Normal service will resume shortly

My apologies for the lack of updates as my moments of inspiration seemed few and far between recently. Stay tuned for updates on NARS Sheer Glow and Sheer Matte foundations (courtesy of the wonder that was the 1st anniversary Fashion Bloggers' Brunch goodie bag), Armani's Manta Ray collection (or the best parts of it) and RMK's Autumn Mystique look.

The September Issue - 1 month, 1 day and counting

You know The Devil Wears Prada is going to pale into insignificance when this comes out... I AM SO EXCITED!!!

Camper A/W 09/10

I have become slightly obsessed with these lovely boots from Camper's new Autumn/Winter collection. In reality I'm not sure how well they'd suit all but the most gazelle-legged among us, but until I try them on and rule them out, I'll continue to dream.

Duvet days

On a day like today, when I look out the window and see rain, rain and more rain, there is nothing I'd like more than spending the day on the couch watching Gossip Girl DVDs, snuggled under my Blankie. The cosiest, comfiest and cutest mini-duvet you've ever seen, the Blankie comes in a variety of colour combos, though the Hot Chocolate number pictured above is my favourite.

Measuring 105x152cms, the Blankie is filled with a mix of down and feathers and comes packed in its own drawstring bag for convenience. Check the website above for a list of stockists, both online and offline.

Shades of grey: Burberry Prorsum A/W 09

As the concept of Summer seems somewhat faded and distant at present, my mind has turned to Autumn/Winter fashion. I have a shameful backlog of fashion magazines waiting on my coffee table to be read, but the catwalk supplements delivered with this month's new issues have jumped to the head of the queue. And so I have decided that in fantasy land I will be dressing exclusively in Burberry Prorsum this Autumn/Winter. Imagine how easy it would be to get dressed in the morning with these hanging in your wardrobe?

Time for a new T?

Everyone's favourite t-shirt people Turtlehead have just launched three new Irish t-shirts, featuring everyone's favourite b-words (that's Biffo and Bono, just to be clear). Expect Enda and Eamon to turn up wearing this fine design on the last day of school, I mean Dáil:



As for me, I'm rather liking this one and with the weather we've been having, it must be time for a new t-shirt:

All in the detail

In Paris last month I discovered the wonderful world of COS. At a mere fiver, I couldn't leave this padded rosette behind. I love the graffiti print fabric and the colours are perfect with the grey jackets I've made a habit of buying lately.



The little fabric bag they slipped it into at the till was just the icing on the cake.
