Clothes shopping is generally a great experience, but sometimes it can leave us feeling down and often quite angry (just me?). Last minute is the worst, there is just no time to waste. You have one day to turn your wardobe from zero to hero. Here are the most annoying things that can happen while outfit hunting on a Friday for your Saturday night outfit...
1. Make-up stains
Tan and orange foundation should be banned from fitting rooms altogether. "Wow don't I look fab in this Sally Hansen soaked bodycon?"
2. When it's reduced and you realise it's an imperfect item
Ohhhhhh it has a huge rip down the front and a broken zip so that's why it is now €55 instead of €60. What a great €5 reduction for risking looking like I've been predrinking with Freddy Krueger.
3. A person beside you also eyeing up the last size 10
Just gotta subtly knock them aside with your Kim K booty.
4. "The items on the floor are the only ones left"
Ummm yeah but the cream won't go with my white heels so can you please go look just incase before I sprawl across the floor and burst into tears?
5. Not being able to find ANYTHING
What am I going to wear now? My communion dress? School uniform? An outfit I wore last month?! That's it, I'm not going.
Soooo I haven't written one of these in a while which is surprising because there has been a lot going on in Celeb land recently!
Firstly, my heart goes out to Kourtney Kardashian and her three kids over her shock split with Scott Disick. What are your views? I think it's very easy for the rest of us to say she deserves better but at the end of the day it must be very difficult for her, she has been with him for almost a decade and she must love him.
I hope Scott will sort out his partying lifestyle and no matter what happens with himself and Kourtney I hope he still gets to see their three children. However, I think he needs to be careful of how his behaviour is affecting them because Kourtney will not want a bad influence around her children, especially after how angry she must be over those controversial Chloe Bartoli photos. I'd say she wants to kill him!
And as for Kris saying she still wants him on Keeping Up With The Kardashians? Ummmm I think your daughters happiness is the most important thing here Kris. At least Kim and Khloe have been spending time with her to try to lift her spirits, sister goals <3 Rumour has it Kanye has also told Scott he needs to get his act together, this is why we love Kanye! Despite all the family drama, Kim and Kourtney no doubt had a great day in Disneyland for Penelope's birthday, it's a shame my invite got lost in the post...

In other father news, I nearly choked on my tea when I saw a headline that Louis Tomlinson has a baby on the way. And it isn't with me before you just presume that it is (I wish!). That woman is so lucky! Apparently her name is Briana and they aren't in a relationship but are both very excited.
I can't stop thinking about poor old Eleanor though, that must be tough on her since they only split up this year but had been together for three years.
A source told HollywoodLife.com “Eleanor was shocked when she heard the news and kind of sick to her stomach,” “It’s not like they had been broken up for long! Louis mom broke the news to her — they’re still very close. This is not the kind of news any ex-girlfriend wants to hear, especially when you dated someone for so long and then the next person who comes along ends up getting pregnant," they added.
Well you can't really blame the girl for being devastated, especially since he has three other woman currently on the go who are all equally shocked. Maybe you need to tone down the crazy single life a bit Louis? He hasn't confirmed anything yet though, so lets not get into too much of a panic people. What a Dilf though, there is really no denying that...

On a totally different subject altogether, I feel so bad for poor old Cheryl Fernandez Versini and all the criticism she is getting over her recent weight loss. Nobody knows what she has been going through or the circumstances surrounding it so I really wish people wouldn't be so quick to judge. She has been mourning the loss of her father-in-law so she really needs support more than anything right now. I still think she looks gorgeous.
As always though, the feisty singer was quick to defend herself, posting on Social Media: "You have no idea what I have been through. Just loosing my father in law v recently and everything that comes with that. Not that I am or should justify myself to anyone. But I am so sick of people thinking it's ok to be mean or body shame anyone. And it's always woman on woman. Have some respect and maybe think there may be reasons why before opening your mouth please." You tell them Cheryl!
I don't even need an opening paragraph for this, we've all been there and are still recovering from the emotional trauma of it, but on the off chance you've forgotten, here are seven of the stages of creeping on an ex-girlfriend! Don't worry, I guarantee she's done it to you too... 1. "Ohhhh we forgot the underscore after her first name"
Actually, just creep off your friends phone altogether, it's way too risky on your own.
2. "Mum you can't zoom in on Instagram!"
And no her hair does not look nice in picture number 253, mother you are delusional.
3. "Girls it's okay, she is definitely wearing a Penneys maximiser bra in that one!!"
Not that we know what the straps are like on those or anything...
4. "Just went creeping and she's actually really pretty!"
What do you mean 'yeah she's grand'? That was clearly a test?
5. "I know we're having a romantic night in but quick question, was that quote on her Insta aimed at you?"
Over-dramatic love quotes are only okay when I post them...
6. "I don't creep on her that often, but I noticed you liked her selfie exactly 87 days ago, what was that about?"
I updated my profiler that day to a super cute pic with my cat which you didn't like but whatever...
7. "DEAR GOD I TAGGED MYSELF IN HER PROFILER BY ACCIDENT!"
How do I delete my account and do Cork airport do direct flights to Peru?!
I usually go out every Saturday night, and for some reason it seems like everytime the bouncers wreck my head, anyone else feel like it's just like having one of those arguments with your dad that you're never gonna win but you keep trying anyway? Well I do. Sure you have to love them!
I always get asked the same thing every week without fail:"Do you have other shoes to wear?" "No." "Okay but you have to wear them next time." So anyway next time comes around and he says the exact same thing again. Shocker. But honestly, do you really think this dress would look good with flats? Erm, I don't think so Mister. Bouncers can never appreciate the time us girls put into our outfits. If I showed up in Louboutins or Valentinos would they still ask the same thing? Can they not see that those few extra inches remove pounds from my thighs and make my legs look longer in general? I shaved for this...
Another thing I can never understand about bouncers is how they let in girls who are clearly 14 but spend forty minutes examining my real 19-year-old ID as if I don't deserve to be there. Um hello? The guy I'm in love with is currently on the prowl in the building behind you and you're wasting valuable time wondering whether that's me on the age card or my sister. For the record, it's me, it was my sister about a year and a half ago, maybe that's why you're confused.
The worst part is when you're told: "Go have food and sober up then I'll let you in" Oh I need to sober up? You just looked at my fab contouring, Kylie Jenner lipstick and perfect eyebrows and still won't let me in, I think we all know the one not in their right mind here. Look at me, I'm fab.
Oh them, not the most considerate creatures in the world...
The shopaholic within me took full advantage of the sales today when I went into Clonmel. I couldn't believe how many shops had such great sales on and I couldn't help myself going a bit crazy...
I decided to share what I got with you guys, hope you enjoy :)
DV8
I always love having a browse in DV8. They have 70% off at the moment and I almost lost myself in the selection of jewellery. So many bargains, so little space in my bedroom! Anyway, I'm pretty sure I've yet to discover I'm secretly a mermaid and could not leave this quirky Hummingbird necklace for only €7. Just look at all that glitter!
Now
I have wanted a bralet for months and finally picked one up in Now. I chose the gorgeous mint colour and can't wait to see how I will style it. It was reduced to just €12 from €20, so pop in soon ladies! I love looking around Now for pieces to complete my Saturday night outfits. Definitely one of Clonmel's clothing treasure chests.
River Island
Major news, apparently River Island have a huge sale on tomorrow, eeeek! Fighting mode at the ready, no time for messing in the RI sales! I always complain I don't have any going out tops and luckily was treated to these classics today, one is off the shoulder and the other is very low cut. Both crop tops, and you can't go wrong with black. €13 each. Simple, yet timeless.
I have too many beauty products in my room to count, but lately, I really am loving Garnier. My skin has been so clear lately and I feel a lot more confident going make-up free. It has a burst of moisture back and I don't feel as self conscious about it anymore.
At the moment, I am LOVING the Micellar Cleansing Water. I had been hearing about it for months and had to try it. I picked mine up for just €2, what a bargain!
It doesn't require rinsing afterwards, which is a great for us ladies who love our nights out but not the time consuming make-up removing routine afterwards. Let's face it, that's always a killer! I keep mine beside my bed.
It is suitable for sensitive skin and can be used on the eyes, with no overwhelming smell. It really is like normal water. I would really recommend this to cleanse and remove make-up.
I have already written about my love for Garnier Moisture Match moisturiser and I am standing by it. I am still using the one for dry skin and it really is doing what it promises, I apply this morning and night, after the Micellar cleansing water. My face feels so clean, smooth and refreshed after it.
Putting time towards caring for your skin really is worth it, my routine is quick and effortless, but very effective, and I plan on sticking with Garnier products for a very long time. If all of that isn't convincing enough, both products are pink so it's like I have a cute matching skincare set. I can be such a girly girl sometimes...
Now I'm not about to go on a "can't trust anybody" rant, but at this stage in my life I decided a blog post about true friends is a good idea. We all go through life making and losing friends, and as we get older we look back at the not-so-loyal ones that crossed our paths and ask ourselves why we were friends with them for so long. That's just life I'm afraid, you live and learn.
Every girl needs her girlfriends, even if you don't see each other as much as you would like. They are the sisters we choose and their differences are what make such a good friends group. It is very upsetting to think that some girls aren't lucky enough to have them. I know I would be lost without mine. At this stage in my life I am getting rid of negativity and keeping my true friends close. You know deep down which friends are true friends. For example, if there is one who is always jealous and putting you down, don't ignore the warning signs. Do you really want her standing among your bridesmaids in 15 years time? Didn't think so.
Here are the five types of "friends" you should definitely start distancing yourself from...
1. The sneak
She is nasty, but others rarely see it. Always coming out with sly remarks to put you down but usually hiding it with an overly girly laugh or smile.
2. The user
"This is why I love you, you give the best advice!" Well you didn't seem to love me for the past six months when you had zero time for me in your hectic schedule and forgot that I existed...
3. The jealous one
Usually acting weird when you get a boyfriend, getting moody all the time and showing no interest in your adventures from over the weekend. Friends are supposed to be happy for you, always remember that.
4. The backstabber
Yeeeeah, I had planned on snogging the face off him like I told you for the past year while I've been head over heels in love with him, but please continue, I didn't mean to interrupt....
5. The stirrer
"Ah here you're my friend, I obviously did not tell anyone you look like a camel? She made that up." Some people are very good at twisting stories!
