We Are Beirt | Aoife B. Burke & Miriam Burke
Post by C.M. The Galway Arts Festival is upon us! The place is buzzing, and with a vibrant Fringe in full swing as well there’s a great deal to see, do, get involved with. Yesterday I made my annual pilgrimage to the City of the Tribes for an afternoon’s art browsing, and happened upon these stylish […]
MorePost by T.M. I do find it funny that the title of this post seems to relate directly to C.M’s last post (the sight part) – but the focus of this post is on the middle word. PLAIN. While some people think plain is boring, I think Carte Blanche. Those who know me (or are […]
MorePost by C.M. It’s with a heavy head, downcast with hair falling into her face, that a 13 year old girl debuts her first pair of specs. Maybe it’s different these days, but my first pair were standard issue, which even now in their oversized brown-ness wouldn’t hold their own even as ironic hipster glasses. […]
MorePost by T.M. How often do Irish fashion bloggers get to discuss ‘what to wear for a summer garden party’ and write it without getting sore eyes from all the rolling? Not very often you won’t be surprised to hear. But, like for everything else, there is an exception to the rule – and here […]
MorePost by C.M. For all you Pride and Prejudice fans and hopeless romantics, it appears that Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy has emerged from a pond in central London, sopping after a fully-clothed dip, for you to lust after Bridget Jones style. Technically it’s a sculpture of Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy as portrayed in the beloved 1995 […]
MorePost by T.M. Oh my God, it’s sunny! And I am having a clothing dilemma. ‘Proper summer weather’ is as rare in Ireland as a shirt is on Matthew McConaughey and for this reason it is quite difficult to decide what to wear when it actually arrives. There is an old Irish tradition of simply shedding […]
MoreHere at TownMouse CountryMouse Ireland we’re constantly striving to improve our content and our user-friendliness. In keeping with that, we’ve decided to restructure ever so slightly, so that instead of a post appearing every few days we will guarantee a new one every Tuesday and Thursday alternating between TM and CM. If there’s anything you’d […]
MorePost by T.M. On Saturday night I went out in Dublin and wore a sparkly gold top, gold shoes and tiny red hot-pants. No, I wasn’t at a Eurovision (or Eurotrash) party – I wasn’t at any fancy dress party at all – I just decided to wear that ensemble on a whim. OK, that’s […]
MorePost by C.M. Marc Jacobs has been trying for years to get men into skirts, and despite his best efforts, and a momentary high point when David Beckham donned a sarong (which must have given dear Marc palpitations of hopeful glee) it’s just not happening. But if skirts really and truly did become a thing, […]
MorePost by T.M. Have you ever walked past a bargain because you weren’t entirely sure about it (even though it’s a BARGAIN for God’s sake) only to return to find it gone when you’ve finally made up your mind? Well that recently did not happen to me! There are two shops named ‘Siopaella’ in Temple […]
