Post by CM It may seem strange to get your fashion inspiration from a small boy, but hear me out. He’s spirited and courageous, works a pair of green leggings and pixie boots and isn’t afraid to try out a peplum. Yes, he has his faults (pomposity, selfishness, that low V neck) but the boy […]
MorePost by T.M. I’ve crippled myself many times, the most recent being this Saturday past. The method by which I do so is always the same – by donning the wrong shoes. Actually, the right shoes, in the wrong size, although the shoes I wore this Sunday were in fact the right size, I had […]
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 […]
MorePost by C.M. Hello there buddy, I hear you’re off to Body and Soul this weekend? Chances are you’ll be watching Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds encouraging Lazarus to dig himself and my pretend bestie Solange losing her boyfriend again. You’ll be feeling the collective love and getting into the festivally spirit of things. […]
MorePost by T.M. I laughed out loud when I discovered a Facebook page dedicated to what the administrator thought was the abomination of footwear – the kitten heel. The page was composed mainly of photo galleries of girls’ legs wearing the unfortunate shoe. I discovered it a few years ago and since then attitudes towards […]
MorePost by C.M. Hey, you know when you’re around three years old, and you’re given your cousin’s old tracksuit, and you don’t want to wear it – not because it’s a hand-me-down, but because you don’t quite understand the concept, and you’re afraid said cousin will want said tracksuit back? Because you recognize the tracksuit […]
MorePost by C.M. How to pack for a weekend city break? When it comes to first world problems this is a big one. Very big, particularly if you’re travelling with a certain budget airline with very little room for cabin baggage. I have recently had cause to leave the country (to Venice, in case you […]
MorePost by C.M. Fashion editors are heralding the arrival of block heels; maybe with the hindsight of countless Fashion Weeks spent trudging to and from the Shows, they welcome the arrival of a sensible shoe and are telling us all that the shoes look good for their own benefit. Let us examine to recent history […]
MorePost by T.M. For 30 minutes a day I am confined to a roving tin can. As you may expect at 8.15 in the morning (and 5.45 pm) typical Luas users are workers in their smart-casual uniforms and a smattering of kids dressed for school (or kids dressed for mitching – but that’s another story). […]
MorePost by C.M. UPDATED 06.11.13 There’s more to going Into the West than being named after a potato chip and owning a horse calle Tír na nÓg. Sure, Oliver Cromwell ordered people “to hell or to Connaught”, but a lot has changed since then, you must believe me. All being told, there’s life beyond The […]
