Fashion Show In Aid Of Cancer Care West Competition!

The Els Chamber fashion show in aid of Cancer Care West is fast approaching and it is safe to say my stress levels are reaching their peek high. It is officially only 2 weeks until the big event and to help get the word out we have created a pretty cool competition on the Els Chamber Facebook page. I wouldn't mind grabbing the prize myself.

Neon And Stripes - Trend Clashing

I'm a huge lover of mixing stylish trends. It is all about using your imagination and putting something together that you wouldn't normally dare thinking about. For instance putting two bold colours, neon orange and royal blue together will definitely cause a style stir. Don't go for a plain white blouse when you can go bold! Stripes and neon are a top trend at the moment so why not go crazy and clash trend on trend. 

The sun is no longer shining but don't let that stop you!

The Els Chamber fashion show is near. HERE is a link to the Facebook event page https://www.facebook.com/events/488837394534835/ Remember to invite all your friends. Hope to see you all there - 7:15pm August 14th at the Mount Errigal Hotel.

Zara Sale Has Taken All My Money

I took a moment out of my hectic work schedule to check out the latest Zara sale and in those hazy few minutes I seem to have lost a large portion of my bank account. I'm now left almost penniless but with a brand new wardrobe. So I guess those few minutes were a few well spent. I now have monochrome, bright orange, textured quilt, and stripes added to my bursting closet. Above is all the lovely new additions I am going to take great pleasure out of wearing on a daily basis. I am also very busy organising the Els Chamber fashion show at the moment with my event manager Alannah McGhee. Remember you can purchase tickets online on the blog now! Just click into the link at the top of the blog that says "FASHION SHOW TICKETS" to purchase. The fashion show is only 2 and a half weeks away. It is for such a worthy cause and it is important for us to raise as much money as possible for Cancer Care West. Any help will be much appreciated. 

Hope to see you all there!

Bringing Vintage To Portugal

I'm finally getting down to uploading some of the pics I took when I was on my holiday in Portugal. I've been so busy this past week with work life, organising the Els Chamber fashion show and catching up with friends. What can I say I'm learning how to manage adult life and it's not exactly fun and games. As I have told you guys before I took my new Samsung camera with me on my travels and managed to snap some photos for the blog. Above I wore a vintage outfit perfect for those Portuguese summer evenings. I styled floral culottes from Little Red Vintage Liverpool with a cute crop top also from Little Red Vintage. I'm wearing sunglasses from a boutique in Lagos, Portugal. My outfit tip for the perfect holiday hair let you're hair dry natural in the sunlight to give that sun-kissed look and to add a wave keep your hair tied up while drying. I did this everyday!

Black Opal Cases - Gorgeous Unique iPhone Cases

Yesterday I received a gorgeous custom iPhone cover from the Black Opal Cases. Sinéad Mc Cahey, designer and founder of Black Opal Cases so kindly sent me one of her beauties. Each case is handcrafted to perfection from vintage finds, studs, sequins, old gems and old vintage clothing. These cases are a must have for any iPhone user. I am so impressed with the detailing, design and craft work of my fab cover. Honestly I can't wait to order more from Sinéad in the near future. Ladies you truly are spoilt for choice so check out Black Opal Cases here - https://www.facebook.com/BlackOpalCases?fref=ts

Look out for an outfit post featuring my custom iPhone cover!

Exciting News!

 

I'm delighted to announce that Els Chamber has be working with event coordinator Alannah McGhee to organise a fashion show in Aid Of Cancer Care West on August 14th in the Mt Errigal Hotel.


Cancer Care West is a dedicated charity that provides support to cancer patients and their families in the West Of Ireland in a safe, nurturing, and accessible environment. The reason for choosing Cancer Care West as our charity, is that it is a not for profit charity based in the West of Ireland providing emotional and practical support of anyone affected by cancer and helping those affected to maintain a peace of mind and quality of life. Cancer patients in Donegal often have to travel to Galway, Sligo and other places for treatment and Cancer Care West provides support all over the West Of Ireland including counties, Donegal, Galway, Sligo, Clare, Leitrim, Limerick, Mayo, North Tipperary and Roscommon. We hope to raise as much money as possible for such a worthy and loving cause. All the money raised will go directly to Cancer Care West.

 

If anyone is interested in helping at the event or would like to contribute in anyway please feel free to email me at elschamberblog@gmail.com. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ticket sales and more info will be put on the blog in the upcoming weeks.

 

Stay tuned!

I'm back

I'm back on the cold, wet ground and if I'm completely honest I've been putting off this blog-post as it feels like the final part of such a wonderful holiday. It's been a few days now since I returned to what is meant to be our summer but instead I was greeted off the plane with goosebumps and the wet Irish reality hitting me smack in the face. It's to be expected though. I'm not sure why I thought I was going to get off the plane and miraculously be overcome with 30 degrees heat. I had such a great holiday and made some truly lovely memories. Every year I go back to same little village in Portugal and every year I end up forming a bond with some extraordinary people. I spent everyday sitting by the pool without a care in the world but this was my first time going with Els Chamber on my mind. Just before I set off I invested in a Samsung camera perfect for getaways and outfit posts for my blog. An investment I haven't looked back on since. I didn't use the camera as much I had hoped but when I did I was amazed by how good it actually was and I could see the vast difference from my old Nikon immediately. I have a couple outfit posts for you coming soon. I've been busy working and catching up to speed with some projects so I must apologise for not posting as much as I should be. The next few weeks are a bit hectic at work so bear with me.

Outfit post coming in shortly so stay tuned!
