Me and Zena necklace €16

Nina Chakrabarti

I heart Florence

I love her. I do.

Ive been trying to convince my flatmate that a giant sequined moon swing like the one from her latest video is necessary for our living room in lieu of a christmas tree.

I wanna do a post in her honor too, just as soon as I can think of a pun her name fits into.....

....could be a while.

Here she is looking only massive at the T4 Stars of 2009 night......

And heres Oscar the Grouch, god sorry no, Paloma Faith at the same event.

Honestly love, no.

Just no.

Sensational Smalls

Came across some beautiful pictures on The Independent website today of a shoot styled by Niamh O'Rourke with photography by Andreas Pettersson. The shoot showcases some lovely smalls from Myla and such at BT's and jewellery from the divine Luxury Hall.

The article was edited by Constance Harris and can be viewed at the above link.

Gal's about Town - Carrie Ann Moran

So, I was struck down with flu and feeling a little sorry for myself lately so I have been quite slow with the ole blog posts, thank you for pointing this out Emma, so to make up for it heres another glimpse into the fashionable brains of our very own Gals about Town and the lovely Carrie Ann Moran of Rediscover Fashion is up next, a link to the site is above but find out more about this exciting new endevour by Carrie and Co. in an upcoming post........

'Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek' Thats what I mostly said for about an entire week before Decembers issue of the very fab mag Stellar came out, 8 of us bloggers had been asked by Stellars lovely fashion editor Corina Gaffey to be interviewed and photographed for an article entitled 'A passion for fashion'.

Above is my page, yup thats right, we each got a full page hence the eeeeeeeeeeekkkkk. I need not have been too worried tho as the Stellar team did a great job on the article and on representing each of our various styles.

Decembers issue of Stellar is still very much available in newsagents until mid next month for the recession kicking price of 2 euros.

Get in.

My oh Miles

Thanks smorls. xx

Liberty Blue

Whilst at Off the Rails in the RDS on Sunday I chanced across a great little boutique called Liberty Blue which I was told is located up north at 19-21 Lombard Street, Belfast.

Gorgeous trinket necklaces, hats, brooches, hair slides and clothes were displayed amongst pictures of Debbie Harry, Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. Their stand was really pretty and I had to pop on the internet afterwards to check them out. Their website seems to be under construction but you can take a peek at their myspace on the above link.

Check out these beauts.....

Gorgeous. I want both please.

Nice work Chung one

I got a bit of a dose of Alexa envy today when I saw this picture of her..........

She manages to pull off the cutest clothes whilst anyone else might look like they have plundered a three year olds wardrobe whilst they were in playschool.

More examples of her skills over time........

Damn you Chung, you win this one.
