Scrapbook

This weekend for me is about work (and a bit of play) so while I'm working away, here are some pictures that you may have seen before , some that you may have missed and some that didn't make the cut (but are still close to my heart). Enjoy!             … Continue reading Scrapbook

Apple and raisin sponge

It's a bright crisp day here, my favourite kind of day in autumn. With a chill in the air there is only one way to warm the house (and fill my belly); baking! My apron is on, I've scoured the cupboards for inspiration and today I'm making apple sponge. Food should not only taste good but also look good, however … Continue reading Apple and raisin sponge

The world of skincare

The world of skincare according to lovetomtom Since the recent additions to my wardrobe (see 'My kind of luxury') I've had nothing but luxury on the brian.  Makeup and more recently skincare falls into that catergory and to tell you the truth I didn't always see it that way. The world of skincare can at times be daunting. … Continue reading The world of skincare

My kind of luxury

The past week or so I've added two very special pieces to my wardrobe. Pieces that to me are pure luxury. Luxury, like jewels (see How do you wear yours?) doesn't necessarily imply wealth or richness. I like to think of it more as an indulgence in some way and these are my indulgence! When I saw … Continue reading My kind of luxury

Boooo to winter!

You guessed it, I'm not a fan of winter so before the dark days seep into my skin I thought I would share some of my winter favourites. For those of you on the other side of the world enjoying blue skies and long days, spare a thought for those trying to stay warm by a fire with … Continue reading Boooo to winter!

Is it really that bad?

Yes is the answer to that question, it is that bad! I am speaking of my bathroom. The most detested room of my house. It has taken me almost 3 years to find a way to make it, well less ugly and still to this day I'm not sure I've succeeded. As I rent I am limited … Continue reading Is it really that bad?

What! You want to take my picture?

  My trip to New York is seeming more a distant memory rather than a recent adventure but thankfully I have enough inspiration and goodies to keep me going. This has sparked my next project. I'm hitting the streets of Dublin and looking for inspiration a little closer to home. So if you me see don't … Continue reading What! You want to take my picture?

Cardigan is the new dress

As I sit at home with just memories from my travels, yes poor me, I can at least fill my wardrobe with some New York inspiration. At first you may think 'huh it's nothing special' but just wait for the endless combinations! This over sized cardigan or some might even say dress, has a little extra something with the use … Continue reading Cardigan is the new dress

New York, Baby!

"New York is like meeting someone famous just a million times more full on" Anonymous New York, what a city! It was my first visit and I had such high expectation with years and years of seeing New York as a star in its own right and only dreaming of what it would be like to be … Continue reading New York, Baby!

Does my head look big in this?

It has to be said I envy people who zip around so effortlessly on a bike looking composed and human-like! Even with all the right tools at hand, a fabulous blue and white bike, red polka dot bell, wicker basket and a sleek white helmet, I can still manage to fall off without even being in motion! Nerves aside, … Continue reading Does my head look big in this?
