• On Reflection April 10, 2013
  After a prolonged spell away, I just got back to London this week to find a wonderful package in the post…  Neon yellow and black reflective sunglasses!!!  I had forgotten I had ordered them online weeks ago so in a way, they were a great surprise!  You see, mirror lensed sunglasses have always been a […]

• A new brand for boys I’d like you to meet… March 1, 2013
  So it is difficult to ascertain when exactly Spring begins… Some say the vernal equinox, around March 20th, being Irish I say St. Bridget’s Day on February 1st (even if it’s still so cold!), the British say St. David’s Day, March 1st…also known as the climatological beginning of Spring. Well it all varies from culture […]

• A Beauty Secret February 8, 2013
  I have a little confession to make… I lied.  It goes back to an evening during the week before Christmas, when I met up with one of my best friends, Ruth, who I’ve known for a very long time and would never (normally/intentionally) lie to.  We were in a fabulous buzzy bar in Dublin that […]

• New Years Resolutions: No.3: Carpe Diem! January 23, 2013
  On new years eve, one of my friend’s put up a very inspirational quote on Facebook: “Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365 page book.  Write a good one.” – Brad Paisley.  It really struck me for two reasons: First of all, I, like everyone, have a book inside me, which has spurted […]

  Now I’m no health guru or saintly diet subscriber but I am definitely old enough to know the difference between right and wrong when it comes to health and I am definitely old enough to feel and see the difference between when I’m looking after myself or not.  Last year I learnt a hard lesson […]

• New YEars Resolutions: Better late than never…! No. 1: The First Step is Organisation January 20, 2013
  So how many people have made new years resolutions this year?  And how many of those have have remained in tact?  I must admit I am only taking mine off the back burner and making them official now!  Official and in writing.  Anyway the start of January is an unrealistic time for making life/self/home improvements.  […]

• Think you’re over the sales? Well they ain’t over yet… January 11, 2013
  Hello and happy new year!  I am loving 2013 so far… It seems brighter and lighter… I know they say “out with the old, in with the new!” and I am all for that when it comes to the new year’s wardrobe.  I have already packed away anything velvet, most black pieces (especially the dressy […]

• Get your glitter on! November 4, 2012
  So we’ve had a week of dressing up and fireworks raining down from the sky, the Christmas lights are to be switched on over Oxford Street tomorrow night and are lighting up all around in the meantime, I think it’s safe to say the sparkly glittery season has arrived and it’s probably a good idea […]
