These beautiful images were taken by my very talented friend Saibh on our trip to the Galway Christmas Market! For the second year running, Eyre Square has been converted into a magical, whimsical, Christmas wonderland! For the month of December, both local and international sellers flock to the market, to showcase their wares and cuisine. Having enjoyed it so much last year, I was delighted to hear of it coming back. Its hard not to get excited for Christmas when surrounded by the smells of delicious mulled wine and roast pig, I recommend going on an empty stomach as you will surely be full to the brim leaving! There is a wonderful selection of Christmas-themed stalls, where you can get handmade christmas presents, jumpers, or even a gorgeous reindeer pelt all the way from Finland.
COAT: PRIMARK
DRESS: AX PARIS
TIGHTS: PRETTY POLLY
SHOES: TOPSHOP
This outfit really gets me in the Christmas mood! My extra fleecy Pretty Polly tights keep my legs nice and snug, and my faux-fur collared Primark dress-coat was an absolute bargain I picked up last year, a shocking €5, and it keeps me toasty as ever.
Believe it or not, this is the first ever red dress to grace my wardrobe, from AXParis. I love its shape and fit, cinching in perfectly at the waist. Its style is quite versatile, smart enough for daywear, but team with bare legs and a clutch, it could make a formidable party dress!
And speaking of all things red, let me introduce you another "first" in my life... my first ever MAC lipstick. A thoughtful (and very well chosen!) present from The Boy, the shade is Ruby Woo, the most perfect matte red hue, and an instant favourite in my makeup bag.
There's something about the colour red isn't there? Especially this time of the year, makes a girl feel special.... Oh look at me, Its only the 1st of December, and I'm already feeling the Christmas cheer.
So much so in fact, that a festive themed giveaway might be on the cards....
So stay tuned guys, tis the season, and all that.
((and in the spirit of giving, feel free to Hype of you fancy :D ))
Peace,
Wild Child,
