OUTFIT BLOG

Hey you guys 

this is going to be a short and sweet post on my outfit 

If any of ye know me I absolutely love this time of year.

Pull out those jackets and scarfs and hats cause here in Ireland it's definitely getting a lot colder.

This look is all from Primark/Penny's 

I could forever shop in this store 

I posted these boots the other days ago on my instagram account 
(MELANIES_BLOGLIFE_)
So many ways you can match these pointed ankle boots, this is just one.

I paired them with black skinnys with rips turned up
Black polo top all can be picked up In any primark/penny's
I bought this fur scarf a few weeks back and matched perfect with this white blazer
also from primark
Add a top knot and glasses and your good to go
these boots are very comfortable for any one that loves comfort
No point buying shoes if there are not comfortable
Here is a few pics of my outfit
Enjoy you guys
Also thanks to my bestie Emmett  for taken these pictures ♡♡♡

Nice to be Nice 

Hey you guys 

So I wanted to write a blog as tomorrow is Wednesday 

Well actually it's Wednesday morning now

As we call it 

Hump day

It's the Middle of the week half way true the week and closer to the weekend 

Yaayy for all the people who are ready to let there hair down for the weekend .

So as I had to restart a new blog over my email been hacked I lost a lot of blogs I wrote and since I've new followers  I wanted to write a nice little blog 

IT'S NICE TO BE NICE 

In the last few weeks I've seen many people around me and just on the streets been down and not quite there self's 

I can honestly say it really cost noting to simply smile at someone or say hi 

if YOU  are in work or in school college or maybe just out for a walk or coffee 

We as humans can sense when people are down or maybe have something on there mind

Some times just asking someone are YOU OKAY

Can make them feel that bit important 

a smile 

Or have a nice day 

can make all the difference to someone 

I tell my little girl all the time never be mean to any one and always play nice and make everyone feel welcome 

as we say

IT'S NICE TO BE NICE 

We are nearing and nearing to those winter months 

and the season that is full of joy and love 

but for some it's a sad time.

I think society sometimes forgets about actually haven a conversation with someone and getting to no new people instead of been on our phones All the time 

me included 

I wanna make some one feel a bit better today even if it's just a smile 

so I hope that today we all can be a little nicer to each other 

a smile a hi goes a long way

On this Wednesday 

say to your self.

IT'S NICE TO BE NICE 

THANKS FOR READING 

LOVE

STRONG NOT SKINNY

Hello you guys

☆Happy Monday☆

What a gorgeous morning here in Ireland today 

The sun is out and always puts a smile on my face 

So as ye can tell by the heading 

🔝🔝🔝

This blog is about society changen there ways which I absolutely love

For such a long time every time I went onto social media or looked at a magazine all I saw where skinny girls diet, basically eating noting 

Skinny is best 

WRONG 

In the last two years I really truly belive society has changed there views on been skinny to been healthy and strong 

Most people can agree me been included going the wrong way about been slim.

Skipping meals then pigging out on absolutely crappie bad food

Haven no energy bad skin no drive 

After I had my daughter I found it so hard to loose the weight 

I never struggled with my weight so it was all new to me I was so down I started walking/running excessively barely eating enough thinking this is the right way to loose the weight

Did it work 

Honestly yes 

Did I feel absolutely crappie all the time

Yes

Did I have energy

No

Point been it was totally a bad diet or not even a diet 

I didn't respect my body or the good foods you can fuel your body with 

I no for teenagers growing up in this time must be a lot harder 

All the social media networks 

Fashion 

Makeup 

New trends 

It wasn't like that when I grew up

But I think it's great when I go onto insta snapchat Facebook twitter 

And see and hear people eating great food going gym working out 

Posting there meals

And most of the time it's 6 meals a day 

(Small meals)

I feel this has got to be the best way 

Be strong be healthy 

Have a great diet 

I wake every morning now instead of just a coffee I have my porridge and bannana and seeds 

Every morning Im looking forward to my breakfast 

I love my food I love knowing what I put into my body there are so many meal plans out there now for pancakes healthy currys you can see girls eating big meals but working out also and looking amazing 

I love seen girls posting pics of them self been underweight to been healthy and strong now 

It's a great message to all the young girls growing up

Including my little girl 

I want her to grown up to look after her body and be happy

Mussel is all in ladies 

Be strong no matter what Shape or size be a size 6 but be healthy and strong be a size  12 and be healthy and strong 

You will see the difference with skin hair and your energy 

Let's keep changen society for all the little ladies that are still young 

Let the little girls growing up now have a totally different view on there body's and hopefully when they are our age they will be a big change in society totally 
and they will truly be healthy and strong.

Now when I eat crappie food on a cheat day I no it won't last a month I get back to eating good the next day and work out 

And feel a lot better with myself 

Every one deserve a cheat day never be to strict on yourself 

hope ye enjoyed this little blog 
until next time 
have an awesome day 
love Melanie

☆FLARES ARE BACK☆

Happy Friday morning 

Hope everyone who follows me has that Friday feeling 

It's not a great morning so far here in Ireland dull and raining 

Just another irish day

But let's  get down to what this blog is about 

FLARES ARE BACK 

I've been constantly seen pictures of flares popping up on the Internet and social media

So I wanted to show you a few of my favourite flares I've come across from shops and online stores 

personally I'm love love loven the styles I've come across 

especially to match them with hats

Just loven the look

Trends always come back into fashion

But style isn't something  we have to go by 

style is what you make it and how you mix and match.

I can't wait to start  seen more flares in stores 

I work in retail  (Riverisland)

So I no we have new season of flares hitting stores and I'm liking what I'm seen

So are you  guys liken the back in trend flare 

or do ye wanna leave it back in the dustbin ?

Here are a few of the flares I've  picked to show ye exactly what is around at the moment enjoy you guys
