A Day out in the Big Shmoke!

I've had a super busy week this week and even managed a work trip up to Dublin.  I still get ridiculously excited about a trip to the big shmoke so I was delighted when I got an invite to attend the Next press event in the fabulous Dean Hotel on Harcourt St. to launch their new next day delivery service.  If you place an order by 10 pm you can get next day delivery on orders placed Sunday to Thursday.  Tres handy!  We also got to see some of their new season pieces while being served delicious breakfast treats.  I also think I'm mildly obsessed with the Dean Hotel, the decor is seriously cool and I've decided to force the boyf to bring me there for my birthday in March.  











































































No trip to Dublin is complete without a trip to Laduree in Brown Thomas for some delicious macaroons.  I strongly recommend the rose water, pistachio and salted caramel.


















































































































































































































































































Some of my favourite pieces from the Next spring collection including the lemon print children's raincoat which I'm completely envious of.  

I also managed to pop into the  River Island press room before heading home and I now have a huge Spring/Summer shopping list.  Top of the list is a black leather jacket with a gorgeous floral print.
































































































































































































































Till next time. xx.

Weekend Workshops

I spent this past weekend in Dublin at a fashion illustration workshop and I have to say I'm feeling totally refreshed after it.  Like loads of people I completely struggle with the ol work/life balance and even though I absolutely love my job sometimes I feel like I have no interests outside of it.  Some of you may know that I actually did a degree in Fine Art in CCAD and so art has always been a major interest of mine although sadly I hadn't done anything in years not even keep a sketchbook going.  So when I saw that the designer Sorcha O' Raghallaigh was running a three day fashion illustration workshop in Dublin I knew it was something that I really wanted to do.  Sorcha is a designer that I really admire and her own illustrations and beautiful avant-garde pieces are just divine.  I've included a few pics from the weekend and some of the drawings that I did aswell as some of Sorchas own collections.  My drawings have a long way to go but it's completely inspired me to keep it up and I'm going to aim to do a couple of drawings each day from now on.

































































































So that was my inspiring weekend, I would definitely recommend the workshop to budding designers or for people like myself who might want to get back in touch with their artistic side.  Sorcha is a fantastic tutor and all levels of ability are catered for.

Hope everyone else had a great weekend!!
