Hello there! If there is anyone out there still checking in I just wanted to let you know that I have moved to a new blog...same name but different address! I mentioned before that I wanted to change things up a bit around here and I have finally done it! I hope you will come visit me at the new blog!
You will find the new Six Black Dots here!

Orla Kiely
Edit! To protect your privacy, I won't be publishing comments that include email addresses...just in case you are worried! Thanks :)
If there is still anybody out there taking the odd little peek here and if you have visited in the past you will most likely know that I am a serious Oral Kiely fan! I have too many bags to count!! However, I am doing a bit of a clear out and as I don't use most of them anymore (they would generally just have been used for a season), I can't really justify keeping them. I have been thinking of putting them up on e-bay but appear to have a weird mental block about selling on e-bay. I absolutely cannot explain it but, essentially, it scares me!! I have bought stuff on e-bay and any transactions I had went smoothly so there is no rhyme or reason for this block!
Anyway, I thought I would throw a few pictures up here to see if anyone is interested. Some of them are actually brand new, still with tags, ie the two clutch bags...which are very "now" with their neon orange and pink touches! Also, the book bag / laptop bag in a brownish colour. The dark grey tote was used about 4 times I'd say. The others are used but in fairly good condition. So, I'm putting a little selection up here in case anyone is interested in owning a classic Orla Kiely bag. By the way, the suede bags with the neon pops are really rare...I have never seen one before. I bought mine in a little store in Boulder, Colorado!!
If you are interested, leave a comment with a contact email address. The new bags, I would sell at a slight discount from their as new price and the others they would sell from 35 euros up plus postage. I will think about the prices a little harder if anyone shows any interest!
Even if you have no interest whatsoever, you might just enjoy a little peak into my own little Orla-Land!!
I took these at top speed without much care and attention and with my iPhone! If you click on the picture you will see a bigger version. If interested, I can show more detailed pictures and point out if there are any marks etc. Equally, there are more that I can post on here!
Hope you are having a good week. I am off to Amsterdam with work on Sunday...have never been so quite looking forward to it. I just hope I will find some time to do a little exploring!

Hello!
It's been months since I posted! I think I am just completely bored with my blog so I am going to change it up, buy a nice design and move it...hopefully, that will motivate me to post more regularly! I like to have my blog to look back on and of course it's nice to meet the odd person who drops by to say hello too so I do want to continue - I'll just do it in a different way and maybe with a different name...we'll see!
In the meantime, if there is anyone still out there, here are a few snaps from around my home that I took using Instagram recently!

The weekend...
Lots of food, ice cream and desserts! Sunday morning out in Dun Laoghaire for a walk on the pier...sunny with a brisk breeze...very refreshing after a late Saturday night!
And, Sunday out at the pier would not be the same without a 99 from Teddy's!
Have a good week :)

All about the print...
So, I am liking the trend for prints this summer but won't be getting too involved as I tend not to follow trends too much and like to buy things that last for a few years. However, I fell big time for this coat from Cos. I had been eyeballing it online for a while and then it disappeared (yikes) so when I found one in our local Cos store, I tried it on, loved it and bought it! It looks great with a crisp white cotton top underneath and would look great with some dark grey jeans, which I can't find anywhere, so will wear with some good, dark jeans and silver / grey / white shoes (that I am hunting for). The colors are a little bit hard but I love them anyway! Plan to wear it to my niece's First Communion at end May.
Not sure if this photo does it justice but I promise it's lovely! Will maybe take a photo with it on me at some point. Enjoy your day :)

Hot Pink...
Always been a fan of pink but have really noticed that neon pink is everywhere on the web these days! I bought a neon pink scarf in Zara recently (when it looked like we might finally get some good weather and I was feeling summery and all..it didn't last!). I also have a hot pink case for my iPhone and yesterday whilst in the local chemist picked up some hot pink nail varnish. It cheers me up. I was trying to photograph my hands and they looked hideous so grabbed my mouse to show my nails...still don't look so hot but better than the other shots! Also, how about these gorgeous note cards by Lisa Stickley...love them so much...might just have to frame one of each. Have a good day :)
