Dublin day 1

Last week I was on another trip, this time to Dublin (Ireland). And these are the pictures of a very amusing yet way too short vacation.
Trinity College, university of Dublin and university of many famous writers, for example Oscar Wilde.


The statue of Molly Malone.

Me in front of a pub called 'Bruxelles' and next to Phil Lynott, Thin Lizzy's bass player.

Stephen's Green, the gorgeous shopping mall.


The typical coloured doors of Dublin. They are refreshingly bright considering the houses themselves tend to be rather bland.
The Camden area, which shows indeed some similarities with the Camden in London.
No visit to Dublin without some Guinness!

Christ Church Cathedral, which I thought was a lot more beautiful than St. Patrick's Cathedral.

Dublin Castle.



A very charming indoor market, very Covent Garden-like.

Another indoor shopping/art/restaurant complex, with a quite interesting design.

The Ha'Penney bridge.
The Liffey.
The Millennium Spire, nicknamed by people from Dublin as 'the stiffy on the Liffey' or 'the erection on the intersection'. Haha. :)
Dublin by night: The Temple Bar.
And a whole lot of street musicians. The guy with the pink sunglasses was a vagabond by day, the new Johnny Cash by night.
My dad buying a demo from this cool folk/rock band.

Baby get shaky after school

I can't believe how quickly summer is moving on. It seems to break my heart every year a little more. Here are some pictures of me and my sis enjoying the sun and pretending to be rich playing board games. :)

There's a science to fear

After getting back from France, there was lots to do. The yearly 10-day festivities in Ghent were going on and my dearest Make Up Club of course took part in these celebrations. I went to Ghent twice that week. The first time for the 'Mojo Nights', when Sis and his mates were dj'ing. They were good as ever, unfortunately there weren't too many people attending and the party was over waaay too soon.


A couple of days later, I was back for the second edition of Icons. I still remember the first edition as the best party I've ever been to at Make Up (or anywhere, in fact), so I was thrilled to be there for the new one. Me and the girls had a little warm-up with cocktails...
...and pure vodka...
...in this cool bar Tessa brought us to.

Then it was time to party! Icons² lasted a whole lot longer than the Mojo Nights party and was pretty great again.

Côte d'Azur: day 9

Day 9: our last active day in France was pretty relaxed. We went to the small but fine Grimaud and some other tiny villages. The day after, we went back home. :(




Thank you for all the nice comments on my pictures!
