Whether choosing the quintessential white palette she has become known for or embracing the metallic gold choices, this designer is …

After flying home to Ireland yesterday from Dubai, stopping off in Avoca for some great Irish food, celebrating one of my 4 grandparents 85th birthday last night and a day catching up with family, time finally allowed to take out the camera and have some fun shooting 7 days of style.
Leaving 46 degrees heat meant a greater need for jeans and blazers for protection from the elements though today saw a high of 20 degrees (all things being relative!) and warmer than I anticipated! What…A Savida white shirt, Ann Taylor striped jumper, Splash necklace with denim jeans and Zara boots.

As the sale rails empty, AW12 has already started to appear in our favourite shops. Always keeping a close eye on Ireland’s emerging designers, Sinéad Doyle’s latest collection ‘Resurgence’ looks at the Dark Side of Nature featuring clashing textures, hidden structural detail and bright silk and printed linings.

Mixed with limited edition pieces to a collection of ready to wear designs, some of the favourites include these beautiful creations from this remarkable Irish …

One of my favourite online purchases are these Alexander Wang flat boots with cut out heel detail. After making a new years resolution to bring more colour into my life, a cherished tee from Fashion’s Night Out in New York from a past love affair with the city in 2009, teamed with a bold neon Zara necklace, it is the perfect touch of colour for my classic monochrome outfit.

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. The Dublin branch saw more than 60 pieces from 17 Dublin based artists hang throughout the Grafton Street department store.
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 …

It’s that time of year – Graduate Fashion Shows and Presentations! These shows are run across the globe from our very own Limerick School of Art & Design to London’s prestigious Graduate Fashion Week to New York’s notorious Fashion Institute of Technology and Parsons.

There’s is nothing better than creative Irish people in our eyes, so when we see these stars shining abroad – attention must be paid!
 

Last night in New York City, Parson’s MFA Graduate Sinead Lawlor impressed the industry giants such as Donna Karan, who is herself a Parsons Alum. Dubliner Sinead had done her initial BA …

Many designers and artisans sketch beautiful creations, ideas and subjects of inspiration bringing them to life with a talented and skillful team. Manolo Blahnik’s book of shoe sketches is one of my most cherished coffee table books and in an age of online magazines and digital books, seeing beautiful artistic sketches is a rarity.
