Pound to spend a penny?

So I've been looking into flights to spend a weekend in Dublin and horror of horrors - the cheapest flight is Ryanair. I put a ban on the airline since I've come over due to shady safety records, bad airports (most of their flights only leave from Stanstead or Luton which is far to go and when you add in the train ticket price becomes more expensive), and the fact that they try to get money out of you anyway they can like their current idea of making people pay to use the loo while in air.

I'm sorry but if I have to go, I have to go and spending £1 to use the bathroom once is more expensive than using the washroom at the bottom of Notre Dame. And it seems absolutely ridonkulous - as someone could get ill and not have a £1 on them and that's it - the Ryan air attendants will now have deal with more than a few 'issues' in the aisles.

However, the flight is only an hour and half and its not official yet - so I may have to cave and lift the ban.

when in camden

home of Amy Winehouse, Kate Moss and other iconic trouble/style makers - Camden Market is definitely the place to see any and everything when it comes to fashion. It originally started as a craft market back in the 70s and now is this huge massive antique, fashion and just about anything market. You can also get scrumptious sugar donuts (4 for £2) to keep you going as well as just about any other food. But get the donuts.

Last Sunday, L2 and I took some friends up to the market (it was L2's first experience too) and I went crazy! Purchased - a charcoal grey balloon dress with pearl detailing on top, a black feather headband that will look great if I go out at night and tame my very large hair, and some black Ray-Ban knock-offs for France. L2 bought an original sex pistols album for a friend for a deal and a half.

I'm still wishing I bought a Blair Waldorf style headband in charcoal and this amazing fascinator for Ascot. It was white, ostentatious and perfect. I guess I'll just have to go back and hope it's there.

toast to warm weather

I'm currently dreaming of warm weather. It's actually been surprisingly nice in the city for the past four days (sunny, really warm (like 14/15) and no crazy wind). But now I've had a taste for sun - I don't want it to end. I want to be in Porto, Portugal or the South of France wearing Toast and sipping white wine in an outdoor cafe.

I'm ready for summer.

one for St. Patrick

well it's the closest I'll be to Ireland on St. Patty's day - so it's time to raise a glass tonight at a local Battersea joint to celebrate the irish snake-free island. Plus I love the colour green - so here's a few green inspirations.... Images -At the very top - Dublin Castle statue (my own on a really bad camera) 1. Kew Gardens (L2 or mine), 2.
