Buy My Love


If any one feels like giving me an early birthday present I would not say no to this beautiful apple tree necklace from A Box For My Treasures.

Pretty Girl Friday



This Fridays Pretty Girl Award goes to Bonzie Crotty, from Bonzie Designs.

It was only when I saw her yesterday at the Artisans Craft Fair in Limerick that I remembered how gorgeous this girl is.

Things I Love Thursday


Finding Friends - I haven't gotten to see the girls from Bonzie Designs in ages and today they will be in Limerick for the Artisans Craft Fair! So excited! Can't wait! Overusing exclamation marks!


Bright Eyes - Sometimes you just need a little pop of colour on your face to lift everything when your day just seems dull and drab. A sweep of jade, a flick of turquoise, a smudge of sunshine yellow. Go on, put some summer on your face.


Bank Holidays - What's your plans this weekend? I'm starting off with a little work back home on Friday night and Saturday afternoon, but heading down to Cork city ofter work to see friends that I have neglected for way too long. The Irish Outdoor Nationals are on Sunday but I'll only be there as a spectator this year (stupid injuries). And hopefully the day will end up in a bar in the city with an archery darts tournament. Recovery and a return to Limerick on Monday.

Honourable Mentions - good movies with good friends, coral anything, pineapple jam, my arm finally beginning to heal, shopping days with my mum, straw hats

Things I Love Thursday

Bangles - Wrists full of huge, over the top, jangling bangles. All the way up to your elbows. Keep your eyes peeled at car boot sales and second hand stores for volume. The more the merrier.

Plain White Tees - For many years I shunned the white tee, the white vest, the white shirt, the white anything to be honest. I was too careless to not spill something down the front, too colourful to wear something as plain and dull as white. But times change, white is seen through my eyes as fresh and crisp. To the sales - to stock up on the basics that I always should have had.

Fred - The band, the legends, the great night out in Galway city last weekend. Upbeat, energetic and always a joy to watch. Check out their site for more info.


Honourable Mentions - my archery target brooch from Ruth, having a little colour on my cheeks, fun flirty texts, sun showers (I'm trying to see the good side of them), fresh strawberries

What about you? What do you love?

Wednesday Wish


Something sweet and pretty for your Wednesday my dears.

I had a little accident over the weekend when I slipped on some concrete stairs and landed on my back but another few days and I should be right as rain again.

So my wish this Wednesday is to heal a little quicker.

Here's a *big squishy virtual hug* to all my readers

Pretty Girl Friday

This weeks Girl Friday goes to Kate Hudson for two reasons.

1 - She is incredibly vivacious and witty.
&
2 - All they guys picked Heather Graham over Kate in a poll last week as to who they thought was prettier. They claimed that Kate was too flat chested. Well I disagree, you do not have to be large chested to be considered pretty. Kate is beautiful and that is a damn good reason to be my Girl Friday.

On a side note - Pretty Girl Friday is a take on Robinson Crusoe's Man Friday. It does not indicate that I am more interested in women than men Mike.

Things I Love Thursday


Freshly Dyed Hair - Do you know the feeling you get when you look in the mirror and just can't quite put your finger on why you're not crazy about your reflection? You look at your skin, it's good, your eyebrows, neat and tidy, teeth are clean, eyes are bright and have a little sparkle in them... what is it??? A box of dye, a friend who can reach the bits at the back and a night in and you are transformed. Now your reflection has a little more colour in it :)


Late Night Conversations - Alarm goes off at 7.30am, bleery eyed I turn it off and roll over for just five more minutes. Can't figure out why I'm so tired... and then I remember... Wasn't I up talking to someone until 2.30am??? And I do the same thing the next night too.


DIY - I got an idea this week. I have a great, pretty comfortable pair of sky high wedges but they are a little worse for wear after two years. So I hit the back garden armed with some newspaper and a can of matt black spray paint. Three coats, and more drying time than I thought, later I am the proud-as-punch owner of a new (to me) pair of sexy black wedges. Go me!

Honourable Mentions - Grey Barry M nail polish, Haribo Star Mix, THIS DIY laptop bag tutorial, Heading to the Galway Arts Festival this weekend

Wanna Feel Old?


Is anyone else looking forward to the next Harry Potter movie?
Can you believe that the series is in it's ninth year! Wowza... I think I feel old now.
