Rant
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, [...]
Plain to see this may be the most minging dress in the world. I think we all collectively wanted to gouge our eyes out when we saw this abomination of a dress at the VIP fashion awards on Katie Price I personally thought it looked like a number you would get from a [...]
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 [...]
Maybe I’m a bit of a prude, maybe Ireland’s not ready for this shizzle, but I’m just not a fan of cavorting naked celebrities cluttering up our magazines. Now when it comes to PREGNANT cavorting naked celebrities, my stomach sinks. As a woman I should be delighting in the beauty of the pregnant female, the [...]
In this youth-hungry culture, where everyone worships at the alter of youth, fashion can be the cruel mistress in maintaining these youthful expectations. Fashion seems to stop at a certain age and the catwalk and the editorial deal specifically with nymph-like teens and wrinkle-free juvenescence. Hands up, if like me, you wish to be the [...]
I’m paraphrasing, but that’s more or less what the Links web site says…. Let me start this post by saying I quite like the Links friendship bracelets. They weren’t really on my radar until recently. But all of a sudden I found myself being drawn to them and their cutesy, retro ways. I had never [...]
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. [...]
I am in 20kg hell!!!! A 20kg baggage allowance to move my life????? You gotta be fricking kidding me – An international airline and they are allowing me 20kg… I’m speechless… I’m the girl who brings at least 2 or 3 outfit options on a night away and probably 3 pairs of shoes (at least)!!! [...]
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 [...]
My colleague bought me a cup yesterday that said: Keep CALM and carry on SHOPPING.
Now I probably like my interlocking-Cs as much as the next fashion victim but this ‘forehead branding’ is taking things to a whole new (and wholly insane) level. Some dude called Ryan McSorley who is graduating from Central Saint Martins has come up with a headband that can imprint the Chanel logo on your face. [...]
I took to this blog a few months ago to hi-light the plight of men’s trouser shapes. Generally speaking, I am quite liberal in my aesthetic worldview – if you can wear an over-sized neon puffa jacket with aplomb, I salute you. If you like to wear head-to-toe paisley, and you do it with confidence, [...]
(I have never heard that Father Ted quote bandied about so much as I have over the last few days…) Now let me preface this post by saying I have nothing against the Rose of Tralee (except the fact that at 26 you’d be too old to enter it). On Monday I was listening to [...]
I know it’s wrong, I know it’s childish and petulant, I know it’s futile…but I must share with you some deliciously wicked ‘hipster’ piss-taking. I have a conflicted attitude to trend-heads*. At once I admire their commitment to outlandish aesthetic and resolute self-belief, but equally I detest their commitment to outlandish aesthetic and resolute self-belief. [...]
A letter from Jennie Mc Ginn to the topman at Topman. It follows an experience at the weekend in which two items were purchased after advice from the Sunday Times Style magazine to ‘check out the XS t-shirts in Topman’.
Don’t really know what to say. Feeling an overwhelming sense of schadenfreude thinking about fashion at the moment. Vicious cycle of not having enough money, having some money, spending said money, feeling instantly guilty with the splurge, then empty, then lonely, then lusting after the next object to acquire/ squire. Affluenza much? Bloody good read [...]
The latest scribe to join the pre-pubescent blogosphere is none other than the offspring of a one Madonna Louise Ciccone. Yep Lourdes Leon is “4 realz” excited about it too. Now some of you might remember my Tavi rant some months back. You might be expecting to go berserk over the very idea of Lourdes [...]
