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
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
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
Naoimh finds lots of things to covet at Covet!
Getting invited to visit Covet and preview its sale before Saturday was like being sprinkled by my own fashion fairy godmother.
Stepping inside this beautiful boutique I felt like I’d been transported back in time to a chic Parisian boudoir in the 1920s - hence the black and white vintage style photo.
I immediately spotted these gorgeous sparkly Miu Miu sandals with plush velvet bows. Now if
Prudence interns grab prizes at a West Coast Cooler fashion quiz
Last Tuesday our Prudence interns competed against teams of stylists, journalists and Irish fashion industry experts to pit their style knowledge against each other...all in an effort to win diamanté tiaras and the coveted title of "Style Queens".
Our team called "Gok and the Wans" - Deirdre, Natalia, Jimmy and Dee achieved a respectable fourth place each winning goodie bags and a Sex and The City
Naoimh has love for Fash Mob at the Irish Times
French Connection floral dress, in stores now
Reading Rosemary MacCabe’s blog Fash Mob recently there was an interesting post. If you haven’t checked it out yet, then I highly recommend it for her witty, intelligent and informed take on the fashion industry here and abroad.
Anyway, she’d been left a comment debating her ability to make such fashion observations since she - by her own admission -
