Wave goodbye to a short-lived Indian summer, autumn has officially arrived. It’s time to begin the countdown to snow-days and eating advent chocolate for breakfast (hooray!). This year, however, it seems that simply digging out last year’s Christmas sweater won’t cut it in comparison to a new and rather racy autumnal tradition...

Lately, I’ve started feeling old. It’s been little things. Like. I can’t seem to stay up as late as I used to on a week night. I used to stay up until 3am and roll out of bed the next morning and go to work without a problem. Now, if I get less than 7 hours of sleep per night my head feels like it’s been replaced by cotton candy and I can barely string together a coherent email.

There’s a lot of hate for Urban Outfitters out there at the moment. Mainly surrounding their wrongful appropriation of the Navajo name and designs “inspired” by traditional Navajo crafts.I get it, especially when considering that using the name Navajo to sell tacky pants is p...

Fall is upon us. I am changing out my wardrobe faster than the temperature can drop, though. I thought I was safely into wool sweater weather, until this week, when the weather in New York turned offensively balmy. Unsure of when I can wear a coat without looking alarmist, and unsure of how many layers I can wear without looking homeless, one of my favorite fall fashions flies to the rescue: the Cape!

One of the big trends this season is “Navajo”. From what I’ve seen of this trend, it’s a neon-coloured bastardization of all things Native American. I mean, I may not be an expert, but I’m pretty sure actual Navajos didn’t run around with purple feathers in "messy buns" whilst wearing a pink bathrobe. But, like I said, I'm not an expert...

It’s only natural to assume that I didn’t pick up my dress from the same place I bought my roast chicken. I’ve never understood the concept of supermarket fashion until I recently attended a press viewing of the Christmas AW11 collection from Tu at Sainsbury.

There are lot of terms in fashion that drive me nuts. “Bang on trend” is one. “Fierce”, when talking about a model, is another. Most of them are uttered on reality TV by people who want to bleach your eyebrows, smother you in fake tan, stick you in a Spanx unitard and have the dry skin on your feet eaten off by starved fish, claiming it makes you look 37 years younger. Or something.

I never thought I would be one of those women.You know the type, those who are always chirping on about how much they love embarrassingly large knickers. Those who are so proud that their pants could comfortably house a family of five.But here I am. I confess it. I love huge knickers.

If you are of the fashion persuasion you will undoubtedly know that all things are go in the chicest city of them all, Paris. Ah Non? Well, let me fill you in. Unfortunately, I am not reporting from the front line of fashion this week, my Chanel invite must have got lost in the post. But hell, who needs to be there when you can follow Anna Dello Russo on Twitter? Her fashion musings, not to mentioned avant garde ensembles (last year she worn an apple on her head!) are enough to get you...

If you live in the west of Ireland, you discover quickly why hats are a better idea than brollies; the gales in Galway are powerful! Most blustery days the wreckage of ruined umbrellas becomes a common sight. My visitors last weekend discovered this quickly, one of whom used our lazy morning to buy a nice new hat.
