Erin go Bragh! Slainte! Craic! Yes, it’s true: St. Paddy’s Day is here!
Let’s get this out of the way now: it’s Paddy’s, not Patty’s. Though we learned this lesson circa Dublin St. Paddy’s 2009, I found a very impassioned website that explains why, and this guy is on a mission to end the madness (also, he points out that ordering a car bomb anywhere, and especially in Ireland, is really not ok.)
Back with me now? OK, so. I figure this is the best time to share a little travel announcement! If you haven’t guessed it by now…
Next month, I’m returning to Ireland!
Ahhh, the glory. The hubs and I will be making the trip sans wino, which feels like a bit of a sacrilege. Instead, I’ll be showing my other other half all my favorite Dublin spots, as this is only his second time on the Emerald Isle — and the first was just a six hour layover. (It counts because he had a Guinness and heard a band at The Brazen Head play “Dirt Old Town.”) We’ll also be meeting up with his fam, and making our way over to Cork & Galway. Am I excited?
HELLZ YES.
Details are still coming together, but one thing is for sure: while in Galway, we’ll be spending a few nights at The G Hotel. It was love at first click, and when I realized it was decorated by renowned milliner & Galway native Philip Treacy, I was sold. I poked around the gallery a bit, and absolutely love that the rooms are all very classic and tranquil with a few splashes of crazy. Like me, really:

Like, are those cupcakes on that coffee table? And where can I get seashell shaped throw pillows, huh? Even better, the Pink Salon exists somewhere inside this fairytale come true:

And so, naturally, this calls for a Style Spotter. Wait, but first, press play:
Classic, preppy, a bit nautical… but just, you know. With a bright pink twist. xo! the romantic

Hm vastly different from how girls in Galway dress. Think more layers, as they are on the water. And far less pink! I reckon a lot of navy and red.
Lazy Travelers
perhaps in reality, but mr. treacy lives in a dream world & the g hotel is proof. beaucoup de pink for everyone!

You guys were my inspiration for getting on Polyvore and acutally using it. And mostly because of SUPER cute outfits like this. Your Style Spotter feature is amazing. Carry on.

Huge Steve Earle fan and as soon as I saw the title I started to think of his song. Overjoyed to see the Youtube video linked. There needs to be more Steve Earle vids on travel blogs.

Ha, just the other day I was wondering if it was Party’s or Paddy’s. I must have felt some vibes coming from this blog. 😉 I hope to go to Ireland someday, not necessarily around March 17 though.
