MONT ROYAL

Today I went to Mont Royal, primarily French speaking part of Montreal. Aside from being the cutest and prettiest place I've explored so far, it is also Vintage heaven. Here are some snaps of my day out and the vintage treats I came across.





Endless amazing variety, at astonishingly reasonable prices!



Beautiful sheer pink dress, very American Apparelesque :)



Cutest Fruit and Veg store, I love Autumn.




Love this shirt and it was only ten dollars.




Endless selection of vintage one of a kind dresses, when I say this store was vintage heaven I really mean it.





Retro Volkswagen van to add to my day of vintage delights.

Bicycle, bicycle you are my bicycle!

Had a wander around Chinatown in Montreal today and while doing so I spotted a beautiful red Vespa. I of course could not ignore my inner child and resist getting on it. x

Bon Voyage!

Dress- Gary Pepper Vintage, Satchel- Asos, Brogues-Primark.







The time has come. Bye, bye Ireland.

Dog Days Are Over

The departing has begun, we have all set our sights on bigger and better things.
Here is a colourful display of my best friends last few 'Dog Days' in Eire.




Ali's playsuit is from ASOS and only cost 15euros-absolute steal, my dress was originally my sisters but it was to small for her so I set my beady eyes on it anyway, its from Primark, costing a whopping 14euros!









Ring-Penneys, Earrings-River Island


Not the greatest photo of me, but yes I am having a love affair with my cat!

Last day of magic!

After finishing my dissertation I've been giving it loads with regards going out. So much so my poor hair has been suffering the consequences of heat styling. I am very much all about my hair and spend a lot of money maintaining it and ensuring it's healthy. I abused it for years and learnt my lesson the hard way; it was split, broken and in bloody bits. Anyway I used a really good treatment in it the other day to bring it back to life and as a result of my alcohol induced trance, didn't wash it out properly. As a result I had to make a makeshift hair style for going out to dinner last night and LOVED IT!
Voila!

Closed Chapter!

I am a day a way from the completion of my dissertation and it is exactly a month today that I leave to begin a new adventure in Montreal, Canada. As much as I've moaned about doing my dissertation, the time spent doing it, the weekends abstaining from alcohol substituted by walks on Kilcoole beach have proved to be very therapeutic. I've finally got my head round and accepted a lot of things that have happened bad and good, I'm ready to move on and am content. Here's to a much needed fresh start :)

Taurus by month, Taurus by nature!

As I'm born the end of April that makes a Taurus. I am the definition of a Taurus. I know a lot of people think that star signs are bullshit, but for me the characteristics and traits that are said to come with different signs are shockingly true.
Anyway because I am a devout Zodiac follower I purchased this Taurus necklace. It's from Topshop and goes well with pretty much anything.

SOMETIMES THINGS GET COMPLICATED!

My life is so complicated, busy, stressful and changeable at the moment. Everyone is going there separate ways, others will never change or leave the nest.Earlier today I saw something that I would rather not have seen, I am jealous by nature so I'm going to try and not let it bother me. Men never seem to surprise me, grrr!
On a lighter note my friends band were playing in Crawdaddy on Tuesday, with hopes of being chosen to play at Electric Picnic. Although they weren't chosen, they were still bloody brill. I danced like a mofo and undoubtably made an ass of myself but I really needed to let off some steam. Here are some snaps x















Lace Top-Topshop, Skirt-H&M, Satchel-Vintage, Lips-Lady Danger by MAC, Ring blogged on its own-Hong Kong

Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together!

I haven't blogged in ages as I have been seeking sanctuary from Ireland in my family home in Florida. Hence why the name of this post is the first line of Simon and Garfunkels America. I had a great break, great family time, beautiful weather, beautiful new purchases and a bit too much beautiful food.

Rolling Stones "Winter"

I know its early July, but I love this song. Have had it on repeat the last few days. I love rediscovering songs that remind me of good times :)

Sylvia Plath

Mirror

I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions.
Whatever I see, I swallow immediately.
Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike
I am not cruel, only truthful –
The eye of a little god, four-cornered.
Most of the time I meditate on the opposite wall.
It is pink, with speckles. I have looked at it so long
I think it is a part of my heart. But it flickers.
Faces and darkness separate us over and over.

Now I am a lake. A woman bends over me.
Searching my reaches for what she really is.
Then she turns to those liars, the candles or the moon.
I see her back, and reflect it faithfully
She rewards me with tears and an agitation of hands.
I am important to her. She comes and goes.
Each morning it is her face that replaces the darkness.
In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman
Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish.

Flower Power!

Yesterday I took some time off from my ever growing pain in the ass of a dissertation, to roam around the beautiful Powerscourt gardens which I am lucky enough to say are right on my doorstep. I also had the pleasure of the company of the lovely Jen.
Enjoy x
