Sometimes, I feel that things can be both completely definite but also completely uncertain at the same time. Like, I definitely need to do something, but I’m uncertain how to do it, but I’m definite in the fact that I’ll figure it out, but I’m still uncertain as to what ‘it’ is exactly.
The only thing I am definite about at this moment in time, is that I don’t have to react to uncertainty. I don’t have to remove myself from a situation because of it, or try and change things to remove it from the situation. Because the only thing that’s definite, for all the stress it causes - is that the uncertainty is the interesting part. It’s when everything starts becoming definite - well, that’s when it also all starts to get boring.
(I hope this makes sense. It’s been a long week.)

I need this suit, perfectly slouchy.

Apologies for the lack of blogging, we are currently ripping our new studio apart, designing websites, brochures, buying furniture and lighting, the list is endless!
I’m heading down a bit of a plywood/wood road with the interiors, here are a few images I’m working from.

Isn’t it interesting how a failed relationship can become one of your favourite friendships? How you really, truly, unselfishly want them to be happy, just because they are kind and brilliant, and one time you loved them, and the best part of that remains.

Sometimes you have to indulge the parts of you you’d rather didn’t exist. The tired part of your brain or the dark side of your mood or the imperfect part of your physicality. Nobody wants to just live for tomorrows, but sometimes, it helps you to give up on today. And sometimes, giving up is an achievement in itself …so, go to bed, get some sleep. There will be a better day. There will be a natural moment when it stops feeling like an effort, and that is worth all those forced moments you spent trying to pretend that you were okay.

Just a collection of black and grey randomness. Mostly found on ffffound. I’d link them all individually, but they’re from the backlog of my folders, sorry!

Colouring inside the lines is no more. Paint is sloppy and spilled and distressed and clumpy and looks like you did it yourself, which is great news, as I am the world’s most impatient painter. I generally end up with it all over the floor, myself, the furniture, the cups and cutlery, the taps, my toothbrush, my car door handle, my front door handle, the towels, my pillow, everywhere. So I’m welcoming the disorganised application method with open, paint-covered arms.
It’s also particularly suitable for our new apartment, which some of you may remember, we tore asunder when we moved in…On taking the carpets up, we realised the floorboards were destroyed with paint and stain, but it looked kind of brilliant, so we left them as they are… See some of the images > here <

Why would you spend 2K on a diamond engagement ring, when you could have this YSL beauty for €335.00? Stunning. It would almost make me consider the whole marriage thing (in the far, far distant future), OR I could just work hard and buy it for myself. Yeah, think I’ll go with the latter, less hassle. See it >here<

Yeah, you are better than that, and fine, I know you’re scared. But… this is not a dress rehearsal and I don’t think that either of us believe for a minute that sitting around thinking about the play is quite the same as getting up on the stage. You’re brilliant, just start.

One more shoot post from Ciúin Tracey, bit of a crazy/evil/demented take on a regular ball-going ‘ensemble’…There are just so many images from the shoot so these posts may continue for quite some time! Thank you Ciúin!
.My friend and I were just talking about the kind of stuff we wear on a night out, and how maybe we should ‘tone it down’ a bit…then I decided, well no, when I’m 70-odd, I’ll look back at my 20-odd year old self and say - ‘why the hell didn’t you go even crazier you silly girl.’ So in conclusion, I dress the way I do on a night out in order to keep my future self satisfied. As good a reason as I can muster.
Gown - Around €120.00 Karen Millen, Kildare Outlet Village.
Belt - €15.00 Bay Trading
Feather Bolero - €5.00 Sue Ryder Charity Shop, Kilkenny.

P.S I am going to start doing the normal macbook camera outfit posts again though, as I don’t tend to wear ballgowns toddling about the place on a day to day basis..well, maybe every second day..
Just a quick post to say a huge thank you to House and Home magazine for including me in their ‘Hot 100 People, Places and Products’ in this month’s edition, out now. I genuinely love this magazine, so it was a complete honour and thrill to be in this issue….

I learned today that my car has to be scrapped, following my altercation with black ice over Christmas. Must buy a new one. I reckon I’ll either have to get a banger for the time being, or, if funds are relatively stable, a Nissan Figaro. I know they’re pretty common now, but I’ve wanted one for 8 years so…
However, if all else fails, I’ll get this moped. Yes it looks like a dodgem car, but I kind of need it.
