Goldie Brogues

I like these gold brogues from Clarks...very on trend don't you think!

Oh Clarks, you of the sensible school shoe, it is so nice to see you join us grown ups in our love for fashion!

Spring Time

Isn't this patent watch just so fresh and pretty. All Spring-y and yellow...

Only £25 from Asos!

Bags To Love

I've been thinking about handbags lately and came to the realisation that I now must become reliant on cross body bags alone to hold my bits and bobs as my other hands will have to be free for my TWO children and their changing bags, buggies, coats etc etc etc! (still clearly having issues coming to terms with the old 'mother of two' concept!) Anyway, I digress, have you seen Mulberry's latest arrival? Meet Evelina (above) isn't she pretty? I think I would get along very well with her. Just sayin'...

This little patent messenger bag from Zara is lovely. Kind of retro, kind of now. It's not huge so  forget using it as a dumping bag for all sorts of detritus but take it out to sling across your body when there is someone else to help with the baby kit!

Ah distressed metallics, how I love thee! This gorgeous bag called Orelia is from Red Direct and I think I'm in love with it. It is the perfect size for everyday... I'm seriously coveting it!

I was petting this little leather bag in Zara the other day and it may or may not have been added to a certain Christmas list! Still basically impractical for kid kit purposes but pretty nonetheless...

Bow Goes Online

One of my favourite Irish stores has gone online. Bow is the sweetest little boutique run by designers Eilis Boyle, Wendy Crawford and Margaret O'Rourke. The actual shop is in the Powerscourt Townhouse in Dublin 2 and is a treasure trove of loveliness and now their virtual shop is here...

I'm crazy about these cashmere arm warmers by Eilis...

And this scarf...

And this bow!

How cute is this lunchbox?

And these beautiful earrings from MoMuse are On. The. List. It's official!

Earring Lust

Look how pretty these earrings are!  Despite never really being a wearer of dangly earrings, I have been admiring some on people lately and think I may branch out, away from my usual studs. These are all from Anthropologie and are surprisingly reasonable for their loveliness.

I think these are a nice variation on the ubiquitous gold hoops. And a lot more stylish...

Delicate rose quartz....simple and lovely.

Wouldn't these make a great statement? With a messy bun and red lips...mmmm

Star Bag

I'm smitten by this bag from Rockett St George. That is all!

Wonder Undies

Seriously, how gorgeous are these bras from BHLDN? I think they are the prettiest I've ever seen...

Plum lace - gorgeous colour and so delicate...

Sure, they may not offer the best in the way of support or practicality, but isn't that the point of divine underthings!

Polka dots and ruffles... So cute!

I can just imagine flouncing around some Parisian loft on a sunny morning in this one with a coffee in one hand and croissant in the other while my gorgeous lover reads the newspaper and looks all rugged and handsome!!

Hey! I can but fantasise...

Three Silver Rings

I love stacking rings and this little trio of sterling silver and blue cubic zirconia from Daisy Knights is catching my magpie eye today! And it's on sale at Net-A-Porter.... hhhmmm, dare I?

Sweet Bag

Mmmmm, I'm very much smitten with this gorgeous soft leather clutch by TENOVERSIX ... Not much else to say really. Other than I wish it were mine...

Rings of Gold

I came across these beautiful rings on one of my recent Etsy trawls. They are by a Danish jewellery designer who has an online store called Secret Charm. She hand makes and hammers the delicate rings which are made from sterling silver and yellow and rose golds.  I love stacking rings and particularly love rose gold - you never see it any more and it reminds me of my granny's wedding ring. They are very reasonably priced for handmade jewellery and she also does a sweet range of bangles...check her out here. I think I'll be cranking up the credit card for one of these sets. I can resist everything but temptation and all that!

Stella's Shoes

Begone the ubiquitous nude peep toe platform shoe! Your competition has arrived in the shape of this 60's inspired nude pump by Stella McCartney.  Check out the lines on these beauties...substantial but still chic, I reckon you could run for a bus and dance for hours in these..

How refreshing and different is the blockier heel with gold detail...

Great side profile!

Bag A Clutch For Autumn

I really like the new trend for over-sized clutch bags. Yes, they are a tad unpractical but what the hell - they look good!  I'm coveting this metallic one from Zara....

This yellow snakeskin beauty is also from Zara, wouldn't it brighten up black or neutrals like a dream!

 I love the colour of this leather clutch from Asos...it's big enough to fit an iPad in there so you can get an idea of scale.

 I adore this cobalt blue one with gold detail...

How fantastic is this canary yellow mock croc bag! I do love a bright pop of bright and this would be so gorgeous with denim and stripes!

Kate's New Clutch

Have you seen this new Kate Spade clutch bag? 

Lovely. Just lovely.

Summer Time

I think I'm craving sunshine (know the feeling fellow Irish peeps?), So I'm very drawn to this cheery, sunshiney watch that would add a great citrus pop to any outfit.

Bags for Summer

 Tan leather?

 Fresh, gorgeous stripes?

 Punched leather??

All from here, all lovely...

How to choose?
