A look back on my year of 2012!

Hey guys! 

Thankfully, this year was a great year for me. I had so many opportunities
And some many family events that I will never forget!
Yes of coarse there was highs and lows, making new friends, getting back in touch with old friends,
a new year in college, a new house, the loss of some amazing people, 
bad decisions and illnesses. The one good thing about 2012 I will not forget, is I have no regrets. I have made some amazing friends and if I could do 2012 over again I would do it the same. 
Of coarse a year wouldn't be complete with drama and conflict. 
I look forward to 2013 and plan on leaving this in 2012.

Some people make stupid resolutions, like they'll give up alcohol, 
junk food, save money, loose a stone, become a better person.
How do we expect to do this in the instant of 1 minute as the bell strikes midnight.
New years for many is a lonely time, even surrounded by hundreds of people. 
I personally love the idea of a new year, a new start but the history will always be there.
Appreciate the things dear to your heart, life is too short to dwell on mistakes, on the past or regretting something, sadly there is no edit button and we cannot re-do our lives.

A regret is something we wish to erase from our minds, think of mistakes as lessons. We have to make these mistakes to realise the true potential in life. You learn from your mistakes and wont ever let it happen again :) 

I am so grateful for all my family, friends and opportunities I have been fortunate enough to have in 2012. I made a quick collection of pictures from every month, looking back on the year past! :)

Wishing ye all a very very happy a joyful new year!

Boohoo clothing haul - @Iamkatedillon93

Its the best time of year! Christmas :)


Im obsessed with Christmas.. the food... the smells.. the clothing..

So recently i've done a bit of shopping to keep myself nice and warm this winter.
I placed an order on Boohoo.Com and i could not have been happier! I planned on getting one or two pieces i ended up with a few more!

The HUGE package
I was so impressed by the value and the quality of the clothing, Sometimes i hate online shopping as it is very hard to tell sizing, length, shape etc! Boohoo has a great catwalk show and it shows all the pieces on real life models!


















Two quirky items i got from Boohoo are these mustache design tank tops.
The first is grey and has a large mustache saying oui! Its got drop arm holes and its really quite cute! Was only €12!!
This would be gorgeous paired with anything, i can not wait to wear this paired with wine leggings and a cute blazer!

Click to buy here :)





The next is another mustache tank. This ones much longer and has hundreds of I love mustache badges. It was on sale for €8 and seeming its Movember i taught why not!! The back is an almost sheer fabric, layered correctly this could work for all seasons! I love love love this!

Click to buy here :)





I am obsessed with blazers. Anyone who knows me knows that so i got this dogtooth black and white blazer from Boohoo. I think it has a vintage style and will be great dressed up or down. It was only €22 and i love it. I was blown away with the quality of this, i was expecting a thin knit blazer but this blazer has an almost tweed like feel. The design is gorgeous and the shape would flatter any figure! This is my favorite piece i have ever bought from Boohoo! And of coarse i bought the oui top underneath cause of the picture  ;)

Click to buy blazer here!




The next is a cute black jumper from Boohoo with a gorgeous white lace detailing. It was only €22. I think this would be perfect with leggings are jeans and great for layering this Christmas :) On the website this looks like a heavy knit jumper in my opinion. But its actually very thin, it'd be great to layer with hats, gloves and scarves and the heart detail is to die for! One problem with this, its hand wash only, but soooo worth it!

It comes in tons of colours and i will be buying all of them!

Click to buy here :)



Another piece from Boohoo is a cream wide knit jumper with a love heart detailing in the same colour. Its 3/4 length sleeve is very flattering and super cute! This is actually very short in person and hits just above the waist, the heart detail is gorgeous and didn't quite pick up on camera. Sadly they only have it left in black but for 15 euro its a total bargain!

Buy here!



My next thin to buy! I am so angry i didn't wait one more day and i could have bought this gorgeous jumper! It came out the day after i had placed my order! Of coarse its the same pattern as the tank top but hey, a girl can't have too many mustache things! I love this and will be buying it asap! 




Here's a voucher to enter at the check out for 10% off everything! Oh did i mention free postage to Ireland? ;)




I had a small problem with the Alex heart jumper as it was pulling at the neck line. I tweeted boohoo and straight away customer care got in touch! Overall i genuinely love this website, i think it has grown so well and the staff are obviously very caring towards their customers!

Their returns policy is free and fast! I can not fault them!!!

Why not try it out for Christmas?
Happy shopping days!
