Mad Hatter



Hello everyone!

Hope ya'll had a good week and are having a Super Saturday! Yesterday evening I went to a GAA football match and decided that a hat was compulsory. The dreaded summer midgets are out in force during Ireland's mini heatwave. Only one of the downsides of such stellar weather. This lightweight cute hat was a firm favourite last summer and is set to be just as frequently worn this season.

The match was followed by Tapas at the wonderful Church Lane Restaurant where my friend and I ate copious amounts of delicious meats ending the night sharing a mouth watering Malteaser cheesecake. Perfection! A lovely evening all around.

So here you have it, I went for a light shirt from Primark to stay cool but sun protected. A very casual slightly boho look with black and silver accessories.

Is everyone enjoying summer so far? Whats the weather like where ye are?

Hope ye like the outfit, Happy Weekend peeps!

OOTN: Oh Shirt!


Hello everyone!

A similar phrase like my title (minus the 'r') came to mind this morning when I peeled myself from my bed. I am writing this with a heavy head this afternoon. Last night I went out for dinner with one of my oldest and dearest friends who is home from London for the week...of course I obliged in staying on for drinks...which turned to a pub crawl and finally a club. Yes, I'm weak. I am definitely the a-typical friend who WILL keep going until the fat lady sings, or alternatively until I am broke after buying drinks for EVERYONE! Always up for 'a laugh' is not always a good thing though if my bank balance and head today are anything to go by. But you know what, YOLO y'all!

Here is a snippet of my outfit, sorry the photos aren't great quality. I forgot to turn on the flash *facepalm and this was before the 4/5 (things got a lil fuzzy at that stage) Sauvignon Blanc's, ah here. I went for neutrals, not very summery but it is bucketing in Ireland at the moment so I didn't feel like being very colourful. In saying that the white shirt adds a fresh summer feel to the look.

Hope everyone's having a good weekend, and if your a little shook like myself take it easy!

OOTD: Cool Camel


Hey all!

Just a quick post on my outfit today. Today was a good day. Mom and I treated ourselves to a little shopping trip and the sun also made an appearance, double bonus! I stuck to my boho roots with lighter tones today, delighting in FINALLY being able to wear my knitted fringe camel kimono from Primark without freezing my behind off. I normally wouldn't be drawn to this 'camel' colour with regards clothes as I find it quite draining on my skin tone but with a little St. Mortiz tan I was ready to rock!. It isn't VERY warm so the warmth of the knit came in useful at times today.

I'm also happy to show ye my new prescription sunglasses. Yes I sound like an aul wan but at the moment I have an irritating (in more than one way) viral eye infection so contacts are out, booo :( I have treated myself to new glasses and sunglasses of late. The ones featured here are tortoise-shell Rayban Wayfarers and I couldn't be happier with them. As an avid sunglasses wearer I have found not being able to wear them horrible, yes first world problems indeed.

Well I hope everyone is having a good week, and hope exams are going well for those of you just starting ye're Leaving Cert/Junior Cert or any other European or World exam variations. It is a stressful time but flies in the end. It is so worth having school exams behind you and pursuing your passions, hopes and dreams.

Hope the sun is shining where ever you are! Talk soon!
