Something you forgot you have but love…
This shirt is dry clean only- as a result it tends to linger at the bottom of my clothes basket until I remember to bring it to the cleaners. My lovely mom visits a dry cleaner far more regularly than I ever would so this shirt is back in the mix, at last.
Shout out to Sorcha for making my face look real girly with her magic makeup skills. Sound, lads.
A special occasion outfit…
A vintage velvet and taffeta 50s style ballgown with velvet sash around the waist. I wore this to the Film Fatale afterparty (albeit briefly). I wish I could dress like this all day everyday. Thanks to the almost full circle skirt of this dress, it’s perfect for spinning around for hours on end.
This was yesterday- I was working from home until 5 (pyjama club FTW!) so afterwards I felt like being fancy. If I had to pick one thing from my wardrobe that represents my style the most it would be this glorious skirt. Fashioned out of my debs dress (which was, shock horror, 6 years ago now), it has layers and layers of delicious mille-feuille that make me feel just magic.

I have the absolute pleasure of presenting you (hopefully simultaneously with a good handful of others) the 10th collection of Eilis Boyle. This video presentation is utterly breathtaking, the team did such a wonderful job.
So on Saturday I stumbled off to a BBQ somewhere near Finsbury Park. It was fancy dress. I am not much of a fan of fancy dress as it usually means slutty or having to put in too much effort. Instead, I went dressed like this:
I was obviously a… princess? Anyway, I’ve been wanting to wear this skirt since I got here so any excuse really! It was made from my debs dress that I loved loved loved but knew I wouldn’t get much chance to wear again. I bought it in Jenny Vander in Dublin and it makes me feel magical. I ripped it on Sat night… that’ll teach me! Cape, tights and brogues from Penneys, top is a slip, hairband from Miss Selfridge, belt H&M, crap quality picture comes to us courtesy of Nikon.
This is the expression I wore for most of the night. Damn that delicious cherry cider
