Check out my stuff.

You might be getting a pain in your behind just looking at pictures of my clothes on this blog, but really, that’s what I do the blog for so beat it. But if you are, I’ve decided today is the day when you don’t have to look at over processed pics of my shoes, and instead you can look at over processed pictures of stuff I don’t wear on my feet! Here are 7, count’em, 7 things that I really like from around my house.

1) Blasphemy

2) Collection of personally photoshopped Jeff Golblum stuff.

3) Sewing Machine

4) Optimus Prime/Pez/Coca cola truck/Lego crew (with special guest star tealights).

5) Soma Bottle (Pompous Maximus)

6) Monroe

8) GORT

I feel this choonage is apt for this post. Cause it says ‘apartment’.

I thought you said ‘summer’?

I thought it was summer yesterday so I put on this dress. Then I went outside and it rained and I cried. Then I went for pints and the match in Sinnotts, then to The Port House for some meatballs. aubergine, patatas and other tapas style foodstuffs. Overall it was a good day but my legs were freezing.

Scarf/hood combo: RI

And while we’re at it -Asos SS 2011

If you are prone to spending money on shit you don’t need but that look pretty, look away now. Here are the campaign shots from Asos SS collection.

 

Street Snap

I was heading over for a sneaky Thrusday snifter last week when I was stopped in my enthusiastic tracks by a spiffing young man by the name of Stephen, who kindly asked to take my photie. Luckily through my my awesome powers of STALKING I registered that he was not in fact another crazy loon with a canon, and that he was the author of one of my fave Irish fashion blogs Stiches, Fabric and Soul. I wonder if he knew that if he’d had asked me to write ‘Trashbag’ on my face in mushy peas and jump on a plate of Coppinger Row’s calamari I would have done so with a smile on my face for him?

Stephen’s kind words:

I’m just going out on a limb here. . .

. . . thinking that Rumi Neely of fashiontoast is a possible style influence for this woman.
To be honest though, the initial reason I took this photo was because of the skirt length. It just seems so current, despite the hems offered by Isabel Marant, Balmain, et al for the current and upcoming seasons. After that though, everything else became much more apparent – the plausible Jeffrey Campbell shoes (though, and don’t hate me, I think they’re Topshop), the leopard print, the statement jewels, and ombre hair.
It’s great to see her translate this very tough and gothic style to our shores, all the time channelling her inspiration.

I got a new watch

It was my birthday the other day so I bought myself a watch. A big one.

Also, hi again.
