TM and CM are proud to announce that we are not so much Irish Mice but Venetian ones, at least until Monday! We’ll report back next week – happy weekend one and all! This is how to dress when in Italy – but it’s always good advice to follow the Gwen’s lead! Advertisements
MorePost by C.M. Off I popped to the little smoke to attend the screening and awards for the Galway Technical Institute FETAC Level 5 and 6 Film and TV Production classes of 2013, Upstairs in Kelly’s. First of all – great venue! Upstairs plays host to many a gig and the setup was perfect for […]
MorePost by T.M. “I’ve never been so annoyed in my life!” is what I say every time I can’t find an item of clothing that I was banking on to finalise an outfit. I often reach this stage of annoyance when looking for my black H&M mini skirt that basically has the same texture as […]
MorePost by C.M. Fashion editors are heralding the arrival of block heels; maybe with the hindsight of countless Fashion Weeks spent trudging to and from the Shows, they welcome the arrival of a sensible shoe and are telling us all that the shoes look good for their own benefit.

They get a bad rep, hipsters do, they merely want to be “individual”. Because I’m not actually […]
MorePost by C.M. So, as I was saying! It was a great night to be in Galway last Thursday. The sun was shining, the atmosphere was summery, there was a mini-festival in honour of the launch of The Depravations’ album in that most Galway of Galway pubs Arus na Gael. I even ordered a drink […]
MorePost by C.M. I was at the album launch of the brilliant Galway based band The Depravations on Thursday. It was quite some night, with a myriad of other bands playing support in Arus na Gael – needless to say, being a hooley in the West I’m still recovering, but will tell you all about […]
MorePost by TM I blame the Coachella festival for putting it in my head. By ‘it’ I mean of course, summer style. CM and I have a couple of trips coming up – out of the country and all, but more about that later… – which means wardrobe update time! The problem lies with tiny cabin bag […]
MorePost by C.M. What do Duchess Catherine the Great Middleton and I have in common? Besides owning a pair of go-to nude heels, possessing demon hair that turns into a frizzy beast in humidity and having a penchant for recycling favourite outfits, not a lot. However there is one more pivotal thing: a mutual love […]
