Bomber Jackets

 

In case you haven’t noticed already, bomber jackets are having sort of a fashion moment right now. 

They’re perfect for pulling off that off duty look that’s dominating the catwalks and our streets. They’re also lightweight enough to be worn in warmer months making them an ideal transitional piece.

Green – spring’s freshest most abundant shade enlivens whatever you put with it, especially soft neutrals. With it being St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow, it really is the colour du jour!

Spotlight on; Irish Designers

  

It suddenly has started to feel like spring now that the sun has decided to make an appearance on our fair isle! 

With St. Patrick’s day around the corner, there really is no better time to show your patriotic side by donning something designed and made here in Ireland 🍀 
  

Here are some of my favourite pieces from our own Irish Designers.

Caroline Matthews; 

Caroline is relatively new to Arnotts having just launched her collection in February of this year. Her pieces are taking the capital by storm and this designer’s star is definitely on the rise. I wish her every success in her career!

Steal Her Style; Leopard Print Edition

  

I’m beginning to think that leopard print is like marmite, you either love it or hate it. Some people consider leopard prints to be neutral, they are made up of brown, beige and black afterall. 

My opinion?  It’s seasonless, you can wear it with anything and like it or loathe it, leopard print is here to stay!

And there you have it, safari chic with just one leopard print accessory which is the way to hit the spot if you fear animal print will swallow you whole.

Outfit Ideas; Communion and Confirmation

I’ve received quite a few messages lately from my followers asking about outfit suggestions for Confirmations and Communions.

There’s a fine line between looking fashionable, (and appropriate) and being comfortable at these occasions and it can be quite the task to find something that you will also wear again. 

So I’ve come up with some ideas which I hope you all will find useful.

If you like what you see, why not leave a comment below my piece here to let me know what you’re liking and buying? 😘
