TRIPPIN' OUT



I was styling a photoshoot the other week to advertise the iPhone app for our music festival, Oxegen. Snapping away some test shots to see JUST how much jewellery I can fit on a model before she passes out, I captured this dreamy, trippy shot which really embodies the festival wild-child look I was going for.


Of course, in the end, she had to hold a giant iPhone - but I'm still pleased as punch I managed to get in that Axl-Rose-referencing headscarf!


Vintage clip-on earrings. A recent find in Blackrock Market, my favourite place to find shiny things that I don't need, but love all the more for that very reason.

CAN'T SEE // DOESN'T MATTER




Sometimes I like to pop over to Stylelikeu and meet someone I've never met before. This is Kristin Gallegos, she's a make-up artist, and she has bangs to die for.

And a bag to go with that Kimono?
How am I supposed to stop thinking about this betassled, be-beaded beauty? Way to ruin my weekend - not cool ASOS Marketplace, not cool.

HIATUS





Okay Weberinos! It's been a while. More than a while. I had to take a brief hiatus to knuckle down to some serious work - there's been long hours, frayed nerves, dark circles under eyes, but I'M BACK! And what have I been thinking about in the meantime? RINGS, RINGS, RINGS! No change there. Big ones, bunches of little ones, all of them at the same time; stacked, choking every last drop of blood from your fingers. I have got to get me a set of those 5 simple bands that sit on each finger. Any idea where?

FINISH





I usually find the attention to detail and luxury finish of Luxirare products mind-boggling, but once again the girl has surpassed herself. These mini-vests are lovingly crafted out of leather, designed to carry a girls necessaries - lipstick, phone, cash... and they are nothing short of perfection.

ETERNAL SWIPE





Whenever I'm really bored or I need to pass a few minutes my swipe finger automatically goes to Chicfeed on my iPhone. Its an oft-updated app that selects the best shots from The Sartorialist, Facehunter, Jak & Jil, Lookbook & Altamira - simple, but it passes any wait-in-line or ad-break pretty quicksmart!

STATEMENT JEWELLERY

A few days ago I went to an Exhibition about the Egyptian King Tutankhamun's Tomb and Treasures in Dublin. I was struck by the incredibly intricate jewellery this teenage king was buried with - several ornate filigree pectorals around his mummified neck and nearly 150 protective amulets, necklaces, rings and artifacts, all made of gold and semi-precious stones. This Egyptian caught on to the Statement Necklace trend nearly 3000 years before the rest of us! You can see in the third and fourth pictures, Vultures were a predominant theme, this is because they were the symbol of the Protector of Pharaoh, the Goddess of the Heavens, Nekhbet.





His tomb is also protected by some pretty hot ladies - like this confusing-booby-lion-Goddess Sekhmet, and the Goddess Isis wearing the most fabulous asymmetrical pleated maxi dress - trend much Ancient Egypt?!

TRESS ENVY

Pretty soon Rumi's hair will have its own blog, 8 page spread in Vogue Paris and probably a signature scent, it's that amazing.
