Style Crushing on....

Miss Piggy. Yes, that's right. I was watching 'The Muppets take Manhattan' recently, and I couldn't help but fall in love with Miss Piggy's 80's tastic wardrobe. Every style savvy woman in the 80's had a power suit and a perm. All of them. Actual historical fact right there.

With more image overhauls than Madonna, and possibly even a couple more nips and tucks, Miss Piggy is still looking amazing today!

Elena Perminova.

What's the best thing about fashion weeks each year? Of course it is the style on the streets, as much as I look forward to seeing my favourite designers showcase their new collections what really excites me is what people are wearing going in and out of the shows. Over the past couple of years street style has had such a huge influence on fashion thanks to blogging and now most magazines are featuring on their websites segments such as 'who we snapped this week' etc. There is no escaping streetstyle, you just have to look at how big and popular sites such as Lookbook & Chictopia are. Who would have thought a snap of yourself in an outfit in your bedroom could have such an influence.
There is a few fashion folk I always keep an eye out for each fashion week. Miroslava Mikheeva-Duma, Taylor Tomasi Hill, Natalie Hartley and of course Anna Dello Russo to name but a few. I follow them because they have fun with fashion. They obviously have great access to almost every designers wardrobe so hell, if I did I would also go a bit wild. Let's face it hardly any of us are going to go to Aldi in something Anna Dello Russo is wearing so most of these fashion 'pack' as they are known will probably not influence our everyday style but I love seeing what they are wearing each season.
Someone I have noticed over the past few seasons is Elena Perminova probably because you most likely find her walking into the shows with Miroslava. Her style is awesome as is her new white blonde hair.
Who are your favourite from the fashion 'pack' or do you prefer the model's streetstyle or the everyday girl on blogs?

Some of Elena's outfits from Haute Couture S/S 13...

DIY shirt, Dolly Frocks Skirt....

Hello Hello!
Just a super quick outfit post of what I wore to a gig the other night.
The Tee is a D.I.Y. ( see here) and the skirt is from one of my favourite online stores, Dolly Frocks. I love it! I have mostly worn it with huge slouchy jumpers and lots of layering, but decided to try it in a (ever so slightly) dressier way. I still have to go the whole hog of dressiness with it, and will probably do that with a chiffon blouse, heels and a black pussy bow. Supah versatile and it's €25. I mean what's not to love!?

Sunday Night Love....

We hope you had a lovely weekend! Let us attempt to banish any Sunday night blues with a few images that have inspired us over the last few days...

Solange Knowles. If you are ever in a fashion rut , turn to this lady for a style kick in the bum.Her style is like a big explosion of fun, colour, texture and print. Her 'Today I'm Wearing' blog for Vogue.com was so much fun to keep track of!

Speaking of Style Ruts, I have been bored to tears recently with Lookbook.nu.
I had totally given up on what was once one of my favourite places to visit online. It had turned into a sea of skinny girls, with levi cut off shorts and hair down to their waists, wearing Ashlee Olsen type jackets and shades, all titled after Lana Del Ray songs. However, I recently got a pleasant surprise when I dropped by for a look, and found some new bloggers to style crush on. First up is Roos Anne Van Dorsten from Mode Rosa. Her style is grounded in basics, but she manages to make look really interesting and believable. #LOVE.

A day for the ducks...

On days like today, there is nothing better than putting some slippers on, curling up with a hot drink and spending some quality time chilling out. So relax, and enjoy reading what we have been getting up to and who we are style crushing on this week..

We went along to the River Island S/S 13 press day this week. I don't get hugely excited by S/S showcases ( that's the pessimist in me. Ireland is never the place to wear most of the fab clothes on offer due to the pesky weather) but there were some amazing pieces in the collection.
We mostly hearted the kimono styles, jackets and accessories.

This week, we have also been going hard planning issues 4,5 and 6 of 'tabitha'.
This is the part of the process we like the most. Lot's of coffee drinking ( for pleasure, not for to stay awake like times when it's approaching deadline), meeting with great people, idea storming, and generally hanging out in lovely places...

Hot Chocolate on the quays, in Dublin.

We found our new favourite place in town this week also, it's called 'The House that Jack Built' and it's located just on Harold's Cross. If you follow us on instagram, you will have probably seen us gushing about it...

We also went shopping in Deco Bake on the Quays. Seriously, even if you don't enjoy baking, drop in here for a look. It's such a gorgeous store, full of pretty things, and it may be a teeny bit obvious that we heart pretty things @ tabitha.
There is a wall of ribbons, for crying out loud! Heaven!

And this week, I have been in LOVE with Jessica Alba. Her Golden Globes look was definitely one of my faves, and her off duty look is just a good recently.
(Her bag choices, are sometimes... hmmmmm questionable, but I can let it slide because she get everything else so right)
