Graduation Dresses

I want to get this dress for my graduation (We have to wear either black or white). It's a steal at 24euro (from Asos.com) but I'm worried that it would be too short for a graduation ceremony. I might buy it and try it on anyway.

It's so hard to find any white dresses on the high street here in Dublin, the only ones I found were floaty, summer dresses which are no good to me as the event is in November! On Asos they all seem to either be mini dresses or 'ponti' length- I want something in between!!

I shall keep this updated as to my efforts of finding the perfect dress in which to 'commence'!

If I had this in my wardobe...

I would promise to never wear my ugg boots to college again. I would promise to always get up in time to pick out a nice outfit instead of ending up leaving the house in jeans and something Abercrombie. I promise I would always style my hair and do my make up and look pretty all the time- Just so the coat would look good on me. It's so perfect, and yet so un-Kizzy ish in that, it would require effort to choose clothes to match it.

But it's beautiful- And it's a cape! Wearing this I would feel like an undercover super hero. But a really trandy, feminie super hero!

Well, now you know, if you're thinking of buying me anything for Christmas: This would be quite an appropriate gift for me!! (Sizzy has already shown me the fur coat and heels from BT2s that she wants for Christmas. I'm starting a charity collection for these gifts, if anyone would like to make a donation please contact me. Every little helps.)

Woman Crush

Oh Georgia May, I'm crushing on you bad. Brilliant marketing on Hudsons behalf as I want their jeans now, she is the only reason. What a babe? Who doesn't love her?

Outer Space.

Elcetric Picnic is fast approaching. If I can somehow look like Bruce Springsten, Kings of Leon and Drew Barrymore all at the same time, I will be a happy camper. I am terribly excited, a weekend with my boys and Nips. I doubt if we shall still be friends at the end of the weekend, but here's hoping. Will you be there?
(Is the African tribe theme a bit much? Or too little?)

Gin and Juice.

It's summertime and I have become bored with what is on my ipod, so I went trawling the internet and various other people's music collections and both came across and fell in love with Beirut, there song Postcards from Italy is just lovely, and the video kind of captures a summer feel reminiscent of your childhood, ah tis just great. Just so you know they are not from Lebanon, a rather long and rambling discussion was had about this before a googling of the matter occured, turns out they hail from America, New Mexico if Wikipedia is to be believed.
Also loving the new collections for Autumn, all full skirts, capes, waists and trousers. TROUSERS. God I love trousers, they are friggin awesome, so much more comfortable than jeans and in an amazing cuts and fabrics are just so beautiful. Can not wait for these to enter my wardrobe, above are some of my favourites dudes.

Mad as a Hatter Indeed.

Well, two weeks later, safe to say Ali's in Wonderland was a complete success. The birthday girl and her dress were amazing, and as usual completely unique, and I was soo impressed with the effort all her friends made, it was whopper dude, had a great time!! My own outfit was kind of awesome and I think I will probably wear it again, what can I say sequin hotpants, any excuse.

Mad as a Hatter you say?

My darling Ali shall be turning 21 in a matter of weeks, and in order to celebrate it is having an 'Ali's in Wonderland' theme.
I am the laziest person when it comes to dressing up, love the idea, but when it comes down to it, I'd rather sit on my arse to be honest. As it's Ali though I am going to make an honest effort, so I need some tips. I plan to dress up as The Mad Hatter, sure as Ger says I am a Mad Hatter, so it only makes sense. Any tips or advice would be gratefully received.
Sizzy.

I can't believe this!

Bitch copied my swag!!!

Katy Perry at the 2010 Grammies wearing a nude Zac Posen dress and a bindi.

We all know bindis are my thing... It's the one thing I do that no one else does. Seeing someone else wearing one makes me feel robbed. :(

The question now is, will it become a trend? If it becomes a trend then I started it!

To be honest I will be majorly upset if the general public begin to wear bindis. There's just something about other people doing my 'thing' that makes me want to vomit. If everyone else starts wearing bindis then I'm never wearing one again!

The Hills: The Musical

So I got pretty bored today and wrote a song about Lauren Conrad...
Meh, it's pretty sad that I have to write songs about her life because mine is so vanilla...
Anything in my that's worth writing about is SCANDALOUS materiel and needs to be kept a BIG secret!

If there is ever a broadway show about The Hills they should soooooo let me write the music! Ha, if Lily Allen can do it anyone could do it, right?!

So here it is, my ode to LC:

Seven Day Playsuit Challenge!

So, 'What is the Playsuit Challenge?' you ask. Well, here's the deal. I think this is one of my greatest ideas ever, I need to get a patent in this quick: You take seven playstuits and wear one each day of the week. Every week! SO you're never seen wearing anything but playsuits, I think it's such a cute idea.

I absolutely adore playsuits! There is something so fun and sporty about them while at the same time they are very feminine and flattering if you can choose one that suits you.

So, in honour of my new challege which I am putting forward to all of you, here are my favorite seven playsuits at the moment.


Monday
I love strapless playsuits, unfortunately with my ample bosom, lol, I often have to refrain from wearing anything strapless. I love this playsuit on the model regardless. This is the kind of outfit you'd see someone wearing at a barbecue drinking ice cold bulmers with a load of really hip friends.
Tuesday
This is the piece that I'd be most likely to buy and wear myself. The colour is vibrant and pretty and the cut is flattering to a number of body shapes.
Wednesday
This is definitely a day time suit. It's a great alternative to shorts and tee shirt for summer days. It possessess all the girly-ness of a skirt while being practical for hanging out on the beach or in the park where you'll probably end up partaking in a game of football or touch rugby.
Thursday
This little number is something I'd wear on a date. It's dressy enough to look good without looking like too much effort was involved! It's versatile enough to go from walk in the park to afternoon drinks to even a bar later on.
Friday
This is probably my favorite of them all on the model. I love the cut and the bright colours. However I think if would make me look like a frump so I doubt I'll be wearing it anytime soon...
Saturday
I really like this one because it's versatile enough to be worn during the day or at night to a club.
Sunday
This is such a lazy Sunday look! I love this piece because it's so different to all the other playsuits I was looking at. I love the faded denim giving it a worn look. However, I don't think it would be flattering on anyone who doesn't have twiggy model legs unfortunately.

Damn I wish I had the money to buy seven as cute as these... As it stands I only have one. I think a trip to Pennies is required right now!

I also need to get a pair of denim hotpants before I head off stateside. Preferably ones that are cute but are appropriate for wearing at Summer Camp! I really must go shopping and stock up on summer supplies soon...

Kizzy's 21st Birthday Celebration

I'm turning 21 at the end of June but since neither myself nor my twin will be in the country at that point, we had our 21st birthday party last night.

I had the most amazing time all thanks to my friends who attended, it wouldn't have been the same without any of them. It started off in our house where we had drinks and food. My older sisters were great working the bar and making sure everyone was looked after. Amy made a tropical punch which went down a treat with everyone! Tiger beer and outdoor lights added to the Summer feel. Unfortunately it started to rain and we had to move the party inside so any late-comers missed the great garden set up. Afterwards we went to Flannerys and then Coppers which were both really good fun I have to say.

My sister and I wore the same shoes and dress which was really fun to do. Everyone was commenting though how the outfit looked totally different though on each of us, it's funny how that is! My make up was inspired by Lady Gaga in her 'Poker Face' video.


Dress: 20euro from H&M


Shoes: 25euro from Simon Harte

The night was great. The drink was great, the food was great. My favorite people were there. I danced all night. I got my birthday kiss. I wasn't hungover the next day- Seriously, what more could I ask for?!

Food, Flowers, Fashion, Music and Men!

This was really fun to do! So, this is what my brain looks like on the inside. I'll have to get a few other people to do the same thing and then see the difference between everyone...

I'm loving Kelis' new song Acapella. I can't find the download link that I used for it, I think it must have been deleted, but you can listen to it here:



I must do a proper article soon seeing as I have free time now that exams are officially over... Watch this space!

So, I just finished my thesis proposal... Kinda. Well, it's drafted and emailed away to Wally to be corrected, let's hope there isn't too much work to be done on it.

So as a little treat to myself I allowed myself to do some internet-shop browsing. Whilst doing this I came to the conclusion that I am overly picky. Really. I could find nothing I liked. Trawling through sites upon sites and nothing was appealing to me. I eventually decided on the above outfit.

I do actually really love the jeans, they look perfect. The shoes, meh, they'll do. I couldn't find a top I liked at all. I'm not into all this lace and floral stuff that seems to be in fashion at the moment. I was trying to find a leather top, lol, but couldn't come across one, so instead I settled for this street-wise little number. And then, of course, how can an outfit be complete with A BUMBAG?!

Bum bags it seems are only available at the moment in black, dark grey, or obnoxious pink in the kiddie's section. I managed to find this yellow one on Ebay, but it's a bit of a murky yellow. I want an illuminous one. Or a sparkly silver one. If anyone spots one around please give me a shout! I'm dying for one ever since yesterday when I suddenly got the brain wave to bring bum bags back...

Nerds are cool too now!

This is Barbie after her latest makeover.

'Computer Nerd Barbie', as she will be called, comes with her own laptop and thick rimmed glasses - just like a real life nerd!

I'm really happy about this, I've emphasised for years that nerds can be sexy too... And now here's the proof!

And so it begins...

Welcome to the most amazing blog you will ever read. This is the place where we shall be worshipping our (and most girls') five favorite things in life: Music, Men, Food, Flowers and Fashion.

Music.
Everyone loves it. There is music for every mood and music can not only accentuate a mood but also change a mood. When words fail: Music speaks. Everyday is a musical and life is my stage.

Men.
We hate them yet we love them. They are the most disgusting and frustrating creatures on the Earth and yet they are the most beautiful and time-worthy creatures on the Earth. They make us cry, but they also make us laugh uncontrollably.

Food.
Quod me nutri me destrui. Sometimes there is nothing better than eating. Sara shall be documenting her '30 Days of Epic Meals' here. As soon as Lent is over Katie shall be returning to her fast food loving ways.

Flowers.
Not the type that men give us on Valentine's day (Gimme steak and a blowjob instead anytime) - No, real flowers. As in Echium decaisnei. Or Nicotiana acuminata. Proper flowers with medicinal properties and flowers that are economically important. Botany (Or 'herbology' as we like to refer to it as) is blooming amazing.

Fashion.
I'm gonna say it now, I'm not much of an expert on fashion. Sara does fashion, Katie does sex appeal. I've no idea what is on the catwalks right now and the only time I've ever read a Vogue article was the one about poo that Sara made me read (In which she had underlined all the 'important' parts). I do love clothes though. There is no better feeling than putting on an outfit and feeling amazing and loving what you see in the mirror.

And so be it. Sizzy and Kizzy shall be the fellowship of the blog. Look forward to immense wit and insight from us both!

Truth, Beauty, Freedom, Love,
Kizzy xx
