Hey!!!
Thanks for stopping by!
I didn't get a chance to blog yesterday because I had a really busy day up in Dublin and I got back home late so I was wayyy too tired!zZz!
Anyhow! On Thursday I headed up to Stellar Magazine's Birthday/Bachelor bash in Krystle and because I don't go out very often anymore I thought I'd do a "what I wore" blog post!
The invite was really cool and had a cut-out man that you could dress ;) lol I dressed my guy casual in jeans and a Tshirt. I asked for a plus 1 and my plus 1 became plus 2 when I asked my freinds Ismay and Laura if they wanted to come a long.
Myself and Laura went up first on Thursday morning, Ismay was working until 12 and I had a hair appointment in Dublin so I had to get up early.
I got my hair done in Dejavu Hairdesign which is situated in GoatsTown but easily accessible on the Luas.
I hadn't had a cut and colour since before I left for America so I felt like I really needed to get it done!
I was really impressed with the Salon-It's very girl and cute and it has a welcoming atmosphere. The staff were super friendly and one of the girls even dropped me to the luas afterwards so my hair wouldn't get messed-up in the wind.
What I had done:
I got a couple of inches taken off the ends and long layers put in all the way around the back and at the front. I also topped up my colour (Black). Then they set my hair in curlers.
I am growing out my bangs at the minute and opted for layers instead.
I had washed my hair only the day before and getting it washed and dyed again meant my hair was extremely soft-which is great but the curls did fall a little on my travels back to the hotel however it remained wavy and shiny :)
If you're looking for a good hairdresser in Dublin I would HIGHLY recommend DeJavu!! I am protective of my hair because it's naturally long with no hair extensions to compensate if I don't like a haircut or too much is cut-off but I was confident and happy in the care of Hatim and the staff at DeJavu and I am really happy with the results! Keep an eye on my facebook (click here to visit) for more pictures of my haircut over the coming days.
I saw on the Dejavu facebook page that they also did AR model Nicola Hughes's hair for an event-I wanted to include the picture to show Dejavu don't just make dark hair look shiny and great but also blondes-As can be seen in this picture of Nicola.
Dejavu are a one-stop-salon and have different package offers available! To visit their facebook page click here!
What I wore:
I wore a gorgeous coral dress from a new dress rental on South William Street!
The wonderful STARLA popped up over the summer when I was away in the US and I was delighted to hear about it when I got back (You can never have enough boutiques :) )
I wore a Hand Painted HOLT dress in coral
It is backless and beautifully designed with a V-shaped cut-out back which is very flattering on the 'bootay'
It is also available in white and baby blue!
I love the coral hand painted dress because I feel it's different than anything I've worn before and it is beautifully structured!
Another option I had from Starla was this gorgeous tropical dress seen on Jessica Wright!
Although they are different I love both dresses equally, however ultimately I went from the Coral because the Tropical dress was too big on me. I was happy with my choice and I had a great night!
If you have a wedding, cocktail party or even if your simply looking for a Saturday night dress, drop into Starla and select from a wide variety of beautiful dresses by Rachel Gilbert, Badgley Mischka, BCBG and many more!! Delivery is also available! Visit their website http://starla.ie/ or give them a ring on (01) 677 0799
You can also keep up to date on the pieces they have available by following the Starla facebook page-Just click here!
Jewellery
I love BLING :) so I was delighted to come across a new Jewellery boutique in Ireland 'Rock's Boutique'! Their pieces are sparkly, beautiful and "right-up my street"!
On Thursday night I paired my Starla dress with earrings and a headpiece from Rock's Boutique and I think it was the perfect match!
I love Indian style jewellery and I often wear headpieces! I think they are glamerous and the ultimate accessory. I also love big sparkly earrings ever since I saw the beautiful Shilpa Shetty on Big Brother a couple of years ago who always wore this style!

Here is a close up of the Earrings I wore-which are available in Gold and Silver!
and the headpiece:
Other pieces that I got from Rocks Boutique that I will be sure to wear very soon are...
a Hair chain!
Kim Kardashian is definitely one of my style icons and she was the first person I saw rocking a hair chain-I knew straight away I had to have one! With a hair chain you can wear your hair in a simple pony tail and still look glamorous and fashionable! :)
I also got a TURBAN from Rocks Boutique! Yup a fashion Turban! I've wanted one of these for ages and now I have one in hot pink! ;) This fashion statement is bound to divide opinion but personally I LOVE it <3 and I think it's trendy, edgy and cool :)
Turbans have been spotted on style goddesses Cara Delevingne, Nicole Scherzinger and Kourtney Kardashian!
I love this trend!! what do you think about it? -Let me know :)
Follow Rocks Boutique on facebook (Click here) to keep up with their fab jewellery and accessories!
So that's what I wore to the Stellar Magazine Party! Hair by DeJavu Hair Design, Jewellery from Rocks boutique and dress from Starla boutique! -a big Thank You to all!! :)
Also Thank You to Micheal O'Doherty and Stellar Magazine for the invite and Laura and Ismay for coming along and making it a fun night :)
It was my first time meeting Michael in person although he had written about me in papers previously-His writing technique and journalistic manner can come across quite "sarky" and don't get me wrong I'd rather be written about than not written about (especially in this industry) but it made me unsure as to what he would be like in person-However I discovered that he's a really nice man and I was pleased to meet him at last! He has a good sense of humour and it wan't so scary..I didn't need my pepper spray or anything ;) lol (Just kidding because he once joked in a headline that I'd be needing it at the Playboy mansion).
Friday:
On Friday I was tired from the night before but I had a couple of things to do! I met with DK Fashion who I'm going to be working with as they are designing me my own dress/outfits.

Then I had to pop into Starla to drop back the dresses they sent me! I met Johanna who owns Starla and it was lovely to meet someone so lovely! :) I love friendly, smiley people! It makes such a huge difference!
Then I met my long time friend, Sinead, for lunch on Grafton street!- I have known Sinead forever and she's one of these friends where time can pass without seeing one another (due to living in different places, busy lives etc.. )but we can always pickup where we left off and I love that!
A new venture:
After lunch I had to rush to my next meeting where I met with a Talent agency who contacted me about joining them! It was a very successful meeting and I am delighted to announce that I am now joining their agency for representation with regards to TV and commercial work etc... etc... while I am still also with Assets modelling agency. I am signing the contract with the talent agency this weekend and I'm very excited to see what work comes my way as a result :) My aim is always to stay as busy as possible! and I feel that the company will work extremely well for me :) I am positive, happy and delighted to now have an agency for talent as well as modelling.
After my meeting I ran around Dublin some more and then headed back to Galway for the weekend! I did a lot of running around with a suitcase (which aint easy) so I was happy to get home and chill for the weekend!
In other news I'm getting a wisdom tooth pulled on Monday - EEEKKKK -wish me luck!! :P
Thanks for reading!
Lots of Love,
