I’ve been listening to a lot of Ke$ha lately, my problems with the dollar sign notwithstanding, and it was to her hip-hop-pop soundtrack that I dressed myself on this fine, cold morning. Having been skiing for a week, I was determined to keep up the exercise ante so I went for a brisk walk in [...]

I have a really big face, okay? So when I cover up my also-quite-big hair with a hat, my face looks even bigger. Lesson learned. Then again, yesterday was freezing and 20 minutes with my feet practically stuck in the car heater didn’t warm me up, so I reserve the right to look fat-faced.

I love [...]

So, first things first: remember how I said I was going to go on a diet? Well, I did. I’m on day three, and I am starving. I know they say you should never be that hungry, because that’s a surefire way to fail, but I am a firm believer that, especially after Christmas, it [...]

It occurred to me this weekend that almost all of the style blogs I follow are American – mostly out of necessity because there just aren’t that many Irish ladies doing this. Do you know of any Irish gals doing personal style posts I’m missing out on? [...]

So I woke up today feeling okay, before slowly sinking into the worst cold I’ve had in a while. So I put on my Uggs, a comfy (and flowery) ensemble courtesy of Asos (everything bar the Uggs is from there), and sank into the couch (and my slanket, ahem) for some film therapy. Here I [...]

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 be [...]

Best of 2009

Oh, how exhausting these seemingly non-exhaustive lists are. We’ve got the best films, best CDs, best celebrity meltdowns, best tabloid covers, best fights, best reality TV. . . and so on, of 2009. So now here’s my best of 2009. My best six outfits (which wasn’t too difficult, as I only have around 20 in [...]

Printed dress by Motel, black footless tights from Dunnes, black studded boots from Penneys, black cardigan from Bershka, black patent leather bag by Marni, printed scarf – vintage.
(As an aside, I’m being forced to point out that, for the next few days, I’m going to be dressing a little more adventurously as my sister is [...]

Who hasn’t been to Monty’s in Rathgar yet? I would highly recommend it. Delicious Nepalese food, really polite (and cute!) waiters, almost a full history of Nepalese cuisine, delicious wine . . . I could go on. But I won’t. Check it out. I went, with my family, for our annual Christmas dinner – where [...]
