Accessories

Some ladies love to buy shoes or bags for me it is accessories everything from scarves to jewellrey , sunglasses etc. I think the simplest outfit is finished by the perfect accessories.

I also think they are great presents for your friends.

I cannot let this weekend go by without wishing Ireland good luck in their rugby match and hoping that Brian O'Driscoll will enjoy playing his final match in Dublin. ( For thoese of you who are not familiar with Brian he is our best ever rugby player who is retiring this weekend. He is one of thoese sportsmen who is everything that is good about sport).

Scarves are my favourite accessorie I rarely wear an outfit without one.

Really like this necklace it's probably chanel so a liitle out of my league. But the good thing is there are so many good copies of more exspensive items.

I just love the prettiness of this photo

A good pair of sunglasses is a must

I really like this necklace . I do not know where it is from.

A chunky watch.

My own favourite necklace

Brian O'Driscoll

My own personal favourite of Brian. Just look at the joy on this little girls face.

Fashion

Oh it feels like Spring is here at last . I so want to get rid of my gloves, hat, scarf and wooly jumpers. 

So just to cheer myself up I have a little pink post. I am definitely a summer person just looking at these pictures puts a smile on my face that simply does not happen when I look at winter clothes.

Are you a summer or a winter person?

I hope you have a lovely March and the sun shines and flower blooms.

Great combination with the denim jacket and shoes

 I really love this blouse I do not know where it is from

Such a feminine outfit with a lovely pink scarf belt.

Chic combination

Roses my favourites

My garden last year

This outfit is closest to what I am wearing at the moment

Blush pink is a great change from strong pink.

Lupita Nyong’o is a breath of fresh air. She is so ladylike and stylish and unlike many of her contempories ie Miley Cyrus she shows you do not need to show a plunging cleavage or wear next to nothing in order to look good.

She exudes style and has a great love for colour.

She came to light in 12 years a slave. A film my children have said is incredible if you can manage to look at the cruelty ( I am not sure I could).

She reminds me of Audrey Hepburn with a modern twist. I hope she remains unspoilt and true to her self.

Have a lovely weekend.

In 12 years a slave

Valentines

I am definitely getting old. 

I forgot to wish all my lovely blogging friends a Happy Valentines Day. Although I do not like the commercialism of the day. I do like to celebrate love and kindness.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

So in honour of this wet, windy cold day I think this picture sums it up.

Fashion

We are often having every type of weather in one day. Rain, wind, sun, sleet and snow. It is very difficult to dress for this type of weather and look good. I find my everyday look is skinny cords, boots and casmere jumpers with a scarf and that's just indoors.

So here are some outfits that I think work well and I like a little bit of colour.

Have a lovely weekend and stay safe in these awful storms.

 Lovely grey with jeans

A bright outfit

A chic wrap coat

A very smart outfit

I like the pop of leopard

Of course pink is so cheerful this time of year

Grey and white a nice combination

Trench coat essential in this rain

A camel coat goes with everything

Some daffodils to cheer me up

Kitchen

Well the kitchen makeover is almost complete. The kitchen painting is finished but I better warn you that you may need your sun glasses as it is very bright and blue.

I took the photos with my iphone but the quality is not so great (if anyone else knows the sollution to iphone fuzzy photos please let me know).

I chose two different colours for the presses one I am very happy with and one turned out to be a little too tourqoise blue for my liking so I may change it in time. But overall I am so pleased with the final result. It is so fresh and modern.

The painter I used was John Magee 08776187297. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He has a great team of professionals who are great painters with high standards and the quality of the workmanship is superb. Plus they are pleasant good humoured workers.

It is still wet, wet and cold hear in Ireland my heart goes out to anyone whose house is flooded.

Here's hoping for Spring to arrive.

This is probably the closest picture to the true colour.

The island

The blue goes well with the appliances

Larder unit

As you can see the colour changes in different lights

I love this print

I bought this light in homebase to add a little stainless steel

Have a lovely weekend.
