what will i wear today?

So blingmerchants Jay-Z and Kanye West are gonna be dropping their ridonculous shapes in Dublin this summer. I won’t lie…I felt a frisson of excitement. These two major playerz have been churning out some seriously heavy tunes on their collaborative album Watch The Throne. Full of swagger, bravado and dark wit, it pleases me so. [...]

I keep getting notifications from Ebay about free insertions. I also have it as a calendar reminder on my phone…I’ve been pressing snooze on it for about 6 months now.  The digital revolution still facilitates long-finger-syndrome. Anyway, point is, I’ve been genuinely trying to initiate a wardrobe clear out for some time now. You know…the [...]

His Royal Highnessness of High Fashion, High Collars and High Heels addresses the nation. Karl Lagerfeld debuts a series of self-interviews with Net-a-Porter…what on earth does he have to say??       Viral video by ebuzzing    

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 [...]

So my BF, also my roomie, is a compulsive shopper. The term shopoholic was designed with her in mind, she makes the WWIWT gals look like clothing conservatives. She literally has shopping blackouts where she cant remember what she bought on the return home…sweating, shaking, night terrors – the lot! Me being sensible Sarah, I’m [...]

February. Everybody, it is officially Spring Time. But doesn’t that mean sun dresses, bare legs, sun-kissed and freckled cheeks, bright clothes and strolling in the sun sans winter coat? Why yes, yes it does. But only if your living in the sunny side of the U S of A I’m guessing. Here in Ireland, we [...]

So, the second in the series of style vids we did for RTE Red Radar last year. I’m here talking about cycling and wearing knuckledusters when cycling and wearing lots of dangly gold necklaces when cycling and wearing hats that blow off in the wind when cycling and committing every safety issue known to man [...]

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 Christmas is much more than the commercial, saccharine, tinsel-filled, hyperactive extravaganza it has now become, but there is one element of this I hold dear to my heart. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than buying people presents. I am definitely more of the giving than receiving strain; I relish all those hours spent [...]

So last week we featured the savagely cool Atto Ludwig multibag. In a nutshell, this bag is hanging, swinging folding, baggage perfection. Arm-porn for hard-core bagistas and sheer practical and design brilliance for just about everyone else. Check out their Ludwig and their Hero gym weekend bag here. So, you can win yourself one of [...]

Any smuggers out there starting their New Year’s Resolutions in advance? FYI, Caggie, of the Made in Chelsea school of acting, is boot-camping her way through early December in order to pre-empt the mince-pie binge. Although, in fairness, it’s more likely so she can release her own fitness DVD and become a panelist on Loose [...]

Every so often, something truly magical happens. You encounter an item, a majestic item, an item so capable in it’s multi-functionality, so elegant in it’s design, so inclusive in it’s useage policy, so practical in it’s application, you wonder if it is a gift from the future. And when that item happens to be a [...]

Ah the sexy, elongated flick of black eyeliner. Come hither, it says, let me welcome you into my world of mystery and excitement. That teasing, seductive lick of black paint above the lash line has been reducing men to quivering wrecks for aeons now. It transforms the eye into something exotic, something powerful, something entrancing. [...]

Well this may seem like an obvious enough statement. Who wouldn’t want the perfect winter dress? All sparkles and sequins and fantastically fitted and beautiful and classy and delicate and magnificent and lovely. Just lovely. But where to find the right one?  That one dress that you will wear to so many Christmas parties…and by February (yes, I do [...]

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 [...]

Diet Coke Light asked myself, Angela Scanlon, Suzanne Jackson and Liz Greehy to write about Irish style over the Winter and this is the second of my posts (the first you can catch here). Ah, the jumper. Me ‘aul mucker. Similar to a cup of tea, in terms of it’s warm embrace, reliability and timelessness, [...]

Life can be so cruel. I mean you get up every morning, work for the man, pay your rent on time, donate to charity, separate your recycling, eat quietly in the cinema, dock your Dublin Bike near to the paystation, eat your 5 portions of fruit and veg a day…the list of virtuosity is endless. [...]

I love shoes. A lot. And handbags. And necklaces. I love edgy little labels from the far corners of the earth; I love indigenous Irish labels. I love the high-octane glamour of designer labels, I love the versatility and immediacy of the high-street. I love shopping for me and I love shopping for others. And [...]

Is it ok to use a sports-bag? Not in the true essence of sports-bag parlance; not as an accompaniment to the gym, or a prop for climbing mountains, not in-transit on a round-the-world trip. No; not using it for it’s true functionality – is it ok to use it as your day-to-day handbag? As a [...]
