I’ve always loved fashion. When I lived in NY I lived for fashion shows, vogue magazine & working as the Marc by Marc Jacobs store ambassador in Nieman Marcus. Now, as a stay at home mom of 3 young kiddies in the West of Ireland, my day to day fashion had slacked. I turned to comfy clothes for my days at home & stopped feeling good about how I look. Happily, I’ve recently updated my wardrobe & have reignited my love for fashion. I like to share my personal style, reviews & fashion events. I hope you enjoy my fashionable posts. x
