My favourite summer 2020 outfits!

 Hi everyone! I know summer is long gone at this stage but I wanted to put a little blog post together about my favourite outfits from this years summer season. We couldn't really do much with all the Covid-19 restrictions but it was still nice to get dressed up to celebrate a few friends birthdays and things to make the most of it. 

My first favourite was one I wore back at the start of July, when lockdown restrictions started to ease a little. It was my friend's birthday so I wore these yellow Stradivarius suit shorts, they were originally part of a set but because I bought them on ASOS I was able to purchase them separately. I then paired them with a lilac blouse from River Island, also bought on ASOS and my lilac purple converse which I got for an absolute bargain on Depop! I wore an old white belt with it and a white bag I got from Shein.


Around mid July it was my friends 21st, I had this outfit sitting in my wardrobe since March as I planned to wear it on a night out in Belfast before we were all sent home because of Coronavirus. I was devastated so I was so excited to finally get wearing it. I wore these purple satin trousers with a paper bag waist, originally from River Island but I got them again, for a steal, on Depop!! I paired these with my white Nike air force ones and a pink, lilac and cream floral blouse, also from River Island. To pull everything together I wore a dusky pink cross body bag from Topshop!


Lastly, I had another friends birthday in August. I used this opportunity to buy an outfit that had sat in my ASOS saves all summer, finally! I went for a green theme this time and wore a puffy sleeved sheer organza top. I love this top so much it's beautiful, it's the brand "Vila" and has small white polka dots and gold flecks through it. I then paired this with my green New Look trousers and my white Nike air force ones. I had a hard time deciding if I should wear a mint green or a white bralette under the top, as I got a pack of two on ASOS but because my shoes were white I settled for the white one. Again, I wore my pink Topshop bag to break up the outfit a little, I didn't get a picture as usual 😢


Thanks so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed seeing a few outfits I've pieced together over the last few months. I found over lockdown I spent a lot of time planning outfits with absolutely nowhere to go but thankfully they didn't all go to waste! Summer is definitely my favourite season for fashion so I really wanted to showcase this somewhere on my blog. Let me know your thoughts!

Iconic Topshop Pieces From The 2010's

Given the sad news about Topshop this week I thought it was only right to dedicate a blog post to the iconic fashion statements made by them, mainly to teens like myself living through the 2010 era. Topshop was sadly bought over by ASOS this week, meaning all stores have closed and the website is gone. I personally find this upsetting as I used to love my weekly trips with the girls, looking through the clothes on the shop floor only to go home and purchase online anyway, buying from ASOS will not be the same. That being said, Topshop is to blame for a few very questionable fashion choices made by UK teens over the years, so I thought I'd shed some light and take a trip down memory lane in memory of the good times.  First up, frilly socks. Truly iconic. I used to love my frilly socks, I probably had a pair in every colour and when they started to fade from the wash no doubt I'd be back buying a replacement pair. It was very rare to see me in anything but! Paired with the next ...

Barilla Marketing Technique!

  Hi everyone! I came across a Tik Tok today which put me on to Barilla Italia’s genius marketing strategy and I had to share it!  Barilla is a famous pasta company in the US. It is an Italian family-owned company and started in 1877. They have and specialise in many different shapes of pasta and pasta related products such as sauces etc. But, Barilla have came up with the idea of creating a Spotify account and making a playlist for each pasta box specifically.  Upon looking at the account you can see that they have a range of playlists depending on the type of pasta and the required cooking time, to ensure the pasta is cooked to perfection every time whilst always having a good time cooking it.  For example, there are “Moody Day Linguine”, “Top Hits Spaghetti” and “Best Song Penne”- the songs in each playlist depend entirely on their title and theme and each playlist finishes at the time needed for perfect pasta (e.g 7 or 11 mins). They include many artists and genr...

Does "Normal People" reflect normal TCD life?

Hi everyone!! I thought I'd make today's blog post all about the BBC's "Normal People", discussing my favourite elements and if it creates unrealistic expectations for being a student in Dublin. If you haven't watched it (why???), Normal People was based on Sally Rooney's bestselling novel and tells the tale of an almost unconventional love between main characters Marianne and Connell. They attend the same school, where they initially meet before going to the same university, Trinity College Dublin, a year later.   There are a few reasons why I think Normal People was so popular when it released. The first being, if you're anything like me seeing elements of Irish culture on TV brings you all kinds of joy! Normal People is set in the fictional town of Carricklea however it was filmed in Sligo. I found this was one of the main reasons I chose to watch it as I used to visit Sligo quite a lot as a young child, it was weird to see it featuring in a TV show...
