Avoca is Gooood!!

My quest to learn more about my new county- Dublin, took me today to Avoca in Monkstown.  Prior to moving here, all I really knew of Dublin was Grafton Street and Temple Bar, and believe me, these can get boring fast!!  There's too many crowds and tourists.  It was refreshing today to go to this amazingly quaint seaside village.  Avoca has the best food - as you can see in the picture below!  Now that I live in Dublin and my rent is astronomical, I will be recycling a lot of my old clothes on the blog. . .Here's a fun new way to create a new look with one of your old scarves - belt it and turn it into a vest.  xo

Crop Tops and Cool Walls

I visited my Cork last weekend for the first time in 6 months and man, I love that city!  Cork is my second home (after Cali) and I lived there for 10 years.  It felt so good to be back and walk all those familiar streets.  I got a chance to eat at my favourite vegetarian restaurant Cafe Paradiso for an early birthday celebration.  Then we hit the town!  I wore a crop top and high waisted pants along with my favourite leather jacket and new Mansur Gavriel bucket bag.  xo

PS - how cool is this wall!

Goodbye Donegal

The time has come to leave Donegal, and I am very sad. . .Tomorrow, after spending a year in Letterkenny, we will be packing up the moving van and heading for Dublin.  This county is so beautiful, with gorgeous national parks and some of the best beaches in the world.  I firmly believe that when you live somewhere, you leave a little piece of your heart there and it will be with your forever. . . .I shot this last look for the blog in a town called Ramelton. So farewell Donegal, it's been real. . . Until we meet again xo
