Real Bride - Ciara in Cool Victoriana in The City!

WOW!!!!! 

These photos of our bride Ciara and her hubby Rowen absolutely blew us away!

It was so difficult to choose just a few to post, they were all amazing. Photographer, Caroline of Wild Things Wed has captured this beautiful and stylish pair at some pretty fab locations throughout Dublin. The pop of colour in many (including the brides hair) brings such a sense of fun.

The photography style of Wild Things Wed is right up our street. A little bit edgy, a little bit fun and a whole lot of cool.

Ciara's dress was a vintage, Victoriana style dress from the 1970's. We're absolutely crazy about her cute boots!

Congratulations to Ciara and Rowen on their recent wedding!

Fashion Repeating - Episode 1!

I thought I would do a series of posts about the cyclical nature of fashion and how certain things never go out of style (or if it does, it's not long before it's back!)

Whether its a cut, silhouette, colour combination or overall look, the following have crossed decades and in certain cases, centuries!

For the first post in this series - I'm mad for plaid!!

Alexander Mc Queen 2006

(note the bustle silhouette, very similar to the 1880s dress!)

And to finish up...
