My First Croke
November 16th, 2009 · No Comments
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 [...]

Me and Orson Welles…and Me
November 11th, 2009 · No Comments
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. [...]

Steele Her Style

Indiana at Adored Austin started a style chain recently were she took inspiration from other gal’s style to make it her own. Well, I continued the chain by pairing a plaid shirt with a pencil skirt. I love this look and it was easy to pull together with some newly acquired super thrifty pieces and [...]

Well Happy 250th Birthday Guinness! You’ve been a great influence on my decision to move to the emerald isle (tea, scones, pints, chicken fillet rolls…what girl could say no!) So on this most celebrated day, I raise my glass to you Mr. Arthur Guinness. Thanks for signing a ridiculous lease and brewing up some of [...]

Sorry George!

So after saying that you can’t find anything at the Georges Street Oxfam shop, I found 2 great items today! After work (at the new job, yay!) I decided to stop in. I found a high wasted, mid calf (black? navy?) pencil skirt and a really cute light weight black cotton 3/4 lenght shirt by [...]

Back to School: Thrift
August 31st, 2009 · No Comments
It’s back-to-school time, and even though I’m done with higher education I am starting a new job tomorrow. So what better excuse to head to the shops to get a new wardrobe. I scored some great finds in charity shops around Dublin. My favourite shops (because of the causes) are Oxfam and Enable Ireland. Although [...]

Spring Cleaning
February 16th, 2009 · No Comments
Oxfam recently reported that sales in charity shops across the UK are going through the roof. Suddenly our favourite thrift stores are mainstream. The recession may reduce pay packets, but not our instinct to shop.
All this activity is great, as sales help support important charities and causes. But clothes are flying off the [...]
