Would you slip them on?

Little old man-esque slippers are cropping up on a lot of fashionistas feet as of late. At first I wasn't all that convinced that a young lady like myself should wear shoes that evoke images of grandfathers with big cigars, billowing smoke, whiskey tumblers and finely pressed newspapers. But when I spotted them on the models at The Row 2011 A/W Collection my mind quickly changed. Now I'm slightly in love these beauties and scouring the market for a pair for myself.
What are your thoughts? Are they chic or the ultimate faux pas?

P.S. The last pair by Charlotte Olympia are my favourite! How cute are they?!

Perhaps someday I'll post regularly...

In other news check out my AMAZING Missoni-esque nails by Aoife at The Alpha Nail.

Blossoming

It's been a while...too long in fact. Apologies for that. My studies sort of took over the last year but now I'm back and bolder than ever! I think this editorial sums up my mood and life in general right now as I close one chapter and enter into an exciting future.

Loving all things French and tongue-in-cheek, I adore this editorial....

Scanlan & Theodore Spring 2011

I'm a sucker for anything that is grunge-glam, and Scanlon and Theodore's classically cut dresses are über-luxurious in a chic and understated fashion. 
Erin Wasson's 'je ne sais quoi' makes it all the more interesting...

Désolé

It seems as though the only thing I do on this blog is apologise for my absence.
But lets face - being in sixth year (Irish exam year) and trying to have time for yourself doesn't exactly go hand in hand.

Anyway, now that I have a bit of time I'm gonna let you all in on some things that have happened recently...

As some Irish readers may know, Oxfam has tee'med up with some of Ireland's incredibly gifted designers in support of Climate Change, one of Oxfam's biggest initiatives. Designers such as Peter O'Brien, Eilis Boyle,  Alison Conneely, Una Burke and Joanna Hynes were among the few who helped design these amazing fairtrade tees.

I was lucky enough to be asked to take part in the fab campaign styled by Angela Scanlon and photographed by Johnny Savage. (Incredible name or what?)

Check me out in Eilis Boyle's gorgeous tee...

Here are some of my other favorite shots from the day. Tee's are available in A|wear stores and on awear.com. A big thanks to hairstyling and make-up extraordinaires Maurice Flynn and Kate O'Reilly for beautifying us all!

Are you aware of A|wear?

A|wear is one of those Irish stores we often take for granted. Fresh off the catwalk styles. Check. Boutique style service. Check. Affordable prices points. Check. Celebrity following. Check...well there is now!

Despite being 25 years old A|wear has really come to a forefront in the past few years. I'm lucky to be close to the A|wear girls, even having done work experience there a few years ago. I remember the first time they got noticed in Elle, and being younger probably didn't understand the full potential of it. Now at the grand old age of 18, I've copped on and was over the moon to find out this chic high street store made it into the pages of Vogue. Yes, the fashion bible is letting everyone in on our dirty little secret!
Check out their faux fur gilet at a prudent €50 below, beside the likes of Armani, Kenzo...you know the likes...

Interested in finding out more? Check out their amazing website http://www.awear.com/ and their little video (featuring stylist extraordinaire Angela Scanlon) that will fill you in on all you need to know about their latest collection.

Abandoned

I understand that this blog has been subject to abandonment lately and I apologise.
As of late there seems to be a lot in my head and unfortunately sometimes life can be a bitch.
I would like to take a chance to thank Freja for expressing my mood below..... :-p

Happy weekend x

Girl Crush

It seems like Jesscia Hart is tugging on everyone's heart strings at the moment. With her impeccable style and cute gap toothed smile, this girl from down under is certainly making a name for herself on street style blogs.

Here is some of my favourite photos of her taken from her blog. To catch more of them check out her fantastic blog here..http://jessicahart.net/blog/
