I've been thinking...
I’ve been thinking for a while about what would be the subject of my next blog, for some reason I keep coming back to choices people make. You know those serious life altering choices….do I take that new job? Would moving be city be a wise idea? Should I have dessert? Is it about time I just admitted defeat and bought a pair of skinny jeans? Its excessively cold but do I stick with my...

Dubarry boots
Yesterdays recommendation from the amazing Fantastic Man blog, which has great and individual recommendations everyday.
In this inclement weather however, these boots are a genius buy. Not only do they look great but they are completely waterproof and will last years. Having grown up sailing in Ireland, and being mates with Ross O’Carroll Kelly loike (90s Dublin School in joke) Dubarry...

Winter Blues

The sun may be shining today on a gorgeous winter morning, lets not kid ourselves, in a matter of weeks the weather will indeed be miserable.

Tom Ford Sacrilege
Right a bit of homo fashion sacrilege here…be warned you may not like what you’re about to read. Given the choice of how to spend £3000 on a suit I probably in all honestly would not fork out for a Tom Ford suit.
WTF!!! I hear you say….you wouldn’t be legging it straight to Harrods, grabbing an outlandishly checked suit with vastly huge peaked lapels and dancing to the...

Civil Partnership in Ireland
@AttitudeMag:
The Civil Partnership Debate is taking place in Dail Eireann today #cpbill
Right now when I fly home to Dublin, my husband stops being my next of kin, our valid and loving relationship is rendered null and void in the eyes of the law. Thankfully I have a loving family, that would involve him in any decisions should something happen to me. Others are not that lucky.
Really hope the...

The First Non-White BNP Member
See its not all about Fashion
Honestly you cant make this kind of stuff up! Rajinder Singh is apparently the kind of immigrant you would want if you are going to have them – according to a BNP spokesperson. The genius in this statement is just bowls me over. Mr Singh, whose father was tragically killed by Muslims during the partition of India, is vehemently anti-Islamic. His distrust and fear of...
