What i wore today

hurrah for my new fringed bag. I've wanted one for ages. but could never find one with the right length of tassels. Topshop selfishly brought one out when i was unemployed. So now, it's on. it's on with Awear who brought out this one for 30 euro. STEAL! plus 10% for students. JOB!

This works with everything in the world ever. in fact, I bought two. One which looks like a black alexa. but it's going back. two handbags in one day is insanity....insanity when I have a work trip to Galway coming up this week....

PORN!

studded headband

how cool is this? studded headband from topshop. Hurrah!

LO -ho hits rock bottom.

What an embarrassment. I don't know if this is true or not. But if it is, its pretty humiliating for Lo-ho.

Apparently, Lo-ho (lindsey lohan) has asked Chanel to design her a few stickers to 'jazz' up her alcohol monitoring tag. Oh the levels of scarlet for her.

"Can CHANEL please help me out by getting me some stickers to put on my scram bracelet so that I can at least wear a chic dress?! maybe!? (sic)," she wrote on her Twitter page

please please please let this be true. it's too funny! Because after the millions Chanel spend on advertising and the what not, they would be totally up for letting someone who wears an alcohol tag and spends her time wasted wandering from club to club to forget about her washed up career wear a chanel logo.

bitch please!

logo pops!

logo pops. totally feeling the chanel one today

outfit!

For the first time in ages, I got stopped by a blogger! Very Very funny. I'm not normally used to it. Given that I still think I dress terribly. However I am a bit squinty and pulling my 'interesting' face. which makes me look a bit, well, ill. But still how exciting!

bag = river island

vest = yummie tummie brown thomas

trousers = topshop

shoes = pennys

Rocking the Hund!

I don't quite know why, but I am sort of loving the madness that is Judith Leiber, The insane designer who I have featured before. (check back to see the santa bags and the beehive bags) This, available from netaporter.com is the newest bag in her collection. the Dachshund.

In other less fancy words.....The sausage dog.
This bag costs over 4,500. yeah. i know.
It's kinda cute in an insane, dear lord why sort of way.
Apparently it can be worn with all manner of skinny jeans and blazers. insanio.
whaddya think? like, not like? I wanna know what you think!

If money were in fact, no issue for you. would you buy a diamond crusted hund?

If you did rock the hund? what would you rock it with?

I am also organising 25 prizes to be won for random blog followers. So if your not a follower already...add yourself now by clicking the follow this blog button!

prizes include MAC cosmetics, Ted Baker goodies, M store cosmetics, Benefit cosmetics, Body shop prizes and a few other bits! So, if you want in add in.

me

at age 21.

in a rather fetching green vest, black tie and shit wristband combo. The only thing worse then that is the knowledge that I am at a party. In my house. With no make-up on.

but i suppose i was 21, you can do those things at 21

another day, another designer headpiece.....oh it's a hard life....

another SATC premier, another philip Tracey headpiece for Carrie, I mean SJP. And an Alexander McQueen dress. Apparently the band on her arm is a tribute to McQueen as well.

I preferred her headpiece from the first film, see below.

WTF! what happened to fiddy!!!!

I don't normally care about fiddy. It's not like he is fashionable or a designer or anything useful. so why would I talk about him? In fact, I find most of his videos and lyrics offensive to women. But I nearly spat out my double shot skinny latte (I had a posh coffee morning) when I saw this. This. is. 50. cent.

Apparently after dropping half his body weight to play a cancer patient in his new movie. WTF! he took to the treadmill for three hours a day and ate a liquid diet to loose 54 pounds for the movie. It reminds me of Christian Bale who lost 63 pounds for his role in the Machinist. Then bulked back up for batman in six weeks. Fiddy is back on tour and eating again building his strength up.

It took him 9 weeks to look like this.

It still doesn't make his lyrics any less annoying or offensive. hopefully, he'll actually give up making rap like he threatened when Kanye beat him to No.1 with Stronger and go into acting. I saw 'get rich or die trying'. he wasn't half bad in it....

Urban outfitters 20 per centage off

just a note to say that Urban Outfitters in Dundrum will be offering 20% off this Friday as a bit of an aul' event. Complete with apparent cider sponsorship from Kopperburg and DJs from 2FM.

deal or no deal people????

RiRi and her BT dash, well, more like stint....

Apparently RiRi has been in Dublin....you will know her by the trail of the BT bags...

She spent THREE HOURS! in the Grafton street store. Wow. I thought I was clever spending an hour salivating in the Jimmy Choo section!!!

She left with serious amounts of baggage, a dent in her credit card....and a lipstick from MAC. need to find out which one.

Rihanna does like to rock a strong statement lip

french connection advertising campaign. powerscourt dublin

I love the new french connection advertising campaign. it changes everytime I walk past. None of it really makes sense. but it makes sense to me because it makes no sense. right? anyone else? I love that the writing changes so often as well. However, it's better then all this, the man and the woman crap.

WHATS ON IN : DUBLIN.

VARIETY MEET: 3RD YEAR ART EXHIBITION :

It's that time of the year again. where art students and deadlines meet and result in, a show.
So this time it's NCAD's turn to have a show.
Cross gallery. Francis street. Tuesday night (3rd of june) at half 7 and runs till thursday. happy days.

the black wig

black eyeliner = MAC

unicorn = topshop

mink nails = Nails inc

I heart wigs. In fact. I heart them a lot. This is my new one. A black bobbed wig from the joke shop of Grafton street which cost me 20 yoyos.

R earrings = topshop

pink umbrella on the door = Brown Thomas
navy heart shaped bag = urban outfitters

lipstick = No. 52 by Barry M.

Necklace with the pearls = topshop

Love necklace = topshop.

Another easy ending............

For a few days I have been mulling over the storyline of SATC 2. I have to say, I think this film is going to be a massive let down.

Really.

I wont go into the many reasons why I think it will be. But here is one of my points.

erm, Stanford and Anthony are apparently a couple. And are getting civil partnershipped to each other.

RIIIIIIIGHT.

any fan will know that Anthony and Stanford can't stand each other. Stanford was last seen getting about 5 lines in the last film and hanging off Mark (his model boyfriend) and Anthony was last recorded making some bitchy comment about Carrie's wedding dress to Charlotte and screaming about dogs peeing on it.

I'm sorry. I just don't believe it. It's so far beyond wrong it's not even funny. It strikes me as an easy ending to saga. I was happy when they kissed in the first one. The humour being, because they hated each other.

But I think it's just a happy ending to keep us gays happy. That there is a bit of an 'aul civil partnership' in there. Sorry now, but the other problem is that they don't stop there. They wheel Liza Minelli out to complete the sorry story.

I would have liked to see them work a bit harder not to lump two characters together because they 'happen' to gay. It would be like throwing Carrie at Smith or at Harry because they 'happen' to be straight.

I don't know if anyone agrees with me or if I am just ranting for the sake of ranting on.

But here are my other points of discontent with the film :

• miley cyrus - shudder
• penelope Cruz - really? are we really doing this now?
• that all of a sudden Carrie is all about having a baby when she was the poster girl for single gals everywhere. not. realistic.at. all
• Morocco. I want NYC!
• The advertising bit for Halston. I'm sorry. Halston is a great label. but the new film is nothing more then a vehicle for Carrie (sorry SJP) who is their new creative director to get the buzz going again about a label that up until the new film, people had forgotten about.

That's all I can think of for now.

the ultimate horror being that Miley Cyrus is in it. that killed it stone dead for me. shudder.

THE DREADFUL DIARIES

THE DREADFUL DIARIES :

urgh, where to start?

So, one coffee, a lot of bus rides later I found myself knee deep in Kerry. Up a mountain. being eaten alive by bugs. I wasn't sure I would survive. Given that I am a mutant hybrid of former country girl to city girl. Bred on a diet of diet cokes and midnight trips to burger king and vogue. So it was with great surprise that I took to the country quite well.

Once I remembered to get a good stash of smokes, reads and foods. I found myself in a small caravan up a mountain befriending an alpaca for company. At one point I even went for a walk with a horse.

not usually what you would expect from someone who expenses nail varnish at work. 

but it made me think back to the days of yester year when I was a 10 year old tomboy running around the mountains at home like something out of Heidi. swinging from trees and hurling myself into lakes. I kinda missed it. the only thing I hurle myself into now is the george. I even found myself agreeing to an adventure weekend in Kerry in the near future.

It was nice to get away from the demands and the stresses of city life.

The only downside being. back in the city. I found myself set to de-stress. meaning I am finding it hard to work myself back up to a stress filled lifestyle.

i just don't have the energy. at all.

so a few events later and a few coffees later I find myself wondering why I am trying so hard to break myself by running around? I am always knee deep in a project or five. urgh. So, I think I am going to run and move away from Dublin as soon as my college course finishes in September. Where she stops? no one knows.
