Fashion

Navy and white is such a great combination  whether it's an outfit or decor.  It always looks so fresh and chic.

I think the time has come to put away the summer outfits and take out the boots and jumpers. I have not decided what I need for my winter outfits yet. I can never excited about winter clothes.

Very excited my son arrives home from his summer in California today.  Looking forward to his good humour, fun and chat.

I am away for the weekend it is difficult to pack for this time of year it is a combination of white trousers, jeans, t shirts, jumpers and fleeces a real irish weekend bag.

Have a lovely weekend.

Weekend

It's the weekend yippee I have not even unpacked from my summer holiday and I am packing again for a weekend away. But how the weather has changed here you can definitely feel autumn on its way.

It is almost time to pack away the shorts, vest tops, sandals and kaftans sob sob I am as I have told you before a summer girl at heart and find it difficult to get excited about winter clothes.

I thought I would should some outfits I like that suit this in between time.

Have a lovely weekend

A long sleeved striped top with white trousers works well

The pink shirt and wedges are perfect

A denim shirt with a long skirt is perfect

The leopard pumps work so well here

Any stripey top with a touch of red and a chunky necklace

White and beige with the big bag. This looks so chic

Summer

It has been one of thoese summers that merories are made of. The weather has been fantastic and life has been good. Dunmore East is such an amazing little village that offers so much to do. You would need to be a real grump not to have a smile on your face every day.

My days have been filled with walking the dog, playing tennis, swimming and just spending my day outside being active.

The garden is in full bloom at the moment and is covered in butterflies and dragon flies both are very therapeutic to watch.

I have eaten fish or salad almost every day and would probably be much healthier if only for the odd glass of wine. My husband is down on holidays for 2 weeks so it is great to have some company other than a dog in the house. Countdown to returning to reality is just around the corner.

I hope you are all enjoying this lovely summer. 

Cannot beat this tennis court and it's view.

Holidays & Technical Difficulties

Apologies for my silence but my internet connection is poor combined with little or no phone signal it is virtually impossible to communicate. If I have not commented it is because it can take up to 30 mins to write a comment as the connection keeps dropping. In some ways it's good to be without technology as you read more, walk, garden etc but in many ways it's a little frustrating.

So I hope I manage to post this.

I have been so lucky the weather is simply amazing and my days are spent outdoors from walking on the beach to painting , eating outside and of course sitting under my umbrella looking at blogs and reading,

I thought I would do a seaside post.

Just love this look

My morning walk

The plants are loving this sun

Love the combination of patterns

I am living on fresh seafood

This is similar to me each day shorts, sandals, tshirt and hat.

So very true

Have a fun weekend

Happy 4th of July

Hope all my american friends plus my son are having a wonderful 4th of July.

It's a very wet day so I am stuck on the couch watching Wimbledon. I am not really a soccer fan so the odd soccer match is enough for me but I do love the atmosphere and great tennis matches at Wimbledon .  It is one of my ambitions to go.  My friend was there yesterday and said she did not know whether to watch the tennis or the style which was amazing.

In honour of the 4th I thought I would do a little red, white and blue post.

Happy 4th of July

Such a pretty dress

Such a perfect top

Holiday

I am down in my holiday home for a one month holiday. I am hoping the weather will improve again as this week has been a little wet.

I pack my car to the brim and myself and rocky head down.  I bring most of my house because I love to cook, read cookbooks, paint, do yoga and play tennis.

It does take a little time to get used to being on your own and yet in many ways it is a good thing that maybe we should all do from time to time. Of course my husband comes down at the weekend and for holidays which is a great thing.

Last weekend was busy here with a triathlon and a food festival so it was a very busy village indeed.

We planted the garden so it flowers slightly later than Dublin so the garden is just about to come into full flower and looks great.

Hope you are having a good summer.

Wet Dublin

We went to Elbow concert unfortunately it was outdoors but the rain was light. It was held in The Royal Hospital Kilmainham a gorgeous venue.

They are playing at Glastonbury this weekend.

Sunshine in the garden

A new purchase from the food fair . The leaves are very silvery in reality.

Some lavender to plant

The garden is certainly green

This is what I plan on wearing this weekend.
