Awear hosted a fab night last week rammed with students on a mission to find a bargain, drink yummy free bulmers Berry, listen to top choons spun by Phantom FM's beautiful Michelle Doherty and avail of 30% off Awears latest gorgeous creations.
What wasn't to love?
It was elbows at the ready at 6pm with throngs o stylish ladies streaming through the doors for a night of everything girly.
I managed to nab a very sparkly 'goes with everything'sequined cardi which I will wear all summer, an extreamly 'Chung worthy' ditsy polka dot skirt and a brilliant black jumper dress.
If that wasnt enough we were all treated to nifty Awear goodie bags on the way out with excellent freebies from HotPress, Rockstar Tan, Paperchase, Red Bull, Starbucks, Gosh Cosmetics and far to many other exciting bits and bobs to mention.

Cork ladies are next in line for the royal treatment with a big event planned for 21st April in Awear's Patrick St Store. Celebrating the arrival of GOSH, Paperchase & the fab new Attic destination upstairs! With cool sounds planned from Clare O’Dwyer at RED FM......sharpen your elbows and dig out your flats ladies..........

In the meantime, here are some snaps from the Henry Street student lock in.

Apology

Apologies for the lack of recent posts, Ive been celebrating my birthday, milking it for close to a week now.

I promise to be back very very soon. x

I love her look - Deborah Harry

“I feel one of the things I brought to rock and roll was that sort of movie star glamour and image, and that's what always fascinated me. I always wanted to be that blonde, glowing woman on film, and it was sort of automatically thrown at my feet -- and I went with it.”
Debbie Harry

(a lot of images I know but I love her dearly)

H! by Henry Holland

Debenham's latest deasigner collaboration, this time with with Henry Holland has just gone on sale on line and there are so many brilliant pieces to choose from.

Henrys ticked all the trends in his own signature unique and fun way.

Its said that he took his inspiration for the collection from 90s flick (and work of genius in my eyes) Clueless, and this is so apparent with vibrant clashing colours, florals, checks 90s grunge and vibrant graphic prints bursting from the collection.

All pieces seems to be at really reasonable pricepoints too.



The collection is available on line from the link above and in stores soon, as I write im not entirely sure what irish stores will stock it but rollon payday I say!

We will strive to take on visible and effective projects (schools, workshops etc) at grass roots level, and work hard to generate lasting trust and relationships.

“Getting our website up and running will help fulfill our aim of becoming a trustworthy, transparent and innovative organisation. We see the website as an invaluable tool in showing people how funds are allocated and more importantly, how necessary they are to the children in these projects."

Treats in store from A Wear......

It’s time to wave goodbye to a season of sequins & shoulder pads as spring at A|wear returns with a nostalgic retro Americana vibe titled ‘Dakota Blue’. Denim rules the roost for spring but it’s denim with an A|wear twist…relaxed separates from waistcoats to oversized shirts and the trusty faded blue jean. Choose from easy to wear snap-front ditsy floral shirts, cut off waistcoats and relaxed jackets in rugged or faded denim. Borrowed from the boys, waistcoats and logo tees are customised & feminised creating a look with lots of tomboyish and girly charm.

CEO of A|wear Annmarie Flood says, “It’s time to lift the mood on the high street, spring has officially arrived & holidays are on the way. Dakota Blue is inspired by the everyday girl…..fun, easy to wear, relaxed pieces, reigniting our passion for all things with a feminine touch. Simple striped dresses, delicate floral tee’s & reinvented denim are all key to this look. A prevailing new gentle on the eye colour palette also makes a comeback…..pastels, honey, khakis & jersey grey are all essentials. As with every A|wear collection, each piece is designed with the price conscious customer in mind, with dresses starting from €30, tee’s from €8 and blouses from €25.”
