Found at Dublin Flea – November
November 29th, 2009 · No Comments · Shop Dublin, Shop Thrift, Shop Vintage
Today was a pretty good day for the Dublin Flea and I managed to walk out having spent only €11. I think my husband actually spent more (on a bunch of books and a T-Rex keyring). There were loads of new sellers this month, many of them with high quality vintage goods (some for a [...]

On my lunch break today I swung round to the Swap Shop to benefit the An Taisce Tailors’ Hall restoration project. It is a stunning building and I’m so glad to see it’s getting a new lease of life. The swap shop proved pretty fruitful for me. I spent €40 and walked away with a [...]

Ug. Monday morning. Woke up late. Still raining. Black on black really summed up my mood this morning. But as I started accessorising, I started to perk up a little bit.

Blown Away

What is up with this weather, Dublin? My penthouse (read: top floor) apartment is buckling in the wind. I thought I’d do some cute coy poses with an umbrella yesterday and instantaneously lost my umbrella. What the resulting pics lack in style they more than make up in hilarity.

Happy Birthday To Me!
November 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Real Style
Yesterday was me birfday, and what a day it was. I had a full day planned including Ages of the Moon at the Abbey (fantastic), Wax Museum Plus (unusual), cocktails at M&S rooftop (seriously), dinner at Bloom Brasserie (delicious), coffee at Bewleys (caffeinated) and drinks with friends at The Church (holy). I wanted to look [...]

I had a banner day at Enable Ireland yesterday. Along with the aforementioned embroidered top, I also got a cute striped cropped sweater (will debut next week) and this perfect little paper suit case! Not bad for a quick trip during my lunch break?
It is in perfect condition and was an unreal price of €1.50. [...]

Listen up rain, I’ve just about had enough. I appreciate your reprieve today (especially since I had the day off), but would like to see a bit more of dear old sun. To show you my gratitude in taking a break today, I give you colour.
