Glendalough

A few snaps of Maitiú and my adventure in Glendalough, Co. Wicklow...

...where we drove along the military roads...

...followed Willy and the Wicklow Way...

...and climbed the Spink that overlooks the beautiful Glendalough valley...

....stopped for a bite at St. Kevin's kitchen...

...marvelled at the beautiful round tower...

...said a prayer in the Cathedral...

...and retired to Enniskerry for Beef and Guinness Pie.

Windy Wonderland

Bit late with this post. This was my and Maitiú's trip to Dalkey and Killiney in South County Dublin last weekend. After a feed of muffins, coffee and tea, we were set to climb both Dalkey and Killiney Hill. Although a blustery, showery day we still managed to have a spectacular day filled with seascape views, beech tree forrest and bluebells...

Chinese Flower Trail

A few snaps from the wonderful weekend I spent with Maitiú in Dublin after my first week of work at home for the summer. Suprise, suprise I'm here in the Botanic Gardens again but I don't care-this place could never get old, it's always changing.

This Sunday, we went on the Chinese Flower Trail Tour-a very pleasant day I must say, with some of the prettiest plant life I have ever seen (and would have never seen if were not for the guide!) Perfect oppurtunity then to play with a few of my Oriental inspirations for a summer outfit....

Fuisha/Coral shorts with floral print (only €3!), bird cage earrings and my Peacock Pendant (bought in New York's Chinatown)-not quintocential oriental features but there's a vague notion of it there! Also an outfit to be worked on a little ;)

I have found a new and exciting style for my hair. This is what my hair looks like after a night of sleeping with it in rags-it really works and I must say the windy day had a hard job of stealing my curl!


Oh how pretty Chinese Paeonies are! "Flowers the size of cabbages!"

Maitiú called
these the dirty hairy
grandad ears!

A laburnahm tree crossed with some other species!

The "Ghost Tree". Just beautiful.

Daisy chain making in Drumcondra Park afterwards! Maitiú fits a daisy crown well i must say!

Shoes €15, Newlook (Daisys are model's own!)

Stephen's Green Stroll

Pictures from a few weeks ago of my last evening in Dublin before the end of my second college year. Maitiú and I decided to visit the Ivy Gardens in the City Centre but as they were closed when we got for them we settle for the lovely Stephen’s Green.

The last few hours of sunlight cast a beautiful glow over the pretty spring flowers and ornate band stands.

And as it was a special occasion out with my love, I had to of course wear my yellow shoes ;)

There may have been but of shopping also....those new pieces feature in the next post....

I’m going to miss Dublin a lot this summer, and while I shall be spending my weekends there in submitting essays and moving my things back home, it won’t quite be the same...
