I'm Crossing You In Style Some Day

Greetings from Queens, New York! I'm currently sitting in our Airbnb writing this with a view of the Manhattan skyline. I can't even begin to describe what an experience this trip has been so far so I'll wait until we get home to go through the hundreds of photos I've taken and write about it properly then. For now I wanted to share some photos we took in Brooklyn at the weekend. 

Shirt- Uniqlo
Trousers- Uniqlo
Shoes- Adidas via Schuh
Scarf- ASOS (similar here and here)
Earrings- c/o Lulu and Belle
Sunglasses- ASOS (similar here)
Lipstick- No7 Brick Red

We walked the Brooklyn bridge from Manhattan and after lunch, visited DUMBO and I figured it was too picturesque to not make the most of it and take some outfit photos. It was almost 30 degrees that day and luckily on our first day here we went to Uniqlo (which is amazing and I wish we had it in Ireland) and I picked up a couple of things that were a bit more weather appropriate. I got this cotton and linen mix shirt and the wide leg pleated pants that look more like a maxi skirt. It was a great outfit for walking around in because we forgot sunscreen so I was covered up without feeling too hot. I've been living in these Adidas Stan Smiths since I got them on sale after Christmas. They're so comfortable and they go with everything so I've been wearing them all over New York.

My earrings were another gift from Irish jewellery brand Lulu and Belle who you may remember from this post back in February. Every other pair of earrings I wear irritates my ears except for the ones I have from Lulu and Belle so I've been wearing them lots over the past few months. I love how delicate they are and you can actually wear them the other way around too. You can find them on Etsy and Not on the High Street as well as on Facebook and Instagram. There's lots of gorgeous personalised items too if you're looking for a gift.

Schuh Spring/Summer 2014

Last weekend I attended the Schuh SS'14 Press Day to take a look at what they have on offer for the coming season. 

The first thing I noticed when I walked into the room was the amount of beautiful colour, print and texture and some incredible statement heels. Nude, yellow, coral, pink and cobalt blue seemed to be the biggest colours. 

There was also a lot of metallic going on with chains, zip details, gold hardware and buckles.  It was great to see a heel height for everyone as I tend to stay well away from very high shoes, although I can appreciate how gorgeous they are at 5'9" I'm already tall enough and my feet plus high heels do not go well together. 

There were some beautiful lower court shoes as well as a lot of block heels, including an incredible pair with a lucite heel which I absolutely loved. 

There were some amazing flats and sandals too including printed canvas shoes from Bucketfeet, metallic brogues from Red or Dead, black and white Schuh own brand sandals and the old reliable tan which is my go to colour for summer sandals. 

I had my nails done with NCLA nail wraps in this amazing print by the lovely Pamela Laird. Thanks so much to Dom and Lucy from Schuh for a lovely afternoon, it was so much fun. I'm excited to take off my winter boots and get shopping for sandals. Although not yet because it's still freezing! 

What was you favourite pair?
