Hey All, I’ve got loads to blog about this week. I had such a great weekend in the Dublin sunshine; I went to an amazing gig on Saturday; if you get a chance to see Dublin band The Revellions at some point, do it. I spent the next day making the most of the sea [...]

Hey All, So you might’ve realised at this stage that I have a second, nearly-all-consuming passion. Not only do I frikkin adore all things sartorial, I quite like listening to a bit of music here and there too. Luckily then, Dublin is pretty darn fantastic for live music. Last Saturday, for example, I went along [...]

Hey All, I love the fact that Dublin is on the coast, sea air and Sundays are essential if you love here. Plus my two most favourite things about Dublin are in these photos; seagulls (though it’s more about the noise they make) and the candy-striped towers at Poolbeg. The dress is from Topshop; they [...]

Hey All, This week I’m mostly craving printed maxi skirts and dresses. 60′s / 70′s vintage printed, maxi skirts and dresses to be more precise. Since I’d noticed Wild Child vintage clothing had moved from Georges St. Arcade to Drury Street., I thought a bit of window shopping / dressing-up was in order. The new [...]

Hey All, This week I went to visit mates in London and go party at the Notting Hill Carnival and in Camden; One of my favourite parts of London. Anyway I wore an amazing vintage leather and fur coat (circa 1968), DIY-distressed shorts, mock stockings, suede KG boots and loads of vintage accessories. Which was [...]

Hey All, I’m sure at this stage you’ve seen the recent photo campaign from A|wear’s AW10 collection. You know the pretty ones with the girl who’s dressed a bit like Duffy with a scruffy beehive? Lovely right? The thing is, as cute as they are, there’s so much more on offer in-store than the beatnik [...]

Hey All, I promise this is the last thing a write about A|wear this week, but if you haven’t already, you’ve got to see the vid from their FB page. Angela Scanlon (Irish Independent fashion blogger and all round fashion guru) presents it; a few fashion / style peeps (and yours truly) were asked for [...]

Hey All, You know how there are one or two places in Dublin that really are picture perfect no matter what the weather is. Ha’penny Bridge is one of them so instead of pulling on an anorak and some laced-up Hi-Tecs to go hang out there, I went with my highest heels, a cheese-cloth dress [...]

Hey all, What with the blogger bash and all sorts of other goings on, last week was a busy one. Not least a charity fashion show / design competition organised by 3M in aid of Laura Lynn House. Entrants to the competition had to design an outfit using only 3M products. That includes things like, [...]

OR: Because tights shouldn’t always be 60 denier and plain black… Hey All, Don’t you agree, there’s no better way to improve a Monday morning than by receiving some yum online purchases through the post? (I ordered this little lot last Tuesday evening from tightsplease.co.uk). Yes, I’ve been on-line shopping but, I’m delighted with the [...]

Hey All, Happy Monday. I’m not sure if it was because board games were boring; we had a bizarre sense of enjoyment or it was simply because we weren’t allowed to watch Grange Hill, but while my sister and I were growing up, our favourite game, by a million miles, was dressing up. We actually [...]

Hey All, I needed a new pair of jeans; plain, simple, straight-leg blue jeans. (Yeah I know, zzzzz) But anyway, when the need to buy classic jeans comes round, I always go  for an American brand. Like J Brand, True Religion, 7 for all Mankind, etc. They always fit perfectly – they usually contain Lycra, [...]

Hey All, I was invited to a friends house-warming at the weekend. She’s moved into a house that was built in 1908, and she’s is in the process of ‘doing it up’. The plan was to have a house-warming before the carpets and other pricey home improvements / renovations are completed. Clever girl. Anyway, she’d [...]

Hey All, During the latter part of the 80′s there was a kind of back lash to all the plastic fantastic, big shoulders and brash colours. It saw the rise in popularity in shops like Laura Ashley and  fabrics like muslin and flowery Chintz . – Think Cassandra in Only Fools and Horses and you [...]

Hey all, So after Tuesday’s post, I was kinda of inspired by the music; specifically the lyrics. ‘In a Discotheque at Dawn‘, makes me think of  stuff  that only really happens at festivals. Dancing till the sun comes up is usually the preserve of summertime and being outdoors. Anyway I went to the student night [...]
