I usually prefer a white, clean space, but am slightly, ridiculously in love with the salvage look too.. Here’s a fantastic example of that particular style, which was a collaboration between London architects Stiff + Trevillion and the team from the excellent salvage specialist website, Retrovious. Images via the brilliant site : Remodelista, which you should really visit if you’re doing up your house/workspace. Excellent resources and inspiration.

Just three images from the Isabel Marant collection, which I just love. Simple, effective, a tad homeless, and lots of other good words. Somebody give me some money so I can me some of this?!

How to survive when you have no monies for clothes? Rob your friend’s old t-shirts, and rip the neck/back/sleeves out of them. The t-shirt in the top photo is one of my all-time favourite pieces of clothing right now, and as I type this, I am still wearing the checked shirt I robbed from him a week ago. *insert evil laugh*
Thanks..and sorry! D.

I had to repost these illustrations from the utterly fantastic fashion blog : Stylebubble. I would give my left arm or at the very least, a little finger, to be able to create fashion illustrations such as these ones from Danish Design School graduate Ann-Sofie Madsen. The images of her actual finished garments show how well she translated her pieces from the thoughts in her head, which I imagine is an incredibly difficult thing to do, unless you;re somewhat of a genius like Ann-Sofie. View the rest of the images oer on Stylebubble >>here<<.

Dave Coffey, the writer,director and actor from the satirical mockumentary ’Dan & Becs’ has a new Tallaght version of said same“Dan & Becs” airing on RTE2 on September 14th… …“Sarah & Steve” was written and directed by Dave, and also written by Emmet Kirwin who plays ‘Steve’.
‘Sarah and Steve” is a sweet and incredibly funny look at the relationship between shop assistant ‘Steve’ and hairdresser ‘Sarah’, who is played by the quite brilliant and pretty Charlene Gleeson.
Take a look at the promos, become a fan of them on facebook, tell your friends, and generally show some Irish talent the love.

It’s that time of the week again - when I just put up any old random image I please. Wait - every day is that particular time of the week here on this, my own little world of random nonsense. Ah well, nothing wrong with randomness. Enjoy.

My hair is generally living off by itself in a land of dementedness, in fact it’s the king of that land. Yes my hair is a man, it seems. Sometimes when shooting, the down look just won’t work with me, so like today I just try and hold it up like a garda with a drunk auld lad. I’ve heard of things like clips and hairbands, but I just don’t think they’ll catch on. Hands will do.
I’m also trying to up my game on my own images here on blanaid.com..this casual outfit seemed harmless enough to start with…. Thanks to Dave from The Coffey Filter for wandering around with me, taking these and generally being awesome and win about the whole photo thing.
Pleather Boys’ jacket : Oxfam €5.00
Checked shirt : Robbed from a friend.
(His shirts are my favourite casual things to wear for sure. I’ll continue robbing them til’ he has none left, then we’ll get to go shoppiiiing!)
Navy Trousers : €5.00 in the sale in Vila, hence the heinous fit.
Man’s belt : River Island.
Incredibly old wedges : Faith, €8.00 in the sale.

Love this blog - My Daily Style with the stunning (grrr) Mireia in Barcelona. She moves effortlessly from floaty and natural to rock and back again. I once spent a very long time reading her blog from start to finish, and every now and again I like to have another little traipse through it… check it out >here<..

If I ever got off my sorry scared ass and started making huge word filled canvases (canvii?) they would be along these lines…. they would also be as large as the image below from photographer Jean Pierre Lemoine, via Desire to Inspire.
