what will i wear today?
Fashion and TV
Now I am a big fan of The Tracksuit. Never been ashamed to admit it. I have a collection of hoodies and sweatpants that aggressively compete with my flirty little dresses and vast shoe collection for wardrobe space. For every instance recorded of me dressing up in fine gowns and layers of jewellery, I [...]
There’s a lot of hoo-ha about Sky Atlantic and the onslaught of must-see, best-thing-since-Sopranos, new dramas. Eulogizing and hyperbole aside (how much money are Sky pumping into this venture? And why did they decide to wheel out Tom Selleck?), there is one irrefutable point to note. Boardwalk Empire is riddled with fashion. Yes – we [...]
Here is Keira can’t-close-my-mouth Knightly. I’m not a fan of her work but clearly cannot pretend she ain’t good looking. It’s nice to see her makeup pared down and I do love the hair. But as much as I love the beige catsuit and Ducati… this ad leaves me cold. Firstly there’s the bizarro storyline, [...]
So, Word on the street has it that the one and only Blake Lively is set to step into Sarah Jessica Parker’s ($600 Manolo Blahnik) shoes as Carrie Bradshaw in ‘Sex And The City’ (Revived and Restyled). Now at first, being a religious follower of Sex And The City and having finished all 6 series [...]
Some more style shots from our Black Swan Day of fun. Skirt from A-Wear, remainder assembled from the Mc Ginn wardrobe. Check out the awesome make-up painted by the fair hand of Grace. You wouldn’t know that there was dribbles of coleslaw and cheese removed from the chin area only moments before. You try eating [...]
So here are the photos from our shoot with RTE Off The Rails a few weeks ago. The theme was Urban, Gritty, and Grungey Black Swan (yes…we’re THAT hardcore!). It was all ballet skirts, fluffy tulle and feminine silks, toughened up with BLACK BLACK leather, chains, studs and Chunky Chunky shoesies. The make-up was sweeping [...]
When Lorna heard that Anne Hathaway was going to play the new Catwoman, drastic action was required. Anne Hathaway of insipid, bland mediocrity? Of Princess films and ill-judged rom-coms? Of earnest good looks and distinctly indistinct style? Holy Tedium Batman, this one sounds like a doozy. Lorna to the rescue, interpreting her version of the [...]
I love award season. The golden globes left me a bit cold however and there are no words for the monstrocities that appeared at the National TV awards (cheryl love put the tramp stamp away). However, the big one is coming and in four weeks it will be OSCAR time. So I was thinking of [...]
Nylon TV check out the style of the coolest chicks in the world…surfer babes. Just some light Thursday entertainment for ye!
While nothing stood out majorly on the red carpet there were a few nice looks.
WHY OH WHY?! I just don’t understand how we can have people like ClemencePoesy, Zooey Deschanel, Carey Mulligan and dare I say the super-cool, sickeningly on-trend Alexa Chung walking our streets (well.. the much cooler, cleaner and richer streets) and yet so many people chose to follow the style of Cher Lloyd. Yes people I said it. [...]
As a film, Tron Legacy was bloated, leaden and sluggish. The plot was unnecessarily convoluted, the dialogue was cringey and the viewing experience was more about endurance than enjoyment. Granted the Daft Punk soundtrack was phenomenal and the graphics were indeed awe-inspiring (at times), but the real winner was the fashion. LED suits and dramatic [...]
Not one but TWO X Factor related posts in as many days. Well I’m sorry now, but I just couldn’t hold back. Is anyone else freaked the f**k out that the perm could be making a comeback? I know most people groan when *insert hairstyle of choice here* goes on a reconnaissance mission every fifteen [...]
1 DAY TO GO!! Only one… Oh my god. Oh my GAWWWD! Breath Lorna, Breath. Deep – slow – breaths… calm down. CALM DOWN. Ok. Sorry about that little semi-asthma attack or whatever that was. I’ve actually begun to call it my Harry-Potter-Attack because on thinking of HP or the enchanting, magical music that accompanies [...]
I just recently stumbled across these beautiful and stylish designs for TV posters by art director Albert Exergian. Exergian uses iconic images from each show to represent it’s identity in the most minimalistic way. The simplicity of the designs, combined with punchy colour palettes, make for super fashionable advertising. I especially love the added humour, here’s a [...]
Simon still appears to be wearing the same shirt since 1992, but that’s ok because we’re still all staring slack-jawed at his hair right? Little Cher was feeling adventurous in the barnet department on Saturday night although the words ‘poodle’, ‘shiteous’ and ‘evenmoreshiteous’ come to mind.
If I could convey a shrill, high-pitched tone of HYSTERICALASTOUNDMENT and DELERIOUSEXCITEMENT, I would. But I can’t. So caps lock must suffice on this occasion. Otherwise, picture me marching up and down outside your offices and homes with a megaphone shouting: Sweet Valley High: TEN YEARS LATER. Can you believe it? The flaxen haired Californian [...]
More gunky false eyelashes than you could shake a stick at, chest hair, tight-fitting gold lamé, a whiff of purple rinse about the Cheryl, a stink of desperado-dye about the Louis, utterly and monumentally BIZARRE trousers, mid-life crisis rock star impresarios, Dermot Saville Row’d to the max, a hatATTACK (props, in fairness), some on-the-money deep berry lipstick, some unprecedented KTZ appearances, dead-animal hair pieces, curiously acceptable medallions, an epic fail of 60′s mod eye make-up and a super slick looking Mary from Ballyfermot.
I don’t think I will ever get enough of Sue Sylvester and her witty escapades and antics. No matter how many times I watch an episode of Glee she will without fail make me feel like the organs in my stomach are twisting because of my constant laughter. But up until recently I thought she was only that. A comedian, a [...]
