While summer stocks are filling the shops I'm pulling out my winter warmers I've hardly needed to use this year until now. It must be the last little tamper tantrums of winter as it's end draws near. I'm not bothered. Black wool jumper over a summer dress with my classic knee high boots.
I like this look. It's simple and comfortable but I could go out to lunch in it. The trousers are from the sale rack in H&M and my silver shoes from Heatons I think. Whenever I wear them I wonder why I don't put them on more often!
As much as I love all the pastels and loud clashing patterns of the moment, I can't help but feel at home with my basic blacks, whites, greys and other neutrals :) They are always me!

Shoe Shoe
Head to toe is the norm but recently I've been trying to dress myself the other way around, toe to head!
With all the fabulous pictures of street styles floating around, especially all the stylish fashion week(s) attendees, I loved that many made their shoes the statement piece of their look. Here are a few interesting finds afoot on eBay (afoot, shoes, get it? Ohhh the cheese!):

Eat your heart out Dorothy! Blue is the new red! You can get them in black or gold too.
Less than €30 including shipping
Love the colours of these!

Have a great week!

I love a casual weekend when things just happen without too much planning. Movie with friends on Friday, dinner with my hubby on Saturday and a relaxing Sunday with the family and my newly acquired cold! The good out weights the bad so overall a good weekend! Hope yours was too!
I borrowed my husbands top and found it so comfortable I wore it all day! Sometimes instead of buying something called "boyfriend" whatever I should just walk over to the men's section and get the real thing!
My husband, my new favourite trousers and I all went out and had a wonderful dinner at the Cornstore on Thomas street, Limerick. We had never been and I can't honestly remember the last restaurant we went to that had such pleasant service. The atmosphere was perfect and the place was warm... a small but essential detail. I hate eating in cold restaurants! My dinner was delicious and the sticky toffee pudding was gorgeous and the biggest I'd ever seen!
If you haven't been, do try it! They are also in Cork. Check them out:
Have a great week!
A la prochaine!

Tangerine Dreams!
I dream of orange. There, I've said it! With my pale pasty skin it's not an easy colour to approach. In fact I find it rather intimidating but these days I'm drawn by all things orange and want to overcome this silly notion that I can't wear it. I have overcome other colours in the past, namely purple and perhaps this summer I might tackle yellow! So here are some lovely Internet finds mostly featuring my soon-to-be friend: orange and other treats I just couldn't leave out!

First up, this perfect little everything dress. This will surely help me in my mission to conquer orange!
Less than €20 including shipping :)
Strangely attractive so I had to show it!
Less than €10 including shipping if your up for something different!
Very VB but without the price tag!
About €30 including shipping
Perfect for summer!
Less than €30 including shipping
8VFQOqBO-MbkfOM!~~60_3%5B1%5D.jpg)
I'm walking on sunshine with these :)
About €23 including shipping
Kimono night robe. Meant for sleeping but with a belt I would totally wear this as a dress!
About €25 and free shipping :)
I love comfy jumpers and this one just makes me smile :)
It comes in red and pink hearts too!
About €20 including shipping
If I can wear this I will definitely be cured of all orange shyness!
And if I'm not feeling brave enough it comes in loads of other pretty colours.
Check them out:
About €28 including shipping.
Geometric print blazer
About €14 including shipping
Really like this one!
I intend to do a similar eBay blog with only vintage finds but I just had to include this one today!
Vintage peplum secretary dress, less than €30 including shipping!
Ok, I had to include this great vintage find too!
At about €16 including shipping it would be foolish to pass it up!
If all else fails I'm sure I could manage an orange watch!
At about €3 and free shipping you can't go wrong and it comes in 10 colours!
Well there you have it! My tangerine dreams (and a few little extras)! Let me know what you think and what colour you find hard to wear. Together, through retail therapy I'm sure there is a colour cure for all!
Have a great weekend!

La La La Limerick!
Another Monday another week but not without a little weekend review :)
Hope you all had a good weekend. We actually had, uh, what's it called? Oh ya, SUNSHINE, a rare presence these days! A perfect day for running around town, getting things done. Having left Dublin 4 years ago, you would miss all the things a capital city brings but I really love living in Limerick and it does have some great little treasures to discover. I love that everything is close and walkable in city centre with the perfect mix of shops and cafés. If you haven't been, your missing out! Limerick isn't one of those obvious cities, it requires a bit of your time and attention to appreciate it's variety but it's charm is undeniable! I intend to blog more about it in the future but for now here's some of the weekend's outfits and finds :)
Running around town I spotted these two lovely ladies. Lauren (left) and Hilary, both students at the Limerick College of Art and Design. I love Hilary's all black look with the bright punch of pink and Lauren reminds me a modern Annie Hall with her River Island blazer and lovely glasses. Thanks again for the picture girls! I really must do this more often as it's great to get ideas from others and I really don't think we get to see enough people who are NOT in Dublin. There is great style outside the capital and some of the best are coming out of Limerick so a little variety would be nice to see!
A friend of mine told me she thinks turquoise is the happiest of colours, I think I have to agree! This lovely vintage skirt is from SVP on Thomas street (€6). I always find something great there. In fact I usually need to limit myself because the more you look around the more you find things! I paired it up with my trusty tweed jacket that I've had for over 10 years now and heels from Aldo. The ring and earrings are from Penny's a few years back. If your in Limerick check out these second-hand shops for great finds: Best Second-Hand Shops in Limerick
Have a great week!

A newly acquired top from Dunnes Stores (€10) mixed with older favourites. It comes in green and grey but I'm glad I went for the orange as it's not my usual colour choice. New rings and yellow heels from Penny's on the right for €5.

Online Treats!
I do this most weeks. Browse at some lovely online treats at bargain prices. This week is mostly about accessories. The best part of an outfit is often in the small details so here are some unique and fun treats I spotted this week:
Sale soon over but I'm sure this stunner will be relisted so just stick in the item number to find it again.
About €18 with shipping
These transparent brogues are so sweet!
About €32 including shipping.
These look like candy!
I could only find them available in either yellow, green or orange but any of those would look great!
Less than €20 and free shipping :)
These come in four colours but I'm really into yellow at the moment so these are my favourites!
About €25 including shipping :)
Bold statement earrings are set to be big (get it?) and I love these ones!
About €6 and free shipping, what's not to like?
So simple yet so elegant!
Less than €12 including shipping and it will go with just about anything!
€5 for this colourful treat and free shipping!
Last but not least these gorgeous heels!
About €15 including shipping :)
I'm loving all the fun accessories on the catwalks recently and these will definitely give your outfit a little je ne sais quoi! Hope you like them as much as I do!
Have a great weekend tous le monde!
