I first met the team behind SORU when we bought a stroller for our son Tommy back in winter 2023. It was a few weeks before his due date and it was such an exciting milestone. Walking out of the store … [Read More...] about SORU: a business built on family passion
The heart of darkness
I came across this exhibition by chance. I hadn’t thought much about the Congo since studying its complex and violent history during my Masters in International Security and Conflict Studies in DCU. It made me a bit sad to think how such atrocities from our recent past go almost unnoticed unless we educate or stumble […]
All aboard..
London St. Pancras easily tops my list of favourite train stations in London. I never took the time to look at it before. I was usually flying through in a rush to get somewhere, but since starting my course at CSM at Granary Square, I’ve had lots of trips back and forth to take in […]
Going behind the scenes
Part of my current role in copywriting and working with a design team to produce a range of adverts and exhibition materials. Most of the time, all I get to see at the end of a job is a high resolution PDF or a print out. It’s often weeks or sometimes months after an overseas […]
Did that really just happen?
I met Paul Smith today. It was one of those ‘wow’ moments that I know that I’m going to treasure forever. It was a brilliant day from the beginning, an inspiring morning having a lecture about cool hunting, pouring over trend books and chatting before heading to Mayfair to explore high-end fashion. The Paul Smith […]
Make sure you eat your carrots!
The Barbican Centre is a must do. Conor, my old flatmate had spent an afternoon there and his rave reviews made me plan a trip ASAP. I had a quick scan in the website and within minutes saw an interesting exhibition called United Visual Artists: Momentum. It’s in the Curve, a 90-metre promenade and one […]
These are a few of my favourite things
Fortnum & Mason 40% orange, 70% cocoa, a steaming mug of tea and ACNE PAPER.
Pros of cons
I love converse. I spotted a leopard print, limited edition pair in Office last week. They would be perfect with slouchy turned up boyfriend jeans or leather skirt, dark tights and soft mohair jumper with junky gold chains. Right, well I know what I’m up to on my lunch break tomorrow!
Oh what a view
I thought I would share a shot that I took while enjoying one of my favourite pastimes in London — chilled out, happy wandering. The French word describes it perfectly, fláneur…to saunter around observing society, an idler, a loafer. I’m a Dubliner through and through but when you don’t have the Ha’penny Bridge handy, this view towards […]
It’s raining dogs and dogs
Boy did it rain yesterday! While these poor little doggies waited for their owners, I had to stop and take a picture. The owners, I might add were tucking into delicious food in the tea rooms at Kenwood House in Hampstead. I wolfed down pea soup and a what can only be described as half […]
I’m going to need more walls
For some people it’s high heels, others it’s handbags, scarves or books. What’s my guilty pleasure? Gorgeous prints. I can’t pass a shop or stall without feeling a magnetic pull to have a quick squiz! I found this foxy lady in a tiny treasure trove shop down a winding street in Amsterdam. It reminds me […]
