Brunching and Buying Bliss.

I’ll admit it was with the slightest bit of trepidation that I set out on Saturday morning achingly early for the 8th Fashion Bloggers’ Brunch. We were set to head to Kildare Village. I’d not heard much previous to the excursion and the only brands I knew they had for sure was…Wolford, which is great if you’re an all-about-the-tights lass but if you’re like me a non-cross-dressing male, well not so much (although some knee-highs couldn’t hurt for Summer…).

To my v. pleasant surprise a wealth of favourite labels lay before us including Reiss, Bally and All Saints. Needless to say I took full advantage of the generous gift card and VIP discount bestowed upon us bloggers, snapping up two mesmerisingly soft Reiss cardigans (below) for the miniscule sum of €29. Kildare, we love you (the pink bubbly and copious amount of Italian culinary delights didn’t hurt either…).

I reckon I’ll be wearing this sans additional over/under-layers when this ice-cube of a country decides to heat up somewhat but for now it’s solely over a sheer pale pale almost steely blue Ungaro shirt I scoped out recently. Neat-o.

Much thanks to Annmarie as always. Despite bus mix-ups etc. she got us out of the midlands mist and back to the security of the capital, all the while simply emanating chic.
