But baby it's cold outside....



I know it's so early in the year to be even thinking about your winter coat, well not in Ireland because the weather has been terrible!! :) It's a curse of doing a fashion buying course, we have been working on A/W 09 for the last month and it's all I am shopping for, too early for black though me thinks so I am trying to fight it! Anyhu, I just came across this beaut on netaporter.com, it's a beautiful virgin wool and cashmere mix coat from Sonia by Sonia Rykiel. Beautiful military style, it reminds me of the Alexander McQueen one I was dying for last Autumn/Winter! I think military it just going to be a style of coat we see every winter, I am starting to tire of it a little I have to admit, but I do love the flash of colour at the wrist to freshen it up! And I have a beautiful pair of Blumarine leather gloves that I got in New York in January that are that exact shade! Yay! :)

Cute...



You may remember I blogged about Judith Leiber and her super expensive Swarovski crystal bags! Well two more super cute ones have been added to netaporter.com and definitely do not disappoint in the pricey category!! I love the Jag clutch as I love anything feline, I love the shapes on the bag and the mesmerising green eyes! Even if you don't agree with the price, you have to admit the workmanship in these are pretty amazing!



But OH-MY-God!! Fans of sex and the City will instantly recognise this as the bag Lily puts Carrie's phone into on the big day, or something pretty identical to it!! I heart the colours in this, so pretty and girly, how cute!! If I was super crazy rich, I would definitely have this bag strapped across my body as I am typing this :)

Festival Fashion


Yep it's that time of year again, Oxegen is upon us! So in the name of all that is festival I threw together two looks on Polyvore for the weekend!! But seeing as Oxegen takes place under Irish weather, a rain jacket is ESSENTIAL!! Penney's/Primark have a great one which is perfect and cheap as chips!! Alexa Chung to me has great festival style, check out some of her pics here I would love to be able to look so effortless, having to pack and organise outfits in advance generally panics me as I feel like I'm trying to hard, it's being forced! I lose my ability to effortlessly throw outfits together in a I just picked this up off the bedroom floor kinda way! love this girls look here, this will probably be the look I will be going for one of the days this weekend!Just incase it rains, how cute!! :)xx

Arnotts Project


Yesterday I got my first chance to pop in and visit Arnotts Project(I know, nearly 6 weeks since it opened but I'm rarely that side of town!). I have to admit I thought it would be a crap alternative to BT2, and Arnotts own Impulse section but I have to admit THAT beauty hall blew me away!! Anywhere that stocks Benefit (which seems to be popping up everywhere these days, was delighted to see a new one in Dublin Airport!) is a fave place of mine, I just can't get enough of their stuff! It's cool and funky and I loved their homewares section but it was so quiet yesterday!! I hate walking into a shop and seeing staff slumped over a counter! It also has a Buffalo concession, a shoe label I heart!! It's a pretty cool shop, which has quite a boutique feel to it! Has some great labels if you like something different! Check it out if you're around, I need to return for a better look!!

As many of you will have noticed, I changed my address to sequinsandbangles.blogspot.com! I just thought it was more me, I hadn't been feeling zoeswardrobe for a while too blah!! Anyways hope you's like the new name!
