Oh Dublin Flea, I do love thee.
I found so many amazing things at the Dublin Coop Flea Market last month, it was almost too good to be true. I went a bit mad bouncing from stall to stall collecting all my little treasures. There were several lovely people with amazing vintage jewelry at incredible prices. [...]

In my back to school work wardrobe mission, I hit the high street for those must have basics. On my list: black trousers, comfortable black heels (for the daily 15+ minute walk through Temple Bar’s cobbles), black flats and non-tshirt tops. So off I went to Dundrum Shopping Centre to visit every store, seriously. To [...]
