Join me this Saturday 28th April at Brown Thomas, Dublin for a day of Styled by MICHAEL Michael Kors workshops. Discover the everyday luxury staples that define the brand and how to work them into your existing capsule wardrobe. Think on-the-move flats, printed shift dresses, leather totes and failsafe trenchcoats - ideal for your spring/summer trousseau. Shows run on the hour at 1pm, 2pm, 3pm and 4pm. Don't miss it!

MICHAEL Michael Kors is available in Brown Thomas Dublin, Cork, Limerick & Galway.

One for the Fellas

I helped style this s/s 12  menswear vid for Brown Thomas a few months back. Hopefully by posting it, the weather might co-operate with us for a change. Petulant weather begone! #irelanddeservessun

Weekly Round-Up

Who's been a lazy blogger then? Erm, that would be me. As you can see from the dearth of posts of late, I've been deliciously slacking. Well, that's not entirely true. I've been exercising my recently atrophied social muscle and basically getting out and about again. This week proved quite sunny in that regard, despite the lifesize hailstones careening from the heavens. Monday saw yet another illuminating Reiki session at Dame Street's Rainkoat. Chakras ablazing, I made it to Harvey Nichols on Thursday for the Diet Coke /  Jean Paul Gaultier bottle launch. Bohemia underscored Saturday's proceedings with my Day Birger et Mikkelsen fashion workshops at Brown Thomas, followed by an 8-course Mexican dinner at the pop-up Sett Food Club off Capel Street. Thank God for setting the precedent of Sunday being a day of rest as I'm still lolling in a food coma. Check out the pics after the jump:

Siopaella

9 Crow Street fans most likely already know about Siopaella - the vintage haunt's 'nearly new' consignment cousin. Located around the cobbled corner on Temple Lane South, Siopaella houses designer names like Chanel, Marni and Alessandro dell'Acqua alongside trusted highstreet labels with price tags that don't require a NAMA bailout. I recently dropped off a stash of 'worn once' designer pieces that are tagged between €20 (shoes) and €80 (silk jacket). Drop in and ask to try on Annmarie O'Connor's / I Blog Fashion's gear. Who knows? You may walk away with a damn good bargain! Oh - do drag your fella along. There's a small rail of shirts, hats, jackets and jeans; not to mention some metallic Dior b'ball boots and some window-licking gold Y-3 high tops afoot.  See if you can spot a pair in the pic to the right...
