Word Love

There are some words that just tickle my fancy. And right now this one keeps popping into my head...


...voracious... 

...like gluttony but without the sin

Beautiful Bedroom


This attic closet is so gorgeous. 

And if this was the bedroom that it was attached to I would just be in heaven. I've always wanted a couch or huge armchair in my bedroom to curl up in and daydream.

Fifty People, One Question - Ireland

This is a wonderful short film shot in Galway city as part of the Fifty People, One Question series. It really makes you think...

I'm not going to give away the question before you watch the clip below but my answer will be in the comments section over the next few days.

Erickson Beamon


I love the idea of having a room with a high ceiling and a fabulous chandelier hanging from it. This one by Erickson Beamon is so incredibly beautiful and decadent looking. It would give a huge touch of glamour to any home.

Were Ya Born In A Barn?


I want, I want, I want.

I am loving this kitchen so much - from the wide floorboards to the kitchen stools and the ceiling beams too. You can check out the rest of this house below - isn't it gorgeous?

Confessional - A Simple Thought


My mum and I share a simple belief. 

That when a loved one dies they sometimes like to come back and visit on a sunny day, disguised as a butterfly.


If you ever spot me wearing something with a butterfly on it... it's because I want to remember someone special that day.

Things I Love Thursday


Springtime Blossoms - Just yesterday as I walked through the campus I got the most beautiful whiff of fresh blossoms. I love watching the arrival of spring, it literally appears overnight around here. Last weekend saw the arrival of the cherry blossoms on all our trees at home and they are so beautiful to look at.


Wearable Sunshine - Lately I've been dreaming of a yellow dress. I'm not too sure if a pale Irish girl can pull off this look but I am really give it some serious thoughts. Any tips or ideas on how to wear yellow without looking ill? I'm really liking the look of this one for day time and this one for evening.


A Room With Some Blue - There is something so fresh and new about a bright blue room, something that screams out for lots of sun and warm breezes to keep it from becoming too chilly. I've been thinking that a blue room might be a very beautiful place to live in.

Honourable Mentions - huge hoop earrings, real coke, my cherry necklace (thanks Raymy), beautiful desktop wallpapers to inspire me, lime and fig scented candles, tomato soup with extra Tabasco, this video tutorial, so that you never get stuck without a cd case again, weekends off, bare legs, lemon curd milkshakes and rhubarb smoothies, peacock prints

Beaches Is More Than A Movie

At one stage, when Mr T. and I still dated, he lived beside the sea on the west coast. Even though it was the middle of nowhere, with no phone reception and no broadband and very few TV channels I loved to visit and walk the beaches all day long.


I miss the beach, I miss sand under my feet, I miss the smell, I miss the sounds of the ocean crashing off the rocks, I miss the feeling of being insignificant.


I think a little spin to the coast may be in order soon. A chance to roll up my jeans and get my toes wet, to bring back a little of the seaside in the sand in my car, to get some of that gorgeous sea breeze in my hair. Some days I really lament the fact that I grew up in a land locked county and that I live in a county on the coast now with little or no beaches. 

Is there anywhere that you feel at peace? Where do you feel completely at home?

I Am A Woman

La Roux
Tilda Swinton
Annie Lennox
Grace Jones

Just some of my favourite androgynous ladies.

I have never been able to pull of an androgynous look... I am just too curvy and soft but I really admire women who can look so strong.
