Autumn Shoe Haul | ASOS, New Balance & Primark

The time for sliders and espadrilles is long over,and with that in mind, I decided to pick up a few new footwear items. The A/W fashion season is in full swing and is still my favourite season for style. As some one who is almost perpetually in an all black ensemble, I love when the high street colour palette moves to darker tones and edgier styles and textures are introduced.

ASOS 'Remember me' Ankle Boots - €49.79 

I just received these boots from ASOS a few days ago. I chose these particular ankle boots because I'm a great lover of a chunky flatform and because I thought the diamond print texture was unusual. I can imagine Zoe Benson from AHS Coven wearing these and they will definitely be featuring in my Halloween LookBook. 

New Balance - €87

I know people say New Balance are overpriced and trendy and I was perfectly willing to let the trend pass me by. This changed when I saw this particular pair in Schuh. The minimalist scheme and mesh detailing was what sealed the deal and I decided to take a leap of faith and invest on what are now my comfiest pair of shoes. 

Primark/Penney's Oxfords - €21

I don't usually buy shoes in Penney's but these dupes caught my eye. The pale stitching on the sides is reminiscent of Dr Martins style and these could have easily passed as excellent dupes if it wasn't for the zipper running up the front instead of laces.I'm also still debating as to whether these are black or navy, it deviates depending on the lighting but there is a definite blue marbled effect. 

I hope you enjoyed this short post and I'l be working on giving you guys tonnes of new content in the coming weeks. I'm also selling some other shoes over on my Depop if you'd like to check it out.

2014 Christmas Wishlist

2014 Christmas Wishlist by sarahmagliocco 

It's the most wonderful time of the year, oh I wish it could be Christmas everyday, walking in a Winter wonderland...etc.

So it's the time of the year again where festive cheer and fiscal spending is at it's highest, and I'm not complaining! Whether you are shopping for yourself or for gifts for others, here's my run down of 15 things I'd be very happy to see under my tree this year, or look forward to treating myself to in the new year.
1. The Bucket Hat
Iv'e been longing for a good bucket hat since the Summer, with my favourite style being the classic Stussy and this rare Nike Air Tokyo specimen.
2. The Platform Slip On
The shoe of A/W was the slip on plimsole, and I love River Island for introducing this snakeskin platform version. They're even on sale!
3. Embelished Choker
Tattoo chokers are dime a dozen now, I'll be adding interest with embellishment.
4. Faux Fur 
Every Winter season faux fur comes back with a vengence, and these Missguided heels are an alternative twist on the typical faux fur clutches and jackets.
5. Dark Berry Lipstick
As stereotypical as it is, as the evenings get darker so do make up hues, and lips are no exception. MAC Rebel is my personal favouries.
6. iPhone 6
A major stocking filler this Christmas will be the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus.. If you have a handy few hundred euro laying around. One can only dream..
7. HUF
HUF socks have been on my wishlist for a while now, particularily since the "palm" leaf print has been big. What print would look cuter with faux fur sliders or Nikes.
8.Adidas Mountain Clash Collection
I have become obsessed with landscape print and Adidas has the perfect urban edge to showcase a print like this in the coolest possible way. 
9. Explicit Content
I am in love with this Missguided clutch, keeping the original Alexander Wang motif alive.
10. Casio Watch
A nod to the 80's, Iv'e had my eye on this Casio digital watch for years, I think it's such a classic and a nice alternative to the chunky styles from Michael Kors and River Island that have been popular for the last few years.
11. Penny Board 
I started learning to skate like 2 years ago and never managed to get to grips with it. I saw the Penny Board first in my all time favouritee blogger and Youtuber, The Beauty Crush's, video a few months ago and have been obsessed with their sweet colour schemes ever since.
12. Kenzo Jumper
I much prefer the eye motif to the Kenzo tiger, I will be saving my Christmas dosh for a trip to BT2's.
13. Lacy
Who doesn't want cute underwear! Topshop have been steadily releasing cute lacy items all season if your Christmas budget doesn't quite stretch to this Stella Mc Cartney piece, but this particular triangle bra is available here.
14. Over the Knee Boots
I'm jumping on the band wagon here but over the knee boots are my favourite footwear fad of the minute.  
15. Hidden Treasure
My go-to nail varnish that I re-purchase and re-purchase is Topshop's 'hidden treasure'. 

A little Primark Haul..

Good evening every one, and once again appologies for the lack of blog posts, I know I use the old busy excuse every time but what with being back at school and actually caring about school this time around, I really have been weighed down with work!

Today I was doing some Christmas shopping and of course I stopped into Penney's. Iv'e been really disappointed with Topshop and RI lately (unheard of I know!!) and so Iv'e pretty much just been shopping online and in Penney's due to the need for basic bits and fluffy winter socks and the like!

The first thing I picked up was a body-con grey marl midi dress for 13 euro.

 

 My main fault wit it is that he bottom is a little too tight, walking up steep steps is pretty much impossible! (Trust me, I learned the hard way.)

 I also picked up this jumper. Out with ombre hair, In with ombre knitwear! It was 16euro which is an absolute bargain seeings it's so pretty and cosy!

 It's a kind of fluffy wool(100% acrylic, don't stand too near an open flame) which annoyingly moults a little but it's too soft to care!

 Seeings I cannot justify buying the real American Apparel Disco Pants, I snapped up the Penney's version for 17euro. I say Penny's version but they are literally the exact the same as the AA ones, back pockets and all!

 I also picked up this shirt, not sure how much it was. I wear it with my green John Lennon glasses and feel like i'm in a 70's band.

 The print is an odd hybrid of hybrid of baroque/oriental/paisely but I like it, it's quite different than any other print I have in my wardrobe.

Cest tout pour le moment. I really will intend on posting every few days during the Christmas holidays! Enjoy the run up to Christmas!

Outfit of The Day #4

Just another Outfit of the Day. I was heading into town today just to get paints and that for college so it was super casual. Oh and for some reason super colorful, which I only realised after I took these photos! I was kind of going for an Autumnal Palette, even thought it's Winter finally!

Brogues~NewLook (Now on Sale, I saw when I was in New Look today)

I have to say, I adore this necklace, I have a mild obsession with crucifixes and this one reminds me so of the young Madonna era, especially with the Rose Gold hue and pale stones...

Gloves~Dunnes Stores

When I bought these gloves obviously there were two navy and two purple but I lost one of each so now I just wear them together! They came in a set and it was only 2.5O for both pairs together. They weerent fingerless when I bought them though, I cut the fingers off them.

I also wore my Black River Isalnd slouch bag, featured in my OOTN post below.

Oh and the heading picture is just a snapshot I took today eating super salty chips at The Spanish Arch with my boyfriend while he got attacked by seagulls :)

Cest Tout!
