Freshers Week - Food glorious food

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

Take it from someone who knows, it is soooo easy to put on weight during those college years. I’m not suggesting that you diet your way through college but it is important that students keep themselves as healthy as possible, this will benefit you come exam time when you are under pressure. The food that [...]

Freshers Week - more bags

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

Earlier on this week, I recommended some bags that I thought would be great for college. The bags I featured are very practical because although Jansport are not cheap, they last a lifetime. If I’m honest, when I was in college I didn’t have the money, the time or the interest in matching my bag [...]

Freshers Week - Shoes

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

I love heels, I wear them most days, but my obsession with high heels only started in recent times. While I was a student I thought heels were the enemy, they meant blisters and pain. I had a fifteen minute walk to college as well as walking between lectures, so flats were a [...]

Freshers Week - Bags

Monday, August 28th, 2006

Limerick has a huge student population and as a former student I think it would be a good idea to do some features on student fashion (or lack thereof). Coming into the winter here in Limerick can mean cold and rain. When you are walking into college each day braving the elements, fashion can sometimes [...]

One of my Favourite Outfits

Friday, August 25th, 2006

One of the websites that I check out every day is The Fashionable Housewife. Sarah posts about affordable fashion for busy women, whether that be in the home or outside it, or both!! My favourite feature is “Today’s Outfit”, like the rest of us Sarah doesn’t have unlimited resources so she mixes and matches the [...]

Caroline Leahy Causeway

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

I mentioned Caroline Leahy in a previous post; she is a knitwear designer from Causeway, Co. Kerry. She focuses on crocheted evening and bridal wear. Her signature pieces are handpainted or hand dyed skirts or dresses made of silk, covered in hand crocheted pieces. She loves rich colours but she makes to [...]

Speaking of Kerry

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

I used to love to watch the Rose of Tralee when I was younger, I’d pick out the dress that I liked the most and fantasize about having it as a debs dress. I was a bit disappointed last night as many of the dresses were quite similar in style, strapless fitted top with a [...]

Kerry Style

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

I attended the Rose of Tralee Fashion Show on Sunday 20th August. I have to say that I have never seen so much style under one roof, and I’m not even referring to the catwalk!!! All the ladies (and a few gentlemen) had gone to so much effort. Outfits varied from very [...]

Dieters…do not read this post!!!

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

Style Treaty attended a wedding at the Two-Mile Inn on Friday (that’s why there was no post!) I just had to post about the Chocolate Fountain that was laid on at the reception. It was the first time I’d seen one in the flesh and I have to say I wasn’t disappointed. The chocolate used [...]
