Hey All, My dear friend and fellow blogger Ms White Rabbit over at Quirky Fashion blog, invited me to stay at her rather gorgeous new home in Wicklow (complete with a heluva view of the Wicklow mountains), last weekend. I was on the N81 armed with a bag full of inappropriate clothing for country dwelling, [...]

Hey All, I don’t know about you but I go through these mini, trend phases. For example, at the beginning of the week I was completely into wearing black and white; last week was all about brights and colour blocking. It seems the end of the week has filled me with the want to wear [...]

Hey All, Charity fashion shows don’t come in this shape and form very often. To celebrate 125 years in the business of keeping certain parts of the female anatomy from heading southwards, Triumph have themed this years’ Inspiration Awards (TIA), ‘125 of Celebrating Women‘. Design students from around the world were challenged to conceptualize and [...]

Hey All, Short of throwing on a bikini and throwing myself off the 40 ft at Sandycove, I could hardly be readier for summer. So I was delighted to get the chance to look at the Spring/Summer ’11 at F21 last week. After a ridiculously busy start to European trading, Forever 21 is now shoppable [...]

Hey All, I’m gonna do a few posts today, I think. Sometimes you just can’t cull the stories you hear about. First up is the new accessories line from Joanne Hynes which launched earlier this month. Influenced by her time in both India and Ireland the unique pieces include a mock-crock leather clutch, the ‘French [...]

Hey All, me again. Opposites in fashion are rife; department stores & independent boutiques, vintage & current season, fast fashion & Haute Couture… and functional & decorative. Quite often, especially in recent seasons, these elements cross paths to create something really impressive. Three years ago, Nike and Liberty of London collaborated on a trainer collection [...]

Hey All, Just a quick note, I went to this last year and had a really good day. Explained, sort of, in a post here. (…how weird is it to look back at old blog posts?) If last years’ event is anything to go by, then this weekend’s Vintage Fashion and Décor Fair at the [...]

Hey All, I watched Grease the other day, it was on Film 4 and I sat thinking how much 70′s fashion had influenced the film’s costumes. So much so that even though it was set in the 50′s – the cars, diner’s, and Letterman sweaters seem pretty spot on – you don’t really realise it [...]

There’s a few posters around town for the latest production on at the Abbey Theatre, George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion. Apparently being show at the Abbey for the first time in its history, which is hard to believe. [...]

Hey All, Today’s post is brought to you by the colour orangy-red and the word minimal. I’ve spent the last two years going hyper on eye make-up. Lashings of gel, liquid and Kohl eye-liner and tonnes of smoky eye-shadow. I fancy a change, and it comes courtesy of Gucci, Fendi, and Diane von Furstenberg (SS11) [...]

Hey All, … After a month or so, wearing black which has been heavily reflected in my blog posts. Summer seems to be waiting, for something… so I think it’s time to go a little brighter. Clashing prints being the main objective. Florals and feathers being the two prints; Palazzo pants and a sheer tie-front [...]

It was held last Saturday at the stunning Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin. I went along to see the show in the afternoon, it was a pretty fashion-heavy crowd too. I spotted [...]

Hey All, Right If I’m going to embrace this 70′s thing – knowing that if I do, I’m going all the way through to Autumn / Winter 2011 – then I’m doing it with gusto. I’m thinking 70′s secretary; pussy-bow blouses, big shades; A-Line minis, or midi-length skirts worn with chunky heeled knee-high boots. I’m [...]
