Luv from Luvocracy xoxo

So, I've mentioned Luvocracy briefly before - it's a unique online shopping platform that lets you organise your lust haves and share the things you're feeling (kinda like Pinterest or Polyvore) as well as shop online. And best of all, they find you the best prices online!


Spring Essentials


My latest Luvocracy Collection, "Spring Essentials", has been getting a lot of love. No surprises there, I've got great taste. But above is just a sample of what you'll find on there. 

I got a sample of Roses de Chloe a while back and it's the perfect flowery, delicate scent for Spring - definitely my fragrance pick for the season! The collection will make my obsession with Topshop nail polishes apparent and I've chosen my favourite colours as well as an iPhone case inspired by the bottle. SO CUTE. TanOrganic's Oil Arganic is THE BOMB. I recommend for keeping your skin and hair perfect for sun and sea. I'm still obsessed with Tony Moly's Bunny Balm Bars and want every flavour. EVER. The collection is home to my other beauty and skincare picks as well as the clothes I'm digging. Comfy pastels that are easy to style are so the way forward!

POP Icons at BT2

Bonus points for the inclusion of real-life sun here.
I love me a wonderful display.


I love Pop Art references.


I love references to 90s super-hits.


I love playing with words.




I love Isabel Marant, Kenzo, JW Anderson, Opening Ceremony, Marc by Marc Jacobs...



...All this considered, you might be able to get why I'm majorly feeling POP Icons at BT2, right? The display is super-cute and the selection of product? Just perfect. The colours, the statements.


And the major statement I want to make is JW Anderson emblazoned across my chest like a battle-cry. Dat sweater - it's love.

Cue me skipping around BT2 joyfully.

Ch-ch-ch-check 'er out at BT2, Grafton Street, Dublin.

PS Happy Paddy's Day, y'all! I spent it hiding from Paddy's Day...How about you?

Longchamp Fun - Le Pliage Personalised.

(I refuse to spell "Personalised" with a 'z')

Longchamp are doing that thing we all like - making something ours, unique. Letting us feel special in a very controlled way. It's fun to personalise things and the customised bag they're offering us is much more affordable than the St Ives from Burberry Prorsum - similar feel, very different pricetag.

Whatevs, I'm a sucker for it.

My Le Pliage is the bag I use most. It's timeless, durable and great for throwing stuff into casually. It goes with almost everything and dresses both up and down. I'm really not in the market for another bag (trying to be good) but if I were, it'd be the style I'd shoot for. And I really like the idea of having one no one else will have. If you're in the market for something similar go here.

Here are two I made earlier - one in canvas and one in leather.

Elegant colours but embossed with "NSFW"
Again, restrained overall but with a tongue-in-cheek phrase on it. This time "swag".

Wild + fox.


First photo post in ages! There was actual sun today...I thought I had forgotten what it looked like but, boy, did I recognise it! Gimme, gimme, gimme.

But, srsly, this tee is by Wildfox (bought in Brown Thomas in Cork during the post-Christmas sales) and it is my current favourite item of clothing - no competition. I'm super into pastels at the moment and it's SO soft and over-sized and comfy. Love. 

I paired it with a pastel pair of Aztec-print leggings and a layer of Urban Renewal flannel for a little more warmth - it's not summer yet! Battered Cons and awesome Topshop sunnies plus my little studded Topshop hairband add to the laid-back yet kawaii feel of the whole look.

I needed to use all that lovely light and I really was feeling this outfit so I thought an OOTD plus the photos I took on my wander home were a good fit.

Hope you're all relishing the sun, too, if you're getting any (heh).
