We Are Beirt | Aoife B. Burke & Miriam Burke
Post by CM Y’know when you’re planning on going somewhere, to an event of some sort, and you think you look the business in your appropriate outfit of blazer, dress, wedges and glossy blow-dry, when someone has the bright idea of making you hop over some tins for a photo op? Totes awks. It’s the curse of […]
MorePost by TM When finding out that I’m a twin people always ask what it’s like to be one; and I always tell them I don’t know, it’s just the way it’s always been. The truth runs deeper however, but it’s hard to explain. When you live with someone from conception and grow up together […]
MorePost by CM *This post was first published in 2014, and the dates have been updated for 2018 accordingly! The Galway Races 2018 kicks off once again this Monday 31st July. If you’re a die-hard racer, not to mention an avid Ladies Day competitor you already know that, have been preparing for months and are […]
MorePost by TM Despite countless, unavoidable ads warning people of the dangers of smoking, people continue to smoke. Although we are all aware that by eating huge portions of junk food and not exercising we are probably going to get horrendously fat, people still adapt that lifestyle. And while it’s common knowledge that the sun […]
MorePost by CM I had an evening a few weeks ago when I sat down on in front of the box at 6pm and didn’t move from there for 5 hours. I wasn’t even watching anything good, just aimlessly flicking through the channels, resting on stupid sitcom after insipid drama. Then, when I was finally […]
MorePost by TM It goes against my very being to get up at 8.30 on a Sunday morning. That’s only five minutes after the time I set my alarm for during the working week! But this Sunday I found myself up and out of bed, dressed and fully made-up at 9 o’clock in the AM. By […]
MorePost by CM After drooling over the beautiful couture shows happening in Paris – Dior, Armani Prive, Valentino, oh my! – I reluctantly faced up to the fact that I will most likely never require the services of a couture gown. I turned my attention to the stars on the FROW, and then, envy simmering, […]
MorePost by TM I didn’t watch a single Wimbledon match this year, but my eye was on Wimbledon all the same. To me, Wimbledon is the epitome of good old-fashioned Englishness; it’s rather prim but quite jolly, there are toffs a-plenty and the well-behaved guests feast on strawberries and cream while thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.

MorePost by CM The Serpentine Gallery Summer Party looked like a glorious affair last Tuesday, with stars from the entertainment and media worlds (and ‘Lady’ Victoria Hervey) turning out to toast the unveiling of the new Pavillion designed by architect Smiljan Radic at the eponymous gallery. It was a jolly, summery affair and the guests dressed to impress. Among the […]
MorePost by TM My biggest regret of last year was waiting too long to buy a ticket for Blur, who were playing in the Royal Hospital, Kilmainham, an idiotic move for someone who had a sticker of Damon Albarn pasted to her bedpost throughout her teenage years (come to think of it, it’s still there). I […]
