Fashion is one big adventure
Hello world, Today’s ‘Look of the Day’ is inspired by spring finally arriving in London. The daffodils are out in bloom, the sun is shining and it’s actually somewhat warm! It’s the first chance I’ve gotten to wear something summery and pull out all my skirts again and I intend …
Hello world, Here is the ‘Look of the Day’ I done out in east London a while back, out among the docklands. The whole area kinda got forgotten about since the eighties when London’s docklands were abandoned and they’re only now trying to do the area up again. It’s very …
Hello world,
I’m back with another Look of the Day, in what three months? I’m not quite sure how long it’s been other than it’s been way too long.
This one was shot in east London at North Woolwich pier, hence the name, after a few days I spent exploring this dilapidated and forgotten part of London. Sometimes I just love grabbing my camera and exploring places like the old docklands. There’s a certain rush you get to climbing over barriers and going into restricted areas to see the parts of London you usually wouldn’t see.
As you can see this pier and boathouse is quite neglected and in a way it was quite dangerous to do the shoot there as half the wooden floorboards were rotten through and missing. It was also extra cool that that morning was quite misty, so the City is almost lost in the mist.
The top and trousers are from H&M Trend, as per usual. I really would love to see them do a collection that I don’t end up buying every piece from. I really gotta learn to vary my shops a bit more.
So let me know what you think of these images and I’ll be back in the next couple of days with another post.
Top: H&M Trend
Trousers: H&M Trend

Until then,

Hello world,
This is a bit of an oddball of a shoot. It was done back in the west of Ireland while visiting my mum and the idea came upon me while scouring through all the old sheds and outhouses that probably hadn’t been touched for years before Mum moved in.
Anyone who knows a little about the Irish knows it’s not that odd to find old religious paintings in the shed, but the amount found here surprised even me. The previous owners looked like they had developed a bit of a collection.
What really struck me when I saw them was how traditionally Irish the entire setting was and how beautiful in it’s own way it was too; the ivy creeping into the shed through the old broken windows, the dresser and half-decayed paintings and the wild Connemara wilderness right outside our door.
So maybe this theme is a little overt, but it’s kinda soothing too and I got a chance to show off my polka dot skirt from my recent find here. The only thing is that the lighting couldn’t show off the brightness of the skirt, bit you win some you lose some.
Let me know what you think.

Hello world,
These are the last photos for ‘The Jewel of the Swampland’ shoot I done a couple of months ago. Since they’re only one or two images, it wasn’t enough to put them as a blog post on their own.
I hope to have some new outfit posts for Wednesday and they are going to be way nicer! I’m a little blasé about these images, so maybe you might like them.

Hello world,
God it’s been a lifetime since I posted a look of the day. Well this one is hot of the press, so to speak as we done it last night after the Christmas lights had been turned on on Oxford Street. Oh how pretty they are too!
I’d also like to give a big thank you to my wonderful boyfriend who had to listen incessantly to me explaining about lighting and aperture as he filled in for my usual photographer.
Now that Halloween is officially over, it’s time to rock the party dresses. My favourite time of the year.
Here is my interpretation of the party season and as always let me know what you think.

Jacket: Peek & Cloppenburg from Berlin

Hello world, Ahh, I’m so sorry for being so late on my blog posts again, but what with moving house and getting sick again, I really haven’t got the time. That and my new place hasn’t got internet, so I’m going to have to see how I am going to …
Hello world, It’s a little depressing writing about anything pre-fall, considering it’s still July and I am desperately clinging onto every last summer day we can get before it becomes all cold and wintery again. But it must be done, as the shops are starting to bring in their pre-fall …
Hello world, Wow it’s been a while since I’ve been on my blog and the withdrawal effects are in full swing! So now I’m trying to do my work on a friend’s iPad and it’s not as easy or fun as everyone always says it is. Well in between clearing …
Hello world, You know, I’ve done quite a few shoots for this blog, but I’ve never done one in Dublin itself, so this one was a bit of a new one for me. Thankfully we got a beautiful sunny day, which made the city look so much prettier and as …
