what will i wear today?

Begad! What’s that round your neck? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? And why does it clash so staggeringly with your jumper? This fetching piece of apparatus, although reminiscent of a draft excluder, is actually a Calvin Klein (faux) fur snood, nabbed for a fetching $30 during a trip to the States. Take [...]

Happy New Year guapas! I’m already in Jaysus-I-Need-A-New-Wardrobe mode. This video doesn’t help. Above is an outfit I chose last year when RTE asked myself Jennie and Sarah to come up with something for Two Tube‘s Today I’m Wearing. I think I mention how snakeprint isn’t something you usually see, and cowl necks are having [...]

So, like the entire nation, I have no money. Not a scheckle. I have some natty receipts from various bike punctures, car services, doctor appointments, NTL bills, phonebills, replacement bin bags (the glamour!), cotton ear-buds, dry-cleaning (the decadence!), emergency umbrella purchases and a sneaky 6 Chicken Mc Nuggets here and there. But not an iota [...]

What better way to celebrate turning 21, than with a voucher for the goddang-shit-coolest bling around. The lavely sisters here at WWIWT got me a voucher for the online store Galibardy, which has been lusted at and drooled over numerous times here on the site (see Jen’s inital lusting here) And so none of that [...]

Some lovely peeps are injecting a bit of ‘alternative’ into RTE. While the rest of it is still wondering what a blog is, Red Radar, has a web site all set up for young ‘uns that are already in the know, but want to know more. RR asked us to do a blog post for [...]

  Only an Irish T-Shite of course! For the Forbidden Fruits festival we teamed our bright, fun logo’d T-Shites, with some high waisted and leather shorts, a selection of denim, lumberjack and khaki, and two full-on American baseball hats-perfect for keeping the Irish weather of hail, sun and shine out of our eyes… Stay tuned [...]

When I think of Balls, Cinderella in a big fat gypsy wedding-esque gowns come to mind. Not that I’d ever wear one, ever. But when I was plagued with the problem of what to wear to a not-so-dressy-actually-really-pretty-darn-casual type of ball (having previously bought a floor length ball-appropriate dress months earlier for the occasion) I found myself in quite a conundrum. Well [...]

Do you think if we all wore colour pop for the next eight weeks, it would brighten up the Irish summer, and knock the temperatures up a few degrees to hit the twenties? I think, now that we’ve officially started the second month of summer 2011, to an overcast sky, it’s worth an attempt. Laydiees-get [...]

Hats have always been an interesting accessory. Unless being stomped down the catwalk for Philip Tracy, or at this seasons Prada, a host of descriptions for them include outrageous, colossal, towering, impending, looming, and just generally hazardous to the public eye. Of course, these specifically refer to the usual hat-related activities like the races, weddings, [...]

FASHION WEEK MANIA…. I’m just about getting over the mayhem that was Australian Fashion Week. I loved every minute and the buzz was incredible. I saw 20 designers in total – I’m completely exhausted, plus it’s def time for some big hoodies and pj’s and flat shoes, my feet ache- running from show to show [...]

So Jennie, Sarah and Aideen ambled into RTE yesterday to film some short videos for the recently launched RED Radar website. The site is aimed at the youf’ audience and taps into all that is alternative in Irish music, style and fashion. Rather. We each did a piece about what we were wearing (clothes, should [...]

Just as I said in my handbag post, I loooove having a look at all my girlfriend’s dressing tables and bathroom cabinets. Based on that premise, voila! My window-box of miscellany… L -R My assortment of make up brushes. I bought a load of brilliant Bobbi Brown brushes on ebay last year. There are a [...]

I suspect that a lot of you are like me and love when celebs get quizzed about what’s in their make-up bag / shower / handbag. I love finding out what unguents people use, fragrance they spritz and stuff schlep around in their handbag. Now, my keen interest isn’t just limited to what products celebs [...]

Another style post from our trip up North. I’ve got my lavely TRUCKER boots on, and with the, albeit poor, display of sunshine over the weekend, I thought I’d go mad and replace my usual thermal puffa and wool jacket for a cropped sleeved blazer…the puffa went back on Monday however. I’m loving the back [...]

We had a WEE gander up to Belfast at the weekend. Here’s just a few photograph’s of Lorna rocking her NEW MOST AMAZINGEST FAVOURITEST BEAUTIFULIST JEANS from Topshop. I’m thinking she’s channeling a very stylish ‘If Peter Doherty was a woman’ scenario… Hat- Penneys Top- A-Wear Jacket- Penneys Chain- Penneys Jeans- Topshop Shoes- Penneys

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 [...]

  So Lorna showed us how to embrace your feline power in her cat woman-inspired shoot last week. But my animal-print obsession is gonna blow that shoot out of the water. Think it may be reaching an extreme level though as I actually went and bought an exact replica of Kat Slaters dressing gown.  Oh [...]

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 [...]

Taking a bit of inspiration from Lorna’s post on Cher Lloyd last week, see here, we decided to have a bit of fun in our auld trackie bottoms and stripes in Cork last weekend. There’s nothing more satisfying than swanning around in your brightest tackiest hoody and ankle bashers and not giving two hoots what [...]
