The sunniest Sunday I’ve seen in months called for a summery outfit – note: tights still needed (it’s not summer yet!) Sunglasses – Tom FordBlouse – PenneysNecklace – PenneysSkirt – MissguidedShoes – BoohooBag – Celine I love this blouse my sister sent me from Penney’s in Ireland. My necklace is from there too – god …
I feel so lucky that I get to travel with my job, especially considering it’s my first job, but its really not all play and no work – even though my Instagram might suggest differently. We were travelling for events called the Jump into Ireland events where basically we promote Ireland to travel agents and …
Today marks my 6th month anniversary with New York, and we’ve never been more in love. It scares me to think how quickly it has gone by but also makes me excited to see what is to come in the next 6 months. Of course there are things I hate about being so far from …
The weekly trip to Soho on a Saturday is becoming a bit of a routine. I love Soho – it’s probably my favourite area in the city. There is a never ending list of restaurants to visit, too many shops to name and the people-watching can’t be beaten. There are so many hidden gems on …

We arrived just in time to head out to experience Miami’s famous nightlife. Our first stop was STORY nightclub, where we met Steve Aoki after he finished …
Irish Central recently featured this article on their website. It was a nice way to recap on my experience here so far. First up, we look at the world of marketing and tourism in New York with Louise Cooney, a Public Relations and Business Tourism Assistant with Tourism Ireland. Louise, from Limerick, is a recent …
I wanted to write this post to show not only some of the things I’ve learned about Ireland since working in Tourism Ireland but also to make a bucket list for myself when I go back next year. I find myself looking at photos in work all the time, and wondering why I never went …
Worth the 4 and a half hour bus ride to see the House of Cards building alone. Me being the big tourist I am loved all the site-seeing there was to do, there is so much history but it’s got a good nightlife vibe too. Apart from the fact that all off licences (liquor stores) …
