Corca Dhuibhne
As you can see from the pictures, the Dingle Peninsula is quite a sight to see. To go with this location, I decided to create a look that was casual, comfy and cute at the same time. The green top and the celtic knot necklace are to go with the irish theme. The oxford shoes go perfectly with the "casual, comfy, cute" idea behind this look.

Not an outfit you can use to play golf, but that's what the location inspired me to create. And no, there isn't anything related to the olympics this time. The green flats are a win to Ireland.

Inspired once more by the olympics, especially since I'm not how Irishmen would react if they saw so many Union Jacks in one outfit (the location being another hotel in Ireland). Team GB is doing very well, even if I was a bit sad that Roger Federer lost against Murray, but I was still glad for Murray. He deserved every bit of that gold medal. Hey, he did beat the player I hate the most after all. But enough about tennis, since Team GB is doing really well during these Olympic Games in other events.
I'm also very proud that Canada got it's first gold medal. Just one gold medal compared to all the ones China and the US won doesn't seem much, but just one can make an entire country overly happy. That sounded childish, but it's true.

Again inspired by both the location and the olympics. I went for a more city-appropriate look while still using colors of countries I support. This time, the blue, red and white are for Team GB and France, but the handbag still hints at where my heart truly lays at the end of the day: Canada. As you can see, the word "Canada" is printed on the bag and it is from Dsquared2, who are Canadian designers.

Mixed inspiration for this set. Both the olympics and the location inspired me. The outfit goes with the countryside location while most of the colors go with the olympics. The white and red represent of course the colors of Canada and of two other countries I support (Japan and Switzerland). Don't worry, I also root for team GB. After all, they are hosting the games and, as a Canadian, the Vancouver games experience is still fresh in my memory and I think the UK should have the same experience.
The ring represents the bronze medal, which the Canada has 4 of, and the sneakers have a bit of gold and silver sparkles, so you can guess what they represent. I created this set before Canada won it's silver medal in rowing, so the shoes weren't chosen because of that. Anyway, congrats Team Canada!

Cluichí Oilimpeacha
Another hotel, but because I wasn't inspired by the location, I decided to get inspired by the Olympics, hence the red and white colors, the colors of Canada. As for the gold necklace and the golden shoes, they represent what we all want for our country: a gold medal.
I would like to congratulate Emilie Heymans and Jennifer Abel for their bronze medal, the first medal for Canada. Félicitation!
(Edit: My set doesn't seem to appear. Maybe it's just me, but if it happens to you, click here)

Out of the city and back into Ireland's countryside, even if I'm pretty sure there is more to Dublin than pubs, an old hotel and a restaurant with two Michelin stars. But I follow the locations in the books... Anyway, since the Aran Islands seem to need a comfy outfit to vsit them, I went with a sweater which is kinda green, a nice pair of jeans, flat ankle boots (designed by the blogger behind "The Blond Salad") and a backpack to drag along all the essentials when one does a lot of walking. The earrings and the hair accessory add a little something while still staying with the whole nature/countryside theme.
P.S. Congrats to London for a great opening ceremony!
