Pearl Maria's Christening - 03-08-2014

Hey guys, 

So this Bank Holiday Weekend me and my family hiked up to Cork to see the new addition to our family be christened. 

It was such an exciting day as we haven't had a little baby in the family for 11 years! 

The day was such a great one and the whole family was in such a great mood. Pearl was such a little cutie and she couldn't have looked anymore beautiful. 

Family events mean so much to me as it's always such good fun when we get together and the christening was no exception. 

Congrats to my Uncle and Aunt for having such a precious little girl.

For my outfit I didn't want anything to out there. Just something a little classy. I was in River Island when I spotted the perfect dress. 

Dress - River Island

Shoes - New Look

Once I saw this dress I knew it had to be mine so there was no stopping me from going to the counter to purchase it. 

The day was filled with lots of food and plenty of laughs and I hope the rest of my family enjoyed it just as much as me. 

Heres a few more snaps from the day

Trip to Dublin Zoo.

Hey Guys,  

If you follow me on Twitter you know that I wasn't posting last week as I was away. I was in Dublin as I decided doing a makeup course at The International Makeup Academy was the right thing for me to do. (I may do a review of my experience if people want to hear about it?)

While being up there I had two free days and myself and my family decided on the last we would take a trip to the zoo. 

Now I don't know if it's just me but for some reason the zoo seems so much more exciting when you're that bit older. Don't get me wrong it's just as exciting when your a kid but being a big child at heart, I couldn't have been more excited to go. 

In Ireland we don't tend to have great weather during the summer but during the last few weeks we have been enjoying a bit of a heatwave. On Friday the heat was so strong in the zoo that most animals were in the shade keeping cool so it was pretty hard to see a lot of them. 

Saying this I thought I'd share with you a few of the animals we were lucky enough to catch a look at. 

*Be warned the next half is very picture heavy* 

Near the end of the day there was a lot more animals but I was seriously melting from the heat that it just got to hard to keep up and take pictures. All I could think about doing was sitting in a bag of ice! 

If you like these kind of lifestyle blogs let me know and I'll try do some more.

OOTD - Zoe's Confirmation

It's been a rather busy week in the Rochford household, first a graduation then a confirmation. Busy, busy, busy!

(excuse the terrible lighting in the last picture, I was being rushed out the door when these were taken.)

Dress: I bought my dress in a small little shop in town called ViVi but sadly the shop is no longer there. It was €30. As soon as I tried it on I knew I had to have it!

Shoes: My shoes were bought in Pennys (Primark to most) and were €18. These were the comfiest shoes as they were a wedge and I felt they gave the dress a summery look. 

Bag: I've had this bag for awhile and I didn't want to go buy a new one so this little one was handy. I bought it in Pennys and was €9. 

The day was absolutely brilliant and I'm sure my sister couldn't have asked for a better day! 

My cousin has taken some pictures and when I get hold of some I'll add them to this post.

OOTD - Sara's Graduation

Yesterday my Twin sister graduated from a childcare course she has being doing all year so me and my family went up to see her. We were all so proud. (Go twin!)

I didn't really know how fancy/casual it was going to be as it was only small so I decided to go for a mint and cream striped dress.

The dress and bag are both from Primark. The bag was €13 and I can't really remember the price of the dress but I think it was around €17. I decided I would keep my make up rather subtle and just did a brown smokey eye. Nothing to hectic. Then I just painted my nails a mint colour using a brand called W7. I'm not sure where you can get this brand as they sold it in a shop that's no longer open in my town.

We had such a lovely day and went for dinner in a restaurant called Luigi Malones in Tembar, Dublin. The food was so nice and the staff were so friendly. I would highly recommend this place! After this, we headed to the college Sara was in and watched her graduate. 

It was such a lovely day and hope to have another one like it soon.
