Pippa Middleton stole my dress!



I had it first, haha, I kid. Pippa Middleton in French Connection, the streaky stripe dress, €160. 
Now why don't I look like her in my one? Oh well kittens. She did it justice.

Time for a new bag?

Well done M&S

They gave Danni and Twiggy the boot and replaced them with none other than Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, what a babe, and Ryan Renolds. Delish!
Aaaand, David Gandy who is one of the biggest male models at the moment. 

Fashions Night Out.

I'm so upset that I won't be at Fashions Night Out in New York like I was meant to be. I'll have to attend vicariously through my friends over there. There is something going on in Brown Thomas over here though for all of you who aren't NY bound. This is basically the lay out of the night from BT.

FucknFilthy

Saying local Dublin label FucknFilthy has a bit of a cult following is a complete understatement. With most items limited to small order numbers, they usually sell out within a day. Take this Über cool tee shirt I bought yesterday for example. A self portrait by the beautiful Ira Chernova, a Russian photographer who can model as one of her subjects.
 The shirt is almost sold out already, it was limited to 40 pieces and will not be restocked.
