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

TREND: Chunky Anklets

Hi Girls,

A new trend hitting the high street for Spring/Summer 2014 is Chunky Ankle bracelets.

 I'm sure most of us have worn a skinny little anklet on holidays back in the 90's, however the revival of anklets is much more dramatic this time around. They are thick, chunky and definitely make a statement. Instead of wearing them with your flip flops on the beach they are being worn above heels as an accessory for your stiletto.

Not only are they in the form of chains and gold chunky plates and bracelets, they also come in big colorful ribbons to brighten up the look, this can also be achieved easily as a DIY job with a bit of ribbon or fabric.

I am personally really liking this trend...what do you think?

Just Do it!!! :)

Hi Dolls :)
So here it is...my brand new, very own website...
I was a bit nervous about creating this at first and I put a huge amount of time and effort into the whole process so I really hope you all like it :)
Although I am not a shy person and I am chatty and love meeting new people, anyone who knows me well will tell you I lack in confidence and self esteem (you may have noticed I haven't done very many posts about myself or featured many pictures of myself until recently). I used to put off creating my own blog at first (even though I new it would be something I would love doing) with the fear of it not being 'good enough' or not being viewed at all. The same with my designs, I LOVE designing, I could research, sketch and make things all day but they always seem to end up sitting there in my bedroom never to be seen because I never take it that next step further.
 I have always talked about some day having my own website where I can write blog posts and feature my work but I wasn't putting those words into action.
However 3 months ago I decided to put my fear and low self esteem aside and just go for it. So I set up SassieDoll. To my surprise, the facebook page grew to over 1,000 likes in the first 2 weeks and now 3 months on it has over 6,000 likes and all of my friends have been really encouraging and supportive. Three months is a very short space of time and I still have a long way to go... I definitely didn't think I would be setting up my own website 3 months later but my goal for the blog was always to share fashion related news, trends, advice, to hear others tips and shared passions and eventually...to share my own designs. So that's where the website began to develop. Although I am starting very small with a mini collection of accessories, I am excited that it's a start :) So you can now 'SHOP' on my new website for your very own 'SassieDoll' bracelets and hopefully much more in the near future.
SassieDoll is still only small and developing but at this moment in time it is something I am most passionate about and enjoy doing so much. So far, luckily, I have have great support and positive feedback, I think it's more the fear of negativity that holds you back. So I guess the moto of this rant it just to believe in yourself and do the thing that makes you most happy regardless of what that may be and what you fear other people may think. Because like I said, although 3 months is a short space of time and the following is still somewhat small, I am so happy I finally went for it and created SassieDoll because I now LOVE doing it and hope I will be able to continue doing it for the foreseeable future  :)

Gosh, that got a bit deep...so anyway, to lighten things up, take a browse through the new website where you can access my blog, gallery, contact info and the SassieDoll shop HERE!!!

Enjoy,

Love SassieDoll xXx

FASHION: New Shoooeeesss :)

Hiya,

How's everyone's weekend going? :) Last night was my Christmas work party so I decided to treat myself to a new outfit. Here are the shoes I picked up for the night...I wanted wedges in-case it was going to be a long night because they are comfy and easy to walk in. These ones were only €34.99 in NEW LOOK and were defo SO comfy. I lasted from about 8.30 until 3 in the morning in them and my feet were fine (Well, they were obviously getting a bit tired by the end of the night but not uncomfortable from the shoes). :) Definitely a great purchase and a Bargain!!!

Enjoy...
