Outer Space.

Elcetric Picnic is fast approaching. If I can somehow look like Bruce Springsten, Kings of Leon and Drew Barrymore all at the same time, I will be a happy camper. I am terribly excited, a weekend with my boys and Nips. I doubt if we shall still be friends at the end of the weekend, but here's hoping. Will you be there?
(Is the African tribe theme a bit much? Or too little?)

What is Bambi doing?

Killarney National Park, it's pretty whopper dude, a place filled with deer, red squirrels, pine martens, mushrooms (the hobbits would love it) and chilli. So much chilli. It is a shame that chilli is the only thing that Conor and I can cook, as I think I may hate it now that we have eaten so much of it. However, pay a visit, stay in the Front Gate Lodge, kill some Rhododendron, run with the deer and have a jolly old time.

I was in London. It was my first time there, ever, and by Job, I love that place. Oh my days, the atmosphere, the buildings, Foyles, Libertys, beers named 'auld speckled hen' and most importantly the Victoria Albert Museum. The V&A was by far my favourite place in London, and though I spent an entire afternoon there it wasn't enough. Usually I'm not one for museums and galleries, I have a few that are favourites, like I love the National Gallery in Dublin and the Museé d'Orsay in Paris, and now the V&A in London. I often find other museums too crowded, too expensive and I can't relax in them. I like the museums that are half empty most of the time and therefore really easy to get around.
I also went to Topshop, hated it, couldn't make sense of the store, though that didn't stop my buying a pair of lovely khaki turn ups, but there you go.
Sat for hours in Foyles, reading my new Biology dictionary.
Wandered in both the rain and sunshine.
Went on a boat trip to Greenwich on the Thames.
Drank lots of coffee.
Saw the fat, blonde guy from Gavin & Stacey, who's name I still can't remember, and said hello.
Found a cd that is just nowhere to be had in Ireland for £10, so that was a win. Go HMV Oxford St.
All in all, had a great time, ate loads, drank lots, spent loads of money and looked at lots of trains.
By the way, happy 21st to Avril, who is currently in London. I'd imagine also having a lovely time.

Only Boring People Get Bored.

Yesterday I was bored, so, in order not to be a boring person, I had all my hair cut off. It is now very short, my neck is naked but I love it. Though it will never again look this chic, ever.
A song for our Kizzy in America playing piano. Talent oozing from her every pore.

Gin and Juice.

It's summertime and I have become bored with what is on my ipod, so I went trawling the internet and various other people's music collections and both came across and fell in love with Beirut, there song Postcards from Italy is just lovely, and the video kind of captures a summer feel reminiscent of your childhood, ah tis just great. Just so you know they are not from Lebanon, a rather long and rambling discussion was had about this before a googling of the matter occured, turns out they hail from America, New Mexico if Wikipedia is to be believed.
Also loving the new collections for Autumn, all full skirts, capes, waists and trousers. TROUSERS. God I love trousers, they are friggin awesome, so much more comfortable than jeans and in an amazing cuts and fabrics are just so beautiful. Can not wait for these to enter my wardrobe, above are some of my favourites dudes.

Seven Day Playsuit Challenge!

So, 'What is the Playsuit Challenge?' you ask. Well, here's the deal. I think this is one of my greatest ideas ever, I need to get a patent in this quick: You take seven playstuits and wear one each day of the week. Every week! SO you're never seen wearing anything but playsuits, I think it's such a cute idea.

I absolutely adore playsuits! There is something so fun and sporty about them while at the same time they are very feminine and flattering if you can choose one that suits you.

So, in honour of my new challege which I am putting forward to all of you, here are my favorite seven playsuits at the moment.


Monday
I love strapless playsuits, unfortunately with my ample bosom, lol, I often have to refrain from wearing anything strapless. I love this playsuit on the model regardless. This is the kind of outfit you'd see someone wearing at a barbecue drinking ice cold bulmers with a load of really hip friends.
Tuesday
This is the piece that I'd be most likely to buy and wear myself. The colour is vibrant and pretty and the cut is flattering to a number of body shapes.
Wednesday
This is definitely a day time suit. It's a great alternative to shorts and tee shirt for summer days. It possessess all the girly-ness of a skirt while being practical for hanging out on the beach or in the park where you'll probably end up partaking in a game of football or touch rugby.
Thursday
This little number is something I'd wear on a date. It's dressy enough to look good without looking like too much effort was involved! It's versatile enough to go from walk in the park to afternoon drinks to even a bar later on.
Friday
This is probably my favorite of them all on the model. I love the cut and the bright colours. However I think if would make me look like a frump so I doubt I'll be wearing it anytime soon...
Saturday
I really like this one because it's versatile enough to be worn during the day or at night to a club.
Sunday
This is such a lazy Sunday look! I love this piece because it's so different to all the other playsuits I was looking at. I love the faded denim giving it a worn look. However, I don't think it would be flattering on anyone who doesn't have twiggy model legs unfortunately.

Damn I wish I had the money to buy seven as cute as these... As it stands I only have one. I think a trip to Pennies is required right now!

I also need to get a pair of denim hotpants before I head off stateside. Preferably ones that are cute but are appropriate for wearing at Summer Camp! I really must go shopping and stock up on summer supplies soon...

Truth, Beauty, Freedom, Love,
Kizzy xx
