Date Night with Leopard Print

Happy Friday!

Here's to weekend date nights!

button down top // boyfriend denim (light or dark wash) // crystal earrings // leopard pumps // crystal necklace

I love these fun pumps. I have a pair of leopard flats (similar to these, without the tassels & these), but these pumps make me want to throw more animal print into my life.

Have a great weekend!

Midweek Musings

I finished this book last week. It was a great book and was bummed when I finished it. On to the next... any suggestions?

Found this fun link to find out your cheese horoscope. I got blue.

Last week, while my husband was away on business in San Francisco, I streamed the first 3 episodes of The Bachelor. Not quite hooked on this season yet.

Here is a list of 25 New Years Resolutions for 2014 that are actually worth making.

Happy Wednesday to you!

Pretty Inspiration

My weekend wasn't nearly as pretty and glamorous as this image, but I am loving this color palette and inspiration for Monday morning.

• On Friday, we went to see American Hustle.
It was good. But, am I the first to say Jennifer Lawrence's role may not have been suitable for her? Eek! On a nicer note, I thought Amy Adams and Christian Bale were amazing!

• I hope my kitchen cabinets look like this one day!

• After going home over Christmas, I started using coconut oil in a whole new way!
Dublin is always humid, so the climate change made my lips beyond chapped. Here's a list of other great uses for it.

Have a great week! Xo

Five Winter Favorites

one // two // three // four // five

Christmas was good to me this year. I received this top, these fabulous rain booties and a new perfume! I have been wearing each of these so often I thought I would share some of my winter favorites.

On another note, it's Friday... and it's a good one.

The bird comes back from his business trip in San Francisco today! Yay! Looking forward to surprising him at the airport and mellow weekend together.

Quick Trip to London

Last Friday, the bird and I hopped over to London for a quick weekend trip.

It was so easy from Dublin that I was surprised we hadn't done it before. The flight was only about 45 minutes!

 

We didn't do a lot of the 'normal' London site seeing this trip since we plan to come back with my brother when he visits in March. But our hotel was right next to Big Ben and the London Eye, so I managed to snap a couple pictures.

We walked a lot, stumbling upon lots of great neighborhoods, streets and shops.

The main reason for our trip was to see The Book of Mormon. I had been dying to see it... and was definitely not disappointed.

It was so good; absolutely hilarious! I highly recommend it!

We stayed at Park Plaza Westminster Bridge and I would definitely recommend this hotel too. The rooms were very nice and so spacious. It's also in a great location for walking or taking the Tube.

Weekend in London (snippet)

The bird surprised me with a trip to London this past weekend.

I knew we had something planned... but I didn't know what or where. I am usually the one to plan out our trips, so it was such a nice surprise!

My brother comes to visit us in Dublin in March and we are planning on taking him to London then too. So this weekend was just a mellow weekend away. Less about site seeing and more about having a fabulous weekend getaway... and seeing The Book of Mormon. So good! More pictures to follow this week.

Today I will end with this lovely piece via. Have a Happy Monday!

Outfit Inspiration for Gray Days

Happy Friday!

We've had a few gloomy days in Dublin which inspired this gray days outfit full of layers.

black denim // cozy sweater // pendant necklace // infinity scarf // jersey tank // suede booties // sunglasses

I love the monochrome gray look and that Rebecca Taylor tank looks so comfortable and is on major sale!

The bird and I are off to London today for a weekend rendezvous! So excited to see The Book of Mormon. If you have any recommendations for our short weekend trip, let me know!
