Power Suited and Booted
Post by C.M. As the old mantra goes, you should dress for the job you want, not the one you have, and those wise words are not a bad place to start when thinking about your working wardrobe (unless, that is, you want to be a belly dancer but you work in a bank; it’s […]
MoreHocus Pocus (Out of Focus)
Post by CM It’s that time of year folks, All Hallows’ Eve. But of course you know that already; some of you ghoulish lot have been celebrating for at least a week! What with mid-term breaking up school the Friday before the bank holiday releasing little ghosts and goblins back into the arms of their […]
MoreStyle Icons: Debbie Does Daywear!
Post by CM You know, it’s been 10 years since the time and reason-bending conundrum that was Lost got all up on our grill, and I would think that by now we all know it’s been 20 long years since the Friends bagsied their favourite orange couch in Central Perk.

Totes awks. It’s the curse of […]

MoreBora 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 […]
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 […]
