Sometimes I think when you live in the same area for so many years, you become a little immune to the wonderful things it has to offer. In recent years I’ve become a little like that with Galway, as much as I love it, I sometimes say theres not a whole lot to do around here.  So this past week my boyfriend and I went on a road trip out West for a little wander. We ended up in a beautiful little town called Roundstone and stumbled upon the nicest beach I’ve come across in Ireland. The water was bluer than blue and the views were just too gorgeous.

Have you ever spotted something in a store or online that you absolutely loved but thought to yourself where on earth would I wear that? That’s pretty much how my relationship with this skirt began! I spotted it on my favourite Irish vintage store Folkster a couple of months back and maybe drooled a little but when I saw it! Then all of my friends decided to attend a St Stephens Day Ball and   finally I had an excuse to buy my dream skirt. I shared a couple of pictures from the night on my Facebook and Instagram and I got a bunch of emails from people wondering where I had purchased and now you know, The ‘oscar skirt’ comes in a pretty gold and a mulberry colour too! Who knows maybe I’ll start collecting one in each colour and make a rainbow of pretty skirts!
