Sneaky shopping trip to River Island!

Headed to Dublin yesterday to go to a concert with the bf! Of course I had to make sure we arrived a few hours early for a trip to Nandos (still don't have one in Limerick boooo!) and more importantly to indulge in some much needed retail therapy! I hadn't really planned on picking up anything really I just wanted to have a browse around before payday! We disembarked our bus (I know tres chic!) on Westmoreland street and headed up Grafton street for a gander. The first shop we headed into was the old reliable River Island! To be honest I haven't bought much in their recently partly because I have been doing most of my shopping online. It was definitely worth the visit however. I feel that the Grafton street branch is one of the best stocked and merchandised out of any I've been to, larger stores in London included! They really adopt the "see now, buy now" principle and you can easily pull outfits together. Their range of accessories is also fantastic, particularly handbags! I'm loving slouchy boyfriend tees lately and I found this fab one with rose gold print.

It's slouchy and easy to wear without looking like you nicked it from your man! The rose gold adds that touch of glam! I also picked up these sandals for €35, some of you may think that's a little steep but I see them as a shoe more so than a sandal. I feel that they are more city wear, personally I won't be wearing them to the beach!

They're also super lightweight and comfy and my feet survived the entire concert in them. I also picked up some hoop earrings in keeping with my white and gold theme! These finger tip rings had to be purchased too at only €4 for the pair, super cute and this season it is definitely all about the detail!

 Planning on heading back up next week after payday to get another couple bits I've had my eye on so stay tuned!x
