Man Monday: Thirfty finds in Beacon’s Closet, Williamsburg, New York
Today, returning from a trip to America’s empire state, I was welcomed back by Ireland’s rainy embrace.
While I was on the other side of the pond, I stumbled across some incredible stores finding loads of bargains along the way.
I was particularly impressed with Beacon’s Closet nestled in Brooklyn’s trendy Williamsburg.
The store stocks an extensive collection of vintage clothing and accessories, from bags to shirts and
Fashion Friday: Animal Magnetism
As the new season bites leopard print will be pouncing down the runway and directly into your wardrobe. Designers and retailers cannot get enough of this print so there’s no time like the present to start channelling your inner feline.
What’s so great about this season’s fetish for all things leopard related is that it can be worn in a variety of ways. A faux-fur leopard
Man Monday: Cotton Love on eBay
Last week I was feeling the nautical summer trend that is boat shoes – but now I’m prepping for the winter with thrifty eBay menswear.
Vintage clothes aren’t an exclusively female trend and with shops like Wild Child, guys are spoilt for choice when it comes to cheap and unique vintage pieces.
One of my favourite online haunts for vintage menswear is an eBay store called Cotton
Naoimh dresses up at A Wear for the Prudence Best Buy Beauty Awards
The Prudence Best Buy Beauty Awards are taking place tonight in the Gibson Hotel and because I’ve been so busy over the last few weeks, this event has snuck up on me and once again I’m left struggling with what to wear.
My go-to, get-out-of-jail card is always a floral dress. So I rushed down to Awear on my lunch break yesterday and picked up this
Mean Maureen bags some sartorial sale bargains
As the very proud granny of seven little ones, six of whom love fashion (at three weeks, the baby hasn’t gotten into it yet), I’m always on the lookout for dresses, skirts, shorts, tops and coats that make up an inevitable part of their birthday and Christmas presents and which at full price would be ruinous to my bank balance.
I’ve been very lucky with the
Man Monday: Ahoy Matey! How to do boat shoes on the cheap
Last week I went preppy with braces and glasses. This week I’m grasping on to what’s left of the summer with boat shoes.
Often a divisive trend, boat shoes can conjure up images of uncool fathers in chinos and posh schoolgirls. However, if done right, boat shoes can add a bit of subtle summer chic to your wardrobe.
I got my navy boat shoes in a shop
Fashion Friday: Prudence interns get creative with fashion samples from Awear, Penneys and Heatons
Our Prudence interns helped pack up the clothes used on the fashion shoot for the next issue. But before the samples went back Sarah, Jimmy, Dee and Natalia had fun styling their favourite pieces into outfits. Their efforts were so good we just had to take a picture.
They remind me of the cool gang in Eighties movies St Elmo’s Fire and The Breakfast Club. Our
Trend spotting at the Fringe Festival launch in association with Absolut Vodka
I went along to the launch of Dublin’s Fringe Festival on Monday evening with my very talented photographer friend Emma who takes the style-stalker pics for our Prudent People feature.
I’m wearing a H&M dress I bought when I visited Copenhagen, I get so much wear out of it that it’s the perfect buy.
I love Emma’s combination of bright red lippy, vintage scarf, floral blazer and
Man Monday: Jimmy goes for a preppy look with braces
Welcome to our first Man Monday where each week I’ll be blogging about all the latest and greatest frugal, fashion finds for Irish guys.
These days, men are just as image conscious as the fairer sex … so if you’re a guy who loves having a sneaky read of your girlfriend’s fashion mags, or you’re a girl who desperately wants to update your boyfriend’s naff wardrobe
Dunnes comes up trumps with bargain shoes – from the kids department!
By intern Oonagh O'Mahony
When I was a child I know for a fact that the clothes I wore were nowhere near as fashionable as children’s clothes are today. More and more kid’s clothes look like something you might see in any high-street shop - and more and more I hear myself saying ‘does that come in my size?’ Turns out it does.
At 5’8 I would
