OOTN!






I went out for dinner this evening for my Mum's birthday. I wore this jumper type dress that I got in swamp last week. I teamed it up with black tights and my black wedge heels. I love how casual this dress is, perfect for daytime and night.









I also brought this cute orange satchel bag that I bought in penneys for 11 euro last week. I know I just got a Michael Kors bag for Christmas and have already bought a new one. Fear not, Michael is always going to remain number one haha!! I thought it might have been a bit too big to bring out on this particular occasion. I hope you liked my outfit...Chat soon, Rachel <3 xx

Haul! :-)

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. I have just been so busy. I am back on placement and have so much college work on top off that so I feel like I never get any time. I went shopping last Saturday though and here are some of the bits I bought! :-)
Penneys 1 euro. I thought these were really cool..1 euro bargain!!


Penneys 16 euro.
This cute cropped jumper was 11 euro in penneys.
Penneys 6 euro.

This was down from 11 euro to only 3 euro in Pennys..it would have been a shame not to buy it!!
I picked this up in Zara..It was down from 16.95 to 5.95.

I got this dress in swamp for 30 euro. It's perfect for daytime wear!
This was down from 39.98 to 9.98!
There was a sale on in Elverys and these only ended up being 15 euro. I love how colourful they are.

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I bought. Chat soon..Rachel x

Hello 2014

Meant to post yesterday but I totally forgot. Great start to 2014 there haha! I have no major resolutions for 2014. I just want to try and start thinking more positively. I'm going to try really hard. I also want to just keep working hard on this blog and in college. And of course there's the obvious things like be healthier and drink more water. Basically, in 2014, I just want to try and be happier. Not to worry about other people or let anyone bring me down.










I am going to try and make outfit of the day posts one of the main features of my blog this year as well. Lets see how that goes haha. Anyways, chat soon...Rachel x

2013 round up!


Well this is my 2013 round up. The year has flew!! Had some tough moments throughout 2013 but also had some great moments to make up for that! I'll start off by showing you me meeting soap stars. First Brax from home and away, then Heath. Then me meeting David Wicks who plays Joey Branning in Eastenders.









I can't forget the amazing one direction concert in March...






Finishing school..have to say I was ready for this. Yeah I had some great times in school, but my final year wasn't that enjoyable...between the stress of the leaving cert and drama with people with I thought were friends.





Above is me and my bestie Kelly just after we finished school. We wouldn't have gotten through that final year without each other.



Finishing the Leaving Cert

After all the hype surrounding it and the stress of it all, I was finally finished them. I had gotten through it! I was free haha! I knew that I had done my best and that's all I could have done. I had done loads of study and done my best in my exams so I was just hoping that it had paid off.


Turning 18




As well as turning 18 in June, I also decided to set up my blog. After ages of reading blogs, I decided to take the plunge. I can't believe I set it up 6 months ago. Yes it still feels like I'm talking to myself sometimes but I'm enjoying blogging. I'm going to stick with it. Hard work pays off eventually (here's hoping haha). A look back at some of my outfit posts...I'm going to try to make these better next year and feature them more on the blog. 





Some Summer memories...


Galway Races










My debs(prom)....what a great day!!









Rihanna concert...







Getting the leaving cert results... I worked so hard throughout the LC year to get the points for nursing. When I got my results, I was delighted with how well I done but I felt really disappointed as I didn't think I had enough. The morning of the cao offers, I got up at half 5. I looked on twitter and saw that someone had leaked the cao results. Shaking, I tried to find the course I wanted as quick as I could. I saw that it was the amount of points that I got..but it had the * sign beside it, which meant that all students with these amount of points weren't all offered a place and random selection occurred. It was getting closer to 6 o' clock and I was so nervous. I was literally praying that I would get the course that I wanted. I clicked in at 6 o'clock..no offers for the course I wanted...general nursing. I was offered the next best thing but I really wanted the general nursing. 2nd round offers came a week later...still no offer!! It was so disheartening because I worked so hard and got the required amount of points. I accepted the course that I got offered, which was in the same college. The day before I moved I got a phone call from the college...the woman on the phone to me said ''I'm going to ask you something that requires a yes or no answer...do you want a place in general nursing?'' Yes I shrieked!!! Finally got what I wanted..all the hard work seemed worth it!




Results night!

CAO offers...

I took this screenshot 1 min before the cao opened!!

The day came to move away from home for college. Not going to lie, this was much harder than I thought it would be. 


And the college fun begins...






Phew that was a long post haha. I hope you enjoyed looking at my year through pics. I hope 2014 will be a great one. I want to wish everyone best wishes in 2014... Xxx
