For all the talk there has been about too many models posing in bikinis, and all the flack these ladies get about not being proper models, at the end of the day they are adorable, bubbly and seemingly fun loving girls making a living. Not to mention that they are all gorge. Say what you will about hair extensions, make up and fake tan, I think these girls are lovely and I love this picture!

Buyer's Remorse BE GONE!

2009-12-02T18:59:00.006+01:00

So we've talked about a lot lately about still having the freedom to shop even in the midst of this recession but we are realistic at the same time. We know that even with all the smart shopping, organizing, reevaluating and penny pinching, when you go out on a spree sometimes a few hours later the guilt sets in. Buyer's Remorse!

We Love models here at Cineal Saoil, even former models turned-something elses (insert actor, musician etc. here).

Be a Better Shopper; Make - Up bag edit!

2009-10-22T15:11:00.006+02:00

Yesterday we expelled the importance of trimming the fat on your wardrobe, really knowing what you already own and why it works for you. But, clothing isn't the only area in which we over indulge and over buy. How many times have you bought a pair of killer heels that literally kill your feet and therefore never wear? Maybe you've just never been able to find the right outfit to go with them? Or

The Celtic Tiger is no more and we are in a recession folks, there is no way around it! Everyday we are seeing articles in the paper about the end of glitzy charity balls, the farewell to A-List Launches with over stuffed gift bags and the near shuttering of many Fab establishments.

2009-09-29T16:46:00.007+02:00

Even though I am having a supreme time here in NYC, I am totally out of the loop with most things Irish and Fab. This would present a Major problem if it wasn't for some wonderful, not to mention super glam gals whom I can live vicariously through!

We're back with Fionnuala Bouke and part two of our chit chat with the dynamic, multi layered and talented fashion designer poised to take Ireland by storm. Many may recognize Fionnuala from her Project Catwalk days, or the name from dressing many Irish models and 208 Miss Universe Ireland 2008 Lynn Kelly. Today we will hear about Fionnuala's personal style, wardrobe staples and the CeLaGs she'd

SO just as U2 is rocking New York and reminding America, and the world, that the Irish totally kick-ass, this viral Tom OC video is everywhere? I am still myself not clear on the origins of "Ireland's Hottest Gangsta Rapper" But one thing is for certain - the Americans think it is serious and are having a serious laugh at Ireland's expense? Don't believe me, read an entry from my FAV bitchy

Fionnuala Bourke is a fresh, young, up and coming Irish designer who's looks we just adore and who's brain we were dying to pick! We've talked to models and stylists about the business and their love of fashion so we just couldn't wait to have a creator of clothes answer some of the same questions and more! What inspired your first collection? My grandparents were "The Bourkes" of Dame Street, a

So, even though when I first arrived in NY last week it was grey dull and rainy the last two days have been absolutely cracking! Sunny, dry warm and no dreaded humidity which was the big (hair) problem during my summer trip! I am in and out of meetings to set up the event that I have been asked to host in November for an Irish street wear line (*more info to come soon!) Saturday was typical

Fall Fashion 09 - Shop Local; Dresses!

2009-09-11T14:56:00.009+02:00

The last few weeks of Summer become the perfect opportunity for designers and fashion houses to dress the biggest Hollywood stars in whatever look they are hoping to push for fall. The red carpet doubles as a a Fall Runway and all the 'It' girls don what we mere mortals will spend the Autumn /Winter trying to recreate! The close of this Summer has seen one very particular trend flooding ever

Vintage Glam; Kitty Kiernan

2009-09-09T17:25:00.006+02:00

Not many pictures remain of the 'Fab' Kitty Kiernan but between the few that do always show her looking highly fashionable for her time...add that to the fact that she was engaged to Michael Collins and that there are bars named for her all over the world (Wexford, Dublin, New York, Austria and Australia to name just a few!) Leads me to believe she was quite the gal... I just recently

If Voltaire Diamonds signs on to sponsor an event the probability is very high that it is going to be an all out glam shindig! Couple that with the fact that it is for an extraordinary cause and the fabulousness of thelaunch party, and it is pretty much a done deal that Ireland's First Annual Cannon Ball Run is going to be 3 days worth taking part in! Kicking off at 7 am this Friday morning,

She is an artist and a designer and so much more!

MAC's Naked Honey Body Wash is by for the most GLAM thing I've ever used in my shower! The smell - a mix of raw honey and hints of narcissus, jasmine, and a bit of lavender for a bit of a clean, masculine edge that I adore - is delicious! I only wish that the scent was a bit stronger because I would forgo perfume altogether! This new luxe line also includes a skin salve, a body cream, and a

So I'm bopping around NYC, doing a spot of shopping - as research of course! - and I decide to pop into one of my fave funky stores Urban Outfitters to stock up on some glam casual items. I wander back to the tee-shirt sections to score my FAV, cool, cozy tees by Junk Food and who do I see staring back at me? A poster of our girl ROSIE smiling away in her Junk Food Guinness Tee! The poster was
