Weekend Inspiration...... BLACK!

Hey Ladies

Since tomorrow is the start of the weekend (YES!)

 I thought for a few weeks I would do a small series every Thursday! Called Weekend Inspiration. Each week I will choose a colour as my inspiration and use some images of outfits, accessories and makeup ideas to help you for your weekend!

So this week it is BLACK!

A staple for any womens wardrobe, as it goes with everything! Also knowing use ladies there is always that LBD in the back of the wardrobe wanting to get out!

Black is such an easy colour to dress up and dress down and goes with EVERYTHING and any colour! Which is great! I tend to have alot of black basics and then add colour in other ways.

If you are wearing a bright dress and want something to tone it down, go BLACK! It does not have to look gothic, but can look vintage and old or modern. You can go simple or as crazy as you want.

Every girl in there wardrobe has a pair of their most reliable and comfy heels and 9/10 times they are black.

They are the most go to colour as you know it will always go.

Lastly the makeup.

The traditional and original smokey eye colour. Perfect when you want to stand out. Paired with a nude lip, its the perfect Black makeup look.

Galway Races-Ladies Day Guide

Hello there Ladies!

Are you off to the Galway races or to any races? Is there a Ladies Day even taken places and looking for inspiration?

Well I have been looking on Pintrest! (much loved these days) And have been awwwing over some dresses and fashions I really like! 

Unfortunately, I cannot attend Galway Races these year (SIGH!!)But for you lucky ladies heading off heres my guide to (maybe) winning the Ladies Day Prize!

"LOOK FOR THAT OUTFIT"

Whether its a dress, a suit piece or a jumpsuit, look for that eye catching outfit that you feel will catch that judge and every other ladies eye. Whether you spent €10 or €500 make sure it is in your budget and hey what are accessories for!!

Vintage is one that pops up year after year and everyone has there favourite era, icon or style, which they modernize to their own shape and style. 

Whether you go for full on ballet 1940s/1950s dress or a vintage lace dress is up to you!

Colour Blocking has become a huge thing this summer and wheather you go for a neon pink and white or a yellow and blue, it can be fun and look amazing too....

Patterns are a timless classic, as the vintage. There is so much choice, from flowers, to tribal, to stripes or to poka dots. You can choice any one. Patterns can make that outfit stand out and be fun at the same time.

"THE HAT"

Facinators or the hat is another huge part of the Ladies Day event. People will go far and wide to a milliner to find that quirky, elegant and fun facinator or hat, that will make them stand out!

You will want to tie in your facinator with your dress so if you have a neutral dress or lain dress but is textured, try a fun design or someting quirky, or if you have a loud dress or want your outfit to do the talking, tone it back with a neutral/simple facinator/hat. 

Depending on what you want is up to you.....

"ACCESSORIZE!"

A lady has always to accesorise and it really makes that outfit POP and have intrest. 

Again depending on THAT DRESS or how MAD the facinator is, is how you should choose your accessories. Weather its a statement necklace, a statement or simple clutch, black or nude shoes, lace or leather gloves or umbrella or sunnies (not just convenient for the weather)...

"GLAMOUR ME UP!"

Its not all finished when you get the whole outfit, you need to get your hair done and makeup done to finish your look. I suggest treating your self and seeing a hairdresser and makeup artist.

If you are going simple or funky try a smokey eye in browns/greys if simple or incorporating the funky colours into a fun smokey eye and a nude lip. But if its era based like 1950s, a winged liner and red lip is essential. 

Hair can also be soft, elegant, romantic curls down or in an upstyle or a quirky era do!

Anything is possible to create that inspired and winning look.!
