Has anyone any advice or recommendations for my weekend there?

In preparation for my weekend break, I have put together my weekend-break Lust Have List,

Look from Zara.com

Playsuit from Oasis & shoes from Zara

Pink Sandals from NastyGal and Bag from Bershka

Necklaces from NastyGal

Outfit from Zara

Bag from Boohoo and Sunglasses from Choies

I was pretty excited to be nominated as one of Ireland’s top stylists yesterday by RSVP Magazine so if you have a moment, please vote for me here. I nearly died when I saw my ultimate Irish fashion crush Angela Scanlon in the same list.

I hope your week has been filled with lots of wonderful happenings,

Love,

I have been having such a fun weekend so far and it’s only half way through… This weekend is all about spending time with friends and catching up on the good times.

Today I wore a dress that I got last summer on Asos with an old denim jacket and some new shoes from River Island which were on sale. Yippeeee!

Don’t forget about the fantastic competition I am in on Fashiolista with Choies..Vote for my style here please,

Have an amazing weekend lovelies,

Love,

Nessa

I have teamed up with Fashiolista and Choies for a super collaboration where one lucky Fashiolista member or Life’s Lust Haves reader can win a $500 shopping spree at Choies,

I was given the theme “Girly” (No surprise there!) for this blogger style competition and I chose this adorable, sweet floral dress which is available here,

I teamed it with my favourite white Zara blazer, my Zara purple sandals (love these purple lovelies too) and my Zara handbag. It’s a sweet summer girly look. Now all I need is some sunshine and lots of ice-cream.

To be in with a chance to win $500 shopping spree, simply vote for my look here,

If you are already have a Fashiolista profile, make sure to follow me here and spread some Lust. If you are not already obsessed with Fashiolista, then I would recommend you try it out. Fashiolista allows you to save your fashion Lust Haves on your personal profile. It’s addictive!

Get inspired by Fashion & Style on Fashiolista with Choies,

Let me know what you think everyone,

Love,

Nessa

I recently did a photoshoot with the amazing Magda of Magda Lukas who also did my engagement shoot. It’s for an exciting online project with Fashiolista that I will be letting you know about next week once it goes live. Are you on Fashiolista? It’s a great way of sharing Lust Haves!

I have been lusting after pretty, girly summer colours this week since I had the shoot,

I found some Lust Haves online:

All of these are from Sabo Skirt, a really fab Australian website

Topshop

Asos

I had a super night last night at The Girls Club Cork Fashion Show which is a fantastic charity providing excellent services for women affected by cancer and their loved ones in Cork. I took to the catwalk wearing clothes by Samantha Kennedy Designs, Amity Boutique, Verso & The Dress Bar & MG.

Hope you all had a really lovely weekend,

My lust for Instagram & Pinterest grows stronger everyday… If you are on either of these social networking sites, do join me!

Love,

Here are my winners and those that made me question their right to be at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala…..

1. The always and ever so lovely Cara in Burberry. Yum.

2. My little girl crush Nicole Richie wearing Topshop. I die.

3. I am such a sucker for gold and sparkle and Elizabeth Banks rocked this Atelier Versace tuxedo-esque number.

4. Mara has made me want to wear Givenchy for my wedding.

5. Anne Hathaway is a HOT punk! It’s more her hair than her Valentino dress but worn together she gets my vote.

6. I also love love love Diane Kruger in Chanel…minus the pink ponytail she had.

This year’s theme was Punk which had so much potential but these ladies left their imagination and their sense of fun and style at home.

1. A pretty pale blue Tommy Hilfiger puff ball dress does not really say Punk!? Tut tut tut!

2. Honestly Anna, why???? It’s not a picnic in the park.

 3. Just NO!

4. Elle Fanning freaked me out.

That’s just my opinion, what’s yours?!

Hope you had fun style stalking the Met Ball guests today too,

Love,

Nessa

I love bright colours so much and lime green is one of my absolute favourite colours. It’s such a fun  colour and I especially love wearing it with black. I found this lime green top in River Island and this coloured skirt from Topshop and they both will look good with so many other alternatives during the summer- black, white, denim & pink.

I have been really enjoying this lovely long weekend,

Hope you all have had a fantastic weekend,

Love,

I went to the launch of Xpose Live today at the Bodega in Cork,

(For those of you that don’t know what “Xpose” is, it is a TV show here in Ireland that covers all sorts of topics mainly fashion and beauty and they are bringing a live exhibition to Cork at the end of May.)

I wore a multi-coloured floral top from Zara with a tulle skirt I got in Warehouse about 10 years ago! I actually love this skirt and have worn it so many times down through the years. You can get a similar one on Etsy here which comes in lots of fun colours. I also wore my new Zara shoes which I am happy to say have softened out and are not quite as sore as they were. I also love this lime green bag I got in……Yes, Zara!

Oh and my Peacock & Ruby white statement necklace which I also love and you can get something similar here, here & here!

Hope you have all been having a good week?

I am really looking forward to the long weekend and I plan to spend lots of time with friends catching up and hopefully we can sip on some cocktails in some much needed May sunshine,

See you soon,

Love,

Nessa

Enjoy your 12 day programme at Educogym, your new hair style at Kopper Hair Salon and your new outfit from Verso Boutique,

For everyone else, please don’t be too annoyed, I also wanted to win this competition! (Boo!)

The good news is that I will be doing another competition really soon in which someone will win a designer dress. All details will be revealed on the blog in the next few weeks.

Thanks for the support as always everyone, I appreciate it all so much,

Here’s a little Monday inspiration:

Happy Monday lovelies,

I went to see a really cool band play last night, Hermitage Green… a very talented bunch of Irish guys who just happen also to be so pleasing on the eye!

I wore my new Zara shoes which I have to admit are SO sore. Warning to anyone that hasn’t bought them but was thinking about it. I wouldn’t be a wimp either when it comes to sore shoes. Prettiness comes before comfort for me generally.

I wore them with my adored leather shorts from River Island (similar sale ones here) and a plain black Zara tee, necklace from Oasis and my Zara blazer also seen here and here. Yes I do love that white blazer. What I don’t love is the dry-cleaning!

I am heading out for some fun Sunday adventures with my sister,

Hope you are all having a really fun weekend?

Love,

Nessa

P.S There is one day left to enter my blog competition which you can find details of here. There are also some items still for sale on my online store. Check them out here.
