The autumn chill might be creeping into the air but fear not – you still have time to sneak in a few summer adventures before the season slips away entirely! 

For a day trip with a difference this weekend, why not combine a wardrobe update with a trip to one of the many delights on your doorstep?

Introducing a Day Trip to Chic, ably illustrated by fashion blogger Tara Marzuki. Tara has collaborated with designer mecca Kildare Village to create five such Day Trips, so every week this month we’re  checking back in and sharing a video of Tara in one of five stunning locations.

For each video, blogger Tara will be sporting a look sourced from the boutiques of Kildare Village, where you too can find divine designer buys at 60% off the RRP all year round. This week, Tara is rocking stylish sunnies, colourful clutches and delicate lace on a trip to the Irish National Stud and Gardens.

Tara’s Day Trip to The Irish National Stud and Gardens

Tara writes:

“The Irish National Stud and Gardens located in Kildare is a beautifully elegant spot and the perfect place for your Day Trip to Chic. I had the opportunity to walk around the Gardens, cross the iconic red bridge in St Fiachra’s garden and I got to meet Kicking King, the Cheltenham Gold Cup winning horse – he was so sweet!  

For this look I chose a classic mini dress from Karen Millen – it can be styled differently all year round – and I stuck with the three-colour rule, which is an easy way of combining colours without going overboard. To keep the look modern, I paired a mixture of classic and fun accessories. The cobalt pumps and bouclé jacket are timeless wardrobe pieces but this French Connection necklace and Lulu Guinness clutch add more personality and originality into an outfit. The cut of this dress makes it uber-flattering and completely comfortable, perfect for a summer occasion or day of frolicking in the gardens.”
