White and Peach

There is nothing more fulfilling than a spontaneous shopping spree. I had one of those days on Saturday and now..I am on a serious budget but it was worth it! First stop was Penny's and I made the mistake of not grabbing one of those "basket/bags. Sandals and Batiste and tops were falling out of my hands running searching for something new and pretty! The first item to catch my eye was this pretty peach skirt with white hearts. The photo doesn't really capture the precise colour but is a light peach colour! The material is a soft cotton (mixed with a bit of acrylic) and it has an elasticated waistband. 

I paired this with a tshirt which was on sale from Jack Wills.

Birthday Celebrations

It was my birthday yesterday, so we took off for a weekend to the West of Ireland. The sun was shining on Saturday so we enjoyed a nice walk on the beach and wandering around the shops. The evening was spent in a restaurant called "Artisan", which served delicious food. I was treated to lots of nice food and some lovely presents.

I love birthdays and always try to make them last as long as possible - although they always seem to fly by!

This past year has been an exciting year filled with surprises and lots of fun. Looking forward to more fun adventures over the next year.

Stripes On Stripes

It's tennis season, and what I mean by that is...everytime I turn on the TV a tennis match is on. I find it really relaxing to watch. With tennis, comes fashion and you can see spectators wear their most beautiful outfits probably thinking "I might be on TV". Wimbledon brings out the celebs in their finest, and you can be sure the "Middleton" effect will explode across the courts. 

Breaking all the rules, I decided to mix stripes with stripes...and some pokadots. Nautical themed attire is perfect for the summer season. Pokadots are perfect..well for anytime really. I can't really get enough of pokadots! When I found these shoes - platform wedges - REALLY high shoes in Forever 21, I grabbed what seemed to be the last pair. As I held them in my hand, a girl was looking at me, as if to say "are you really going to buy them or just hold them for a minute?". I always seem to encounter that stare anytime I pick up something I know is pretty special. These shoes, are not something you find everyday. A mauve nude colour with white pokadots. 

The navy and white striped dress is from Jack Wills. In Dublin, there is only one Jack Wills store and it is a fabulous old building. Strolling past the window, I am always enticed by the 20% off sale signs - who wouldn't be! This dress is the most comfortable dress I own, ideal for weekends chilling out.

Dear White Dress With Floral Design

Dear White Dress With Floral Design,

I can't believe it has taken me this long to write to you but then again I procrastinate about most important things like categorising my scarves and placing them into individually labelled shoe boxes, writing to magazines hoping they might take a look at some of my writing and trying to do a fishtail plait. Am I the only person who can't? If there are other people out there who find it difficult, please share as I don't like to feel alone on this topic!

But back to you white dress with floral design.  You might recall when we first met.  You might not.  I saw you in Jack Wills and instantly saw the styling possibilities. Casual with white converse but an instant evening outfit with black heels, belt and black clutch. I couldn't justify why I needed to own a new dress as I didn't have an occasion in mind. You would be perfect at a garden party, but I am not at that age were garden parties happen very often. I struggled with this as I was only trying to fool myself with the garden party. This was definitely a dress that could be worn on a casual sunday with converse. 

Our second encounter, you were on sale in Jack Wills, and if this alleged sale didn't occur, we undoubtedly would not have met again. The 70% off popped out at me as I strolled past the window, looking for something exciting to photograph. I knew then you had the potential to become something. The potential to be mixed and matched all the while remaining effortlessly simplistic. 

Now you remain on my rail of dresses, waiting for the next venture outside.
