Strange but great - by Margaret

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

My better half is a weird and wonderful man. Knowing my habit of stealing his pen-knife when I need to do something and don’t feel like getting the correct implement (eg cutting my nails, slicing paper, cutting off a hanging thread… you get the gist), he bought me my own, teeny, hot-pink Swiss Army Knife. [...]

All these Highs and Lows

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

If you are thinking of holidaying in Ireland this year, I can’t recommend the Dingle Peninsula enough. Even if scenery isn’t your thing then it’s worth heading down there for the shopping. Maybe it’s the beauty of the local area but the whole place seems to be spilling over with creativity, and not [...]

Packing by Margaret

Friday, September 21st, 2007

I have clothes; Maz has outfits. Guess who has the easier life when it comes to packing? Anyway, I’m off to Italy next week, and in order to prevent bringing a suitcase you could fit the kitchen sink in, I’m bringing a small pull-along case, of the size that used to be valid for carry-on.
I’m [...]

Travel 2007 by Margaret

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

One of the first articles way back in the beginning of StyleTreaty was on packing for a trip abroad. Since then, new regulations have been imposed as regards what you may and may not have in your carry on luggage. I’m going to assume that everyone has finessed the clothing and shoes aspect of packing [...]

Travel in Style III

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

How many times have you almost grabbed the wrong black suitcase (possibly free with tokens) from the carousel after arriving at your holiday destination.  Luggage has become so generic that we’ve resorted to attaching bits of ribbon onto our cases in vain attempts to recognise them as they chug around that conveyor belt!!   Even if [...]

Travel in Style II

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

Just to add to Mary T’s post yesterday, I spotted this lovely set on the Next website, these look very elegant although a little more expensive than the Dunnes one (and probably more difficult to keep clean) 

Thse are 100% leather,  the vanity case is €60, the make-up bag is €23, the passport holder is €27 snf [...]

Travel in Style with Mary T

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

Usually when I go away anywhere I have all my travel details (flight print off, hotel booking, directions, passport, car rental details etc.) in a big envelope inside my hand bag. Not the most stylish look! So I’ve been on the look out for some time now for a big wallet or small clutch bag [...]

Shopping in Madrid

Monday, April 2nd, 2007

Myself and my better half took ourselves off to Madrid for a few days last week thanks to a cheapy Ryanair deal. I’ve been trying to find the perfect jeans for the past few months, an impossible task and after about an hour in the city I had spotted about 50 women poured into perfectly fitted [...]
