what will i wear today?

Some people need a clean pair of pants for every day of the week. PAH. What about a new pair of shoes? That’s more like it. This Friday Flash Lust is dedicated to the never-ending joy of the shoe. Plural. Shoe Plural. One for every day of the week. This pair is for the office [...]

So, it’s official… I am getting outta this town, me and my boy are leaving snowy, cold Dublin and jetting of sunny Oz!! It is the most exciting, spontaneous thing I have ever done – quitting our jobs, forgetting responsibilities, leaving reality behind… It’s idyllic… I was walking on air, blissfully dreaming of my new [...]

Not to sound glib, but we’re in a right dilly of a pickle. The country is submerged in an icy battleground and the future of the Irish state is in the hands of IMF. Fiscal conservatism is the name of the game and arctic survivalism is our new reference point. Spend less, layer more. I [...]

I think I’ve caught wind of a Secret Shoes Club. You know the girls who ‘knew about them first.’? These Jeffrey Campbell Litas seem to be enjoying a moment in the spotlight. And deservedly so. They’re eye-catching, their shape is unmistakable and when you see them, you know who designed them. The unexpected part is [...]

1.Unpleasant or repulsive, especially in appearance: She thought she was ugly and fat/The ugly sound of a fire alarm. 2.Involving or likely to involve violence or other unpleasantness: The mood in the room turned ugly   Jimmy Choo for Ugg. Ithink the title says it all?

Nicholas Kirkwood designed some shoesies for the Keith Haring Foundation. Haring was the 80′s pop artist extraordinaire – you’ll recognise the print instantly.  Kirkwood wanted to incorporate Haring’s graphics into his own shoe designs. I’m not digging it.

This question displeases me. My FINSK wedges finally arrived and they are not made for walking. They are made for gliding. They are fearless and architecturally intrepid and scare the living hell out of all the other shoes on the block. These send messages, they make demands, they lock things down and stare you unwavering [...]

Today wasn’t the most interesting of days for me. I woke up late, watched and re-watched old episodes of The Hills and The City, cleaned the kitchen and went into town to run a few errands for mother dearest. As I was driving along down the street, minding my own business and not really taking in the [...]

The other night I had a dream. I was a teacher, Dylan Moran was my boyfriend and my parents were a travelling folk music duo. Somehow from this madness an epiphany emerged. I began to examine my fashion personality.

I’ve been buying the odd pair of shoes in Marks and Sparks for a few years now. Leopard print courts, perfect ballet pumps, sandals that have those Heels With a Secret patent… they’ve never let me down, so I’ve always been a bit of a fan.  But christ on a bike through charity work, their [...]

i am finally back from Bulgaria and feeling  less than refreshed. not that i thought a week long manic, party-infested, alcohol and pizza driven holiday was going to be refreshing at all. on first arrival  in Bulgaria i wasn’t exactly prepared for what i was going to encounter. there truly isn’t much to say about Bulgarian style. [...]

Yeah, yesterday’s subject matter had left me with a cold sense of Meh but today… today my friends, I’m bizarrley beguiled by these new offerings from Miuccia Miuccia Prada aka Miu Miu. They’re from the forthcoming Autumn Winter 2010 collection. And I’m willing to put money on the fact that they’ll be the darlings of the fashion press in [...]

So after my previous rant about heart V head with my wedding shoesies, I was still unable to decide. I was then off doing the Focus Ireland Four Peaks Challenge for four days (enormous rant to come about how some people look glamorous in outrageous weather conditions while hiking) and while struggling through dense fog [...]

There is a recession on apparently. I have ceased to pay attention to the panic mongering about Ireland going broke and we are soon to be put under martial law by the International Monetary Fund. I find it gives me a stabbing pain in my arm and chest that is quite distressing. However, I am [...]

Conundrums, conundrums. I may or may not have a hot date tonight and I may or may not want to wear a pair of sexy heels. But what’s this? Oh no! Not a heel in sight! Only a mound of broken dreams. To clarify, it would appear that every pair of heels I own at [...]

Crocs. Not a fan. I can of course concede that they are the most comfortable footwear in the world. In fairness though… My gran wears very comfortable Eccos. That doesn’t make them ok for the younger lady. There are some notable exceptions for Crocs. One of which is when kiddies wear them. They look quite [...]

It is the unseen, unforgettable, ultimate accessory of fashion that heralds your arrival and prolongs your departure*…. That, my friends, is the shoe!!!

so i had completely forgotten about henry holland‘s collaboration with debenhams until just the other day, as i stumbled across the collection fresh out of  breath and looking a little bit too haggard. an hour of getting lost around the ever-changing, ever-messy kaleidoscope of  fashion trends and fashion faux pas that is, without deny, any debenhams [...]

Marks and Spencer can be very mammy catalogue-y. But but just as often, they can produce the divine! Like these shoes. I love them. I’ve tried them on. They’re shockingly comfortable for such a high heel. They’re only a paltry e47.50. I just dunno whether to get them or not. If I do, will I [...]
