brand alert: forfex

I can’t remember how I first came across Forfex but I felt that as I feel now, disappointed that I haven’t got man-sized feet to shove into the amazing and creative shoes. Now stocked by Opening...

obsession, by me

drool I need this in my life.

Spring Pastels

I’m not usually a pastel (or floral, for that matter) sort of person. My wardrobe consists of monochrome and metallics, mostly. Whilst i’m not usually too trend driven in my sartorial choices...

kate moss – w mag march 2012

My friend bought W recently for her artist boyfriend who likes to draw inspiration from high profile editorials. Flicking through it I thought I recognised the cover star & model in one of the...

i am wearing clothes

I’m loving collars underneath things at the moment. I always love leopard print and gold anyway. This navy Zara tunic once had delicate chiffon sleeves, but as with a lot of Zara items they soon...

girlcrush #grimes

A lot of my favourite things seem to come from Canada – Chromeo, Trailer Park Boys, Mountain Dew, Ryan Gosling and now Grimes. I am so excited about seeing her play at Forbidden Fruit Festival in...

Pour myself a cup of ambition

This is a regular working day outfit for me. I’m currently working a fulltime job with college one evening a week and volunteering for a charity. It’s all go! As much as I love fashion and am...

Printspiration

I’m seriously loving prints right now. Not the easiest to wear, but I’m determined to get my clash on and join the printed masses soon, using the above pictures as inspiration. What say you: Prints...

Do It Like a Dude

It’s not a post about Jessie J, thankfully. Inspired by this post on Boy Meets Fashion, where I fell in love with his studded shoulder jumper, I took a peek on the Topman sale section to see what...

Summer In Ireland

Via Lula Magazine Scrapbook Love this photo, it pretty much personifies summer in Ireland outside of The Pale (non-Irish readers, wiki that). Well, where I grew up anyway. Also, it seems like the...

That Shit Cray

I guess everyone has probably seen this by now, but it’s still worth posting. Can you see why?

Glass of Guinness

Well, it is nearly Paddy’s Day. I got this dress online from She Inside - it is the softest wool and fits beautifully…on my housemate. (damn you, boobs!) Here she is modelling it for me. Seriously,...

Perfect Sunday

Here’s how I’m hoping today will go. With a little bit of assignment work thrown in (ugh). (Yes, I love New Girl, and I’m not ashamed to admit it! Schmidt is easily the best character. Chut-a-ney.)...

Charlotte Gainsbourg for Balenciaga

From the fashion vault, yes. Regardless of how old it is it’s still an ad that I love. I’m so intrigued by Charlotte, with Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin for parents, why wouldn’t you be intrigued?

Welcome to AlphaStyle

New blog name! I did it! I came up with myself! Thanks for your help and the messages I received privately also assisting in the name change. It was a long time coming. If any of you have me listed...

Make Life More Colourful

I love this video for Uniqlo’s ankle length skinnies, featuring Tavi Gevinson and Cyndi Lauper amongst a heap of regular Joe’s like you and I.

Bill Cunningham New York

Forget Scott Schuman or Tommy Ton, Bill Cunningham is the 80+yrs old original street style photographer. More than just a photographer, he is described by some as a historian of fashion in New York...

Such a cliché

I’m in love with Zara. I pass by a fairly large Zara store every day on my way to & from work. Some days I go in & get annoyed with everything in the shop, other days, like today, I go in and fall...

Mary Katrantzou

From A/W 2012. I’d like a bit of that please. Peplums, pleats and prints, oh my. Images via style.com
