How to wear leggings for every minute of Christmas, even the parties
Post by TM The first rule of wearing leggings every day is to make sure you own multiple oversized tops. And when I say oversized I mean they must hide your crotch. You know why. As I write this, I’m on the bus, driving home for Chrismas and I’ve just realised I’ve left my leggings at […]
MoreTrend Watch: Embroidered Jeans
Post by CM I haven’t bought a pair of jeans in years. My favourite denim substitution items in my wardrobe is a pair of black Penney’s jeggings, acquired for the princely sum of €13. The other jeans I have in rotation are a pair of light denim straight legged jeans handed down from TM. I am […]

Post by TM A few weeks ago, I was walking past River Island as I do every day on my way to work, and because for some reason I had some time to spare (this is very rare. Extremely rare) I popped in and just bought a jacket. The jacket in question is a waterproof(ish) […]

MoreOn (Arcade) Fire – Concert Street Style
Post by TM My biggest regret of last year was waiting too long to buy a ticket for Blur, who were playing in the Royal Hospital, Kilmainham, an idiotic move for someone who had a sticker of Damon Albarn pasted to her bedpost throughout her teenage years (come to think of it, it’s still there). I […]
MoreFashion Month Fiends
Post by CM Something has infiltrated the fashion world, and has been attaching itself to the style mavens of New York, London, Milan and Paris.
