One year ago, I married the best man I know. Happy Anniversary to my bird!

We are currently celebrating in the south of France, but I wanted to share some pics and a wedding recap.

The bird and I are off to Nice today!

So today, Alison from Long Distance Loving is gracing us with a guest post! She always has the best fashion boards! Thank you, Alison!

Hi there! My name is Alison--and I'm the blogger behind {long distance loving}. Jessica asked me to fill in for her while she and Matt escape to the south of France for their anniversary weekend. I pulled together this chic getaway ensemble, which would be perfect for a night out on the town! 



Since we all can't escape to Nice, where would you love to get away to this weekend?

  1. Thanks again for having me here and for being such a loyal linker for Friday's Fancies! xoxo {av}

This past year has been nothing short of amazing: our wedding, honeymoon, moving to Dublin and traveling Europe together. I feel truly lucky for it all!

I have a lovely anniversary post schedule for Monday... stay tuned! :)

And lastly, tomorrow Alison, of Long Distance Loving will be sharing a guest post here!

Happy Monday!

The bird and I spent this past weekend in Cologne, Germany. He had a work conference for a couple days and we spent an extra couple days there exploring the city.

Here are some pics from my iPhone:
Cologne was beautiful! There were so many different areas to explore, including the Rhine River, fashion district, Cologne Cathedral and the Belgian Quarter.

We even got our first mini taste of Oktoberfest (even though Munich is the real host of Oktoberfest).

I hope you had a great weekend!

Hello from Cologne, Germany!

I have been exploring the city the past 2 days while the bird has been at a work conference. Its a lovely city, right on the Rhine River. And also worth noting, its a pretty big city for fashion. Who knew!?

So I thought it was only appropriate that I am share my fall wishlist with you today.

Cinnamon shampoo... Sign me up!

I also started and finished this book in 24 hours. I could not put it down! Download it immediately.

Happy Friday!

After seeing all the gorgeous skirts around the web, I decided it was time to embrace the look.

Here are some of my favorite skirts for fall:

I miss J.Crew.

We have dinner with friends tonight, followed by a Christening celebration for another friend tomorrow. Sunday we'll play catch up. :)

This Tuesday we are off to Cologne, Germany for a few days. The bird has a work conference and I'll be tagging along to explore the city. Have you been?

I came across this "Autumn Essentials" print & absolutely fell in love. The design details and the fall colors are gorgeous!

Plus, I think it's pretty spot on with my fall necessity picks this year:



Time to stock up. Hope your week is going well! Xo

It has officially transitioned into fall in Dublin. It's colder, windier and darker already. Time to bring the fall and winter clothes back out: boots, scarves and lots of layers.

And what better place to look than Pinterest for some fabulous fall inspiration?

Here are some of my fall favorites:

I may not be ready for fall's cooler weather, but if it means all of these items hanging in my closet... I'm in!

Have a great weekend!

We had a fun-filled weekend over here!

As I mentioned on Friday, Laura and I went to a fun fashion event in Dublin. You can see Laura's recap here. The event was called the Ultimate Girls Day out and was filled with pampering, fashion shows and retail therapy.
We were even lucky enough to walk home with some fun prizes! Such a fun and much needed girls day!

The bird and I also went out for a little date night at Roly's. Love discovering new spots in the city.
How was your Labor Day weekend??
