i keep you guessing, watch while you come undone

How perfect is this coat by Paul & Joe Sister?



Yum…

Meanwhile I am more than in love with A.P.C’s Fall 09 collection and the lookbook for Play by C. Ronson at Urban Outfitters.

While the latter isn’t very suitable for our damp and dreary weather, add a cardigan or chunky scarf here, some tights there and you’re sorted.











I really really REALLY want these rock chick-like jeans from Topshop… I’ve tried them on and they’re skin tight ankle grazers.



I honestly can’t remember the last time I wore jeans on a night out, but I guarantee I’ll be wearing these the next time I tear up a dancefloor down south. Along with an oversized ripped t-shirt, crazy hair and dark eye makeup.

Or is that too cliché?

Meh!

My obsession with Love Song has now extended to EVERYTHING by Sara Bareilles. It’s not often that I take so well to such a mellow sound.

Gravity and Responsible, both from her debut album Careful Confessions, have been the soundtrack to my day. I’ll be hearing them in my sleep.

Dear American Apparel
Who in their right mind would honestly go to school like this?



Seriously, like!

I have always been as much a fan of Kirsten Dunst’s style as her acting, and this summer is no exception.























*sigh* Oh how I heart her.

I just wish she didn’t smoke.

I like her dress. But I especially like her bag.
Oh Copenhagan…

Listen: Culture Prophet and have a little disco in your bedroom

there’s no one quite like grandma…

Admit it, grannies can be stylish.

And I don’t mean the glamourous ones decked out in their Chanel skirt suits, jewels adorning their bony wrinkled fingers, all perfect hair and strong perfume.

I mean your regular run-of-the-mill granny.

The one you know and love. Whose kitchen table you destroyed with your crayons. Who used to give you bits of dough to play with and warned you not to eat but you did it anyway (and regretted it). Who gave you milky sweet tea in a glass. Who thought you’d choke on boiled sweets so she broke them into little bits with a poker. Who seemed to have an endless supply of toilet roll tubes for you to recreate whatever it was that Mary made on Make-and-Do that day.

THAT granny. Nana in my case.

Damn straight they can be stylish. With their floral skirts and dresses, gigantic cardigans, patterned scarfs, square handbags and treasure trove-like jewellery boxes.

In this summer’s “The Edge of Love” Sienna Miller and Kiera Knightley totally rock the Granny Chic look.







Perfect for late summer/early autumn, before everything starts to get more structured.

today is where your book begins

As my life continues to resemble that of Lauren Conrad (minus the People’s Revolution job and MTV cameras) it’s only right to air my fondness of the girl.







































With her love of Chanel and Marc Jacobs, and her penchant for wearing big sunglasses, black tights, liquid eyeliner and dark nail polish, I think we’d be best friends. I mean, I already know everything about her life.

Ok maybe I’m not blonde, rich or the star of an MTV show but we both have hefty amounts of unwanted drama in our life. Oh and…

Lauren: Whitney, Whitney come here. I met a cute guy, come here. Tell me if you think he’s cute ‘cause I’m drunk.
~Season 3, Episode 1

Lauren: You know why I’m mad. You know what you did!
Season 3, Episode 1

Lauren: You know how like there’s that one person that you always go back to? You’ll date other people, but like you kind of want to run into them when you’re out.
~Season 3, Episode 2

Lauren: And for once, my career and my personal were under control. Why is it that just when you get things together, you hear from the one person who could pull it all apart?
~Season 3, Episode 6

Lauren: He thinks I like him… Seriously, I never wanted to stab myself in the eye more.
~Season 3, Episode 6

and many many more…

go ask Alice when she’s ten feet tall

Aren’t Topshop a little slow on the uptake with their Wonderland collection? How very Miu Miu SS08… Not that I’m complaining of course.











Watch: THIS

Drink: tea

Listen to: Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit

Rabbit…? Optional. Remember - a rabbit is for life, not just for fashion.

For a lil bit of Alice everyday, just wear a bow in your hair. Penneys do a 2-pack of bow headbands for €2 (I have the pink/black combo) or just nip into Hickeys and choose a length of ribbon. BAM.

you just wanna dance in your wreckless path

One thing that I cannot go a day without is mascara. I feel naked without it.
And it’s so hard to find a good one that doesn’t leave clumps or give you spider lashes or smudge easily.

Hi, I’m Lyndsay. And I’m a Maybelline addict. Every so often I’m tempted by others when friends insist they know better but I always go back to the good ole reliable pink n green tube of Great Lash.

So when I read on Fashionista that The Colossal (by Maybelline of course) was every bit as good as Dior Show Blackout, I screamed a little bit, and vowed to buy it straight after work.

I like it when I blink and my lashes almost reach my eyebrows. I went through a very brief phase of wearing false eyelashes but it was too much hassle everyday. So if a mascara can give me the look and feel of falsies, I’m sold.

Unfortunately, The Colossal doesn’t appear to be available in Ireland yet, *sob* so I settled on what seems to be the next best thing.

Maybelline Volum’ Express Turbo Boost.

But is it though???

Well it’s all right. It doesn’t work miracles and it doesn’t like up to its ‘5 times the volume’ promise. My lashes didn’t suddenly transform into the Shu Uemura-like ones I was hoping for. It’s certainly no where as good as Clinique High Impact but it doesn’t give you the spidery look of XXL. It’s…grand.







And yes, I DO need an eyebrow wax.

It’s pics like these that make me wish I didn’t have MASSIVE calves! Seriously, if I tried this, I guarantee I’d look like a footballer or something…
