Do you hear the church bells ringing? It’s wedding season! One thing I often struggle with when it comes to weddings is finding the right thing to wear, especially on my head. I’m still a bit too young for the massive hats and I find it near impossible to find a headpiece that I like. […]

Cher is the Goddess of pop. She’s released some of the best tunes around and her most recent appearance in Mamma Mia made me love her even more.

Sure there’s no Irish storm without a rake of trampolines flying about the place. Last night, Gardaí in Thurles, County Tipperary found a trampoline that had been blown away by the winds of Storm Hannah. It was found at around 3am this morning on the M8 northbound. A free trampoline for you. A free trampoline for […]

You were probably woken last night by the powerful gusts of Storm Hannah. There was a status yellow weather advisory in place for Cork and Kerry and over thirty thousand homes were left without power today. On days like this there’s only one thing to do, sit inside and cosy up. Whilst doing that it […]

There is no happier place than Disneyland but the one thing that can knock those dopamine levels is queuing for a ride for hours and it turning out to be a load of crap. To avoid this, my top tip would be to print out fast passes. You can do this with any general admissions […]

It’s hard to imagine what we did on stormy evenings like today before Netflix. Yes, Storm Hannah was knocking on everyone’s window last night and let’s be real, it’s still pretty crappy today. All the more excuses to curl up and have a cosy and easy weekend. So grab a few treats, curl up and […]

Overtime I’ve learned that having swollen, sore and green-stained ear lobes is not a good look. I remember heading out one night and I decided to swap my earrings. When I removed the first pair I looked at my ear and it had been stained from the cheap rusty accessory that I had been wearing […]

Killarney is one of the cutest towns in Ireland. It’s bursting with colour, it’s got that Irish charm to it and there’s music coming from nearly every corner on the streets.

Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize. I have to admit I’m properly shite at adding accessories to my outfits. I leave the same rings, watch, necklace and earrings on no matter what the occasion or outfit. Though I have an emotional attachment to these signature pieces it also leaves me feeling like a bit of a bore. It’s as […]

Today in the office I scrolled through the web looking for something interesting to write about and as soon as I read the title of this tour my mouth dropped.

One of the largest movements I’ve seen amongst Irish Instagrammers as of late is the promotion of sustainable fashion. It’s refreshing to see people making the effort to have a greener planet, be more conscious of their shopping habits and rekindle their love with their older pieces in their wardrobe. Another thing that this movement has […]

One thing that seems to nibble into my budget every month is beauty products.  I like to keep my makeup bag minimal; I try to only have one of each product. Over the years, I’ve developed a love for some pretty pricey products that I try to keep for nights out or special occasions. For […]

Big, bright and bold earrings can add so much life to a plain and subtle outfit. Over the last while I’ve become a little obsessed with following Irish companies, artists and designers.

The New Year is a chance to start afresh. For me and my roommates, after a hectic break, our gaff is looking a little on the shabby side. It’s time for a spot of spring (winter) cleaning! Finding the inspiration after a long-ass day in work however, is beyond a struggle. Recently, we’ve come […]

Interiors have become my newest obsession. Between Pinterest, Instagram and the occasional visit to IKEA, I dream of someday being able to do up my own home.

We all know that feeling – you agreed to be the driver for the night. You get to the event/meal/venue and all you can think of is how much you’re hankering for a refreshing G&T. Water or ribena is just not the same as drinking out of a fancy garnished goblet, is it? Dry January […]
