Hello, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas! If you're a shopaholic like I am, then the excitement for the sales after Christmas almost matches the excitement for Christmas itself! Today I want to share you with a few tips I have for finding the best bargains and some of my top picks for this years sales!

How To Find The Best Bargains & My Top Sales Picks

Hello! Today's post is a little more serious and personal than what I usually post but if I'm honest about my favourite beauty products, why not be honest about how I'm feeling?

Hello! It's been quite a while since my last Penneys haul (over two months to be exact) so I thought today would be the perfect time to share what I've picked up in my favourite shop recently!

My Recent Penneys Purchases

Hello! Last month whilst I was up in Dublin I went to Platinum Hair Extensions to get my first ever set of hair extensions. I have quite fine hair, and although I do have a lot of it, I've always wished I had more so getting hair extensions has always been something I've wanted to try.


Hello! I've been doing a bit more travelling recently, and have found that every time I'm packing my suitcase, or overnight bag, I'm reaching for the same beauty products over and over again so I thought I'd share them with you all!

Hello! Yesterday I was lucky enough to be one of the few to be let loose in the brand new Penneys in Liffey Valley the day before it officially opened. Since I know that most of you are just as obsessed with Penneys as I am, I thought I'd share some photos of the new store and tell you more about the day!

Hello, I hope you're all having a lovely weekend so far! Lately I've been making a conscious and very determined effort to get healthier, and if you're following me on Snapchat (my username is penneystoprada) then you're probably sick of me talking about the gym!

Hello! Recently I've been on the hunt for the perfect ankle boot and when I say hunt, what I really mean is that I've scoured the internet high and low and have seen pretty much every boot that fashion has to offer! Today I thought I'd share with you all some of the boots that have caught my eye in case any of you are also on the hunt!

Hello, I hope you've all had a lovely weekend! Last Sunday my boyfriend and I took a trip up to Dublin to see Kaleo (one of my favourite bands) and stayed in the Temple Bar Hotel*, so today I thought I'd share with you all our experience and why it's now one of my top hotels in Dublin!

Hello! So 'Black Friday' is technically on the 25th of November this year, but the term is broadly used to describe the week leading up to it the actual Friday too. It's that time of year when shops are offering amazing discounts and sales and resisting the urge to buy everything is very hard! Today I've picked some of the sales and discounts that caught my eye to make spending money even easier for you all, how nice of me, just click the images to shop the sales!

Hello! Today I want to share with you all some of my A/W make-up essentials. I find that in the summer I tend to not wear too much make-up, especially lipstick and eyeshadow, so as soon as autumn rolls around I'm very ready for the bold lips and smokey eyes!

Hello! Some of you may have seen that I recently took a trip up to Fermanagh to visit Lusty Beg Island * with my boyfriend, Dara.

Hello, I hope you're all having a lovely week! Today I want to share with you my current make-up routine. Now, I'm not an expert in beauty by any means, but I have gotten my make-up routine down to a fine art and if needs be, I can do my full face in less than ten minutes, impressive right?!

Hello! Some people have a shoe addiction, some people a bag addiction, but for me personally, it's watches that I can just never have enough of! I got my first Daniel Wellington watch last December (read all about it here) and ever since then, I've become obsessed!

Hello! I've been promising this Penneys haul for weeks on my Snapchat so here it is (finally)! I've said it before and I'll say it again, A/W is my favourite time of year when it comes to clothes and Penneys never disappoint year after year with their coats, jumpers and blanket scarfs!

Hello! Last Thursday, the 29th of September 2016, marked my 21st birthday. As far as birthdays go, 21 is one of the 'milestones', so I thought I'd write a post to mark the occasion.

Hello! Autumn has definitely arrived and so has the AW stock in all our favourite shops! While I love Summer and the bright, sunny days, I much prefer Autumn/Winter style. Transitioning from summer to autumn style is a lot easier than you'd think, as you can still wear pieces from the summer, so today I'm sharing a few outfits I've put together for this season!

Have you ever felt like you were in a slump? Well, that's exactly how I've been feeling for the last few weeks and today I want to talk about it.

Hello! Since it's been over two months since my holiday in Spain, and my natural tan has well and truly faded (heartbreaking I know), I've been trying out TanOrganic's products to give me some glow back.

Hello! Today I am finally getting round to a post that has been sitting in my drafts for months. The main reason it's taken me so long to publish this post is that I don't feel as if I'm an 'expert blogger' and therefore shouldn't be giving advice on blogging. However, I get asked daily on Snapchat and Facebook about my tips on starting and running a blog, so here they are!

So You Want To Start A Blog?

Hello! It's coming to that time of year where we have to accept that summer is almost over and winter is coming (I'm sorry, I just had to)! With the colder months comes drier skin, so today I wanted to talk about my favourite products for battling flaky dehydrated skin.

Hello! Today I have an outfit post that's actually been sitting on my memory card since May that I just never got around to posting. I wore this outfit to go and see Busted (my childhood dreams come true) with my sister and it was such a lovely day!

Hello! Recently I've been trying to impose a 'spending ban' on myself as far as clothes go and apart from one slip up in Penneys (I'm only human after all) I've done pretty well! Of course, not buying clothes means that I have lots of pieces building up on my wishlist and today I wanted to share them with you!

Hello! Teatoxes have been quite a controversial subject in recent years with there being a very divided opinion on whether they actually 'work' or not. If I'm being honest I was very dubious about them for a while, even turning down an opportunity to try out a different teatox last year. I'd read some horror stories and was slightly wary of the ingredients these teas contained.

Hello! I'm sure you've all heard the phrase "Fake it 'till you make it" in relation to being confident in yourself, right? Today I want to talk about what to do when you 'make it' and why self love never has been and never will be a bad thing.

Hello! If you follow me on Snapchat (penneystoprada) you will have seen that last Thursday I went along to the Penneys/Primark Autumn/Winter Press Day. This was my first Penneys press day as I sadly couldn't attend the previous one due to college exams so I was like a kid in a sweet shop, absolute heaven!

Hello! Today I want to talk about something very different from my usual outfit posts, something that's been weighing heavily on my mind for the past week.

Consent Is Non-Negotiable

13.6.16


Hello! Today I have another outfit post for you all. With the weather being so nice lately it's been very handy for getting shots of what I've been wearing and with the nice weather comes the opportunity for white denim! Now of course you could be super brave and wear white denim in the winter, but I prefer to stick to the warmer months so that the colour of my skin doesn't match the colour of my jeans!

Just Like Honey

Hello! Recently, Penneys have brought out the PS...PRO range, a new make-up range that had everyone very excited. I've always been a fan of Penneys' make-up, from their matte lip liners to their shimmery baked bronzer so I couldn't wait to try out the PS...PRO range.

Hello! I don't know about you but when the end of Spring rolls around, I try to wear as little black as possible, apart from my trusty skinny jeans of course. For someone who loves a good biker jacket, this can sometimes be a probably as you can usually only find them in black, but recently shops such as Stradivarius and Zara have brought out gorgeous coloured biker jackets, hooray!

Hello! I'm sure you can tell from the picture in my sidebar that I'm not the most bronzed girl there ever was, and I have the Irish weather to thank for that! Sometimes I can get bored of my skin being the same colour as a piece of paper, so I use self tan to warm up my appearance. Today I want to tell you about my top four most favourite tans and also share a few of my tanning tips.

Hello! So I'm sure you've guessed from the above picture that this is a 'haul' type post, and a rather large one at that! You all seem to really love seeing what I've bought recently and over the last month or so I've picked up quite a few (more like way too many) gorgeous pieces, so here they are!

Hello! Today's post is something I've wanted to write for a while, but it's also something I've had trouble finding the right words for. You might read the title and think I'm going to tell you to lock yourself away with no human contact but you're wrong...

Hello! Today I want to share with you all some of the beauty products that I've found myself reaching for the most in the last few weeks. You might recognise some of them from my "New In: Beauty & First Impressions" post but there are also a few new products in here too.

Hello! Online shopping is one of the best (and also worst) things to happen to my shopping addiction. I'm sure a lot of you will agree with me when I say that online shopping is one of our favourite pass times, I mean who doesn't love being able to look at (and most likely buy) pretty things from the comfort of their own bed?!  My love for online shopping meant I was very excited when I heard about DPD's newest service, Parcel Wizard.
