Fashion Statement Boots For Winter

Who doesn't love boots? They are the perfect essential to comfort, style and warmth. We all love them, and having too many is never a problem - the more, the better. So with October coming to a close, we are slowly creeping into our beloved Christmas seasons. Jackets, faux fur, warm cosy knits and boots is all we want in our closet. But I know there sometimes can be a major problem, and that is of course in finding the right pair of boots. I know my friends often say its hard to find the right heel on a boot, sometimes we can see a pair we want but the heel can be often to high or low. Luckily, with research done I picked you ladies out five statement boots you cannot go wrong with. Each five have a heel suitable for any height alongside coming in all reasonable prices under 50.00 With suede, leather and animal print you can glam up any boot with any outfit as long as it matches your inner comfort zone.
So go ahead, have a browse on this cold Friday night (maybe even do some online shopping).
I hope you enjoy the read and boots.

Welcoming October

Its that time of year again, the time of year we all want our cosy knitwear, leather boots and oversized jackets. Its also that time of year again when we say goodbye to our floral tropical clothing. Although it might be sad for some to say goodbye to the summer season, its comforting to somewhat know Christmas is just around the corner. So with the new season at our toes, whats better than a shopping spree to your local high street stores like  Zara, RI and Topshop.
As you know Im a Zaraholic and want every single piece of clothing the fabulous store holds. Merely, because of this,  here is some stylish pieces from our beloved top of the AW style store.
Enjoy your day,

Paris I Love You

I know what your probably thinking before you read this - that I was already in Paris previously. Thats right to start of with, I was proudly in the beyond beautiful city of love going back in May and sadly Im only getting to write about it now. Back in May my laptop was broken which left me behind in all of blog posts - so as they say, better late than never. Im not going to go on to much, lets just say the whole four days were magical. Staying in the centre of Paris with Daniel in an exquisite Parisian hotel capturing a powerful bright glimpse of the Eiffel Tour. We ventured to Disneyland, The Louvre, Versailles, and all the famous attractions Paris has to offer. Although it was very expensive, it was safe to say every penny was worth it. The food, weather, atmosphere and even just the relaxation of sitting in front of a French Cuisine was emphatic. I loved it, all of it and cannot wait to visit it again some day. I travelled to London twice this summer, Paris and ended my summer in the canary sunshine of Lanzarote. Gosh I love travelling,  Im such a travel-bug. Its amazing to see and witness different cultures and its comforting to say I've once been part of it all.

So to some up my short piece on La Paris - here is some of my favoruitre pictures I captured over there. Feeling a mixture between Blair Waldorf and Carrie Bradshaw it was a vacation I will always remember.To see more of my Paris pictures go onto my facebook page, I have a whole album on my time there.

The Launch of Irish Blogger Agency

Where do I start? Words cannot describe how over the moon I feel right now. Everything in life is going great, work, college, friends, family, and to top it all of my blog. Yesterday I attended the launch of the Irish Blogger Agency at Dublin's Double Tree by Hilton. The whole day in a nutshell was superb - it was filled with bloggers, excitement alongside extraordinary speakers who thought us the key to successful blogging in the near upcoming future. Our fabulous host and the woman who brought all of us together - Sinead Carroll is beyond talented, and I truly cannot wait to work with her. Merely, as you probably already seen my snap chats during the day, you probably already know what I luckily received and learnt throughout the day. Blank Canvas gifted us all a box filled with 100 euro of products including makeup brushes and a glamorous palette of bronze eye-shadows. I usually would buy much makeup so Im so excited to try these out! Companies and reps from all over Ireland attended including So Fragrances, a rep from Cocoa Brown and many more (too many to name). All in all the day was a huge success - not only did it teach us the value of blogging and whats in store for the future, but it gave us a chance to meet new people doing the same line of work that we all want to do. I know it can be hard to balance time, especially for me with blogging part time and college, but I really try my best and put a lot of effort into my written pieces. So start your Monday on a note of pessimism, get work done and trust me it all pays of in the end. My goal is to become a fashion journalist, and its safe to say Im going to work hard until one day I can finally say Iam one.

Have a great week ladies, for recent updates on my days follow my Instagram account which holds all my personal pictures and style I capture.

Simple Look From Topshop

Good evening or should I say goodnight? After a hectic week of college work im back at home with another busy weekend ahead. This Sunday Im attending a blogger event in the Hilton Hotel Dublin accompanied by my fabulous blogger friend - Thats So Ray (check her out if you have not already). Anyways to the point Im getting to, I just want to show you all lovely ladies what I wore last night out in Galway. It was a girls night which meant lots of getting ready and lots of various decisions of what to wear. So with the help of a friend; I wore this simple yet fashionable dress from our beloved Topshop store. The colour which will never get old or out of style is a colour we a guaranteed to wear all year around. I think the colour black or gold is most suitable to wear with it as it captures the colour of the dress greatly. My overall look was simple, I usually would curl my hair but instead I decided to keep it simple alongside the look. My shoes are from +Missguided , they are actually very
comfortable and i have them over two years now!

So if your looking for a simple look for a night out why not pick up one these midi dresses, they come in baby pink, black and cream. Oh and I almost forgot to mention - how fab is the back of it?

Hello Autumn, Yellow & Velvet.

With the Autumn months slowly creeping in we find ourselves slowly replacing our beloved summer clothes with chunky oversized knits and boots. We all love warm cosy jackets, beige clothes and dusky colours to represent our Autumn wardrobe. With the welcoming season embracing, here is a few tips to add to your newly adjusted closet.

1) YELLOW/MUSTARD this colour is totally the "it" colour for this season, anything yellow added to your outfit gives you that catwalk look of knowing how stylish your look really is. Mustard mini skirts are all in Zara stores, alongside many velvet styled skirts and high collared tops. As you probably know already Zara is my guilty pleasure, cheap, cheerful & most importantly top of the range high street fashion - so get your all yellow everything in there!!

SHOP HERE



2) Silver tones of colour with oversized clothing, similar to the picture above. Tiny Ts with baggy knits styled with long pleated metallic skirts are a must do. It chanels ones inner Dolce & Gabanna.
You can get the long pletted skirts in any high street store including Penneys. They have a great varied selection of colours, styles and patterns. Matched with heels or boots they are a comfortable classy essential to have any time of year.



3) Get your Kim K fashionista style out this season  with Yeezy styled boots. Although they might be top of the range expensive,but luckily you can shop them here on https://ie.prettylittlething.com/
They are simply all the style this season, I personally LOVE them - especially because you can style them with anything dressy or casual. All in all this outfit all matched together in one is one to add to ones AW closet.

SHOP HERE
I truly hoped this somewhat helped you formed an idea on what to look for while shopping this season, I will keep you updated during the week with another inspired high street outfit.
Enjoy your Wednesday,

Neal and Wolf Hair Products

The last month has been extremely busy. Luckily, its now early September which means Im back to college in Galway, which also means back to routine and work! Im also just back from the sunny canary islands of Lanzarote which i spent an amazing week in the hot sun, alongside sipping cocktails and reading a magnificent novel by the Sex and the City author, Candace Bushnell. However, to the very point Im getting to, on my return back to Ireland I received the most gorgeous parcel packed with Neal and Wolf hair products. It included, the shampoo, conditioner, hair treatment and protection spray for my hair. With the appealing look of them what more could I do but run to the shower to try them out. So now here Iam writing this piece with 100% honestly, that the products are a heavenly way to treat your hair. I myself, have quite dry hair which means if I dont tend to wash it after two days the volume no longer stays, but surprisingly with the following my hair was left feeling silky, smooth and healthy after two days. Also the shampoo and conditioner are said on the label for daily usage, this means you can use the products daily without your hair getting oily and greasy. The products are deigned on the theme of luxury, in other words Neal and Wolf want you to grasp confidence and passion in your hair. The smell alone of the products are different to all other hair cosmetics, the smell in which stays in your hair giving you that fresh floral scent of glamour. So if your looking for a new hair brand or even want to give your locks that special treatment like I did; why not shop +Neal and Wolf  now? For me reviewing this I cannot but tell you its definitely worth a try.

A Recent Update On My Summer So Far.

Just a quick update for you all, I have not exactly had all the time in the world  recently to be greatly writing updates in my blog. Between working / learning how to drive & travelling my summer has being safe to say busy so far. Another reason why I haven't being writing much on my blog is because my blog in the next while is being completely updated with a new website design. Furthermore I will discuss more about this matter in the  near future, but for now Im back at it with all new tips for the AW16 collection from our highstreet store Topshop & in the next upcoming weeks I will have Aines Boutique AW range too. Cailyn Cosmetics have also contacted me to promote their products which is a great honour. I was recently in London with my besties for a few days - the sun was shining (in other words it was extremely hot). We went site seeing around Notting Hill and basically all over central London in the big red hop on buses. It was a trip to remember with the gleaming lights of Piccadilly circus in which we seen a west-end play and of course we had to hit the high street stores on Oxford Street. London is one of my favourite places - its like a mini world all in one city. I really cannot wait to attend London Fashion College here in the next few years. So, thats pretty much my excuse for busy me. Also I want to thank you all for being so supportive - its only the beginning of my fashion journey alongside many new adventures and collaborations on its way!

The Fashion Agenda For Mid SS16

Ok so we all need to know whats in and whats not in right? Straight away we need to replace the replaceable such as big bags to camera size bags, mini skirts to mom skirts - I have what us girls need this SS16. With the summer months passing by before our eyes we really need to step up our style ethic. For me, my secret comes from magazines upon magazines. I get my style and fashion ideas from the latest looks of models and fashion icons around the globe, so if your ever needing the urge for style advice pick up a copy of Stellar, Vogue or even Hello Fashion. I myself find it hard to witness the luxurious drapery of Vivienne Westwood, Olivia Palmero (earths fashionista) & all the haute couture inspirations. So the point im getting to is pretty straight forward - a list of 5 fashion statements you need to add to your closet, wear on a daily basis and basically strut in this mid summer season.

1) Everyday dresses: A must have to your wardrobe, with barely there heels, flats or sandals. Seize the fabulous moment in a long flowy summer evening dress because its the essence of SS16.
~ Search Victoria Beckham or Vanessa Hudgens on Instagram to have a glance at their everyday dresses.
2) Off the shoulder tops: Oh la la.. we all love this statement! Its an opportunity to flourish our collar bones in the shimmering sunlight. It gives us that cool but not to over dressed look we all need and want. Looking for a good purchase with this honestly every high street store has a huge selection with all reasonable prices and styles ( which makes our outfits the perfect combo of mix and matching). Also invest in a strapless bar of nipple daisy's to help achieve your Chloe look.
3) Mom Skirts: We all need one, and it looks like the 70s fashion piece is here to stay for summer. Coming in every shape and colour that exists - the below your knee comeback skirt is an essential that can be worn with a knitted T and killer heels.
4) Camera Bags: The smaller the bag the more fashionable. SS16 new arm candy is the camera bag in courtesy of Burberry. Perfect for a night out - which carries your iPhone, lippy and cash! If your looking for one in any high street store be sure to look in RI or Zara.
5) Summer Trench Jackets: The long sophisticated jackets are an unique blossom to any woman's closet. You can give that effortless look with sassy heels, runners or even a sexy evening dress thanks to the trench jacket. Its a golden classic thanks to Dior.

Until next time, and I hope my advice worked. Stylishly, HaylsKouture X

There's No Place Like Cannes

With all the sharp beauty and elegant gowns, the Cannes film festival recently had taken place. Situated on the French Rivera, all the famous celebs soaked up the glorious sun in style and power. From our number one style queen Blake lively strutting her Givenchy couture to Kendell Jenner florurishing her usual beauty in Balmain. All in on every person that stepped foot onto the empathic red carpet looked a million dollars. As we all however have different tastes in fashion, from crazy patterns to an all white gown its safe to say all the celebs celebrated the festival in shimmering designs. From looking at Insatgram, Blake showed of each of her designer pieces she displayed to the world each night- and because of this she was by far my favorite at the occasion. Her elegant figure which saturated her tiny baby bump gave her that glowing look we all love her for. In the following display,  my top 5 styles (not in order) are reflected showing the glamorous style  antics witnessed at Cannes! +Cannes Film Festival 

 
  

The Summer Vibe

As the exams and studying are brushed over, the summer season has come to an exciting start. Among travel and festivals we all need and want the vivid summer look. Like that, its often hard to find the perfect summer clothing; knowing what and not what to wear alongside colours is indeed tricky. Well for this summer its safe to say denim, pastels and the colour white is here to stay. Hairstyles being more crazy than ever with the half up half down bun and luscious curls its a summer to look back on. On my recent research I came across world of fashion inspiration at our very lovely store +Zara Home. Even though we can browse the web and greatly find the perfect summer look, its often nice to wonder in the stylish shop of Zara, which is in almost every county. Zara has probably the biggest range of styles, it goes from casual denim to flourishing elegant skirts. Its suits every person, that is with every styles and trend. Clothes here are at a reasonable price but have great quality alongside shoes and heavenly fragrances (which is the cherry on top).

So to get you all started on your summer vibe here is a few sassy links to the newest trends which will refresh your closet into a summer air of love. I'm going to pick two looks for today from Zara, the first a dressy look following a casual chic look. Remember if you have an question on an outfit or need help picking it out just P.M me on my HaylsKouture Facebook page.

These two pattern light pastel pieces are a most have, I couldnt choose between both but as they are both for dressy wear and are the exact same price of 49.95 I thought you could have a sneaky choose. Perfect for a night out, dressy occasion or even a summer evenings BBQ. I would personally wear the outfits with natural makeup, small heels or sandles and a cute nude clutch bag!

  

Ok so how chic is this outfit? The pants costing to 49.00 are an all time great bargain, you could wear them with literally anything because they fit into the sector of any dress code. They give you a great shape which is a golden plus to your closet. The lace floral jacket is so cute, it could be dressed with a light dress or even the above pants. Its an all time fashion statement, so go on get your red lipstick out and flaunt the summer vibe.

Next week I will pick two more outfits from Zara - so if you want to shop online or look through more: http://www.zara.com/ie/en/new-in

A Womans Right To Shoes

Finding the perfect pair of shoes is a tricky obstacle in ones life- its either too hard to match with an outfit or too expensive but beautiful. For me the all time love of fashion is the Valentino heels, they come in so many colours but all in a similar style which reflect their elegant tone. Although their quite expensive, if you really want a pair save up, maybe put by money a week to finally purchase it at the end. (It wont feel like you spent a whole bundle all in one go). Recently on my blog I posted about the imitations and how they were once in Dunnes, sadly I could not get them as there was none left in a size 3. In this small piece, I just want to show you all the different style icons and colours of the famous Valentino, So sit back relax and enjoy the endless timeline of perfect shoes for the perfect feet.
P.S maybe one day we can all buy a pair of two. Goodnight - X

Cocktails, Cameras & Bloggers.

In a world full of glamour and celebrity style, we all wish we could be part of it. Well why not?You can always glam yourself up in your best clothes alongside shoes, get your gal pals out and hit the town for a few cosmos and feel like your on top of the world of showbiz. Well for me to be quite honest I felt like a superstar strutting the fabulous red carpet last Friday night at Galway's retro Skeff Bar. If you have not witnessed the energetic modern feel of the bar, you have to go! In the heart of lovely Galway, it caters for a quiet night in with friends, a romantic date or even a party you wish to throw. Well for myself and the rest of the "Into The West Blogger Team", we attended something more different; a fabulous cocktail launch accompanied by Suzanne Jackson. Filled with cocktails, girls in heels and the atmosphere was one that would put a smile ones face. I was lucky to be invited by the Into The West Blogging Network alongside my two good friends, who are also bloggers. When we arrived at the Skeff we were greeted with long island ice teas, warm welcomes from new bloggers and not to mention glorious food. So as the night moved on (as they say time flies when your having fun), we were then accompained by the beautiful +Suzanne Jackson. Looking fab as always, she gave us all a small talk on blogging followed by making her signature cocktail - So Sip me. The overall night was one to remember, and The Skeff bar is an excellent spot, with friendly staff & amazing cocktails (of course at affordable prices). I truly cannot wait to attend the rest of The Into The West Blogger events, and Im honestly flattered to be apart of their welcoming group, especially after getting my big news on becoming Topshops new promotor; its safe to say my blogging pathway is taking an exciting road!!

So the next time your in Galway pop in to the beautiful Skeff bar, try a cocktail & follow them on Instagram, facebook or twitter for updates and upcoming events!! XOXO
