Pop-up culture

The Louise Kennedy pop up boutique opens in Brown Thomas Cork next Wednesday, October 6th until the following Wednesday, October 13th. At €695, the 'Penny' dress in black jersey (with black velvet bow!) ain't cheap, but a clever fashionista will happily endure many a Friday night in front of the Late Late Show in return for a little piece of sartorial heaven. As for the 'Clara' in forest green lace... we can but dream.

Enchanted forest...

The gals at Amity on French Church St., Cork headed into the great outdoors for a shoot with Ivan Begala earlier this week. If only this dotty dress (€58) and these wooden heels (€68) were as practical for a stroll in the forest as they look...

Our friends at H&A Marketing just sent us the biggest box of (custom-made Cork News!) cupcakes we've ever seen, hand delivered by the truly fabulous Trish from A Touch of Magic. Trish knew she was in the right career when she started to receive post addressed to 'The Cake Lady, Carrigaline'- you've never tasted anything like her light-as-a-feather, pastel frosted miniature works of art.

It's a tie

We love these lace-up platforms, €60 from Next, Opera Lane and Mahon Point - pair with thick socks to the calf or knee in a neutral colour (we've been stocking up at TK Maxx).
