Christmas Costumes!

Before coming to Dublin I´ve never thought that I should have dressed up for christmas but it turned out that there´s an Irish tradition called "12 pubs for xmas" which requires people to wear funny christmas jumpers full of christmas lights and going around 12different pubs in one night. 

So my Irish flatmate,who is totally crazy about christmas, had the idea not to make a simple jumper but a dress:

 Ciara(my Irish flatmate) and Me

Carlotta and me

  

Making it took us a while but it´s simpler than it seems:

First of all we bought a penguin "onze" in Penneys for 10 €
then we cut the legs with a scalpel and we used them as the tale of our dress. 
We took two sheets of felt,one red and the other black,to cut the letters of "xmas" and we sewed them to the back of the onze that we used as the front.
After, we made holes into the letters of the dress  and around where we sticked the lights with glue. 
After cutting a pair of thights we put the lights´battery into one leg of what is left of the thights and we tied it on our chest under the dress.
Then we cut a little bit the neck to make it larger and -Voila´- the fanciest christmas outfit you have ever seen is ready!

Happy "12 pubs for xmas"! :)

Which kind of animal are you?

This winter seems that animals hats took possession of people´s mind. 

Bears, owls, cats,pandas and even bevears have been seen crouching on people´s heads.

So what are you waiting for?! choose the animal you prefer and wear it! (Pay attention this is not an encouragement to kill some animals and make a fur out of them the hats are simply cute representations of animals :D )

RIVER ISLAND

But pay attention not to exaggerate:

You can buy them in shops like River Island or simply in the stands on the street in the city-centre.

If you are really crazy about them and you don´t mind about the price 

SpiritHoods have got the best ones but the cost is about 129 € 

  

They are available at www.spirithoods.com

Enjoy your new pets!!! :)

The Market

The market is an oasis of Fashion and uniqueness in the city populated by big chains of shops where sometimes all the clothes you find in one of these shops look alike the others.

 While the market is a fashion boutique located in Powerscourt where some little Irish designers have the chance to show their creations and people can buy unique dresses accessories at a good price.
