details of an outfit...

Today I am off to Dublin for my boyfriend's Graduation and I am quite excited about it. More excited than I was about my own actually. Mainly because at my graduation I had to wear uncomfortable robes and worry about falling on my ass a lot. For his graduation all I have to do is stand there and look pretty in pictures. Oh, and eat and drink and generally be merry... simple!

Hopefully I'll be able to snag a semi decent picture of the two of us to show off my outfit to you guys, but for now I thought I'd give you all a sneak preview.

Fur: H&M

Coat: My mum's

Dress: Hobbs

Shoes: Ebay

Purse: Shutterbug

golden time...

My graduation is coming up soon and my parents wanted to get me something to celebrate the importance of the occasion (so sweet!). They knew I really wanted a new watch for some time now so last week my mama brought me down to our local jewellers and told me to pick out a watch of my choice (which was harder than expected). At first I had NO IDEA what she was up to and then I slowly copped on... 

The watch I chose was a Citizen, just like my papa apparently! She is a beauty ain't she?!? Gold tone with a mother of pearl face and Swarovski crystals around the edge... It's got a big face (which I love) and it has one of those easy closed bracelet style straps so I don't end up spending hours trying to put it on (more of a common occurrence than I'd like to admit). It's so beautiful that I am really petrified I am going to damage it but my boyfriend pointed out that watches are designed to take a few hard knocks so I am too relax. He's such a smart chap! 

Oh and they inscribed it 'Love Mum & Dad' which I think is simply beautiful. You'll be seeing this baby on me A LOT!
