Little Trip to Paris and Madrid :)

Hi All,

I was just away on a little trip last week so I haven't had a chance to post much. Myself and my Boyfriend went to 3 cities in 6 days. We went to Bristol on Friday the 14th to go to Cheltenham for the horse racing (we had no winners though) :( Then the next morning we went to Paris for the Ireland v France Rugby match which was Amazing!!! We got upgraded to a junior sweet in our hotel too where we had a view of the Eiffel Tower from our balcony :)

We stayed in Paris for 2 nights and then headed to Madrid for another 2 nights. My boyfriend supports Real Madrid so we went to a football match while we were there too, I'm not a huge football fan but Ronaldo was playing so that made it a bit more interesting ;) I was a bit of a disaster for keeping my phone charged while we were away as there was a lot going on so I don't have any nice Fashionable photos to share, so here is just one or two of the trip in general such as Retiro Park in Madrid and the Stad de France Stadium where Ireland won the six nations :) I will be back tomorrow with a new 'Beauty Bargain of the Week'!

Lots of Love,

Zooey Deschanel Collection with Tommy Hilfiger

I am such a big fan of both Zooey Deschanel and New Girl! Both her character in New Girl and her personality in real life are cute, witty and funny and not to mention her individual and girly sense of style. So I was really excited to hear that Zooey (or 'Jess' in her hit TV show) has collaborated with Tommy Hilfiger to design a small collection of preppy, girly, summer dresses which will be sold in Macy's and on the Tommy Hilfiger website from April 2014.

The collection is said to be comprised of 16 'Sixties inspired short dresses' with 'interesting detail' and 'Flirty fabrics' according to Tommy Hilfiger himself in WWD.
The dresses are priced from $98 to $199 and are said to be very like the style of sixties fashion icons Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy.
Have a look below for a look at the first few pieces from the collection...Enjoy! xXx

FASHION: Sarah Jessica Parker's Shoe Collection

Last week I posted a picture showing a distant glimpse of the much anticipated shoe collection by Sarah Jessica Parker on our facebook page. Well now the fashion icon has released images of the full collection for fashionistas everywhere to feast your eyes on, although it isn't available to purchase until the 28th of Feb.

SJP has said the collection of shoes is inspired by a number of things in her life including classic styles from the seventies and eighties. She said "I'm a firm believer in quality and timelessness and have created this collection with the hopes that women will love wearing it for years to come".

The shoe range has also seen her collaborate with the CEO of designer shoe label Manolo Blahnik, George Malkemus. The collection is only available in Nordstrom stores in America however it will be available for us to buy online at Nordstrom.com with a price range of around €200.

You can have a look at some of the collection below...Enjoy :) xXx

FASHION: Bits and Bobs...

Hiiiii :)

How are you all?

I decided to do a little post on a few statement pieces I received as presents for Christmas or picked up myself over the last few weeks.

I never even posted a pic over Christmas of my FAVE present which was a Michael Kors Clutch which I previously featured on my facebook page for SassieDoll with the caption "I NEED this bag"!!! So a big well done to my boyfriend on getting it for me :) <3 I was over the moon!

As well as my dream clutch, I was given a couple of gorgeous statement neck pieces which I want to share with you guys, and 2 T-shirts which are also statement pieces and would both be perfect teamed with a pair of leather look leggings, heels or biker boots and a blazer or leather jacket. Have a browse through them below where I have also written the brand of each item and where it can be purchased!

Enjoy...

If you are a Kimmie K fan (like myself) then this light hearted statement tee is a must for your wardrobe. It is by 'ELEVEN PARIS' and is available in BT2.

I LOVE this fun T-Shirt that my Sister got me for Christmas, with 'SELFIE' being a household phrase around the world at the moment this is definitely a fun statement Tee. Available in NEW LOOK.

My sister also got me this statement necklace from PENNEYS. It is Black & Gold and is the perfect piece to dress up any outfit.

The last thing I wanted to show you is this Gorgeous white Crochet necklace with hanging jewels that my Auntie got me for Christmas. I LOVE it!!! It is so pretty and delicate and will be gorgeous in the summer with some denim. It is from NOAH NOAH.

BEAUTY: MAC MAGNETIC NUDE 2014

Hi Girlies,

Has anyone seen or purchased anything from the MAC Magnetic Nude collection yet? It is AMAZING!!! It hit down in BT2 about a week ago and has already sold out of some products.

The shimmering bronzed eye-shadows, skin finishes and nude glosses and perfect for the summer season. They will add a glow to anyone's skin.

The collection consists of 3 multi-dimensional skin-finishes, 3 blushers, 4 lipsticks, 5 lip glosses, 5 eye-shadows, fluid-liners and 2 split fibre brushes.

They come in the most beautiful nude, bronze and pink sun-kissed shades. I will definitely have a few of these as staple pieces in my make-up bag throughout Spring/Summer 2014! :) xXx

#100DaysOfHappiness

Hi All,

This post is a little bit different than what I usually write about (i.e fashion/beauty trends and products) but I think it is a really good idea and wanted to share it.
I first heard about it when I saw Irish model Pippa O'Conor Ormond post a picture on instagram with the hashtag #100DaysOfHappiness and saying she was "starting today".
I got curious so I began googling the term to see what it was all about. I think it is such a cute and positive idea.
 Basically, everyday for 100 days, you take a picture of one thing (Anything at all...big or small) throughout your day that made you smile or made you feel happy.
There is a website (100happydays.com) where you can register your details and you upload your pics every day but I think I will just do it myself. Each day you just post your one picture on instagram/facebook/twitter with the hashtag #100daysofhappiness and that's all there is to it!

There is no specific reason or outcome at the end of the 100 days, it is just a personal challenge to help you find and appreciate the smaller things in life that make you happy each day! :)

There may be things on certain days that you didn't get a chance to photograph so I thought it would be a nice idea to keep a little diary where I will write the thing that made me happy each day (and if I do manage to get a pic I will stick it into the diary too) so you will always have it to look back on as well.

This might not be some people's cup of tea, but I think anything big or small that can bring you a smile and a bit of positivity to each day is worth giving a go :)

Let me know if you've decided to do it and share your happy pics with me on Instagram by using the hashtag #sassiedoll100 as well as #100daysofhappiness.

TREND: Boyfriend Jeans

I'm sure by now most of us are aware that boyfriend jeans are set to be one of the biggest trends for Spring/Summer 2014. They have already started to hit the high street in force and are a staple piece among celebrities and style bloggers. My favorite look is to team them with a court heel and a casual fitted top or a 3/4 sleeve blouse tucked into them to dress them up a bit more.

 I have put together this little list of some boyfriend jeans alongside their price and where to find them to save you the time :) Enjoy x
