"Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Galway Christmas Market, Eyre Square.

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,

White Elephant Bar Boot

 Some photos from the first ever White Elephant BarBoot Sale, an event myself and Harlow&Harvey  designer Sarah organised, which took place last Sunday. Held by The Kings Head pub in Galway's city centre, the White Elephant Sale (as they used to be called back in the day) hosted a wonderful mishmash of crafters, vintage and pre-loved clothing sellers flogging their wares, and for a very good price mind you! Feeling that it was about time I downsized my overflowing wardrobe, I managed to shift a heap of clothes, shoes and accessories to our bargain-hungry visitors. We were delighted to have amongst our sellers the wonderful Sinead of Cotton Face Vintage and fellow blogger Dani of Madam Snapper. We also had a visit from the lovely Lia of Rags & Retrospect, and not to mention the talented Saibh Egan, who popped in specially to take all of these gorgeous photos, thanks Saibh!

The day was a huge success and we hope to begin planning another one soon, feel free to like our facebook page here to keep updated, and if you would like to participate in our next one, PLEASE dont hesitate to let us know, the more the merrier!

Peace,
