The long awaited opening of H&M's flagship store on College Green has finally arrived. I had been anticipating this event for a quite a while, so I definitely wasn't gonna miss the official opening at 6pm, on Thursday gone by. The Swedish-born store has quite a few stores throughout the country already, even in Dublin City Centre, with a store on Henry Street and South King Street, but regardless there was still a massive turnout for the opening of the brand's new flagship store. A few socialites and celebs made an appearance too, such as Amy Huberman, Vogue Williams, Nadia Forde, Leanne Woodfull, Darren Kennedy, Glenda Gilson, Louis Walsh and Nicky Byrne. I managed to bag myself some celeb selfies too, so keep reading to find out more!! The first 500 people in the queue were blessed with wristbands entitling us to 25% of our purchases, along with many more freebies throughout the experience. The store is spread across 4 floors.

So it's becoming really difficult to be as active as I would like on 'Taylor Made' with everything going on at the moment, but I had to make an exception as it's the 1st of December and its officially  CHRISTMAS season!!

The project was submitted at 9.30am on Friday the 28th of November, leaving us with the rest of the day to ourselves. Friday the 28th was conveniently 'Black Friday' too, so we felt we definitely deserved a treat or two. I've had a few things on my Wardrobe Wish list for quite a while now

So it has been over a month since my first post... and I'm really pleased with how 'Taylor Made' is going. I'm not really sure if I'm fully settled into what I'm doing, but I know that it will take a certain amount of time to find my own style. Life has has been mental over the last month. Of course, I chose probably the worst time of the year to finally set up my blog and begin writing. The summer holidays came to an abrupt end with that usual stress of house hunting. That dreaded feeling of feared homelessness for the year was in the air, but fortunately for us, we ended up finding a apartment literally around the corner from college... 30 second walk, no exaggeration. With that major factor sorted. It was only a matter of moving up and settling back into college... much easier said than done. Moving up was simples. One car, packed to the roof with an excessive amount of unneeded belongings and there I was, plonked back in the big shmoke and ready to start t
