OOTD | Monochrome Madness

Hello everyone, Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while I've been crazy busy, but I'm getting back to it now, I have an OOTD for you today, some light Sunday reading for you ,Hope you enjoy it.

 Gilet: Thrift Shop

Shirt: Primark

Jeans: Quiz

Shoes: New Look

Bag: Primark

Lipstick; Rita Ora for Rimmel in Rumour has it

Foundation: W7 Captain Matte in Rich Tan

Eyebrows: Benefit Gimme Brow in Medium

Mascara: YSL False Lash Effect

I've also recently Baleaged/Ombred my hair, so its a bit lighter for summer. I get bored of my hair very easily and being honest i miss the blonde so much, I would dye it back but its just the maintenance of keeping it.

I will be doing separate posts on my Mascara and Foundation from the photo above, which will be coming very soon. 

Talk to you soon :)

Style Crush Sunday | Danielle Bernstein

If you want to learn anything about me, know that Danielle Bernstein is my Spirit Animal, I go by a daily motto 'WWDD?' -What Would Danielle Do?

I especially use this while shopping and try to buy stuff that she would wear or close to what she has worn in her blog posts.
Before I started blogging she was the first blogger I looked up to and thought that would be so much fun to do.

Her style is something I try to adapt to my personal style although I don't have the weather here in Ireland.

If you don't know who Danielle is, She is the Founder and Blogger behind WeWoreWhat and a student of F.I.T. She has also appeared on Project Runway - All Stars as a guest judge and just announced a Collab with Topshop that I'm super excited about.

I don't think she has ever worn an outfit that I haven't liked, her style is amazingly simple but like she just stepped off a runway at the same time. She takes pieces of clothing that are hard to wear and makes them look effortless.

 She has defiantly given me confidence to wear the clothes that I want to wear when I want to wear them, and that you certainly don't need an event to express yourself -  Style Wise anyway.

I use her (among others) as a daily inspiration and where she is in life is something I want to achieve, and the fact that shes friends with Eleanor Calder makes her Perfect in my eyes, as they have very similar styles.

What are your Thoughts of Ms. Bernstein ? Who are your favourite Fashion Bloggers?

OOTD | Blanc & Noir

Coat : Savida

Shirt : Penny's

Shoes : Penny's

Jeans : Quiz 

Yay for more Ootd's this year!!

 I am a major lover of Monochrome. My whole wardrobe is basically black and white,(well mostly black) its just so pretty and works with everything.

 I think this is one of my favourite outfits. 

I am in love with this shirt its one piece that looks like two (isn't that amazing) so you basically look like you put a lot of effort in and you really haven't. (lol)

Also these shoes are so comfy, I brought them on Holidays and wore them nearly everyday. Obsessed with pointed toe shoes.

Be sure to follow me on Instagram :Sarahloukane for daily updates of Ootd's and other things :)

Bog Standard

I was at a fashion show last year in which they gave away gift bags to everyone that attended, in the gift bags was a sample of some Bog Standard Products, at the time I had never heard of the company.

After trying the samples for a while and I fell in love, the sample I got was 'Irish Field' as it was called at the time, its now called 'Field', it smells like a field after its rained and I love everything about it.

I have since repurchased the candle maybe 3-4 times, while buying the candle again I came across Soap and an Air Freshener, which I put in my wardrobe to make my clothes smell nice.

Isn't the new packaging just beautiful I almost didn't want to open it.

 Im all for supporting Irish businesses as well so this is perfect, its also a really cost effective brand and honestly I don't know what I did before I found it.

I'd recommend this scent for spring.

Have you ever heard of or tried this brand before? Let me know what your favourite is.

Visit their online store : www.bogstandard.ie/ and do tell me what you buy!

Red Carpet Fever - Golden Globes 2015

If you know me well, you know I live for Awards Season and My favourite event is the Golden Globes.
Its the first major event of the Season and It sets the par. Fashion-wise anyway.

I was really impressed with the style this year, so I would like to share some of my favourite looks with you.

I really liked the neutral palette of these 3 dresses.

Chrissy Teigen looks phenomenal in this colour, It really complements her skin-tone and Zuhair Murad really knows how to dress a woman, the silhouette is beautiful. 

Where do I start with Kate Beckinsale, I have an unhealthy obsession with her, I love the fluidity of this dress, Its not too out there but not too subdued either.

Louise Roe looks amazing all the time but this Grecian look looks so good on her, the dress creates a nice shape on her and I love her hair like this.  

These 3 dresses were one's I'm not sure on but I really like at the same time.

Dakota Johnson, I really like the fit, colour and shape but not keen on the sequins and sparkle, I also really like her hair.

.

Taylor Schilling, The colour suits her, I just think she could have worn something form fitting and it would have been a show stopper.

Reese Witherspoon looks like a Oscar, love the dress but I think it would have looked better on someone else, it sort of washes her out, She needs a brighter colour.

My Favourite Look of the Night is Jenna Dewan Tatum. Her Hair, Her Dress, Her Arm Candy.

I don't known where to begin. 

The dress is so flattering on her and the red clutch bag is such a brilliant addition of colour, Her make- up is so natural, It makes the whole outfit look so effortless. 

Let me know what was your favourite and what you hated!

Mani Monday

Happy Monday Everyone, I hope your having a good day, Im currently writing this on Sunday evening as Im moving house tomorrow, Well today since you will be reading this on Monday or after.

Since its still sorta Christmasy I decided to go with a glittery theme, These are acrylic nails as my own are in pieces from work.

 I really like these nails, there so pretty and they go with everything and look great on a night out. I bought these in a pharmacy in town, at a really good price at €6.50. I find these nails so handy, and time effective. I hate waiting for my nails to dry so these are perfect.

They aren't like any other false nails I've used before, they're very secure and feel real, Which is great for everyday things such as washing your hair to getting dressed. Ive always found with other false nails catch on everything but these seem very good.

I've always been against false nails but starting to change my mind, What are your thoughts on false nails Yay or Nay?

XOXO Sarah

Happy Christmas 2014

Hello There, Happy Christmas I hope you are currently sitting somewhere reading this stuffing your face and enjoying some well needed time off work.

I was looking at some photo's and realized I never posted my outfit from my staff night out.

Dress: Three Floor

Shoes: Public Desire

Bag: Michael Kors

Coat :She Inside

Unfortunately this is the only photo I was able to take cause it was far too good of a night, We went out to a restaurant in town called The Manhattan, Drank way too many cocktails and Danced most of the night.

In other Blog related news, I'm going to start posting a lot more regularly, things like Ootd, Reviews, Products I've Used Up, and anything else you would like me to do leave any requests or idea's in the comments.

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and an Amazing New Year, Here's to 2015!!!!

Sarah XOXO

Hakuna Ma'Vodka

I think the words above perfectly depict the night. Hello Everyone, It was my Baby Sister Rachel's 18th Birthday ( I still can't believe she's 18) so I thought I'd share some photo's from the past two weekends, as it was her actual birthday on the 2nd but she didn't have her party until the 8th.

Oh and by the way I have dyed my hair back brown.(Yay for not damaging my hair )

A little Blurry wooops

As you can see the photo's aren't the best quality as everyone was well on at this point.( Again see photo at the very top)  I got my dress from a website called IClothing, An Irish website to which I wasn't aware of until a fellow Irish Blogger wore a dress during NYFW and the second I seen it I needed it in my life. It's probably the most flattering dress I've ever worn and Im gonna wear it to my Christmas party at work, YES I love it that much. It also come in Black and Red if you want to check them out. Perfect Party Dress

Mine is the Navy one as I always go for Black but I am going to purchase it in Red also. It's so pretty, it's high necked and comes down in a triangle at the back of my neck, Its fitted but not in a tight way and then curves asymmetrically at the bottom with the white pleats going the whole way around the dress. I would really recommend this for a special occasion like a wedding or a party and its a steal at €40.  

I don't have any other suitable photo's of the night so Im just going to leave it there.

Happy Birthday Rachel xxx

Talk Again Soon 

Love From Sarah
