Disaster in Dirty Fabulous.

We have awful, horrendous, terrible news...

There was a fire in our building on Sunday and Dirty Fabulous on Lower Baggot St is no more.

We are absolutely gutted and in a state of shock.

The last few days have been a blur, lots of tears and we haven't got our thinking caps on about what we are going to do or where Dirty Fabulous will re locate to. (Any suggestions kindly welcomed)

Please, please, please sign up to the mailing list from the website for updates on our progress.

We have been trying to contact a lot of customers personally but we haven't been able to get to everyone. Apologies for this.

Thank you for your patience and continued support.

If you have any other queries please contact us by email on info@dirtyfabulous.com

A Gaggle of Dirty Fabulous Dresses

'Oh is the camera pointing at us...I didn't notice!'

'oh what laughs'

'trying to be demure!' Caroline made me my headpiece...she's a very good girl!

I'm lucky to have wonderful friends who like moi, love fashion and are firm supporters of Dirty Fabulous!

Above are some photos, by Breda, taken at a recent wedding we all went to in our Dirty Fabulous vintage gunas... needless to say much merriment was had by all!!!

I love the colours in these images...very Mad Men. The dresses look fab together even though each is so completely different to the next.

Hope you like!!!

Thanks girlies for choosing Dirty Fabulous

Absolut Style at Set!

Blanaid Hennessy at The Set at Langtons House Hotel


Ooooh....Here's something we're really looking forward to...

It's an event organised by interiors and fashion writer (and over all uber stylish lady), Blanaid Hennesy.
This event is three days of vintage fashion, furniture and film, along with make-overs, style talks, live photoshoots and performances, followed by fun nights out all in association with Absolut Vodka!!!

Dirty Fabulous will be there on Sunday selling our gorgeous treasures and then we'll be dancing the night away with Soul Kitchen.

It's on the Easter weekend and is super good value. Grab some girlfriends and stay a night or two in Langtons or a neighbouring hotel.

With an amazing jam packed schedule the only worry you'll have is not 'what to do' but more 'what will I wear!'.

I woke up yesterday morning wondering 'had i left the lights on?' 'what is that burning thing in the sky?'. But hurrah, after it's long winter absence it's actually just the sun, it's been so long I'd forgotten what it looked like!

The good weather is perfectly timed with this weeks Spring runway trends post. A regular segment here in Dirty Fabulous, being a fashion junkie I do love to trawl the seasonal catwalks and spot the trends and how they work with their vintage counterparts.

Above is just a sample of the delicate nudes, whites, and print themes that so many designers fell in love with this season.

The gorgeous Dirty Fabulous model is Siobhan who was good enough to help us out in Dirty Fabulous for a few days last week. I think you'll agree that she shows perfectly how to rock this seasons trend with a vintage feel...Thanks a mill Siobhan!!!
