Seaside Saturday

This past Saturday Donnacha, Kate, Eric, Simon and I visited my family in Skerries. We went to Stoop Your Head (Stoops) for lunch. Their seafood chowder is the best. Afterwards we joined my aunts at Olive for coffee and dessert. These two are some of my favourite places to eat in Dublin county. If you're ever in the area, I can't recommend either highly enough.

The sun shone for the first time in ages on Saturday, long enough for us to be able to sit outside and eat lunch. 

I just wanted to say a quick thank you for all the lovely comments on my last post, it really made me so happy to hear from you all. 

How was your Easter weekend?

Dream I'm In The Saltwater

On Sunday Donnacha and I got the train to Skerries to see my family. We went for a walk around "The Head" as it's known locally, it's actually a little headland sticking out into the Irish sea. One side of Skerries has a stoney beach which is the North Beach and the other side has a big sandy beach called the South Strand. We were so lucky to get a gorgeous sunny day! It made me realise how much I took for granted living in such a beautiful place for years. The sea air is just amazing, there's nothing like it! Donnacha took some outfit photos for me along the way and I took some of the scenery which I will post later in the week.

You'll have to make do with these for now!

It was really warm in some places but a bit chilly in the shade, although I didn't even have to wear my jacket for some of the walk! I got these boots a couple of months ago in Clarks. I wanted them for ages and though they were very expensive for my budget I just had to get them! I didn't know whether to go for the black or walnut colour, in the end I decided the black could be good for wearing at night as well as during the day and I don't actually own that many black shoes. They are so comfortable and easy to walk in, that's the main reason I bought them apart from loving the look of them. I love high shoes but I just can't wear the because of my dodgy knees but these are the perfect height and are so versatile.

Hope you're all having a great week so far! I'll leave you with some Beach House.
