The Script OOTN

Dear Lovely readers,

Another week, even more hectic and a sick kid to contend with, and while Fridays don’t usually mean  a relaxed weekend for a mum, I’m glad it’s here! 

This month I’m really looking forward to the Michael Buble concert, I have always been a huge fan,  I thought I’d share a bit about last months The Script concert. 

This was my second time seeing this pop rock band, and I have been moved by their music since “We Cry” hit the airwaves. Since then I have bought every single album and thoroughly enjoy their ballads which reveals their Irish roots. They totally blew my socks off, and there was no better place to be than Golden Circle. Especially when Danny jumped off stage and entered the crowd, but alas, I was a mere arms length from him and couldn’t get any closer :-(

I  have an intense love of music, and change the genre I listen to depending on my mood. It helps calm me down when I’m seething, and so angry I could scream. When I feel down, it can perk me up, and certain songs will bring back memories which are endearing and special and sometimes funny. 

Today’s look is my outfit I wore to the concert, comfort being top of mind. I paired a ‘concert’ ZARA t-shirt with Gap skinny jeans and the really funky Zibastyles shoulder chain to add some edge.

Oversized Denim on Denim

 Hi lovelies, 

This week has flown by in haze of exam stress, helping my little one study by setting mock exam papers, math tutoring, the usual house keeping, carpooling and so on. It’s no wonder I feel this intense yearning for a tranquil vacation, to recharge the batteries. And even though things are crazy for a SAHM like me, the fact is I wouldn’t change it for the world. I get to chat to my kids after every exam, discuss the days events without the worries of corporate deadlines looming at the back of my mind. 

My boys are at such a critical age, and its usual for teenagers to be moody and reclusive, I am really thankful to have open, chatty young men full of wisecracks and laughter. My home is a constant buzz of bickering, music, kitchen noises (as they eat all the time) and of course the really loud drums!!! During this exam period though it has become silent, making me realise how much life and laughter they inject into our lives.

Today's look is another morning brunch outfit I put together some time ago. The over sized shirt is a trend I can really live in. It’s perfect for the strange weather were experiencing right now, and a perfect cover up for modest fashionistas. It’s also a slight stonewash, which I like, I really don’t think I can pull off the heavy stonewash considering I remember it being on trend previously. I finished the denim on denim outfit off with red accents.

Ciao for now,
