There's Glitter in Your Hair

I was stopped the other day by street style blogger Mark of "There's Glitter in Your Hair". Check out his blog which he's reprised after a short hiatus and which has started to gain deserved traction.

The Style Snip

The Style Snip has rapidly become my favourite street style blog; not least for its unstudied cross-section of unusual fashion subjects from Tokyo, New York, London and Paris. This image entitled 'On the Street in Soho, New York' would not have been out of place in Dublin this 'summer'. Cue internal monologue: "Do I bring an umbrella?"; "Do I wear a bikini top?"; "Perhaps I should bring a coat just in case..." Inspired.

A special shout out to David at Slashstroke Magazine whose created these electric illustrations of the Joanne Hynes / Helen Steele AW/11 show. Please do pop by and pay a visit to the blog which also features similar show notes from Irish talent such as Simone Rocha; not to mention some saavy skeletonized street style sketches.

The Fashion Motto - Lovita Graham

I had the pleasure of meeting fashion blogger, writer and photographer Lovita Graham backstage at London Fashion Week. She took some amazing shots of the Joanne Hynes / Helen Steele show and also ran a great Q&A with Joanne too. These shots were taken of me on the cobbles of Somerset House. Not bad considering I hadn't slept for...at that stage...30 hours! I'd like to thank Lovita for featuring me and would urge you to visit her blog The Fashion Motto for a look at fashion's female innovators. A x

Ireland's Most Influential in Fashion 2010

I just received an email from Irish model Faye Dinsmore whose blog Faye is running Ireland's Most Influential in Fashion 2010 awards. "You're on the shortlist," informed the e-missive of my nomination for Ireland's Top Fashion Blogger. "How sweet!" I thought. I've since taken a look at the rather stellar award categories which boast all sorts of categories from Top Editor to Photographer and Magazine. It's a really positive idea given the 'Ho-hum. Life sucks. We have no money,' climate at the moment. Log onto her site Faye and vote for your favourite fashion influences. While you're there, take a stroll around her blog entries that detail the everyday happenings in the life of one of our own homegrown fashion exports.

Stitches | Fabric | and Soul

Dame Street isn't my favourite place to catch a bus. Frequently when waiting for the 19a, I get hit on, yelled at or crushed by a bottleneck of people trying to squeeze through the small thoroughfare. When a boy called Stephen Moloney stopped me yesterday to take my likeness for his street style blog, I was pleased, flattered and dare I say....relieved. I'd like to say a big thanks for his flattering words and encourage you to visit his blog Stitches | Fabric | and Soul.

Face Hunter does Dublin

Swiss street style blogger Yvan Rodic - a.k.a. Face Hunter - hits Dublin next week to join the Nokia Young Designer of the Year judging panel and to sign copies of his new book. If eye candy is what you crave, you'll be in diabetic shock after feasting your clappers on over 300 images from one of the net's nattiest blogs. Be sure to get your signed copy of Face Hunter at Noble & Beggarman Books, South William Street, Dublin on Thursday 25th March 6-8pm.

I Blog Fashion and The Style Scout

It was the last day of LFW. Suffice to say I was knackered (see: coffee cup). Sore feet, back-to-back deadlines and a runny eye from the cold made me look a bit wilted. Despite this, a lovely man known as The Style Scout kindly asked if could he take my pic for his blog. He liked my rockabilly hair. I liked the fact he didn't notice said wilting. For the record I'm wearing an Oasis biker jacket, Italian cashmere scarf, Armand Basi One genie pants, Vivienne Westwood bowling bag, D.I.Y cut-off gloves and ribbon brogues - both from Topshop; rings from A|wear and H&M and Ellenet hairspray. Sleepy stare - model's own.

Image compliments of The Style Scout. Thanks Mr. Scout. x

Swagger: New York

Mesdames et Messieurs. La mode de la rue va retourner à New York. Yep, Swagger: Paris is moving back to goold 'ole NYC where its unique street style blog began. Expect fly fashion from Brooklyn to the Bronx and everywhere in between. Fear not - the City of Lights will still have its Swagger paps; just with some added edge from its American cousins. Click here to get your swagger on!

GranPaparazzi

O.K. It's late. I'm supposed to be on a deadline but I got sidetracked by this bitchin' blog. GranPaparazzi takes fashion photo journalism from the rarified (albeit glorious) world of Garace Dore and The Sartorialist to the lesser seen Golden Years. Apart from being a salute to a much neglected demographic, the blog cleverly showcases the cyclical nature of fashion. Sooooo needed! I'm telling you, everytime I hop on the 19A, I get totally outshone by the old dears on their way into town. Turbans, brooches, lippie, vintage bags - they kill it hands down. And they get the good seats! Damn!

Refinery29

I Blog's latest online love has to be Refinery29. The indie international fashion mag is more than just a slice-of-sartorial-life; it's pure zeitgeist. Crushes include the ticker headlines - "Rad or bad? a shredded fave makes a comeback"; daily eBay obsesh - vintage denim dresses anyone?; and philosophical Tweets - "In the beautiful people party gift bag: (what else?) a tshirt that says 'I am a beautiful person.' should we wear this shirt? 3 days ago . The one place you can while away four hours and still be 'in the moment'. Who else can say that?
