Gingham

Gingham is absolutely everywhere the past few months, there's no avoiding it. At first I wasn't a huge fan but after picking up this little gingham mini I was sold. I'm not really a dress person I prefer separates but I spotted this one in Penneys in Cork last week and had to have it.

I'm obsessed with the tie in the middle and the ruffled shelve and hem detail. Its so comfortable and best bit I think it was something like €18.

My youngest daughter finishes her first year of Montessori this week and her school hold the cutest graduation ceremonies at the end of each year so it was perfect excuse to whip out a dress.

My better half has been working and living in Cork for the past couple of months, he travels home at weekends so this is my first time going down to see him. I'm so glad I waited because wow!! In the couple of months he's been there the hotel his apartment is in and its grounds have been completely refurbished and it looks amazing. I honestly don't know how we get him to come home at all. The view is like nothing I've seen in Ireland before. The amazing weather helped of course I felt like we were abroad.  

Sunday we went for dinner in the hotel and a walk around the grounds and had some pre drinks in the roof top garden. Then we went to Jenny Green , a very nice gift from Marc's boss. After the concert we went for walk along the Harbour.

On Monday himself had to work so I went for a wander around Cork, this was my first time being there and I loved it. I found the whole city so quirky and colourful.

Sunday's and Returning to Work

So this is what I wore Sunday.

Sundays have always been the day that we spend time together as a family as it's the only one we're all at home for (I mentioned my husbands crazy hours before :( ) This one more then most because I was due back to work this week which was both nerve wrecking and exciting at the same time.
