WHAT I WEAR AND THE BARGAINS I FIND


This dress is another Forever 21 find, and a total bargain at only €19.99. This again is perfect for pears as it draws attention to the slim waist and skims over those thighs and bum. Dip hem is great for  not just pears but anyone who is conscious of their bum .





The necklace is vintage from the 70's and I bought it at a market in Barcelona, a bargain at just €3!! I love the way it adds a pop of bright white.



This bag is on sale on my online shop and it's really lovely soft leather.Perfect for bringing to festivals or on holidays as it's cross body :-)


 These skinny jeans are from Pull and Bear and were on sale at €12.99. I rolled them up to make them 3/4 length. Sandals are from Penneys and are currently priced at €3. Took me a couple of wears  before they stopped cutting between my two toes(I have very sensitive feet!) but now they are really comfy and for €3 , where could you go wrong!!

WHAT I WEAR AND THE BARGAINS I FIND



Thought it about time for another post on what I wear ! Today was NOT a scorcher by all means at 22 degrees (last year this would of been a scorcher!) but it was just warm enough for an outfit like this. The necklace is from a gorgeous little boutique in Carlingford called Memories.It adds a touch of boho to any dress.








Dress is from Forever 21 and a right bargain at only €24. It is the just D  perfect dress for pear shaped women as it draws attention the slimmest part of the pear shape which is the waist, and then it skims over those hips. I threw it on over a pair of black leggings. I love this relaxed comfy style.




Bag is actually genuine leather and it's GOLD!!! It's vintage from the 80's and it's on sale on my online shop www.corrinachristinachic.com and www.facebook.com/corrinachristinavintage.




Gladiator sandals are a fav of mine and I got these ones in Accessorize, one of the best buys I've ever got as they are perfect to throw on under maxi dresses and they are so comfy.

Shine bright in White.....

It's good enough for the rich and famous, the tanned or the pale , so really we should all embrace this  trend wholeheartedly. See some tips for wearing it below.








You don't need to be the colour of mahogany. Try it with pale skin and really bright tomato red lips. Alexa  rocks this sixties style mini and Laura follows suit looking stunning.


I'm a big fan of vintage leather boots with girly dresses. It adds a bit of an edge to your look. Eva you beauty!!!



Rihanna shines bright like a diamond in this white two piece. I love the tan and gold accessories with nude lips.

Wedding dresses under €200 SAY WHAAAA????!!!!!

For a long while now I've wondered why so many people feel the need to spend a FORTUNE on their wedding day. I realise it's down to your individual preference but for me, I couldn't do it. I hear the average price spent on a dress in €2000 (I believe it's much higher than this) but If I ever do say I do, I'd prefer to wear a fab dress under €200 and spend the rest on a trip to travel lands afar. That being said, I just want to prove that you can indeed get amazing dresses for under €200 . I've listed lots below including links! Some of them  are just too pretty and some are as low as €35 folks!

Get it Right folks, you'll be amazed when you do!!

Dressing Those Eyes To Perfection!
People don't realize the importance of getting the right pair of shades to suit your face. Sure I didn't until I started browsing  for sunglasses on Asos Marketplace and I came across a lady modeling 100's of pairs of sun glasses. I looked at how each pair enhanced or detracted from her features and to say I was amazed is an understatement! In some photos her face shape looked so rounded and unflattering and in others it it was slim and perfectly shaped by the glasses. Here are some examples.

WRONG X

RIGHT !

Notice how the second pair frame her face perfectly. This is because she naturally has a heart shaped face so the round work against it and the the glasses which emulate the shape of a heart enhance her cheekbones. AMAZING! 

Next...


                            WRONG X


RIGHT!




This lady has a more square shaped face, you can see here that actually wearing a more square shaped pair of glasses actually works against her. The more rounded  edge ones completely flatter her face giving her a slimmer and shapely face!!

What I would advise is to go shopping for glasses with a friend. Get them to take a photo of every pair  you try on and then go home and make a more educated decision. I don't know about you, but I can never tell by looking in the mirror. The tinted glasses distract me :-)
Anyway , I'm on the hunt for more examples so I can give pointers for every face shape. See you back here soon!

What I wear and the bargains I find!

Today was a major disappointment after the glorious weather we had yesterday but I tried to brighten my mood by adding some pops of colour through accessories and nail varnish. I'll tell you where I got everything below.


I actually bought this boyfriend blazer in a charity shop for 8 euro, bargain or what!!!


Ring is on sale on my vintage page for €6. Oh and nail varnish is a recent purchase, it's Barry M and it's new jelly shine range. Think I will actually wear this all Summer long!



I'm in love with my necklace, its from Zara at  €22 and well worth it!

I'm also wearing my bright orange and yellow summer jacket(in case some sun comes out!) bought it in River Island last week, reduced from €79 to €20!




Bag is from River Island and I got it last Summer, adore it!
