Trend Watch: Double Denim

Denim on Denim

  Double Denim is a trend that has been around for quite some time now. Some people don't like the idea of denim on denim but when styled right it can be amazing!! I can honestly say this trend is a huge favorite of mine, once worn right. 

I feel this is a trend that would suit different body shapes and sizes, as it's all about the pieces you choose to wear. When it comes to doubling up on denim don't be afraid to pair different shades together, it doesn't matter if the wash or colours are completely different. The last thing you want is to look too matchy! So for example, wearing dark coloured denim bottoms with a light washed denim shirt/jacket. 

*Always Remember* Light shades of denim tend to draw attention to the area they cover, while darker shades of denim create that slimmer effect. 

So there's a little tip to remember when putting your denim look together. Everyone will be different as it depends on the body type.

Most double denim looks are created by wearing slim and baggy pieces together, again this will vary from person to person. Make sure the outfit suits your shape, for example, wearing slim denim jeans with a loose fitting shirt or vice versa. There is also some of you that will get way with wearing slim denim on both bottom and top!! 

With denim there is so much variety and combinations. Jeans, skirts, shorts, jackets, shirts, crop tops & dungarees. Mix and match these pieces to create your outfit while keeping all the above in mind. If your not brave enough to wear just denim, don't be afraid to break it up with a print shirt or jacket. As you can see in some of the photos below...

I had Tweeted a few weeks ago about denim on denim after seeing it take over the streets of Paris during Paris Fashion Week. I knew immediately that the trend was making its way back, and being such a fan of it I was only delighted.

Celebrities seem to love this trend also, with the likes of Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez & Vanessa Hudgens stepping out head to toe in Double Denim. Pictures below..

So go on, grab all your denim bits and start putting those outfits together. If your brave enough go ahead and triple denim!! You can put that denim jacket over your denim shirt and jeans, just remember to keep the shades different!

Until next time,

What I Got Up To Yesterday

The Irish Beauty Show

So as most of you already know, yesterday I attended the Irish Beauty Show with two of my friends. Believe it or not this was actually my first time attending the show. So as you can imagine I was so excited to go up and have a look around. The ultimate girls day out.  

The show lasts for two days (Sunday the 13th of March & Monday the 14th) with some of the most recognised names in the beauty industry. The day is full of inspiring demos and seminar stages where you get the chance to interact and learn more about makeup, hair, tanning and nails etc. Another benefit of attending the show is how much you save on products with over 350 brands offering different promo's, discounts and offers. 

So here's what I got up to for the day.. 

What I Wore

Top - Pennys 

Trousers - Missguided (last year)

Fringe Sandals - Forever 21 

I didn't have the time to go shopping for an outfit to wear so instead I rooted through my wardrobe to see what I could put together. I opted for something comfortable as I knew the day would involve a lot of walking and standing around. 

A lot of you asked me where I got my trousers as soon as I posted the picture. Unfortunately I actually bought these off Missguided last year, but they do have some similar styles here (Missguided Link).  So anyway, I took a quick outfit picture and headed off to meet the girls. 

Meeting Familiar Faces

I was delighted to finally meet Marissa Carter, Faces by Grace and James Patrice!! Sure of course I had to ask for some photos. I don't have a photo with James Patrice as he kindly did one of his famous videos on my snapchat for you all. The man is hilarious.

Snapchat Names...

Marissa Carter: cartermarissa

Grace Mongey: facesbygrace23

James Butler: jamespatrice

Myself: itsaclothing

There were plenty more familiar faces throughout the day, but most of them were taking part in demos or selling products. 

My Purchases

So the first thing I picked up was the SoSu Contour Palette!! 

I didn't think the palettes were going to be on sale at the stand yesterday, as I thought Suzanne had mentioned they were low on stock in previous snaps. As soon as I realised they were actually for sale I just had to get one. When it comes to my makeup I am obsessed with a good foundation and contour base. Plus my current contour palette was running low. 

My second purchase was these two Blank Canvas Brushes. I picked up the F20 and F21 to help apply my new SoSu Contour Palette & my everyday Foundation. The brushes feel so soft and I thought the pink and green handles were cute.

Some Food and Browsing

After the Beauty Show we headed over to the Dundrum Shopping Center to grab a bite to eat. We were so hungry, and of course we couldn't resist Eddie Rockets. 

On our way back to the car we found ourselves wondering into shops for a 'quick look'. Topshop, Pennys, Zara etc. One piece in particular caught my eye, I stumbled across this blazer dress in Zara and fell in love with it!! The picture is not great as there is a top underneath, but you get the idea.

So that was what I got up to yesterday. 

To those of you heading up to the show today, enjoy!! If you have any questions about the Irish Beauty Show message me or comment below.

My Glam Squad

Hey Girls, I've decided to write this blog post sharing with you my "Glam Squad" and why they are so amazing at what they do.

All of us girls like to get dolled up for that special occasion making sure our hair, makeup, nails and outfits are perfect for the event. Below I am going to share with you the people who doll me up for a night out. So let me start introducing..

1. Hair - D&G Hair Studio

We all know that there is nothing worse than a dodgy hair cut or that hairdresser that cuts off far too much!! Especially after expressing the love for the length of your hair and how upsetting it is to part with even an inch! So it can be hard to trust someone when it comes to our hair.

I've been getting my hair done at D&G Hair Studio for a few years now. The girls are absolutely brilliant at what they do, I honestly love my hair every time I get it done. They are so friendly and the salon is amazing! The atmosphere is always great and the time flies with tea, chocolates and chats.

Below is the link to their Facebook page..

2. Makeup - Danielle Chin MUA

Makeup Time.. Well I can safely say that Danielle is my life saver!! The girl is so talented at what she does and is an absolute dote. I've been in to Danielle on many occasions, my 21st being one of them (picture above). She listens to what you want and is great for suggestions. I'm so comfortable with Danielle doing my makeup at this stage I just sit in the chair and let her work her magic!!

If your in the Wexford area and are looking for a Make Up Artist, I'd definitely recommend Danielle.
