Random… 1st photo from H&M, fourth photo from a home the actress Julianne Moore designed, and finally, Miss Wasson.

I was planning a Joanne Hynes post for Irish week but Styleisle.ie has actually done a far better job than I had ever intended….so all I will just say that not only are Joanne Hynes’ designs beautiful, but her website is quite incredibly cool AND she comes across as a very interesting person in interviews. I think she’s one designer whose clothes I could happily wear forever.
Visit her website < here > and like her on facebook < here >
If you have a favourite Irish designer, please do share in the comments section!

I hope you don’t mind that I’ve chosen my favourite Irish made item from these stores rather than just feature the stores themselves. I will be doing store posts too, but I just loved these items on their own merit so much I had to share.
1. One of my favourite Irish e-stores, Mabel & Violet, have an entire ‘Made In Ireland’ section which is fantastic. I’m particularly in absolute love with this smoky quartz cocktail ring from Juvi. €89.95
2. Richard Conway pointed me in the direction of Kathy Coleman’s shop on etsy - ‘Girl Can’t Talk’. How much do I need this yellow feathered bib in my life? THIS much. Amazingness. $80.00
3. It wouldn’t be a post on Irish hand-made-edness withouth featuring the craftsmanship from Bonzie. This duo never cease to impress, and their new tiered skirt design is most definitely on my wish list. I would wear it all day long while eating lots of cake and drinking champagne. I’m not sure why I’d feel the need to do those things - it just seems like the proper way to spend the day while wearing tulle. $190.00
Lots more posts on the way..!

A small part of me wants to throw everything out and just dress like this from here on in….

I’ll have more thoughts on the clothes as we get closer to the weekend, but for now, I’m thinking plaits or twisted dreads, 70’s, wedges (yes, I know, but I’m doing it..!) fringing, velour, clear sunglasses, blonde, blonde hair, hats, men’s grey hoodies with the arms cut off, looking generally shady and happy and having fun thoughts in a magical make believe place. *sigh* I love Electric Picnic. it’s insane. In a good way.
The girl in the last photo….I love her hair and glasses. Not sure the outfit would go down so well at EP.

I like the scribbles, the font and the look, the posters, the cross.
The cross could potentially become a wet afternoon’s project.

My new favourite silhouette. Short but with volume. Tight waist. Covered shoulders.

Not sure how demented it will look but sure, why not! I wish Jessica Simpson’s ridiculously high shoes above were available internationally though. When I tried to say this to Laura earlier, I accidently said ‘I wish Jessica would deliver her shoes internationally.’ I know a couple of gentlemen who would order continuously if that was actually the case.

I know an Erin Wasson post is pretty standard every now and again on a sometime-fashion blog, but I am just ever so slightly in love with these three looks I found while trawling around the internet. Every time I try to step away from black, it just lures me back in…

I know every fashion blogger in the entire world has probably posted these images of Givenchy with text along the lines of ‘my future wedding dress’…allow me to go one step further and say I refuse to get married in anything less than a somewhat decent knock-off of one of these dresses. Let’s be honest, even if I ever had that many millions, I still don’t think I could stand by spending haute couture shaped monies on anything.

This round-up is inspired by a new style direction I’ve been thinking about - a little bit softer, a tiny bit more colour, more of the jewellery, a return to bag carrying, but basically just coming to terms with the fact that I’m scruffy and no amount of polishing me up will make me look like a pretty girl.
I spent much of my resting time wandering aimlessly around the interweb, right clicking and so forth. Usually I always have links back to the owner of images I use, but on the next couple of posts, I am as bewildered as you as to where they came from…if you know or are the owner please let me know and I’ll add the link stat!

How is this for amazing? I’ve always secretly longed to be a bit of a wilderness urchin, living in a tent, not bothering with the washing or the makeup. I have now realised such a life would be inimitably better in haute couture and duvets tied to my dirty self. While being photographed by Steven Meisel. For Vogue. Yes - I’ll take it.

Ah, Summer in Ireland, when it chooses to behave itself, what more could you ask for from the place you live? Seriously thinking about buying a caravan, and heading off to an Irish beach any weekend that the sun comes out to play. Just a cheap caravan - paint the hell out of it, add some fancy bits, buy a barbecue, throw in some lounge chairs, hitch it all up and hit the road.
