Spring has well and truly sprung

Ireland is currently experiencing a bit of a heat wave.......and it is still only March! It has put everybody in such a great mood, it's amazing how good weather can do that. Hopefully this is a sign of a beautiful warm summer ahead so we can get the most out of our summer wardrobe. This fabulous weather has me in the mood to go shopping for all the gorgeous spring clothes that have hit the shops in the last couple of weeks, roll on payday Friday!

Oh Blake....

Not usually a huge fan of Blake Lively's style but I absolutely adore this image of her. Super chic. She reminds me of a modern Brigitte Bardot.

I don't have any tattoos. It's not that I have an aversion to them, nor am I afraid of needles. ( I donate blood every three months!) The simple reason being is that I'm too indecisive, too fickle. I often grow tired of things quickly and change my mind at the blink of an eye. Tattoos are too definite, too long term, too 'there for life'.

One other reason that I have never gone down the path of getting 'inked'  is perhaps that I've never been so inspired by an idea or seen a tattoo that I absolutely adore or found something meaningful that I want on me for life.

However....the above image caught my eye a while ago and every time I come across it, I'm growing more and more attached. It's so beautiful, so liberating, I just love it.

I recently heard someone describe their tattoos, as being part of their body, like their nose or their hands. I never thought of it like that before.

What do you think of tattoos?
