Summer evening BBQ (Taken with Pose)
I know I haven’t done a real post in ages but I’ve got some good stuff coming soon. This week has been the first warm weather in Dublin. It was 18°C today so I took the opportunity to wear shorts. SHORTS! At 7pm! Also this Anthropologie top which I bought in San Francisco last year. I love it but haven’t worn it for months. Let’s hope the sun sticks around for a while!
I love everything about this. The silhouette of the dress, the colour, the simple hair and makeup, the perfect pair of nude pumps. It reminds me of the Viktor & Rolf A/W 2006 show. Good on ya, girl.
How perfect is this look from fashion blogger fave, Girl with Curves? Her modern spin on a retro silhouette mirrors our idea for Nine to Fine, our latest workwear-inspired stylebook!

Everybody’s talking about Urban Outfitters lately, but for all the wrong reasons. This is the second racial issue I’ve read today surrounding t-shirts from everybody’s favourite hipster store, and a quick Google search of “urban outfiters t shirt” returned more and more controversy.
Though I’ve never personally seen anything objectionable in the stores, it’s worrying that Urban seem to be landing themselves in so much trouble, and over very similar issues. Same shit, different tshirt.
Will you tune in to watch Betsey Johnson’s reality show?

I love how Nicki Minaj looks really smart here, and then you look down and realise she is wearing zebra print tights <3

This shirt belonged to my ex boyfriend. It was a gift from his ex girlfriend from India. He never wore it, and when we broke up, he said I could have it. I figured I might use it for fabric one day or find some way to wear it. That day has come.
A while ago I saw this video and although a creative idea, I didn’t think it was something I could ever really do, given my larger-than-B cup size. However, I just tried it with this shirt and it almost kind of works:
Annoyingly, it’s a teensy bit too short to wear with bare legs, but it gives me a good shape and could work day or night with a pair of black tights and a statement necklace like the one pictured here.
The best thing is that it’s black and white polka dots - one of my favourite prints - so even if I don’t end up wearing it this way, I’m sure I’ll find some way to work it into my wardrobe. Plus, it’ll make for an interesting backstory if anyone ever asks me where I got it!
this is a blog about style. i prefer the term style because i don't necessarily follow "fashion" or "trends". i appreciate those things, but i prefer to explore real-world style, what people wear in their daily lives (hence the tagline "keepin' it real"), where they shop, but also, from time to time, what's going on in the world of high fashion, and other aspects of fashion design.
i'll also be trying to cover more menswear, as well as hair and makeup, once i learn more about it!
