We Are Beirt | Aoife B. Burke & Miriam Burke
Post by T.M. TM and CM are two lucky mice! This day two weeks ago we were traipsing around the streets of Venice and now we are preparing for a long weekend away to Edinburgh to join a bunch of our (human) friends. I popped into Pennys yesterday on my way home from work to […]
MorePost by C.M. Hey, you know when you’re around three years old, and you’re given your cousin’s old tracksuit, and you don’t want to wear it – not because it’s a hand-me-down, but because you don’t quite understand the concept, and you’re afraid said cousin will want said tracksuit back? Because you recognize the tracksuit […]
MorePost by T.M. The Dublin Writer’s Festival ended yesterday. Because of a number of unforeseen circumstances I couldn’t attend any of the events that I had wanted to but the festival got me thinking about literature and its style connection. Aside from books about fashion (I read a great one on Coco Chanel recently, by Justine […]
MorePost by C.M. How to pack for a weekend city break? When it comes to first world problems this is a big one. Very big, particularly if you’re travelling with a certain budget airline with very little room for cabin baggage. I have recently had cause to leave the country (to Venice, in case you […]
MoreTM and CM are proud to announce that we are not so much Irish Mice but Venetian ones, at least until Monday! We’ll report back next week – happy weekend one and all! This is how to dress when in Italy – but it’s always good advice to follow the Gwen’s lead!
MorePost by C.M. Off I popped to the little smoke to attend the screening and awards for the Galway Technical Institute FETAC Level 5 and 6 Film and TV Production classes of 2013, Upstairs in Kelly’s. First of all – great venue! Upstairs plays host to many a gig and the setup was perfect for […]
MorePost by T.M. “I’ve never been so annoyed in my life!” is what I say every time I can’t find an item of clothing that I was banking on to finalise an outfit. I often reach this stage of annoyance when looking for my black H&M mini skirt that basically has the same texture as […]
MorePost by C.M. Fashion editors are heralding the arrival of block heels; maybe with the hindsight of countless Fashion Weeks spent trudging to and from the Shows, they welcome the arrival of a sensible shoe and are telling us all that the shoes look good for their own benefit. Let us examine to recent history […]
MorePost by C.M. It happened quite casually at first. A mix here, a match there, nothing special. You’d hardly notice it. It was mostly accessories or shoes, maybe a prettily patterned bag, nothing too attention seeking, too daring. Then I saw my leopard print pumps stink-eying a floral skirt so I put them together to […]
MorePost by T.M. Hipsters. I find myself fighting in their corner from time to time, probably because I often get mistaken for being one (blame falls on the huge black framed glasses I save as my “weekend eye-wear”.) They get a bad rep, hipsters do, they merely want to be “individual”. Because I’m not actually […]
