Some purchases...

I said I would share some of purchases from Cos...some more recent than others. I referred to the bow dress in a previous post (my husband calls it my Laura Ingalls dress)...in fact I liked it so much I bought the same dress in navy too! I wear them with flats and leggings underneath but would wear the navy one with skinny dark jeans and converse too :)



Then I got these as part of my birthday pressie from my husband (at the weekend). I love the stripy shirt..it's kind of A line in shape. I love the neckline/collar. Prison stripes?? Nah! The other item is a tunic type dress...falls just below my bottom and is very sixties in style, the fabric is quite heavy and it's an A-line shape with hidden pockets at the front. I will wear it with cropped black skinny trousers and flats or heels when I want to be more fancy...really love this on :)



I also got a white dress with a bubble hem which I love too - bought with money from my parents (again for my birthday). Wore this out to dinner on my birthday night, again with leggings (black) underneath and white ballerina flats (which I scored for 27 euros in M&S) - also got a silver pair! Aren't birthdays great!?!




If I remember next time I wear any of the above, I will take a photo of them actually on me rather than on the hanger! I think that will be the end of clothes shopping for a while!

Liking....

Really like the Noa Noa (Danish) brand and Avoca Anthology (Irish) and a number of their pieces are available on the web via Inisonline which is based in Scotland. I have selected a few of my favourites below...I purchased the white shirt yesterday!

Sigh...

Hello...the a/w Cabbages and Roses collection is available to see (and buy!) online today..gorgeous as always...love this picture...reminds a little of the Coco avant Chanel movie...happy weekend.

Orla Kiely a/w 09...

I am a BIG Orla fan and have been checking her website every day in eager anticipation of her a/w 09 collection and it doesn't disappoint...below are some of my favourites...sigh...I am planning a visit to London in October and have a voucher to spend in her flaship store in Covent Garden...the range is much bigger than we get to see on the website...looking forward to that trip just a little bit!! It's a very happy Friday here in Dublin...sun is shining ...yay! Have a lovely weekend :)
