Trends to watch out for at this event are seventies inspired shift dresses, short jackets and stylish scarfs.

Mary McKeown was on Grafton street when I took this pic. The fingerless gloves, red scarf and green boots make a street-chic outfit, perfect for chilly, windy days in Dublin

This is my first ‘proper’ blog (Bebo rantathons not counting) and it is solely dedicated to my joie de vivre: Fashion. Fashion blogging has taken off and gone through the roof, but in Ireland, there still isn’t much going on in the fashion blogosphere [save a few websites set up by some cool ladies: http://styletreaty.com (website/blog on a mix of lifestyle and shopping in Limerick, Ireland) www.beaut.ie (website/blog on beauty) http://misslili.blogspot.com(professional fashion photography) and a few others]

So I’ve decided to take a stand and stand up for the fashionable people of Ireland. Yes, it needs to be seen to be believed, so I’ll be hunting down the fashionistas, the Oh-I-Just-Threw-this-old-rag-ons, the serious trend followers, the trend buckers, and all the poor, unsuspecting folk on the street that I’ll be chasing after, with my camera swinging from my neck.

So I guess this is Ireland’s first ever street-style blog (with trend watching, and style gazing thrown in for good measure) A few of my friends will be joining the blog soon, so will keep you posted!

Enjoy….
