Style Diary: Blanket Coat

This picture garnered quite a bit of interest on the social media, so let me fill you in.....



The coat is an Oasis 'blanket coat' very similar to a dressing gown and just as cosy! And it's a bargain at the minute, on sale reduced from €125 down to €44! It's really soft and the hood is massive so just what you need for cold, blustery days. And I'm sure we'll have no shortage of them in Ireland!




As for my hair, in the top picture I styled it with my Yogi curling wand that Santa brought me a few years ago, but you can get them in Peter Mark as well :) I did a good few small sections of hair then brushed it out so the curls weren't too tight or neat.



In the second picture (taken this morning) I did a quick job with the InStyler and it turned out a bit more wavy. I only got the InStyler a few weeks ago so I have to give it a few more goes on my own hair before I give my verdict. My hair is very fine so I'm finding the big barrel on the Instyler a bit difficult to get used to. But I have used it on my colleague who has lovely thick long hair and here's the end result.....




I'll keep you posted on how I'm getting on with the InStyler, and as always keep an eye on my Instagram as everything is on there first!

My Black Friday Top Picks

Image
In a perfect world I'd have all the money and I'd be able to buy all the things (and there'd be no such thing as calories). Unfortunately that's not the case, but if it was this is what I'd be spending my money on, this Black Friday. Body Blur 50% off This fake tan, which gives the illusion of flawless skin, is loved by Pippa O'Connor and Waxperts Ellen and I just have to have it!!!  As fake tans go it's pretty pricey but today you can get it for half price on Simply Foxy Missguided 50% off I'll be honest I'm not a huge fan of Missguided. But I've had my eye on these shoes for the longest time! The straps and studs make them quite trendy, very Valentino-esque, while the nude colour makes them wearable all year round. Oasis Dress 20% off (code HAPPY20) I saw this dress on a mannequin in Oasis and I swear to God, angels were singing down onto it as I stared. It is DIVINE!! It's perfect Christmas party dress that you can wear over and over aga

Make Up by Polish Hand & Foot Spa

Image
As you may have seen from my millions of pictures on Facebook & Instagram , I got my make up done! This is so exciting for me because it's something I never do! If I'm going to a salon it's usually for nails or a blow dry, I just never think to get my make up done! And why wouldn't I? I do my own make up decent enough.....but let's be honest it's never anything special. So I was only delighted when I was given the opportunity to have someone else do it for me! I was invited to Polish Hand & Foot Spa to get my make up done yesterday evening, and it was such a lovely treat!! First of all Polish Spa on Fitzwilliam Street, Dublin is a very chic salon run by Leanne and Emma. For me (and probably most other people) the interior of a salon really adds to the experience and Polish Spa did not disappoint. It was a really clean and fresh salon with pretty blue wallpaper and lovely white and grey antique furniture. Leanne Nugent the owner of Polish Spa and aka F
