We Are Beirt | Aoife B. Burke & Miriam Burke
For anyone heading to the Galway Races this week, particularly Thursday’s Ladies Day, here is a little inspiration – don your finest Cecil Beaton inspired hat (maybe swap the pretty parasols for a more suitable umbrella) and get ready to dress to impress, C.M. will be lurking!
MorePost 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 C.M. Remember Galway this time last week? Everyone you encountered had a lovely smiley face on them, the fake tan was out on maxi-dress adorned, flip-flop wearing girls, an uncomfortable number of men felt the need to disrobe their top halves, a great deal jauntily swinging their t-shirts from the belt loop of […]
MorePost by C.M. Despite my love of dressing up; stomping around in my mother’s stilettos, sellotaping hula-hoops under wide skirts to create a Victorian era look, using a pair of tights to simulate long Rapunzel hair, a myriad of other perfectly reasonable costume innovations; as a small child I secretly loved my school uniform. It was brown. […]
MorePost 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. 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 C.M. So, as I was saying! It was a great night to be in Galway last Thursday. The sun was shining, the atmosphere was summery, there was a mini-festival in honour of the launch of The Depravations’ album in that most Galway of Galway pubs Arus na Gael. I even ordered a drink […]
MorePost by C.M. I was at the album launch of the brilliant Galway based band The Depravations on Thursday. It was quite some night, with a myriad of other bands playing support in Arus na Gael – needless to say, being a hooley in the West I’m still recovering, but will tell you all about […]
MorePost by C.M. What’s better than kicking of the weekend than stuffing your face with bickies and delicious, delicious tea? Stuffing your face with guilt-free bickies in aid of a cause, that’s what! The folks at Western Alzheimer’s are encouraging tea days this weekend, to raise vitaly needed funds for their society, so off I […]
MorePost by Country Mouse (C.M.) Workout Gear! I have just arrived back from the big smoke after a fun weekend with Town Mouse, and to clear the cobwebs on Saturday morning we decided to go for a bracing walk around her neighbourhood. And my, was I impressed with the other stylish exercisers in our midst?! […]
