My Week In Pictures!

Just a few short snaps of what my week involved, Instagram style!

Dun Laoghaire, aka my place of work is a very pretty coastal town with a beautiful pier, perfect for walks on lazy afternoons or whiling away your lunch hour. I just had to photograph it, with the oh so pretty bandstand.

This photo is a little older but included it as it's of one of my best girls and I at my birthday a couple of weeks ago. She's a lovely.

As I've mentioned before Topshop is one of my happy places and I picked up a few items lately. I wore the dress photographed with my bestie on my birthday and am already planning the next few outfits.

I have a sweet tooth.. And caramel is my Achilles heel. Blondie brownie was just calling my name... Yum yum yum. It cancelled out my run earlier in the day but hey, it was worth it!

Fanore Beach, about an hour from my home house, is one of my favourite places I love beaches full stop but this one really is just gorgeous. Sand dunes, blue skies and sparkling water... It made for the perfect Saturday jaunt.

First Photo Diary!

Just a quick post filled with Christmas photos..I love this time of year especially now you can enjoy the lights, music and present shopping.

Lately it seems that Christmas comes earlier and more extravagantly every year but now it's only a week away we can enjoy it guilt free.

The photos are from shopping trips to both Galway and Dublin where there are gorgeous decorations on show. I love coming home to a warm open fire at Christmas and look how pretty our tree is.

Had to include a picture of Bailey my beloved King Charles and a sneak peek of one of my early Christmas presents, a black Zara coat which I have been lusting after for weeks.

Happy Christmas everyone!

Our fair city..

I had to travel up to the big shmoke for a meeting yesterday.. As always the Irish weather was unpredictable which meant choosing an appropriate outfit quite a difficult task. I got there in the end though and had quite an enjoyable day!

A trip to Dublin would not be complete without a browse around the shops and I picked up a couple of bits in Forever 21, post to follow. I also saw fabulous Kurt Geiger heels but alas my budget would not stretch that far!

Then I took the popular 46a out to Dun Laoghiare for my meeting at IMAGE magazine.  Dun Laoghaire is so pretty with various boats and fishing vessels docked in the harbour, I fell in love with the picturesque town. Charming walkways and benches dotted here and there made it very easy to indulge my inner romantic and daydream a little!

The town also has a cosmopolitan feel with numerous restaurants bars and cafes to delight in. While I love the city itself I thought Dun Laoghaire had a relaxed vibe while still keeping up with its big brother.

Here are a couple of pictures I took, as a friend of mine quipped I was an "up for the dayer". Perhaps a little bit of town mouse country mouse syndrome going on if I'm honest... I do have a yearning to move up to the capital so let's hope this dream is realised in the not too distant future!
