Dear Readers, Happy post-bank holiday! One thing bout being really into clothes is that, as with any obsession, it proves to be the perfect distraction and a constant point of conversation. It also means that I have friends that are equally passionate about other things, like cars for example. That means I get to ‘borrow’ [...]

Dear Readers, You know how, at a certain age, you think you’ve pretty much heard all the interesting things you could possibly know about the place you’re from. And the smaller the town the younger you are, because the less there is find out. Coming from a very small town, I think I had barely [...]

Hey Readers, I hope you’re well. Last week was a kind of crazy one. Sometimes I find myself, even as a blogger, in a kind of everyday routine; last week really shook me out of it and I liked it! I know some people need routine but I’ve never really been one for it. I [...]

Hey Readers, I was sitting having coffee yesterday afternoon, when I commented on a woman who walked by; she looked absolutely pristine. Her make-up, hair, tan, pretty white trench, pressed blouse and polished heels were all perfect. She was walking at that pace that says, I’m in a bit of a hurry, so I presumed [...]

Dear Readers, Happy Monday, I have to tell you, I was chatting away to my friend Nic on Friday night as were walking along. I randomly looked up and saw the brightest rainbow. I’m quite keen on a nice bit of sky, clouds (see later in the week), moons, stars, you know the stuff. But [...]

I know, I know they say it every year, but my eternal optimism means I believe them every year too; I’m all for hoping they’re right. Plus, any excuse to think about [...]

Dear Readers, Nice day! Best thing about sunshine is, it gets you up and at ‘em. I woke up early, pulled on a tee, jeans and sandals and hit the road. Sans jacket, amazing! I fancied a bit of window shopping and went to that new shop, Soho Market, in Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre. It’s [...]

Dear Readers, Have a bit of Friday inspiration. Love Lily; for her honesty and don’t give a darn attitude? Probably. But love her style too, and as she picked up 3 Ivor Novello awards (including Songwriter of the Year, along with co-writer Greg Kurstin) last night she wore this: Amazing, I want it. Have a [...]

OR, Sunsets and Smocks Dear Readers, Today started off warm but cloudy; by lunchtime though all the clouds had gone, and so had these socks funnily enough. I took the photos earlier but I kinda wish I had waited. Because the clouds had dissolved the sunset was really pretty. It would have been lovely to [...]

Dear Readers, Forgive my playing truant. I’ve spent a busy few days researching and getting inspired. I reckon it’s good to take time out now and again to re-establish what it is that influences you. However eclectic your style or taste is. While doing a bit of on-line research I found Zara Taylor’s Jewellery. It’s [...]

I decided during our first week of hot weather that I wasn’t going to indulge in the usual flat gladiator sandals this summer. I wanted something a bit more classic. [...]
