Oh Orla....

So, another one my addictions to fess up to! Orla Kiely...Irish designer extraordinaire! I have been collecting / buying Orla Kiely bits and bobs since I bought my first bag in 2002. In more recent years I was able to afford some of her clothing range (in the sales mind you) and have built up a wee collection of nice pieces which I think are pretty timeless really..thank goodness! I love her homeware and furniture collections too and can't wait to visit London again to see the expanded flagship store in Covent Garden (I was there a couple of years ago but there wasn't a homeware/interiors section back then). I have a voucher for the shop which my husband gave me for Christmas so even tho I need to be very careful with money, I can still come away with a little something! Whoohoo!

Anyway, her furniture rocks...and here are some gorgeous pieces...available at Heals (I love Heals..wish it was in Dublin!)...







I can't afford any of these items but I can afford some pillow cases!! Hurray! There is an Orla Kiely bedlinen range available at Heals (online) and to be perfectly frank, having the pillowcases with my plain white and off white duvet covers and a nice blanket, I think looks nicer than having it all Orla..that's a bit much in my humble opinion...here are some of the ones I like...




And then...some non Orla bedding that I spotted while browsing which I think are pretty cute...Luella and Heals own product (with pompoms..who doesn't love pompoms!)...




I'll make up my mind soon...am going to buy 2 sets of 2...nothing too extravagant..I'll post some photos when I do!
