What day is it? 

We left for Malta on Thursday. This past week was a great one. As the Summer Holidays draw to a close, we are home from Malta three days before school starts, we really spent the week soaking up the relaxed mornings, late brunchs, simply not having to measure time. Isn’t it amazing how as time catches up it becomes more precious.  I went to school for the Leaving Cert. results on Wednesday, I couldn’t be happier or prouder of the results my class were awarded.  A great friend and mentor of mine, planted these beautiful roses in my Mam’s garden. Every Bloom reminds me of him. The rose is called Fragrant Cloud, they are my absolute favourite flower of all time.  We had a late Brunch on Monday in Gourmet Food Parlour, I love that place so much. I regularly post photos on Instagram,  of the gorgeous food. GFP is easily in my top ten for brunch spots.  It’s a rare night when Keith and I go out and he doesn’t drive. It’s fun when we both go out and have a few drinks. Fun until the next day…

Our Maltese Adventure has just begun, but what an incredible place. It’s beautiful by  day and night. Have a restful Sunday.

You know those weeks… you have a list of things to do… It’s not an incredibly long list… So you’re optimistic at getting everything done. This week started like that. But ended up being just a relaxed (read lazy) week. Keith and I had a day together which was lovely, the six euro Zara sale dress arrived and is officially the bargain of the century. I love it! I’ve started watching the TV show Power it’s really good. I fell in love with the Chanel Jumbo all over again and carried it for most of the week.  For what is nearly a ten year old bag, it’s incredible. In my I HEART HANDBAGS series, I talked about the mini Flap, this bag needs its own post.  Would it be a Favourites post without the Starbucks shot?  A few Favourites this week also include my Sketcher flip flops, the Pestle &. Mortar Hydrate, and my mini Charlotte Tilbury haul…  I’m loving the Pillowtalk Lipstick.  Ah Keith and I went back to Nandos, we hadn’t been there in months. I love their superfood salad.  I had started organising/ tidying my accessories and it all ended when I found this watch. I put it on and posted to Instagram, the tidying will have to wait.  The Zara Sale was incredible and I had said that I mostly avoided sales this year. But the dress I picked up for six euro down from forty is a serious win. When I wear it I’ll pop it up here on Instagram. Have a fantastic weekend.

Since I’ve met Keith, my feelings on having a dog have done a complete 360! 

Although the thoughts of any living thing,  except Spiders obviously, been mistreated or hurt sickens me. I never considered having a pet. In my childhood home we never had so much as a goldfish. When I met Keith, I met his gorgeous Bichon, Max! He was adorable and lived to be like 17.  I called him the mandog, because he behaved like a little old man. We got Bomber last April (2016) when he was eight weeks old. He was a leap puppy (we now celebrate his birthday on the 1st march).

I never imagined that in one year I could be wrapped around this little monkey’s finger. I mean I can’t eat a steak without sharing it with him. I also find it hard to leave him in the house when we go out. I had heard about Paws Cafe, but decided to venture out there last week. I was hugely impressed. It was a gorgeous day at Ardgillan Castle, the grounds and gardens are stunning.  We walked through the rose garden to Paws.  There was a sun shower so we took refuge in doors.  Bomber loved it. We had coffee and a friend tried the avocado toast.  It looked unreal. (Can we take a minute to adore the table covers!) The coffee was good and it felt great to have Bomber with us. Have you been out to Paws?
