So, those of you who are on Facebook may have seen that fellow Blogger, d’Irelande, the inimitable Ms. Blau von T of Blaubushka had a little jaunt up to the [...]

Hey All, I was bumbling around the internet earlier-on today and found a sight that sells some wicked T Shirts, which I’m gonna get to in just a sec… First though, if you’ll permit me, I’d like to have a little whinge for a paragraph or two.

OR: This is about as close to sport as I like to get. Hey All, After recommending it on here last Friday, I thought I should probably put in an appearance at Kings of Concrete. Ironically, spending most of the time there on the grass but anyway; I went along Saturday, kinda dragging poor Lorna [...]

OR: I have a fringe. Hey All, Thought I should do a VERY brief post on the fact that I have kind of new hair. I haven’t had a fringe in a long time. (I think about ten years?) Based on that information, you may think I’d've been pretty nervous about it getting one. But [...]

Hey All, Wow busy blog this week, after three posts in as many days, I think I might just have to have a little lie-down! So yeah, I had kind of a hard morning and was feeling a little bit rubbish to say the least. Boozy dinners at friend’s gaffs will get you every time. [...]

OR: One wholly inappropriate sartorial choice for a soggy Irish summer. Hey All, I’m crushing on every one of these photographs. I know that ankle / floor length white dresses and puddle-ridden Dublin streets are not exactly a match made in heaven, but still. I very much would like a pretty white maxi dress immediately [...]

Hey All, Long time no blog. I was honoured, to be asked to guess-post for one of  Ireland’s best blogs; A Chick Named Hermia last week. So I’ve worked my little fingers off, typing away at that for the last few days. I have no qualms about writing for my blog, but wow, I actually [...]

Hey All, So the bank holiday proved nothing spectacular, weather-wise. Rain however, is a great excuse to try transitional trends and the new season must haves, right? I was totally smitten with the Burberry Prorsum Shearling boots  at the AW10 shows (who wasn’t). And have waited to see the trend trickle through to the High [...]

Hey All, Don’t tell anyone, but apparently we’re set for a bit of summery weather this week. In eager anticipation, I’ve pulled out my ancient Fred Perry polo shirt. I thrifted it when I was in 6th year and have worn it religiously every summer since. Fred Perry’s are quite tomboyish, but I love how [...]
