Robbie Williams 'Farrell' For Penneys/Primark

This week saw the release of Robbie Williams debut collection for Primark - 'Farrell'

Inspired by his late grandfather Jack Farrell, a smartly dressed man from Stoke-On-Trent who taught him everything he knows.

 The collection ranges from 10 euro to 50 euro! Unreal value for your money! And any stylish lad knows that 22 euro for a pair of jeans, is pretty damn good!And wait until you see the shoes!

I have never seen so many men in one section of Penneys before in my life!

 So let's see what all the hype is about then shall we?

Dunno why this picture came out so shite, I promise you its way better in real life!

Everyone seems to be grabbing these while they can!

Everything in this collection is seemless, right down to the tiny emblum on the teeshirts to the silk lining in the jackets. Every lad should own at least soemthing from this collection!

The tweed jackets and shoes would make unreal Christmas presents also! 

So why not pop into Penneys / Primark and look dapper for Christmas!

Nails by Mantra

Good evening everyone! I hope everyone is having a brilliant time at Electric Picnic, and if you couldnt go, like me, have a good aul cry into your cup of tea, sit down and watch the highlights!

Now, shockingly enough, I have never had my nails done, ever! So I decided that today is going to be the day. I recently heard about a brand new beauty salon in the Tallaght area. So I popped down to have a look! And when I did, I was super pleased! Here is their amazing price list!

I was greeted by Diana, the super gorgeous,bubbly,talkative and proud owner of Mantra.

Diana has been working in the beauty industry for many years and offers a pretty,girly and comfortable beauty salon that will most definitely 'bring out your inner diva'

I opted for a classic 'french' gel nail set and I couldn't be any happier with the results.

Look at that perfect finish!

The session lasted around an hour and Diana and I chatted for the whole time! She makes your visit so comfortable. And the service she offers is flawless.

(I'm sorry about the picture quality, my camera isn't working well)

 These nails should last me around 2 weeks and are honestly perfect.

I will most definitely be taking a trip back very soon to check out the other amazing services Mantra has to offer.

You can find Mantra on Facebook here!

Mantra is located in the Brookfield enterprise centre, Tallaght, Dublin 24

Simply Be curvy 2015 & Liebster award!

My god this week has been SO busy for me! And I'm very sorry I haven't been blogging as much as I should have but I have a few handy posts in store for ya'll!

FIRSTLY Id like to thank Elena Villa for nominating me for the Liebster award! it absolutely made my day! I would answer some questions but I just got nominated for another award and answered a bunch of questions on my previous blog post! :) Go and visit her super awesome blog here! Thank you again lovely!

Also! i got a bit of a surprise this week! I entered myself in the SimpleBe 2015 model search campaign after applying for VPlus models (And disgracefully hearing nothing back) I decided to take the plunge..What have I got to loose right? Well I applied for SimplyBe about 2 months ago, and COMPLETELY forgot i done so, it totally slipped my mind. As I opened my Gmail and seen a mail from SimplyBe, I knew straight away it was a message to decline my application. Not even 1% of me thought that I would be accepted! As I began  to read the email I then hit this bomb!

''This  year  Simply Be Curvy 2015 has received thousands of entries from allacross  the  country.   We  have managed to whittle it down to 300 girls toattend the heats and congratulations, you are one of them!We are delighted to invite you to attend the next stage of the competition,on  Saturday  30th  August  or  Sunday  31st August at 9.30am in The GibsonHotel, Dublin.''

AHEM. ESQUEEZE ME..BAKING POWDER?!?! Whaaaat!

Now to tone up that belly and lay off the crap food!
