Farewell…for now

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

I’m heading off on a two week trip to Iceland and Ireland. First I’ll be staying in Reykjavik where I’ll be delighted to reunite with my friends and family. Then I’m heading off to the emerald isle. First stop is Dublin then I’m off to beautiful Cork city.

I’ll be sure to take a Rani cashmere sweater to Iceland. Nothing better than Italian cashmere to keep you warm in the cold!

Rani Cashmere sweater in Sand $640.00. Bella Notte Linen scarf in Sable $65.00.

Dublin can be very wet and grey. But the Irish never let that stop them from having fun on a night out!

To brighten my spirits in the grey weather I’ll have a night out in this mauve dress with a low back by Traffic People. Add a little bling from Edmoure Ralph and we have ourselves the perfect outfit.

Traffic People dress $209.00 Edmoure Ralph Necklace $143.00

My last stop will be in the south of Ireland, where i used to live…lovely Cork city.

For the shopping i’ll be doing in the city centre I want to look casual but classy. I’ll do so in a James Perse dress with that classic blazer which is a must in every womans closet.

James Perse Dress $185.00 ACDL Blazer $124.00 and Big Buddah bag $90.00.

I’ll try my best to keep you updated on Europe’s fall fashion trends and inspiration!
Au Revoir!

(Oh, and the city pictures I posted – the  first one is of my beautiful hometown Reykjavik. The second is of Dublin and it’s famous “Half Penny Bridges”. The third picture is of Cork City’s main shopping street, St. Patricks St.)
