St. Stephan's OOTD.

Being back in Ireland these past few days has been so great. I missed being home so much. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love living in Italy this year but really there's no place like home. 

Not having Penneys in Italy has been so difficult too! Absolutely died of the withdrawal symptoms for the last 4 months so as you guess I raided Penneys when I returned.

Details below:




Coat: Penneys/Primark €35
Jumper: Penneys/Primark €12
Jeans: Zara €40
Shoes: Panneys/Primark €25

Yesterday I went to Dublin with my family on a shopping trip. The sales were very good but I was very disappointed with some shops that I actually love on a normal basis. Forever 21 was probably worst place to buy anything. There was a tonne of stock but it was like they threw together old stock from the last few years and wedged them onto a few hand rails. Very bad and disappointing as I was really excited to go there.

The highlights were of course Mango, Korkys and United Colors of Benetton. I got great bargains in these shops and the quality of the clothes are actually incredible. 

I'm heading back to Italy tonight. I'm going to miss Galway so much but I plan to make a trip home before I come home for good.

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas surrounded by your loved ones. I wish everyone the very best for 2016! :*

I spent a lovely two days celebrating Christmas with my family. Words can't describe how nice it feels to be home during the festive season. 

On the 24th we did our usual family tradition of Secret Santa. The following day we went to my cousins house for our Christmas dinner. The house was full of cousins, aunts, uncles and of course my special granny! <3 This feast was again repeated on St. Stephan's day!

My outfit details are shown below:
