ROSEMARY MAC CABE

So, it being New Year’s Eve, a little dress-up was appropriate and, as an introduction to my today’s outfit, let me show you who it was inspired by. I have about 50 blogs in my Google Reader, and at any given moment more than 1,000 new items to read, so getting through them all can [...]

This photograph has single-handedly motivated me to clean my biker boots, which have been languishing in our utility room since I absolutely filthied them at this year’s Electric Picnic. Ah, sweet, sweet, online inspiration; it’s amazing how many fashion blogs I’ve started to follow in the past six months, from which I regularly glean inspiration [...]

There’s something horrendously compelling about makeovers, and I’m not just talking about the TV makeover type of thing: no, I’m talking home makeovers. There are people all over making over their homes, and doing a jolly good job of it. Oh I feel very British now, “jolly good” and so on. But check it: These [...]

As if IKEA weren’t enough, now comes Hetta, right out of the Nordic countries and into my life. Well, a girl can dream. I’m still working on the mortgage; then comes the house, then the interior decorating. via Design*Sponge

To paraphrase a George Michael song, horribly I know. These are some interiors inspiring me in my house-hunt.

Who knew? When The Sartorialist was here, he snapped at least one shot. I say “at least” because this is the one that made it to his blog. Who knows if he took millions, and decided to settle for this one as The One? I love the Mona Lisa-esque half smile. I wonder if this [...]

Fashion blogging is one thing, but finding inspiration among the legions of other fashion bloggers is definitely the biggest perk of being online. Today’s selection?
