Wedding Season

Wedding season has kicked off and we attended our first one this weekend. It was a beautiful civil ceremony in The Olde Post Inn in Cavan. What a stunning venue and the weather was gorgeous. I was so impressed with the vegetarian menu as this can be a bit of a challenge when attending some events. They went above and beyond to accommodate.

My top and skirt are from Le Butons boutique. I spotted this outfit last year and its not my usual style but when I seen it all I could think was Dirty Dancing (my all time fav!!) so I had to have it!! The shoes are New look and so is my bag, Its from my own wedding.

I had the pleasure of also being the bride's makeup artist on the morning. Its safe to say she made my job very easy what a stunner. I cannot wait to see all the professional pics!!

Saturday was a post wedding lunch in the Slieve Russell hotel, another stunning venue. The weather again was amazing I spent most of the day outside on the beautiful grounds with my family. 

I am obsessed with Penneys Spring/Summer collection this year I want one of everything, Look at the bow detail on the back of this top! I love it!

Top and sliders are Penneys this year, the jeans are Freddy and the bag is the Mulberry Mini Lily.

My gorgeous friend Carly recently invited me to join her at a makeup class in The LMD salon. They had a live demonstration of the below look and we picked up lots of tips. I'm slowly making my way through the very generous goody bag and really loving some of the products which I'll review once I've been using them for a while but so far I'm obsessed with the Bellamianta tan and the bPerfect eyebrow kit.

 The fab goody bags

Some bits I bought on the day. This blush is so beautiful. The palette is the pigments used on the models eyes, they are pressed pigments so no annoying fall out.

Usually myself and my better half go back to our wedding venue to celebrate our anniversary each year but this year was a little different. Unfortunately he was finishing off  a project at work which meant he needed to be in Dublin all weekend. So this year we changed things up and stayed in Dublin.

We went back to the venue of Marc's companies Christmas party the Castleknock hotel. I absolutely loved it at Christmas and couldn't wait to go back.  The rooms are amazing and the food is something else. (Vegetarian options are gorgeous I've yet to be able to finish my dish there) We started off our weekend with some shopping, of course. I picked up the new NARS cream concealer and the light reflecting powder. And I picked up this top and jacket from Zara.

We headed out to our hotel to relax for a while before dinner and had this lovely surprise waiting on us from Marc's work followed by another one at dinner.  After dinner we had a few drinks and listened to the music in the lobby which was an acoustic solo set. It was so chilled out and relaxed.

Sunday himself had to check in on work which happens to be beside my favorite treat The Rolling Dounut,(try the vegan raspberry its heaven!!) so after far too many dounuts and a walk around the Green we were off to finish our weekend with a visit to The Guinness Storehouse. We completely lucked out with the weather by the time we made it to the top the sun had come out and the view was amazing!!
