Soiree for a mate

Sorry for my absence in the past week but trying to organise my time has proven harder that I thought. Well actually I'm just extremely lazy and spend all my time in bed thinking of better ways I could be spending my time (I know I suck ^^^^). Anyway on a side note, it was recently one of my good friends 18th birthdays.

To be honest there isn't a lot to be said about the night, full of crap music and bad decisions. It was nice to catch up though, with close friends and those who you would never imagine talking to sober. My outfit for the soiree was minimal (but when is it not) with a gorgeous deep purple necklace to give it an added pow. I chose to wear something casual which I could throw on for a shopping date yet something dressy enough to show I made some sort of effort.

I have found myself to be quite the advocate for Primark lately as its very college budget friendly but also the quality and choice seems to be getting better and better. So no surprise when I say that I bought all my outfit from Primark and on sale too. You wouldn't believe it but I actually bought all this outfit (including shoes) for €25.

I have been eyeing up these shoes for a good long time now and when I went for a wander through the sales I saw them there for €9... UNBELIEVABLE! I couldn't not get them in my defence.

This beloved necklace was in the sale too for only €3, which went perfect with the top if I do say so myself.

If only sales lasted forever *sad face emoji* nevertheless it was a brilliant night so shout out to my homedog for throwing such a flawless event and I wish him the best in being legal

With love,

Are you Mad Ferritt?

 

I recently attended a gig at my local nightclub, which was hosting a tribute band for Oasis "Mad Ferritt". Anyone who is a true Oasis fan will get this great name play but unfortunately I found there to be few to none girls my age who actually got this reference let alone actual fans of Oasis, *sigh* but nevertheless it was a great night. I suppose you could say it was a complete sausage fest (soz for vulgarity) however if you were looking for lust then look no further than a tribute band gig.

This for me was definitely a night "all about the music man" not just some excuse I used in the presence of a creepy drunken man! The band opened with "Lyla" and from that moment on it was complete fan girl mode. I wouldn't mind but I saw Noel Gallagher in the flesh still it just wasn't the same as a complete night dedicated to the classics. 

As it was a night consisting of unattractive dancing and screaming, I didn't dress up too much. I said id channel my inner 80's persona for a change. I know a decade early for Oasis but it could be considered early 90's style too right? Regardless, my hair was up and the flats were out and I meant business. I'm not really one for getting myself done up to the nines for a concert so heels were a definite no but unfortunately my height (5"4.5, the half is important) isn't exactly an advantage at these types of events so I said my creepers would work perfectly.

I paired the oh too common off the shoulder black dress, which I got from Primark for €3 (#Bargain) with a metal gold belt I got for my graduation ball. I think the belt really brought the outfit from a "yes I'm wearing all black" to a "hell yeah black is sassy" look in my opinion. Not to mention black and gold are my favourite colours.



Some might say the band was electric, I was feeling supersonic and the cigarettes and alcohol were flowing. (sorry had to be done).

Of course the band did the whole encore regime because, and quote "what kind of rock & roll band would we be if we didn't pretend to leave and come back". They ended with a crowd roaring rendition of champagne supernova which was slightly obvious yet still amazing.  

It was definitely one of the best nights out in a long time and definitely a recommendation to all who like Oasis.

New year, New Blog

 



 

 

This year, as more of a side project to keep my brain from melting with the boredom, I've decided to start a blog and when I say blog I mean me, rambling on about how much of an interesting and controversial life I have living in the small "city" of Waterford. Of Course I had to kick things off with an outfit post from my new years celebrations.

 

 

 

I was unfortunately fighting the Tequila cold (its a real thing) and didn't plan on going out but that wouldn't have made a good first post now would it! As any night on the town starts, I busted out my Sex and the City box set and did my make-up. The "squad" arrived shortly after and we all made our way into town. Due to the lack of selection in the Christmas sales, I was forced to wear the same outfit twice. *faints* I bought this lovely number from Primark and paired it with black tights and black platforms, from you guessed it, Primark.

 

 

 

The outfit was plain, with nothing really special to it, but maybe that's just because I'm basic at heart. But at the end of the day, or should  I say night, the most important thing was where we would buy pizza from. (At least my priorities are in order) All and all it was a great night and well a great opportunity for a first post.

 

So to all, I hope you have a lovely 2015 filled with plenty of wild nights and alcoholic beverages  because I know that's my aim anyway!!!

 

With Love,

S.M xo
