Holy Shirts!!!!.





I have just witnessed the latest viktor & rolf collection and its aaaaaamazing. The wonderful designer duo have reworked the classic shirt and i want ever single one of their oh so lovely Spring/ Summer collection. The skinny trousers with shirt cuffed bottom are just the beginning, the collection moves into simple shift style dresses with touches of shirt here and there. There is of course the ultimate shirtastic creation saved until the very end, multiple layers of shirting, puffed sleeves and buttons....an explosion of shirts. Mmmm delicious.


I love the red patent shoes...yum yum....I WANT! Now to dig out all those white shirts and get making :)

puurrrfect print



I love a bit of leopard print in all shapes and forms. Theres nothing better than a pop of leopard print with an all black outfit be it a scarf, shoes or a loverly coat as can be seen on all the fashionistas lately. Take a look at the ever stylish Olsen twins and Ms Chung rocking the spot. Ive been living in my(sisters) leopard print coat as of late, previously I had been wearing a hand me down from my mum , a short leopard jacket that seemed to go with everything...must find that one again. I dont think leopard print will ever really be out of fashion, I know I'll always have it in my wardrobe.
p.s. Apologies for the puntastic heading...but i do love a good pun!

Forgotten treasures..


After three months living out of a suitcase,a rather large over stuffed suitcase (I had genuine fears that it would explode at dublin airport and my knickers would be strewn all over the luggage carousel, thankfully that didn't happen) I have returned to the rest of my wardrobe. I love that when you get home from a trip and rediscover all the clothes you had forgotten about. What is even more exciting is that some of these rediscovered gems are bang on trend and have been on my wishlist.

So here is what I discovered: 1. Camel coloured cape a la Zara. 2.Long grey knitted dress gifted to me by my wonderful gran. 3.Leopard print faux fur coat courtesy of my sis (but she is unaware of this) 4. Grandad Aran knit cardy (just like the fetching one above) 5. Black floppy hat...lovely things to find.

the wanderer returns

After 3months and many adventures I have returned from the bright lights and crazy living of New York city. I had intended to keep my blog up to date but in between lack of internet and hectic living I fell behind. Over the next few posts you might spot the odd snap of NYC and the mischief we (Daz, Bex and I) got up to.

A place that we spent a lot of time was Bedford Avenue, hop on the L line to Brooklyn and you arrive at what can only be described as the epicentre of hipsters. The area is awash with cool kids, beautiful bicycles (which i lusted after constantly), quirky shops and deeeelicious restaurants.If you wander away from the main drag to the waterfront there is a great view of Manhattan's skyline, and the ever changing weather. The day we went there was a Jewish family swimming (fully clothed). A great image of NYC in the background and the kids in the foreground
Daz and I pondering life.....


Farewell tall buildings, sirens, lights,dollar bills, bagels and hello green fields, starry skies, real butter and party times :)
