or sandals. Kylie is sporting a cool studded bumbag which is like a carbon copy of one I saw recently in RI, as well as coloured Ray-band's which add a touch of colour to the outfit. Altogether the girls look flawless.</div>

<span id="goog_775363531"></span><span id="goog_775363532"></span></div>
Although its hard to believe, almost a year ago myself and my friend Rachel (yes I know) took part in an amazing competition called "Junk Kouture" Its a National Competition that encourages young designers to create high fashion outfits from recycled materials otherwise thrown in the bin!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8jptkpDLjK4/UzYeV_tG48I/AAAAAAAAIso/q3ZvYdttd_g/s1600/jk2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8jptkpDLjK4/UzYeV_tG48I/AAAAAAAAIso/q3ZvYdttd_g/s1600/jk2.jpg" height="537" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Our theme was the development of music and sound used throughout history such as Cd's records and tape. Drawing inspiration from fashion icons Lady gaga and Madonna we set out to make our design. We first made it through to the Eastern regional final in the Helix, where there were 80 designs short-listed. Waiting for the verdict at the side of the stage was probably the most nerve racking experience every but finally our design 'Wired for Sound' was called out and I joined the other 20 finalists on the stage!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The judges included Tracy Fahey, Yvonne Homes, International model Faye Dinsmore and of course someone I completely look up to and aspire to be like Darren Kennedy Stylist, Tv presenter and founder and editor or www.helpmystyle.ie. This year Rosanna Davison has even been added to the panel!<br />
<br />
The grand final was in the Board Gais Energy Theatre on the 19th of April and that was just a crazy, exciting, stressful, terrifyingly amazing day! We didn't win but it really didn't matter, we were so happy to have gotten through to the final and have been part of it all. Junk Kouture is a unique competition, its gives young people a platform to showcase their talent, be it designing, modelling, make-up artistry, hairdressing music editing or even dancing as all were taken into consideration for points. The fact that so many things that I'm passionate about were incorporated into one competition is what I loved about it.<br />

<br />
This year a group of girls from my school got through to the Eastern regional final with their design 'Queen of Hearts' which was a really cool design inspired my boardgames! This Grand Final is on again this year in the Bord Gais Energy Theatre the 2nd of May but tickets for the event go on sale tomorrow! You can buy them online for €20 from Ticketmaster. I would highly recommend going to the show. Although last year I didn't get to see it myself seen as I was in it, I was told it was an unforgeable experience! Definitely the craziest most creative fashion show you will ever go to.<br />

Above is a video I made as part of a Ty project that basically shows the whole process from thinking up the idea, to how we made it to reaching the Grand Final<br />

So almost two weeks ago I turned 18 and its actually crazy how time flies! It really feel like I blinked and its gone. I'm a Paddys day baby so with my birthday being on the 17th of March I decided to have the party the night before! It was such a great night even if it did get a little bit crazy in the end but I guess that happens when you have roughly 130 people at an event! It was neon themed so I had lots of glow sticks and some neon paint, my outfit even ended up going along with the theme too! I also had a DIY photobooth with was fun! Although this post is a tad late I though I'd do it all the same to show you guys! Unfortunately I've been so busy over the past few weeks that blogging has taken a back seat but I promise to get up to scratch and I'll be doing a double post this week to make up for it! Below is what I wore the night of my party and a few of the presents I got!<br />
<br />

You'd swear judging by what I wore that one day I went into Riverisland for a one stop shop kind of thing but I actually bought al these things at different times! My black heels are from korkys and I have theses babies for what seems like forever but the rest of the attire is all RI. The dress was €60 but the bag was €20 if I remember rightly and the necklace was around €20 as well, all quite pricey but your only 18 once right? Investing in a nice black clutch bag is never a bad idea and the statement necklace will surely become one of my staple pieces to dress up a simple outfit!</div>

<br />
My friends got me the most thoughtful gifts! A bag full of random goodies including a birthday badge they insisted I wear and a topshop voucher so I'll be getting lots of new bits really soon! My 4 best guy friends also got me a topshop voucher aswell unknowingly, I got lots of other vouchers and dollas form all my friends and family so a serious shopping trip is in store! My favourite present would have to be the Pandora ring my nana got for me! She said she wanted to get me something I'd always have which is so sweet and also a very good idea because otherwise I'd probably spend it on food or something... or clothes but its nice to have something like that from your nana ! My amazing parentals threw me a party and got me driving lessons so hopefully after the summer I'll be on my way to getting that licence (and one day that mini cooper!) I also decide to go for my first birthday purchase and buy the River Island chunky platform heels only in peach instead of black because I thought they were more unusual seen as I already have a black pair of heels and I'm absolutely obsessed, love them so much!<br />
