sales

I, like many, cannot turn down a good bargain, so unsurprisingly and despite being somewhat under the weather, a post-Christmas trip to the sales was in order after the long annual feeding-frenzy of Christmas Day. I purchased in River Island a black and grey wool tunic, a black sheer pussy bow blouse, denim skinny jeans and a big woolly jumper from the men's section, an top in a|wear and a top in Next that I think I may return because I'm not entirely sure about it. I am waiting to until I'll be back in Galway before I do any more sales shopping. I desperately want to hit up Topshop particularly the jewellery section.

Also the newest addition to my collection of electronic gizmos is a Canon Powershot SX130. I had intended on getting an SLR but considering I'm not the most technically minded of people, I thought that I should probably start small. Going from a quite basic Fujifilm Finepix Z30 straight to a snazzy grown-up camera would have been too much of a leap for me.

So now dear readers - of whom I'm sure are numerous in number - prepare yourselves for a higher standard of photographs accompanying the same bog-standard quality of content.

new header

I decided to go mad for the new year and create a new header for myself.

This is the original photograph which was taken during Una's and my mini-adventure on the Corrib Princess at the beginning of the summer.

gifting

Here is just a quick post about some presents that a few other people received this Christmas. 

First up this beautiful snow globe. 

My friend Caitlin got this beautiful Nightmare Before Christmas snow globe from her mum for Christmas. I have been trying to find some more information about it online but unfortunately I cannot. It is beautiful is it not?

After going to see Hugo which I strongly recommend by the way, Caitlin and I went to see her sister in her new apartment. While there I spotted this. 

Now I am not a fan of One Direction so I was not even aware of the fact that there were dolls of them floating about but when I saw it, I had to take a picture. Imagine all the hoards of screaming pre-pubescent girls whose barbies can now send their barbies on dates with boys who have just recently emerged from the side of puberty.

My uncle, of whom I am now quite jealous, treated himself to an iPad and although I previously had no desire to get one, I now sort of do. I have absolutely no use for one but after spending a while fiddling around with one, I can't help looking upon any iPad with a hint of envy.

I hope that you all got what you wanted this Christmas and that you all gave some good gifts too.

Cheers for reading,
