I Blog Fashion: Sinead Doyle
It's rare that I get obsessive about clothes. Okay that's a lie. Let me rephrase. It's rare that I obsess ad infinitum about a particular item of clothing. Normally it's a stormy tempestuous lust-fest which fades to a worn fondness with time. Not with this dress. This is THE dress I've not been able to shake since clapping my peepers on it last year.more

Angela Scanlon: Miu Miu SS10 boots are delicious
I’m a sucker for shoes of any description but am currently going through a phase of boot love. Last night I counted my boots. Not including those at my “home house”, there are 12 pairs of black boots, 4 grey and 1 brown. Too much, I know. But… I have absolutely nothing in my boot wardrobe that resembles the whimsical lovelies that showed up on the Miu Miu catwalks for SS10.more

Just two quick things before i go off to bed. Firstly, we were very disappointed to hear today that Circus in Powerscourt Shopping Centre is closing down.

Nicky's Rag Tales: Bermondsey Boutique Pussy Willow
Bermondsey is a stones throw from London Bridge. It’s where old London meets new, you get a real sense of history just being there, you can almost imagine yourself back in time, a timeless oasis within a big city.

Nicky's Rag Tales: The 'It' Bag is dead, Long Live the 'It' Bag
I usually write a round up of the weeks fashion news on a Sunday but I’m totally off the point today.

I used to rip off the plastic ( with the same thought each week -what a waste of plastic) before I even glanced more

Irony. Such a lost art. Derided as a Gen X hipster accessory, the term has become almost obsolete, so much so that its definition has imploded. A bit ironic in itself, dontcha think? Thankfully where Ms. Morrisette failed to point the semantic finger, we have the Irish Xfactor hybrid Jedward more
