Newbridge

Pink dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's

(wow moment!)

This Sunday Maitiú's parents were very kind to bring me out for the day to the Newbridge Silver Showroom in Kildare. Currently, there is currently an exhibition entitled "Museum of Style Icons". The exhibition features garments worn by classic beauties including Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Jackie-O, Lady Diana, Grace Kelly-as you can imagine, I was in complete heaven! I'll let the pictures do the talking ;)

I've been doing a lot of thinking (and shopping!) since my last post. I am delighted and excited to spend the next few weeks finding the perfect pieces for the looks I wish to achieve-each with a different theme and influence. As seen above, I am working on my "50's Casual" look with only a few simple new pieces: Red Polka-dot head band(€7.65, Accessorize), red leather peep-toe sandals (€22.50, Urban Outfitters) and floral socks (3 for €10.80, Topshop).
If anyone gets a chance to visit Newbridge Silver take it! It's a wonderful place and the prices are very reasonable. I love my new cup and saucer (present from Maitiú), now home to my clips, earrings and rings. ;)

Apologies for the awfully dodgy photography (my camera phone was all I had with me). Roll on summer work so I can save up for a new camera!
