Sorry, sorry, sorry, but you guys know I very rarely do this!
I was just a bit short on time these last few days and didn’t get a chance to write a proper post for today.
Do accept my apologies and I promise to do better tomorrow.
Now please enjoy this editorial I loved from Vogue Russia’s March issue.
I’m a sucker for courtroom dramas…

Even though buying brand new clothes is currently out of the question, I don’t see why my budget can’t stretch to a couple of accessories to jazz up my old outfits…

—->First of all, congratulations to everyone who was nominated (or nominated themselves) for the Irish Blog Awards 2011.
The whole process is a nice chance for bloggers to feel good about themselves and be recognised for their hard work and commitment during year.
Oh and for the people who posted, like, three times during the last twelve months to also get a nod.
We’re very inclusive on this wee island.
Ah sure ye gave it a go, well done you!
I’ve really enjoyed the 5million tweets and Facebook status updates from the genuinely excited, and of course, from the people that just wanted to tell the world about how many times they were nominated.
Gotta love the few “Oh my God I’m so shocked that I just have to tell everyone, not because I want more praise and attention, but because I’m too surprised to process this information by myself” fake modesty bits.
Lol sorry, I’m in quite a bitchy, cynical mood this morning.
I’m having a Taylor Swift moment.
Twas just one of those weekends.
Bad mood aside, I was genuinely thrilled to see so many great blogs get recognition and hopefully they’ll do really well in their categories!
Shout out to White Rabbit for her 300 nominations -WELL deserved!
Also it was shocking - and a little terrifying - to see just how many Irish blogs there are out there!
There were so many sites nominated in my own categories that I’d never heard of!!
I’m really not expecting to get as far as I did last year as there’s a much higher standard this time round.
Damn talented, time-having awesome writers.
*shakes fist*
A Chick Named Hermia was nominated in the Best Lifestyle, Best Photo, Best Personal and - to my delight – Best Humour categories.
I’m funny y’all!
*prepares several ‘Knock Knock’ jokes for upcoming posts*
The site also has three posts nominated in the Best Post Category.
*girlish squeal*
Thanks a bazillion to whoever nominated me.
I knew from a couple of readers telling me that I’d get a nomination in at least one category, but I wasn’t expecting so many shout outs.
It’s heart-warming to know there are so many people willing to take the time to fill out those awkward nomination forms out of love for me.
(HATED that ‘Give a Reason’ part…I’m pretty sure I just put ‘Because’ for one of them).
I love and adore my readers tonnes and tonnes.
*hugs*
—–> Second topic is directed at everyone who said The Boy was trying to throw me off the scent of a wonderful surprise or would pull through at the last minute.
You guys gave me hope.
And that was cruel.
Because as I knew in my heart when I wrote the last post, he had no plans and there would be no attempts to make things better.
I hate Valentine’s Day.
And cute puppies.
*begins an angry rampage of destroying all Valentine’s Decorations, Presents and Couples*
(I do appreciate everyone’s support though…you guys rock!)
—–> Finally, I forgot to tell you last week that my What I’m Wearing Today video went up on RTE’s Red Radar site.
Please enjoy the painfully awkward moment right at the end, as well as the erratic hand gestures.
(also my face isn’t usually that strange pink colour…I had whore make-up put on me).

…I would be buying everything in Topshop right now.
I’ve always been a shirt ‘n’ blouse kinda girl, but it’s only in recent seasons that shops have given me the variety to make the look more individual.
Not to mention my delight at the recent influx of bow ties!
High street stores like Topshop and Urban Outfitters have been refreshingly creative with their shirt collections, bringing the classic vintage vibes, which is just perfect for someone like me.
Now if only I had the money to take advantage….

…please can you give me the following:
*sigh*
For the first time, this recession business is getting to me.
A positive attitude is difficult when you worship and adore clothes and then realise you have no money for any of the beautiful pieces you see in the new collections.
Yes I know.
Perspective.
But still….

Here’s someone I discovered a couple of months ago.
Sian from Blondorexic is a breath of fresh air, displaying inspirational outfits through professional-looking home photos.
I would kill to have her wardrobe and natural creativity!!!
Sure, she keeps ending up in my Spam folder when she comments on my blog because ‘-orexic’ is in her title, but she’s definitely worth following.
Plus, her hair is absolutely amazing!
EDIT: Please note that since this was published, Sian has changed her blog and URL name to Avant Style. Click HERE for the link.

1. A Burberry Trench
2. A Chloe crepe silk-satin blouse
3. Some feminine boyfriend tailoring, also from Chloe
4+5. Chanel can provide screen-siren red lipstick and a vintage handbag
6. Then off to Hermes for a silk scarf
7. And top it all off, some flamboyant faux-ostrich leather pumps from Marc Jacobs…
Ah yes, some beautiful dreams indeed.
