Hello people of the internet! Today I wanted to share a recent purchase of mine. At the first ITWBN event I attended in February I came across Cotton Face. They're a vintage & apparel store based in Galway.  They also have a pretty awesome amazing online store! I was too busy mingling and taking pictures that I missed my opportunity to buy anything. I pretty much made it my mission to buy something at the May event!

Hello people of the internet! If you've been following me on various social media platforms, (like all the cool kids do) you would know that the ITWBN event was absolutely AMAZING! I have so many posts coming up about it as well as my little Galway adventures. Today, I'm talking about my *Mink&Stone Valentine's Day Necklace! I was so lucky and absolutely delighted to work with them. Mink&Stone is an online jewelry creator and store. Along with having beautiful pre-made jewelry, you get to completely create your own! 

What three things in your current wardrobe that you are calling your Spring Essentials? Let me know in the comments below or send me them on twitter @CardiganJezebel 

Til next time!

1. Bright neon yellow and green. I have been seriously into adding a bit of color into my wardrobe this year and these two are my go to colors. A pair of neon ballet flats or a neon bag never seem to fail!
2. Flower crowns and Daisy Chains. Maybe it's because of Coachella recently passing this weekend or the fact that Spring has finally sprung in Ireland. Either way, I'm dying to get my hands on one of these cute bohemian (what I'm calling an essential) accessories!
3. Pastel Nails. Even though I'm up for the bright pops of color in my wardrobe; I seem to be lowering the saturation for my manicure. Pastels are a spring staple. I'll love cool lilac tones or a coral-ly orange. 
4. Maxi Dress. Unfortunately, it isn't warm enough just yet to pull these out. I'm practically sat in front of my closet waiting for the day I can wear mine. I was in H&M the other day and their selection of three-quarter length sleeve dresses were more than tickling my fancy. 
5. Red Lips. A grunge-pop song by model Sky Ferreira. My poor boyfriend has been subjected to (almost) nothing but this song for the past three days. 
6. Scrapbooking/Journalling. When I was younger my mom was one of those people who would host scrapbooking parties and sell supplies. It isn't really a big deal in Ireland but it's something that makes me feel a bit more at home. I'm currently thinking of buying a bunch of Project Life stuff or maybe a SMASH* book. I've also started writing at least two sentences a day. It's not much, but you actually end up writing more than intended!
