One year ago, I married the best man I know. Happy Anniversary to my bird!

We are currently celebrating in the south of France, but I wanted to share some pics and a wedding recap.

Weekend Recap of Cologne

Happy Monday!

The bird and I spent this past weekend in Cologne, Germany. He had a work conference for a couple days and we spent an extra couple days there exploring the city.

Here are some pics from my iPhone:

Cologne was beautiful! There were so many different areas to explore, including the Rhine River, fashion district, Cologne Cathedral and the Belgian Quarter.

We even got our first mini taste of Oktoberfest (even though Munich is the real host of Oktoberfest).

I hope you had a great weekend!

Fall Skirts

After seeing all the gorgeous skirts around the web, I decided it was time to embrace the look.

Here are some of my favorite skirts for fall:

leather skater // striped pencil // floral midi // scalloped mini // ribbed flare

I miss J.Crew.

We have dinner with friends tonight, followed by a Christening celebration for another friend tomorrow. Sunday we'll play catch up. :)

I came across this "Autumn Essentials" print & absolutely fell in love. The design details and the fall colors are gorgeous!

Plus, I think it's pretty spot on with my fall necessity picks this year:

umbrella // boots // candle // slippers // scarf // belt // lipstick // hair pins // socks

Time to stock up. Hope your week is going well! Xo

Transition into Fall

It has officially transitioned into fall in Dublin. It's colder, windier and darker already. Time to bring the fall and winter clothes back out: boots, scarves and lots of layers.

And what better place to look than Pinterest for some fabulous fall inspiration?

 one / two / three / four

Here are some of my fall favorites:

striped top // sunglasses // tank top // distressed denim // tote bag // pointed flats // Naked palette // bangles stack

I may not be ready for fall's cooler weather, but if it means all of these items hanging in my closet... I'm in!

Have a great weekend!

Weekend recap

We had a fun-filled weekend over here!

As I mentioned on Friday, Laura and I went to a fun fashion event in Dublin. You can see Laura's recap here. The event was called the Ultimate Girls Day out and was filled with pampering, fashion shows and retail therapy.

We were even lucky enough to walk home with some fun prizes! Such a fun and much needed girls day!

The bird and I also went out for a little date night at Roly's. Love discovering new spots in the city.

How was your Labor Day weekend??
