This...

...is how I've felt of late. Hence why I haven't been blogging. I apologise. 

With four college presentations this week and three reports due, not to mention my exams looming ever closer, blogging has had to take a back seat. Well, that and the fact I left my camera in Dan's! 

I'll be back on top of things soon don't worry, for now though, sit back and enjoy...

Saturday Playlist (on a Monday)

So, it's been awhile since I've done a Saturday playlist, and I know it's Monday guys, but it's a also a Bank Holiday. So sit back and chill and try to forget about that mountain of work that you've been pushing to the back of your mind for pretty much months now. Afterall, there's always tomorrow.

Enjoy!

So, I haven't blogged in awhile and for that, I am truly sorry. Not that I reckon anyone would have noticed but how and ever, I enjoy keeping this little thing up to date for my own records more so than anyone else's so I guess apologies to myself are in order.

Now that the apologies are dealt with, I suppose an excuse for my absence is needed. To be perfectly honest, time is scarce these days and what little free of it I have I have been trying to spend with neglected friends and family or doing work for college rather than spending it cooped up in my room, taking photos of myself and writing. I do enjoy blogging though and as such, although I wasn't posting, I still managed to snap a few outfit photos this week that I plan to share over the next while. That said, exams are fast looming and this little wannabe engineer needs to get her head down and get to learning, something that I in fact think I'll go do right now.

Happy Sunday everyone!

P.S. I've been asked to do a post about my make-up so I guess you can expect that soon too! 

It Wasn't Me...

Just getting ready to head off to an Engineering Design Challenge i've gotten involved in but I thought I'd share this new tshirt of mine before I left. I found it in the kid's section of River Island, it's boys age 5-6, but I couldn't resist it. Ever since my friend showed me a youtube video of ninja raccoons I've loved them. 

On that note, I leave you with this;

Happy first of March!

Mint

shirt- Primark/Penneys

jeans- River Island

nails- Topshop

I got these jeans in River Island at the weekend reduced to €25. I know the whole "pastel" thing is everywhere this season and pastels don't really suit me but I couldn't help jumping on the bandwagon when I saw these pants. There's just something about mint and white that always gets me. It's something that I always see Swedish bloggers pulling off really well but I never thought Irish weather was very suited to it. But sure I gave it a go!

In other news, I'm on reading week from college with week which means lots of assignments and all that lark to be done so I'll more than likely be glued to the library/my department computer room all week in an effort to get everything finished. This may either result in a temporary hiatus from blogging, or an influx in blogging, depending on procrastination levels....

....watch this space I guess.

Girl, You'll be a woman soon...

Last Saturday I celebrated turning 21. I can't even begin to describe how great a night was had and how thankful I am to all who came and especially to my family, Dan and the girls I live with for helping out with all the organisation, and of course the clean up. I really couldn't ask for better mates and I couldn't have been happier to be turning 21 with all of ye with me.

Of course, in true Aoife style, my Mum got me a ridiculous cake made that was both ballerina and engineering themed. Possibly the most ridiculous yet best thing I've ever seen.

After lusting after this Kate Moss for Topshop dress for ages I just stumbled across it last month on eBay and thought it was perfect for my 21st. Also couldn't resist wearing my new JC litas my brothers got me for my birthday, had to keep with the large cat theme (also on my nails might I add).

The biggest surprise of the night however was the present from my Dad. I was born on Valentine's Day and the day I was born he had gone out to buy my mum a rose, but when I arrived, he instead gave it to me. My parents kept that rose and pressed it and it's been sitting in a display cabinet at home for the past 21 years. Since then, every year my dad has sent me a single rose on my birthday, except for this year. Little did I know however, that my mum had organised for my original rose to be sent to Holland to be electroplated, forever preserving it for the many years to hopefully come.

A big thank you to everyone who made my birthday so awesome.

Roll on next year!
