I love talking with girls backstage. They know so much stuff, always telling me the best things and we could talk for hours and hours but I’m there with a passion to take photographs and so her...
I just thought of this shot I took of yet another Rolling Stones Tee, this time backstage at Louise Gray. The fashion nerd in me loves the way the model has slashed the ends of her Tee (a simple DIY ...
Wishing I was going to a Rolling Stones concert this evening but settling for the next best thing (the final two episodes of the Bridge) instead. Eeeeeeeep! Still lusting Danielle Winkworth’s 4...
It’s true that models are mysterious. Some very beautiful and mysterious, but Danielle Winkworth is responsible for some of my most favorite fashion moments, whether it’s in London or Paris, this Iri...
There I was, looking to file away a whole load of shots and trying to pick out a really nice few for you, when this photo of a shirt stopped me dead in my tracks. And then I thought, well it’s ...
The results of tons of writing and typing will inevitably make its way onto the blog as posts but in the meantime I’ve been sluggishly slow as I seem to have disappeared down a writing rabbit h...
Let me tell you about my secret love… FRECKLES! I love them. From Julianne Moore to Eddie Redmayne who explained in the Telegraph recently that he’d take extra time to slather on sun scre...
For those who read this other blog post here and asked me about the khaki eyes at John Rocha’s A/W2012 show, then this is for you. If you pop in here regularly then you’ll know that IR...
I am not usually the sort to trumpet things as life changing. I do try my damnedest to be normal. Don’t get me wrong, I would easily classify my ‘puter as a close friend – since rec...
As half the creative world migrated to Austin for SXSW last week, it seems the other half descended on Dublin last weekend for OFFSET . I love Dublin and spend nearly half my time here. So for anyone...
Whilst looking through thousands of shots and twirling my hair and thinking about a fresh twist, I happened upon this… it’s from John Rocha and reminds me of a surfer girl who’s eme...
In the past few weeks I’ve had interview requests from people who want to ask me questions specifically geared towards the difference between my traditional book writing and my blogging. I know...
What sort of a writer would I be if I didn’t post something this week about film? Watching John Rocha’s Autumn/Winter 2012 show tucked out of the way backstage this swirling marabou skirt...
And so how is London Fashion Week going? Yeah, I think you might have guessed that it’s been SUPER BUSY here the past few days. That said, today it’s also pretty nippy so I thought it might be ...
Someone yesterday reminded me that they would be combing my fashion weeks reviews to see what I thought of their favorite designers and a little shiver went up my spine thinking how good many of the ...
P.S. (Just to say in the film that follows my heart did jump a little when Vivienne Westwood said “When I finish this pair of trousers, I can get back to reading my book”)
Whenever I plan to spend a weekend working, I always think, “Here’s the time to finally get loads of stuff done.” I plan to write heavy tomes, set up an immaculate folder system on my computer, tick ...
When I hopped in a car from Klagenfurt airport, I kept expecting us to arrive at a huge glass building with soundproof bedrooms, quite possibly with huge iron gates and bulky suited men speaking into...
Some of you have already been Tweeting me, asking if I’m still alive. This post is also for the rest of my family to reassure them at home and abroad that yes I’m fine and have made it safely into 20...
A few have asked to see this… a glitter eyeshadow, yet some may think it’s neither here nor there. Pink glitter on the eyes which in a flash can sparkle (or not). Well it happily complime...
A little while ago, I visited The Print Club London, where they allowed me to play !!Artist!! for a day and make 100 bespoke Goddess Guide screen prints – I write that word with exclamation mar...
It’s incredible some of the fashion things I’ll allow myself have when people start running around in Christmas Sarah Lund jumpers. I know perfectly well that my current jumper fixation has everythin...
From the cleanser which should be on all of our beauty lists to the powder we’ll be queuing to buy, I went backstage to meet Val Garland to find out what I should be asking Santa for this Chris...
It was such a pleasure to meet British transplant Ruby Jean Wilson during London Fashion Week. As I drooled over her bag and we chatted, I thought of Karl Lagerfeld’s words… “I don&...
A lot of things happened before the weekend and it has sorta taken me until now to understand. So here goes… as people filed into the 18th-century Hawksmoor church (above) in East London on Friday fo...
You know how you hear a word for the first time and then hear it again twice more in the same week? A similar thing is happening to me with books. A couple of weeks back, I found myself documenting b...
I can finally reveal why I’ve been flying in and out of Dublin the past few weeks. Ireland woke up to a new Irish President this week and I’ve been shadowing him. Well err… not shadowing him li...
It’s intimidating stepping behind the scenes to shadow Ireland’s president. It’s quite obvious to everyone that I’m a bit nervous taking the task on. Have you ever read George Orwell’s essay on how t...
Many thanks for the response to my last post on superhero special powers (I wish I’d had some last night). I’ve had mails and comments from all over with the best (and last) coming from a...
If you had to choose between being invisible or being able to fly for one day which would you choose? It’s a tricky one. Moving about undetected may carry its attractions; robbing a Swiss bank ...
