Bonjour eBay!

It's cold, it's wet and I have no desire whatsoever to browse for the leftover specials of the last few weeks.  I think the February end of season sales are always better anyway.  Causally clicking I came across some lovely little finds and thought I might share them with you.  In no particular order, enjoy!
Metallic Scallop T-shirt.  Classic, simple and sooooo chic!
About €15 including shipping :)



About €25 including shipping.  I just wanna hug it it's so soft looking! To my delight, velvet (not the crushed kind) is having a bit of a moment and I love the rich colour of this little number.


You'll see a lot of black & white versions (also available) of this contrast blouse but I like this green one for something a little different.
Less than €12 and free free free shipping!



Coffee - check! Friends check! Beautiful rose cardi - check!
About €20 and nothing more for shipping!
Also available in red.
Really like this one!


About €50 including shipping.
Printed jeans are meant to be big next season.  More for the risk taker so I don't think you will see the streets over run by them but whoever wears them will definitely get noticed.
These are for the brave end of my wardrobe spectrum!


A bit early for such a fresh coloured dress but I believe in being prepared!
I can't pull off all over bright yellow so this is perfect for me!
At about €15 and free shipping it's a steal!


For something more soft and girly this lace dress is perfect!
About €13 and free shipping. 
Check out the shop as a few of the nice things I've spotted were from there. 
Faux fur coat and off to the picnic! Ok, maybe not.


Last but not least, this necklace.  Not sure how do dress up that T-shirt? Voila!
Just don't go swimming or else you're a goner!
About €13 including shipping.

There you have it, my latest finds.  Hope something there tickled your interest or at least gave you some ideas.  Vievie

Look du Jour

It's Tuesday, my hubby is back at work and there is so much laundry I've had to create categories & sub-categories to maintain a sense of order! Today may be about housework but the outfit doesn't have to be!  Had a lovely weekend with friends and family and since we were invited out I didn't have to cook for the whole weekend! Yupee!  
I love the new year as I get to start a whole new agenda! I've had one every year since I was 12 and I've tried pretty much all formats under the sun.  This year I'm using this one:
 I've had Moleskin diaries for the past 4 years but this one is Irish and has all the important numbers and maps of all the major cities and I like supporting local so this little blue number will do me just fine for 2012!
Tune in Thursday as I've spotted loads of great little bargains on eBay you won't know what you want most! A demain! (See you tomorrow!) Vievie Xx

Situation 689


'This is rubbish!' he thought.
"It's like emotions equated into colour moving through one's own inner peace" he said.

Playing the game.

Clash of the Tartan

It's been a while since my last blog, sorry about that. I've been busy, haven't we all?! I recently took an automobile ride (nobody ever says automobile anymore, such a shame) to the capital (Dublin).  I can't say I miss it all that much.  I do miss all it's little fashion spots but that traffic! Went to the National Gallery.  If you haven't already been it's a lovely treat. The art, the history, the café
 and it has a great little gift shop too! Enough bla bla already, show the outfit! Here it is:


Stripe top & necklace recently acquired in Penny's, I love it!  You can do so many looks with this top! The skirt is a vintage favourite and my black suede block heels I got from a shop closing down.


It was my 6th Wedding anniversary on the 19th. Happiness still reigns so I think I'll keep him.


And now for a world premiere exclusive: The new wallpaper in my downstairs loo


Beach scenery painting by an unknown artist & voila!
It's the small things that bring the greatest pleasures!
Bonne Journée! Vievie Xx

Click & Spend!

Don't know what it is lately but I can't get enough of ebay!  Maybe it's because I don't really like shopping in the frenzy of this time of year and it's oh so peaceful to shop from home! Anyway, bla bla bla, get on with it! Here's what I spotted today:


Very Victoria B (but affordable!)
Just under £24 including shipping.  It comes in loads of colours and is the perfect canvas to bling up or wear casually... this wine coloured one is my favourite.

The perfect party shoe! You don't see much green around when it comes to shoes so I like that these are a bit different.  They do also come in hot pink.
£25 including shipping.


This lovely skirt will see you through all year around! With boots or pretty flats I can see loads of different looks with this skirt and it's only £10.15, free shipping too!

How great are these ? I just bought a pair of boots yesterday and I'm already looking for more!
About £33 pound including shipping for these beauties and they come in three colours to choose from.


About £24 pound including shipping.  Love the funky pattern.  Patterns are set to be really big this spring and this one is really versatile!


No wonder I'm running out of wardrobe space! Hope you liked these!
Happy shopping!

What I Scored Today!

It's pure miserable out but I needed to brave the elements to get some shopping done!This is what I went with:

But what I'm most delighted about was this:



An Eden Park Navy blue velvet blazer with pink lining.  This would normally retail at around €400 and I got for €10 in SVP. It still has the tags on it! - Major SCORE!

Was looking for a little something for my hubby for all the hard work he's been doing around the house and he being the mad rugby fan will surely be delighted too!
Can't wait to give it to him!
Have you scored any great deals lately? Let me know, I love happy stories!
A la prochaine! Vievie Xx
