So y’all already know who the Beaut.ie ladies are: Kirstie and Aisling seem to have been on the blogging scene forever, doling out advice and beauty reviews, as well as the odd hot fella poll (yes, seriously). Blogging awards down, industry accolades, newspaper columns – and now one of the Beaut.ie sisters has launched a [...]

Just because.

In the interests of full disclosure, let me just say that Abigail Smith is my cousin, and one of the most original and interesting musicians you’ll find in Dublin, if you’re looking.

Get on your boots

I love A/W fashion collections because, aside from the fact that there’s a whole load of knitwear, layered fabrics and autumnal patterns, the footwear selections are second to none. Boots are the perfect antidote to – or, rather, protection against – the shoddy Irish weather. If you can get the right boot selection, you can [...]

For a lack of blogging these past two days. Normal service will resume tomorrow; today I had to take a jaunt into town to speak on 4FM about sexy Halloween costumes, before going to the Screen cinema to see An Education (review tomorrow, tomorrow) after Wagamama deliciousness. Yum. Tonight I’m babysitting – tomorrow finishing an [...]

So Kate Moss’s Christmas 2009 collection for Topshop launched today online and instore – and what’s the deal? The first collection was launched to much fanfare, talk of it selling out; Kate’s collection was, quite literally, the next big thing, and would see us all looking and dressing like the venerable Ms Moss.

A morbid fascination

I’ve always been one for statement jewellery – it started off with huge, dangly earrings (a great selection at Costelloe & Costelloe, if you’re wondering) and soon graduated to vintage necklaces, piled on together, with bangles up the length of my wrists. I’ll admit I haven’t showcased this very well, but there’s always tomorrow for [...]

I have a day off today – the first in a while – so forgive me if I don’t blog until around midday. In the meantime, read this and see how you feel about Mr Gill now, Ciara; take a jive on over to Homebug to see Zee’s first outfit post (hurrah to more Irish [...]

It may be the kind of lazy option to consistently choose images from Ffffound, but it’s great – if you haven’t subscribed already, I’d recommend it. When you have a spare 10 or 15 minutes, browsing through the images that have racked up that day is really inspiring.
