Green and Grey

♥ Grey Coat: M&S ♥ Grey Scarf: H&M ♥ Navy Wool Nautical Skirt: H&M ♥ Green and Grey Plaid Shirt: Penneys ♥ Navy Knit Tights: Penneys ♥ Grey Boots: New Look ♥ Striped Shopper: Tesco, DIYed by me ♥ Horsey Pocket Watch: Lulu*s ♥

This outfit really came together last minute and worked! (That usually doesn’t happen, like when I get dressed in the dark and mismatch my tights) It works because it’s an easy silhouette that mixes trends (big plaid flannel) and classic pieces (navy wool pencil skirt). I had fun playing around with photos too…

Oktoberfest

Last weekend the Husband and I took advantage of a perfect, crisp, sunny fall day at the Paulaner Octoberfest in the IFSC. How I love Oct-fest! Beer, delicious sausage, lederhosen and music in a language I can’t understand.

For a fresh day outdoors, I wore my new surprisingly well fitting black bootcut jeans, a green and grey plaid shirt, Pumas.

♥ Top: Penneys €13 ♥ Jeans: Penneys €9 ♥ Shades: Aldo $5 ♥ Necklace: Pocket Watch, Lulu*s $10 ♥ Sneakers: Puma 917 $20 ♥ Pea Coat (below): Bitten $20 ♥

That stein was really heavy, but what was I to do? It was Beer O’Clock! (as evidenced by my most favourite Horsey Watch from Lulu*s). You still have a few days left get your German fix–Octoberfest closes on Sunday October 18.

Green Dream

We just booked tickets for a wedding in San Francisco in February. I closed my eyes and imagined the dress I wanted to wear, and I swear on my wardrobe this is the dress I imagined. Le sigh…

…oh man, I really want this!

Last Days of Summer

In the last fleeting days of summer we took a drive up through the Wicklow Mountains, a perfect spot for some heather filled style shots. Isn’t the background gorgeous - a perfect setting for the bubble gum pink, spring green and navy chevron stripe dress that i scored at a Monsoon sale for €25.

Total look €87…Wicklow Mountains setting, priceless
