你饿吗?

Kinsale is said to be Ireland's culinary capital. I didn't create this look base on that info though, as I just read it. The picture at the top, with the water, led me to pick the dress. I then picked everything else based on that dress. And yes, I did chose the necklace because of the name of this blog, "cinq" meaning "five" in french.


Oh, and happy Canada Day to all Canadians!

Uaisle

Ireland! As you can see, I decided to go for a color traditionally associated with Ireland: green. I have never been to Dromoland castle, "home to one of the few native Gaelic families of royal blood" (Schultz, 1000 Places to See Before You Die, p.66), but I have been to the Cliffs of Moher which are a 30-minute drive from the castle, now a hotel. The cliffs are quite impressive and also  a bit scary when you have a fear of heights when you lean over the edge, thing you can't do anymore since they places a fence to prevent people from going near the edge. At least, that's what I read. When I was there, there was only a low brick wall that a 5 years old could have climbed over, hence how I (and many others... if not everyone) was able to get near the edge. I have to admit I didn't really looked over the edge as I was keeping my back against the rocky "wall" and trying not to look down.

Anyway, about this outfit. Because of the location's past, I decided to go with a sophisticated look.

Eglwys Gadeiriol Tyddewi

This is the last UK location in the book "1000 Places to See Before You Die". Since it's a cathedral, I decided to go for a respectful look, adding a bit of "humph" with the sparkling sneakers.

According to the author of "1000 Places to See Before You Die", Plas Bodegroes is the best place to eat in the country. The thing is, I'm not sure if by country she means Wales or the UK. Either way, best places to eat are usually elegant so I decided to go for an elegant (and expensive) look. My favorite item in this outfit is the ring as it is quite delicate and elegant. The price tag though is not as charming. I also love the color of the dress, a color which seems to always give us the impression of sophistication.

Trèan

A chic casual look for an elegant train trip. Notice the picture on the upper left corner. If you are a Harry Potter fan, you'll probably recognize it as the railroad bridge we see in the first movies. The train, on the other hand, is not the Hogwarts Express.

Skibo Castle is now operated as the Carnegie Club, a members-only club and hotel, so visiting it might be difficult. I went for an elegant look to go with the members-only club atmosphere.

Pastel colors... again... but this time, the locations are scottish castles. I thought the dress had a sort of modern regal look that fitted with the castle theme. The accessories were meant to go with the dress.
