Ug. I hate the title of this post, but that’s totally what I thought of as I put this outfit together. I wanted something cute and comfortable that would show off my legs as I road tested my new booties. I’m also trying to get used to my new specs so I kind of build [...]

French Knickers & Cocktails
November 18th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Style Events
I’m super excited to attend the latest Re-dress event, French Knickers and Cocktails. The name says it all–next Tuesday fabulous needle wielding ladies will descend on a Dublin bar to mix, mingle and make some frilly underthings.
I didn’t even know you could make undies. If you’re going too, let me know! I’m looking forward to [...]
My First Croke
November 16th, 2009 · No Comments · Real Style, Shop Dublin, Shop Thrift
I was super thrilled to find out that my hubby got tickets for the Ireland v. France match on Saturday. It was my second ever football (in the US read: soccer) match and my first ever trip to Croke Park. I’m a girl who grew up with a football (in Europe read: American football) mad [...]

New Specs
November 16th, 2009 · No Comments · Real Style
Hey look, I got new glasses! I never thought I’d see the day when I was excited to get glasses. I’ve hated almost every minute of the 18 years I’ve had to wear specs. But after a recent visit to the optho and a severe telling off about my contact habits, I decided I needed [...]

I recently found some great vintage items at pretty reasonable prices at Wild Child, and am a big fan. They have a great selection of skirts and dresses with lots of bargains to be had. The staff are really kind and the clothes are in excellent condition.

Stripes and Snoods
November 12th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Real Style
I am absolutely loving my new snood from A-Wear. It’s soft and comfy and dresses up ordinary outfits. Plus it’s fun to say snood…snnnnnood…snooooood* I’m not sure I understand where the name comes from, but it’s not really that important (I get the S-scarf and OOD-hood, but he N?) I was inspired by MessYourHairUp’s recent [...]

Me and Orson Welles…and Me
November 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Real Style
On Monday I got free tickets to a preview of Me and Orson Welles at the IFI. It was a nice little film about Orson Welles’s band of misfit actors and artists as they prepare a play. Movie review aside (I liked it), the costumes and music from New York in 1937 inspired this outfit. [...]

Leather!
Chris and I celebrated our 3 yr wedding anniversary at the end of October, which happens to be the leather anniversary. I got the wonderful 14″ yellow satchel from Cambridge Satchels I hinted at earlier (thanks again to WIW for introducing these fantastic bags)
This bag is excellently constructed, bright and cheery, and big enough to [...]

Up and Away
November 8th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Real Style
I don’t really like wearing jeans any more, but a laid back Sunday spent at the cinema and running errands calls for comfort. It was actually I really nice day today (no rain!). The hubby and I headed into town early today and enjoyed a coffee while strolling through the empty streets (such a delight!) [...]

Roadtrip Recap
November 8th, 2009 · No Comments · Real Style
You read what I planned to wear on my wardrobe, and here’s the recap. Thanks to some torrential downpours, insane allergies and a less-than-enthusiastic photographer husband, I didn’t get the best outfit shots. I really liked all the outfits I wore, so I’ll probably wear them again and will get more detail shots later. (Day [...]
