We Are Beirt | Aoife B. Burke & Miriam Burke
Post by T.M. You know how the song goes don’t you? It’s sung by the biggest selling artist of all time Cliff Richard, so you must know it. I always remember the video to this ‘Christmas classic’ (which was banned from being played in Costa Coffee FYI – because everyone hates it so much apparently) […]
MorePost by C.M. I know, I know, tiara tishmarmra. There’s little chance of any of us donning a diamond encrusted mini-crown, bar perhaps at a children’s birthday party, hen night or fancy dress. Even Vicky B has gone off the idea – can you imagine La Beckham now even considering the gaudy look she preferred […]
MorePost by C.M. On Wednesday I popped by Style in the City at The Stock Exchange in Galway, a charity fashion event co-hosted by blogger Rebecca Casserly (Bec Boop Fashionista) and Cotton Face Vintage, in aid of Western Alzheimers and Jigsaw. It was an evening of glamour by all accounts, and while I couldn’t stay […]
MorePost by T.M They’re funny, the thoughts that run through your head when clothes shopping. I always think about what I can pair with the item I have my eye on, whether it matches anything else in my wardrobe – and if I could wear the potential item to a gallery opening. There’s a certain kind […]
MorePost by C.M. Why is it that we as a collective don’t wear hats anymore? I was recently told that JFK heralded the end of the hat era for men; by not wearing one himself the trend for topping off a gentleman’s ensemble died out. I love a good hat myself, and they shouldn’t be […]
MorePost by T.M. I walked in to Penneys today and got an instant headache from all the Christmas gaud* they have in there. Now I’m no Scrooge**, but I’m not one to celebrate the festive season in November. However, that’s not the point. All I could see for miles and miles were Christmas jumpers. They […]
MorePost by C.M. They say that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but what of emeralds and sapphires and rubies? What about gems and pearls? What even about glass beads or tarnished ‘gold’ that turns your ear-lobes or finger an interesting shade of green? Whatever your fancy, whatever your budget, jewellery can often make or […]
MorePost by C.M. The New York Museum of Modern Art is very used to harbouring strange and wonderful creatures dreamt up by visionary artists of all disciplines, which is why it seems wholly appropriate for it to have honoured the ethereal Tilda Swintin for her contribution to film in its 6th Annual Benefit on November 5th, […]
MorePost by C.M. I’m going to talk about Love/Hate. Not the show that has everyone raging about a dead cat and a real-life Garda playing a pretend Garda, but the fashion community’s love/hate relationship with the contentious subject of fur. If you dare walk around in real fur these days chances are you’re going to […]
MorePost by T.M. Last December I was in a busy Euro Shop stocking up on God knows what when I overheard a panicked woman in actual tears fretting over how on earth she was going to kit her child out in a shepherd’s outfit for his school’s nativity play. All of the nativity costumes had […]
