A cut above (or should that be below?)

So I went for the undercut, but an afternoon in Dublin awaiting the Luas that never came (for a change) in the wind and very hot in a new cardigan from H&M means it just don’t look so hot no more. But worry not, I shall wash the hair and show it off, anew, tomorrow. [...]

Right here, right now

I’m currently in the hairdresser’s (oh, the joy of scheduled posts) and am hoping to emerge with something like this. Only time will tell how brave I am, or how stupid my hairdresser is. . . I’d imagine I’d have to have quite the, um, bone-structured face, to pull this off. As well as which, [...]

In Dublin’s fair city. . .

Is the Light House cinema. Now, not only do Dubliners think it’s cool, The Coolhunter thinks it’s cool too. Wowza! It has to be said, the Light House is definitely the slickest cinema I’ve been to: the design is just gorgeous. It’s one of those really cool places to go, almost like a museum, but [...]

Ode to student life. . .

Next week, on October 6th and 7th, Topshop will host more of its infamous student love-ins discount nights, complete with DJs, happy style advisers, drinks, sweets and – oh yes, a 20% discount on all purchases, plus PLUS a goodie bag. There’s a little selection, readers, for your delectation, of the kinda duds I’d hit [...]

The sound. . . and the fury

Shut your eyes for this one, because the video ain’t that much to look at. But it makes sense. We’re just too good at never getting our timing right, so for right now I’ll have to keep putting my loving on standby.

Auf wiedersehen, Berlin

What was my overall feeling about Berlin? I’m undecided. In the absence of decision – and of my own photographs, which are languishing on my camera and will remain there for a few days, or at least until I feel more normal – I’ll post a photograph that I feel gives a good impression of [...]

Mother Germany, day one

Please excuse the visual mediocrity of this post; I am in Berlin and my access to a laptop is, well, not there. Things to report so far? Whoever said Cos was amazing – yes, UK Vogue, that means you – was lying. Dull colour schemes, duller designs and VERY short tops, of which I have [...]

Ooh, girl, shock me like an electric eel

That song is in my head, mainly because of the top I wore today, which has some kind of technological print all over it. And zips. God, I love that it’s the season of the exposed zip. What else do I love? Asos. Which is where I got this particular beauty, and from where I [...]

Why do you care what I’m wearing?

You might not, but it’s hardly an original art form. I started doing it when I realised how much inspiration I was taking from other bloggers – and first and foremost (loathe as I am to admit that I get style inspiration from anyone else) was Jessica Schroeder. Fittingly, she’s rocking a Mad Men look [...]
