winter woolies

I know we have only just started Summer, but you can never be too prepared for the inevitable Irish winter(also its raining and quite miserable outside today), and browsing through the fall 2010 collections I have a wish list. I love coats as I spend a good 70% of the year wearing them. The key is to find a coat or jacket that is practical yet wonderfully stylish at the same time. If your coat is savage then you don't have to worry as much about whats underneath. So my wish list begins...Burberry Prorsum's latest offerings are ohh so lovely.....I'm liking the extra large double collar and cosy looking sheep's skin, belted wrists ain't to shabby either. The inside out looking one is me fav I think. It looks soooo warm and soooo stylish, could be worn dressed up or with a pair of jeans...

Exhibition time..


The dress im wearing is by TBA, with a vintage belt and sky high Aldo heels. Im clutching my beloved Chanel 2.55 quilted handbag, in black lambskin. My love affair with this beautiful creation began many years ago. Any time I caught a glimpse of this handbag in a magazine or in reality I would turn into an obsessive crazy person. I would visit the Chanel concession in BTs (and still do) and stare at all the lovely things sitting on the shelves thinking someday I will own one of these. My obsessive outbursts didnt go unnoticed and on my 21st birthday my dream of owning a "real live" chanel handbag came through. even the packaging was fantastic, perfectly pleated tissue paper dotted with "cc" stickers wrapped around the quilted beaut. Its something I will treasure forever, I love it.

It's taken me a few days to get these together. Here are some pictures of my grad show exhibition at NCAD.

Summer Time




Summer time is finally upon us and college is finished so I thought it was time to make my foray into the world of blogging. I'm new to all of this so go easy on me. Seeing as I have just completed my degree show I suppose I should show you what it is I do. My printed textile degree collection, entitled Travel through Textiles, was inspired by vintage travel, with a hint of romance thrown in for good measure. This is a small selection of design work from the collection. Photographer: Brendan Bourke, Designer: Hannah Sheridan.
