Rather than brining you a traditional feature of me posing for shots, my style posts will feature detailed photos of outfits including the shoes, bags and accessories. It’s All in the Detail. 

Last week some of Ireland’s latest and greatest fashion bloggers, journalists and street style snappers descended on Dublin for a variety of events to mark eBay.ie’s Online Fashion Week and we were glad to attend!
Hosted by fashion guru Darren Kennedy, a series of fashion talks were hosted to celebrate the Irish fashion industry with contributions from Classic with Colour favourite Natalie B Coleman, Irish Times Fashion Blogger Rosemary McCabe (love her refreshing honesty!) as well as Melanie Morris, Constance Harris, Angela Scanlon and many,many more.
Streamed live online and using the power of Twitter with the official …

A favourite of ours is Dubai based brand Reemami. Designer Reema Al Banna creates eclectic collections using interesting and unconventional construction, mixes materials, patterns and textures which are showstopping, quirky and fun for fashion followers who don’t take life too seriously and want to express their personality in a frivolous and different way.

A few weeks back two twins celebrated one birthday in two cities. Wanting an alternative solution to a typical Dubai style birthday brunch with a focus on some girlie time with a fabulous group of friends, after enjoying a fashionable conversation with the wonderful Dana from Expose Communications Belle Femme at Home was the perfect answer.
Arriving fully equipped to my apartment, they set up stations with tables, towels and pillows and treated us to wonderful manicures, pedicures and massages bringing the experience of a salon to the privacy and comfort of your own home. Catering to the requests of 7 …

We love when Art & Fashion come together – Here’s the Art & Style Exhibition that has just wrapped up across Brown Thomas stores. Brown Thomas stores in Dublin, Limerick, Cork and Galway hosted 36 contemporary artists creations ranging from sculpture, painting, illustrations and installations.

On Grafton Street, every window told its own story as 8 artists used the space in to display their creativity in their favoured medium. Some of our favourite works are below, by Dee Walsh, Kitty Moss  and …
