I went shopping today
for a few bits and bobs! Been working so much lately that I decided I deserved
a little spending time so off I went to browse around Dublin after college.
My main mission was
to get a comfy pair of casual shoes just to wear around because most of my
shoes have heels and even though they are comfy, I just wanted a nice pair of
casual trainers.
My first stop was
Pennys on Henry Street as I walked by it on Saturday on the way to the Dublin
Bloggers Meet Up and had to control my urge to go in then. When I went in I was
completely lost at first….it was so much bigger than the one in Galway! I loved
it! Most of the upstairs is shoes so I had a nice time browsing around to find
the right pair. Unfortunately the pair I originally wanted didn’t come in black
so I settled for a pair like it just without the lovely studs on the sides!
Still happy with the buy! :D
€11 for these beauts in Pennys |
I then proceeded to
look for some earrings as I literally only had one pair left. Since I had stretched
my ears a couple of years ago and let them go back to normal, earrings just tend
to fall out. So I always have to make sure I have backs for them. I used to
have about 5 pairs of lovely owl earrings but one of each pair would always fall
out of my ear without me knowing and is gone forever! I do enjoy mismatching
the remaining ones I have but really needed to get some more. Also all my stud
earrings got lost too!
I found a nice set of
studs in Pennys which suited me perfectly.
€3 for the necklace€3 for the set of studs also in Pennys <3 |
After Pennys I went into New Look to have a look around and
ended up finding some lovely feather earrings and a beautiful owl earrings and
necklace set….was so happy with this buy!
(If you haven’t realized by now…I love owls….)
€7.99 for the matching owl earrings and necklace. €5.85 for the gorgeous feather earrings both in New Look |
I also saw an umbrella that I just had to have….needed to
get one after the horrible rain we’ve been having in Ireland lately! (Guess
what was on the umbrella? :P)
€12.99 for this cute umbrella...I just had to have it |
Owls of course…. <3
I decided that was enough shopping for one day as I had
spent enough money but then of course on my way out of the shopping centre I ventured
into The Art and Hobby Shop…..bad idea…..ended up coming out with a cute little
crafts book for sewing and stitching….. But I love it all the same :D
€25.99 in the Art and Hobby Shop My most expensive buy today but it had to be done! |
Then that was it! I controlled my urge to go into any more
shops and made my way towards my bus stop. I didn’t know when the bus was but then I suddenly got a craving for a Starbucks Caramel Frappuchino….. I then had to
have one. It had been so long since I had gotten a Starbucks. So off I went,
past my bus stop and over to dame street where I ventured into Starbucks for my
caffeine fix.
The guy at the desk was just lovely and I was chatting to
him for a few minutes after he took my order, he was really pleasant to chat to. Then finally the beloved Frappuchino
arrived…. I took my coffee and happily made my way to the bus stop, not really
caring if I had to wait awhile for my bus home.
The real cherry on top though was as I arrived at the stop
the bus showed up! A perfect ending to my shopping trip in town. <3

Note to self: Don't take credit card with you to Dublin when you have money....:P
