The Glorious Glasshouse



Morning Gorgeous!

So I figured I would write a wee review on our stay at The Glasshouse in Sligo, we stayed there 2 weeks ago for a girly night away and it was fab!

First - The Hotel

The hotel was gorgeous, very modern and beautifully decorated. Very quirky furniture which was cool! The rooms were nice - clean, spacious and most importantly had a full length mirror! (Don't even pretend that's not important to everyone!) 

We had afternoon tea in the hotel, it only cost €10 each which was a serious bargain considering the amount of food we got, it was insane and SO delicious! We decided to get some bubbly to really make the most of the day, it was fab! The few is also worth mentioning - looking right over the river, just so gorgeous!





We had a few drinks in the bar then as it was lashing out, they had jazz music playing upstairs and the place was really busy! It is a really nice hotel to just sit and have a drink in and the staff were all really nice. 
We chilled out in the room for a bit waiting for the rain to pass and figure out somewhere to go for dinner. The rain never stopped the whole day so we decided to just eat in the hotel for handiness. We were extremely glad we did as the food was DELICIOUS! They had a few parties on in the Restaurant so they couldn't take us but they let us sit in there and have bar food so it was great. We all enjoyed our meal - just really tasty food and I would definitely recommend it. 


And Now - The Oufits

Day
I wanted to be well dressed going down since we were going for Afternoon Tea nearly as soon as we arrived so I opted for heels.

I got these shoes in Dunnes Stores a few weeks ago, I think they were €40. I love them! I seen the black version of them on SoSueMe and was delighted to find these as they are very Valentino inspired!
The top I picked up in Penneys, I was drawn to it for the colour and thought the neckline was very cute. Something a little different!
I threw on the white jeans as a last hurrah for Summer! That's them packed away now until next year so I wanted to get one more run out of them! :P

Night
I picked up this shirt in H&M, I love shirts. Love love love them with everything so once I found this I knew what kind of skirt I wanted and luckily I found it in New Look! It is a suede material with an a line style and I love it! Of course paired with my trusty Public Desire laceups! Sorry not sorry.

A/W feels.



 
Morning Gorgeous

I am fully embracing the Autumn/Winter weather, it is most definitely my favourite time of the year. I just ADORE all things cosy! 

I have not done an outfit post in what feels like ages so here is a little quick post on this very Wintery outfit. I am so excited about Christmas this year, I am trying to figure out when it is acceptable to put my decorations up! Halloween needs to hurry up and be over!

So Mustard is my absolute favourite colour - if there is an item of clothing in Mustard then you bet your ass I'm going to buy it. I have always loved it and Autumn is the best time to break it out. The jeans are from River Island, I love them. They have the best jeans. 



The coat - Oh the coat! I walked into River Island to buy a present for my sister and I literally could not leave the shop without it. I fell in love instantly and had to have it! It is leather with some suede panelling and it is amazing! The fur lines right down to the bottom, its so luxurious!

Snapchat is taking over the world!

Morning Gorgeous!

So I have been sick for a whole week, been off work and just lying on the sofa. To say I was bored is a massive understatement. I relied on social media to keep me entertained throughout the week as there is only so much tv you can watch, the one I always check first is Snapchat.

Snapchat is quickly overtaking all other social media platforms and I am addicted! It's great to have celebrities on there so you get a little insight into their everyday lives and I guess it makes you realise they are just normal people like the rest of us! 
I follow lots of bloggers on there as I love to see what everyone is up to and get a look first hand at fabulous events they are attending. I love seeing their days off also, I assume I'm not the only one who takes comfort in seeing glamorous people in their sweats an odd day?! 

So naturally there is a few people that I just get very excited when they have a story up, especially this week when I've had NOTHING else to do and I know it can be hard to find people on snapchat as you need to have their exact name so I wanted to give you my little list of people that are my faves! 

So I will give you my top 5 then a few extras that I like to watch too :)

Top 5
1. Lovelygirlybits
Karen is a beauty blogger and she is always my first watch. She is just something different entirely, I have so many laugh out loud moments and proper belly laughs at her snaps. She is serious craic, is so random and her sense of humour is positively wicked. Love love love her! She also makes up her own words and phrases and they are genius. When I think of Karen there are so many things that spring to mind - I think Pubicles, Pjs, Bailey (the cutest dog), Gee eyed, Downton Abbey, Bourjois mascara, coffee, chats and a seriously unnatural obsession with scarrves. Her snaps are just absolutely hilarious and if you don't follow her then you are seriously missing out. My boyfriend HATES that I'm constantly on Snapchat but he even enjoys Karen's ramblings. 

2. Waxpertsellen
Ellen is a business woman. She owns Waxsperts which is a unique waxing brand that created its own special wax. Ellen has a salon herself and also stocks loads of other salons with her Waxperts wax. She is extremely successful and is only getting more successful every day. The thing about Ellen is, well firstly she's absolutely gorgeous, beautiful inside and out. She has stunning eyes and lips that give Angelina Jolie a run for her money! Secondly, she is probably the most genuine person you will ever watch on Snapchat. She holds nothing back and I would genuinely believe anything she told me. She just has a way about her, you immediately trust her and wise to do so. She is an amazing woman with the most beautiful son! Cooper is just the cutest - if I hear him say 'lovely day' once more I may actually explode! He is so adorable. He is probably the only child that I like seeing on Snapchat! 

3. Rosemarymaccabe
Rosemary is the Deputy Editor at Stellar Magazine. I love Rosemary because she is not afraid to complain and if she ever were to read this I hope she is not insulted as this is meant entirely as a compliment! She will tell you everything - she doesn't only complain, that is absolutely not all she does! She also talks about things she loves and I find her so refreshing! She will tell you her honest opinion on anything and you can be sure as hell that she means what she's saying! Which is why when she complains about anything you know she's not holding back and it's always relatable and I always agree with her! She's great craic and you get lots of little insights into her job at the Magazine.

4. Jamespatrice
James is someone I have only very recently followed and I am obsessed already. He is a fashion blogger with a seriously funny sense of humour! The way he says 'Hiya' makes me so happy, the face he pulls, good Lord he is just so funny. He secretly films his mother also and honestly that poor woman is going to have a heart attack some day! He scares her constantly. Everything about him just entertains me. He also mimes to songs a lot and let me tell you now you have not lived until you've witnessed this. His facial expressions are just.... Too much. Love him!!

5. Facesbygrace23
Grace is a beauty blogger, she posts outfit pics also but she primarily a beauty expert. She works, from what I gather, part time for Bare Minerals in Liffey Valley. She also does freelance work such as makeup and spray tans. Grace is great because she posts lots of products as well as showing her go to faves. She is very down to earth and shares a lot with her followers. She suffers from anxiety and I can imagine hearing her talk about it so openly would be extremely comforting for anyone else who suffers from it. She seems like a very genuine girl and someone you could easily be best friends with, she's very bubbly and I adore her. She is not afraid to snap with no makeup on or when's she's just got up in the morning and it's nice to see all aspects of her life, not just the glamorous bits. Maybe that's just me being nosy but I like it!

Other faves that I love to see on Snapchat are -
