Fashion is one big adventure
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,
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,
I’ve had these sets of shoots sitting on my laptop for two months now and I’ve never found the time to finish them off and post them on the blog.
They are part of a shoot I done, called ‘The Jewel of the Swampland’ back in September, hence why I could walk around in a dress and not freeze my ass off.
I’m not a hundred per cent sure about them, so let me know what you think.

Hello world,
Ever since my very first day in London, when I accidentally discovered the old section of Baker Street tube station, I have been in love with this slice of Edwardian London. Every time I walk through the archways with the clock above, I think of London a hundred years ago and I knew I had to do a ‘Look of the Day’ shoot here.
Since it feels so vintage, I thought, what better than to channel the forties trend we’re seeing on the high street now, only with bold colours. Annoyingly the day that we done this shoot, they had shut that section of the station, so we could only do the atrium part. Still, it could have been a whole lot worse.
It’s funny looking back on those photos, as I was just getting sick that day and my boyfriend was threatening me with calling off the shoot all day unless I take it easy. Thank God I don’t look as sick as I felt. Ah the wonders of make-up!
Let me know what you think, and as always the information for what I was wearing is below.
Skirt: Penneys/Primark
Blouse: Penneys/Primark
Cashmere cardigan: Vintage from Beyond Retro
Fur stole: Topshop

Hello world, Today I found an absolute bargain in one of my favourite vintage shops in Dublin, last week’s Shop of the Week, Lucy’s Lounge in Temple Bar. There’s no need in telling you how amazing this vintage clothes, knick-knacks shop, but I thought I’d put up a post and …
