Tatty Devine Dublin Pop-up Visit.

I kind of love Tatty Devine jewellery and was pretty psyched to find out that they had opened a pop-up in BT2 on Grafton Street for the Christmas season. When I mentioned my desire to pop in and talk to people and take some photos, the brand was super-helpful and Aisling, who talked to me on the day, was so kind.

Aisling in action.

You can drop in during BT2's opening hours and get personalised bracelets or necklaces. Charms come in all shapes and you can start at one on a necklace, going up to fifteen on the bracelets. Initials or shapes with particular sentiments can be chosen. The process is pretty sweet and involved and I think is much nicer than passively buying some other gift with less thought put into it. Aisling tells me that the weirdest personalised request that they've gotten is for the word "my". Just my, not mine. And apparently it wasn't someone's name either...odd...

Two other super gift options are the cracker at twenty-five euro and the book at fifteen. The book shows how to make your own jewellery and is a gift that keeps on giving! The cracker is not only packaged adorably, it is also good value. The charm on the front is what hangs on a necklace which you construct upon opening. ALSO, it's a WORKING CHRISTMAS CRACKER. Awesome.

This was my last gift suggestion for this Christmas! Enjoy x

Royal Style.

I'm SO in love with The CW's Reign. It's just so gorgeous. And I totes just want to run around in gowns all day when I watch it. I have noticed, however, that the jewellery on the show seems very like pieces that Topshop does. Which gave me the idea to try and create looks on a similar vein from highstreet stores. Here they are!

Midi-rings, magnificent rings.

LOVING midi-rings at the moment. Seriously. These came as a pack of three from Topshop in copper, gold and silver for around seven euro. They fit into almost any outfit and the colours are gorgeous. All on one hand, one at a time, or across two - it just works!

Hallowe'en for the Fashion Forward Adult via Topshop.

I noticed these gorgeous masks there the other day and, sure enough, there were enough pieces in store to build four hallowe'en costumes.

Although "costume" seems the wrong word. More like a themed outfit. 

If ya gots money to spare and a hankering to look cool this hallowe'en - this is what I recommend!

My favourite pieces of jewellery.

So, I never wear a lot of jewellery but I'm mad about cute earrings and statement rings and necklaces. Here are some of the pieces in circulation at the moment. How rad are the cherub earrings? Topshop makes the best costume jewellery earrings around.

Presents!

Here are a sample of the awesome fashion-related presents I got this year! 

I love my godmother. She's rad. Jewellery and a Topshop voucher are always fantastic gifts.

Danish jewellery design is just the best

...but, then, so too is its Irish counterpart! Killarney Crystal do some stunning vintage-inspired pieces! This one was given to me by my Mammy.

Cheeky outfit post snuck in here - including the denim jacket my sibs bought me! It's perfect! I was looking for one with a boxy shape and lighter wash.

Black Thursday.
