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.

My First Croke

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 [...]

Today is Blog Action Day, so in that spirit I’m bringing you this post from the Climate Changing Room*. We’ve all heard about climate change and have seen quite dramatically (especially in the last few weeks) how changing weather patterns are impacting communities across the world–especially those that are least equipped to adapt or respond [...]

Back to school: Flea Finds (part 1)

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. [...]

Sweet little ensemble of some newly acquired duds. I was trying to soak every last sun ray from summer by pairing this vintage white linen pleated skirt with a cute calico cotton top. The skirt came from American Apparel’s vintage section (on the mezzanine of the Dublin store) They have some great finds at incredible [...]

Back to School: Thrift

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 [...]

I wore this dress to a recent wedding in Glendalough. I really love this dress–it’s definitely a lesson in thrifty style. I picked up the dress during the Christmas sales for €200 off and added the deep purple sash from another dress. Just a few days before the wedding I found the wrap that matches [...]

Buy My Dress

The Down Syndrome Center told me “Buy my dress” and I said, “OK!”
Today on my lunch break I headed out the Royal College of Physicians to peruse the racks of “lightly loved” dresses donated by ladies across Dublin for Buy My Dress, a fantastic fundraiser to aid the Down Syndrome Centre.
I picked up a sweet [...]

Spring Cleaning
February 16th, 2009 · No Comments · Shop Thrift
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 [...]

On the Hunt for Vintage Dublin
February 4th, 2009 · No Comments · Shop Dublin, Shop Thrift, Shop Vintage
I’m new to Dublin and a bit obsessed with finding a great deal for my fashion fix—this is a recession after all. So for my first city market, I decided to hit up the Toejam Carboot Sale—a semi-regular event (in desperate need of a new name) that gathers some of the best vintage, thrift and [...]
