Gone Fishin’!
Hello all, TM here. Today is post day but this ain’t no ordinary post. Because it’s not a post. It’s an apology that there won’t be a post today. CM will post as usual on Thursday.

Bora Bora Bora
Post by CM All this sunny sun sun has made Salthill heave with bodies of all shapes and sizes, young and old, blissfully basking or glumly grumbling in the heat. I haven’t been to the beach in about three years, and that time was wearing a string bikini purchased at a market stall. I still […]
MoreDublin Can Be Heaven…
Post by TM …with coffee at 11, and a stroll in Stephen’s Green. There’s no need to hurry, there’s no need to worry, you’re a king and the lady’s a queen. Grafton Street’s a wonderland, there is magic in the air, there are diamonds in the ladies eyes and gold dust in her hair! And […]
MoreWearing Your Art on Your Sleeve
Post by CM Forget Andy Warhol and his soup cans – on canvas? So passé. Jeremy Scott has tapped into 21st century pop culture and splashed McDonald’s and Hersheys logos, Spongebob Squarepants and Nutritional Information images all over the runway at his debut show for Moschino for AW14. But that’s not where it starts or finishes, oh […]

MoreGet Shorty
Post by T.M. I knew a guy in college who wore shorts all year round. He was from Oregon so it wasn’t that unusual but we met on Erasmus in Norway and were there in December when it was freezing, so that was. Because he was an All-American guy that All-American out-doorsy style came naturally […]
MoreFestival Season: Wave Goodbye to Wellies?
Post by T.M. It was bound to happen eventually, in fact, I’m surprised it’s taken this long. The backlash against festival fashion has started and right now it’s in full force. Writing in The Irish Times last Wednesday, Sarah Waldron proclaimed that “Woodstock birthed [festival fashion] Glastonbury brought it to maturity and Coachella killed it.” […]
MoreBank Holiday Blues
Post by CM Weather reports have been coming thick and fast in anticipation of the June Bank Holiday, and not one of them appears to be consistent. Highs of 20 degrees, thundery showers, mild and grey, cool and breezy – it’s anyone’s guess really. But isn’t it always, in this fair green island of ours? […]
MoreIn the Trenches
Post by T.M. Burberry is credible again and has been for some time now. Emma Watson, Eddie Redmayne and Cara ‘Eyebrows’ Delevigne are but three of the young, sexy, rich, educated names that are bringing the long-standing British brand into the realms of coolness. But still – the image that always pops into my mind whenever I […]
MoreCrocodile Dungaree
Post by CM From the glamour and glitz of the BAFTAs and Cannes to the denim-esqe staple of the hard-working man. What has made us fall in love with the humble dungaree? No longer associated with the cheerful chappies of Dexy’s Midnight Runners or 1940s mechanics working on clapped out Ford automobiles, they are set to […]
