New Years Eve. The final blow-out. The full stop to the party calendar of the year. The night of hi-jinks and debauchery, mayhem, madness and merriment. It is all of that yes; but it is also the night of desperate lunges, inappropriate confessionals and dubious dialling. My NYE memories are littered with taxi queues and [...]
I know we’re like a fashion blog n’all, and sposed to be making like lists of hyper-inflated fashion garments and unethical jewels ‘n stuff, but I’m just not diggin’ that vibe this Christmas. Lordy, what’s wrong with me, but all I want for Christmas are ridiculous, kitschy, naff and over-priced kitchen appliances. Rubik’s Cubes salt [...]
Have you given in to an Advent Calender? Will you dress in red with subtle shades of green for the whole month? Will you tinsify your jumpers? Speak only in Christmas Carols until December 25th? Cycle in on your reindeer to work? Or perhaps you might sport a pair of these; the most unforgivably ugly [...]
HIDE Shield your eyes from those chest-baring t-shirts. Recoil in horror from those low-slung, skinny jeans (why are his legs skinnier than mine?) Duck from that anti-gravity bouffant. The man jewellery! The guyliner! The garish shirts! The hipster bum! Noel Fielding in a hipster run-off with Justin Bieber. I don’t watch the X-Factor, but I [...]
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 [...]
OOOoooh, look at Riri. So cutesy in her likkle onesie. All toasty and schnuggly and innocent. And have you seen those socks? WANTSIES. Riri: all wrapped up and just focused on the music. Thanking God for her creative flow, letting all her positive energy and love for the world spill out onto her music-sheet. She [...]
WWIWT are holding there own awards ceremony. Well that’s a complete exaggeration; we won’t be asking people to manically vote around the clock for days, possibly weeks on end (again…). There’s really just one award. That I’ll be choosing. Just for the craic. The award for the MOST annoying celebrity of the moment goes to; [...]
Sorry for our absence over the last week. Work, birthdays, flat-hunting and raging against the machine that is Nationwide Controlled Parking Systems has made for a stressful few days. Something that tipped us over the edge here at WWIWT is a certain letter from RTE. Maybe ye’ve read about it already on Beaut.ie. Aisling articulated [...]
The Anti-Modelling Guide to Modelling; There is a new wave of modelling out there. Neither Tyra nor Elle would ever condone this behaviour on their indistinguishable hunt to find “Insert Country” Next Top Model. It’s the Anti-Model way to model. Like the uproar and anarchy of decades past, there is a new era of fashion [...]
Rihanna – you love her, you hate her, one might say she’s like Marmite, but everyone definitely has an opinion on her. Personally, I love her music (ahem guilty pleasure I know), but who can resist shaking yo booty to her bouncin pop-tastic tuuuunes? S&M being a personal favourite of mine – less of that [...]
Is anybody else COMPLETELY and UTTERLY terrified of white clothes? Like sweaty palms, heart palpitations, blurred vision, night terrors? Most people see white as crisp, virginal, cool and timeless. I see red wine, bike oil, tea drips, smudged nail varnish. I see grey, I see cream, I see off-white. I see one-wear only. I do [...]
So Victoria and David Beckham became parents for the fourth time to a baby girl, Harper Seven, just over two weeks ago. I’d say that Harper ‘wan has been inundated with gifts from Hollywood’s Glitterati and is gonna be giving Suri Cruise a run for her money as best dressed mini-sleb. Fashion designers all over [...]
Yes I know she’s only bleedin’ beautiful, god’s finest specimen, with the longest legs known to Shergar and exotic features befitting a Brazilian Bombshell, but Rosie-Bleedin, Bog Off-Whitely I am SICK to my eyeballs of looking at you. She is EVERYWHERE, and when I say everywhere, I mean hogging up as much trashy gossip space [...]
…Only a genie-styled bellytop and some golden curtain tassels of course! Kim Kardashian has, yet again, one-up’d the entire world in the fashion stakes with this splashing jewelled number, fusing, not one, but two shades of flattering stretched satin, with a greatly enhanced bosom, and a cleverly exposed midriff. Her outfit, a result from [...]
Ah Communions. The season is upon us. Every little girls dream. Princess for a day. Master of your fiefdom. Strutting about in your layers of frou frou, calculating your earnings, furiously planning your spend (Ninetendo DS games, Smartphones, perhaps a holiday to Disneyland?) gorging yourself on fizzy pop and cocktail sausages. Such unprecedented Oirishness. But, [...]
There’s a new movie coming out about the world of Irish dancing called Jig. Looks entertaining but I have a bit of a rant bubbling up inside me so if you’ll permit me… AAAAAAAAAARGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH why are those kids wearing the most hideous wigs and dresses and makeup and fake tan!? WHYYYY? It’s almost like the [...]
