Saturday Night (college reunion)

Happy Monday!
Really is a beautiful day in Dublin city I hope you all get to enjoy it.

I've only just recovered from a mental Saturday night with all my old college friends as this September marks out 10year anniversary.
I was working till 7pm on Saturday evening so was in a rush to change in work and make myself look half decent!

Denim shirt: H&M
Black leather skirt: All Saints
Hologram court shoes:Penny's 

I was rushing to go meet some work colleagues first as it was my managers leaving party so wanted to go have a fair well drink with her.
Then I met with my friend Audrey from college and we headed to Morgan for a cocktail (watermelon punch- amazing)
Venue for the reunion was Grafton Lounge and must say the DJ on the night was just great! The music selection was a mix of old to new so we danced to 50cent "Go Shorty it's your birthday" etc so we all had a ball dancing away!

Still very tired myself and spent most of yesterday relaxing until I had to get up and collect my boyfriend from the train station as he was away at a stags. We ordered domino's for dinner too!

Back to the grind now and let's all hope it's a fast and productive week for us all.

September Shopping

I'm back this evening with my latest purchases from over the last two weeks.I've been hitting up H&M, Zara, Pennys, Stradivarius and Bershka. I must say H&M is my favourite this month with all the knitwear winter coats and cool jeans. So it is save so say they got most of my pay slip!

Hat: Stradivarius €17.95
Grey Chunky Knit Jumper: Pennys €10.00
Faux Fur Waistcoat: Stradivarius €39.95

I put these together thinking I can wear this as an outfit when I get to Toronto in November (I'll have worn it by then of course, but I like to think I can keep it for my holidays) I'll probably wear this outfit with black skinny jeans and I have dark chocolate chelsea style leather boots. Keeping in mind of walking the streets (shopping) in Canada.

Parka Coat: Pennys €30.00

I was on the look out for a Parka coat as I love this casual style but had thought this style of coat will not suit me at all. So when I seen this in Pennys and for only €30.00 I nabbed it fast. This will be my in-between Autumn/Winter Coat as its warm enough to wear now until the cold creeps back in on us.

H&M: €19.99

H&M: €39.99

H&M: €29.99

I would be a regular UK size 8 in most things but for this pink knit jumper I bought large because I wanted it to be a slouchy jumper on me and it makes it more comfy to wear. The spotty jeans are just the cutest and they are a girlfriend fit which I just love. The oversized Warsaw Vienna jumper is a mint colour and again I got it for comfort and so easy to wear with skinny jeans and converse or if you are kinda quirky like myself I would wear this with a kick out skirt and some shoe boots for a night out.

Pennys: €17.00

Pennys: €15.00

Bershka: €19.99

Zara: 49.95

The blue knit jumper with flowers from Pennys I fell in love with. I want to wear this with my distressed boyfriend jeans and my white leather converse trainers as I think it will look great as a outfit for yes more shopping! The denim swing dress I have it in mind to wear tomorrow night as I'm meeting up with all my old friends from college as it is our ten year anniversary! The casual grey top from Bershka my sister actually bought and gave to me but I love the caption "You can't wait forever. Do something. Make it happen." And last on my shop was these black ankle boots from Zara with a gold zip detail on the front. I know I'll be able to wear these right through the Autumn/Winter season and they will match with so much in my wardrobe.

Hope you liked my shop as much as I did.

Start Up

30!

Hello Blogging world I've finally given in and said I'll give it a bash!
I'm Kym Smyth, from Dublin Ireland and have just turned 30!
Most bloggers that I know and see about Dublin are in their 20's so since hitting the big number I've decided to start my own 30's+ blog :)
This is the first picture of myself as I was about to leave my house and go to my birthday party I held in Lillies Bordello.

Dress: Starla €120
Shoes: Carvella €165
Cuff: Pennys €4

I kept my outfit simple as I wanted to look back at photos and not cringe about what I wore! But strangely I chose a coral dress! I'm always in black! Drab I know but I just love it! Can never get enough! My sister Louise also forced me into wearing the tightest dress of my life stating I won't be slim for long! Cheeky I know but also probably true. I do like wearing baggy clothes most of the time as that way I don't need to worry what shape I am underneath! Make up was all MAC and my cousin who is a MAC make up artist came to work her magic on myself sister and mother that evening.

I have just booked a trip to Toronto Canada to see my best friend Sarah and this means I will be compiling a full suitcase of outfits that I will post week by week. Its now a 45 day countdown to my holiday so thankfully I have time to prep as it shall be cold then!

If you have any questions or comments please hit me up with them as I would love to know.

Here are some other photos from my 30th for now and I shall be back soon with some outfit choices for Autumn.

Until then,

Kym Smyth XOXO
