Metallic Pants Ahead!

***UPDATE***
OH NO! They've just moved my desk!!! They say they accidentally gave me someone's desk that's on holiday. Yes, that's how barren the Irish keep their desks--you don't even know if they're assigned or not!!



I've been moved next to the copier (LORD knows how annoying that is). You actually have to shut the copier top so I can see into the room! I'm facing the main aisle through the office, and there is NO ONE in my row, so I'm alllll alone.



The worst part is, my view just went from a view of Wicklow mountain:


To a view of the Dublin Power Center smokestacks. I swear to God.

Kate, your ever-poor, always-window shopping friend, here with news from the fashion underground. Reporting from the mother continent of Dolce&Gabana, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Burberry, and all the haute couture that’s fit to covet, I bring you the Fashion Frontlines.

Closet Staple
The cropped jacket. Big buttons, vibrant colors and oversized collars are the distinguishing features.
How it’s worn: I usually see it with a simple top and leggings/skinny jeans and blouses with short-shorts and heels.

Get it for Summer
The flouncy tunic. It flatters all figures, and there’s been some version in nearly every store I’ve been in, which means everyone’s got one.
How it’s worn: With tight jeans and wedges.

Day or Night
Leggings….not that I’m wearing them (theres no trunk for junk on leggings, if you know what I mean), but they are everywhere. Just black, sometimes with lace at the bottom.

Accessory du Jour
Boyfriend. Men are in tow everywhere! Shopping, clubs, with holidayers, old and young and youngest…the hottest accessory in town is a tuned-out boyfriend with a glazed over look, holding all your shopping bags and footdragging past TVs with soccer matches on the screens.
