Ideas For Your Inner Stepford Wifeyness!

The Gorgeous Paula & Tille modelling Daisy Star Aprons

Daisy Star in Shebeen Chic

Loving the colour combinations!

I actually have this one!

If like me you're fond of cooking up a storm in the kitchen but you've just come home from work and you've forgotten to take off your office wear/vintage guna... YOU NEED ONE OF THESE!!!

I don't mind admitting that I'm a very messy puppy when i cook (why must tomato sauce land on my front when I'm standing 4ft away at the sink?) having tormented myself with destroying many a perfectly clean outfit it is now ingrained in my head...put on your Apron!!! These beauties are gorgeous and completely handmade in beautiful fabrics.

Now I look perfectly immaculate when my hubby returns from a hard days work... except for the piece of uncooked spaghetti sticking out of my quiff...

Also available for your little arty, baking mini-me's

Available from www.daisystar.net

Great name!

Super pretty

With my apron & one of these I could concoct the perfect afternoon tea!

Once you've thrown the flour, baking powder & icing sugar around with wild abandon , whip of your Apron, breath a sigh of delight that your outfit is spotless and then place your butterfly cupcakes on one of these

I just love this new venture from Me Auld China

http://www.meauldchina.com

This is such a fabulous idea using matching and mis-matched vintage crockery to create beautiful tired cake-plates.

Me Auld China also hire out cake plates for special occassions and weddings...they even offer to Pimp Your Plate!

Both these amazing new venutres will be displaying at different markets in Dublin in the next few weeks, check out their websites for details.

And remember...Christmas is sneaking up, start planning early

Mrs Courtney's Tea Rooms Killarney

Oooh how do you choose with so many delicious treats!!!

Prettiness everywhere!

I wonder if they would let me move in?

Chandeliers everywhere...my kind of place!

As it was myself and the hubby's 5 year wedding anniversary (5 years? how did that happen!) we took a little trip to Kerry for the weekend and following some good advise from a lovely friend, we found ourselves having lunch in Mrs Courtney's Tearooms in Killarney.

The tearooms are super cute, adorable even! Just my cup of tea if you'll excuse the pun...

We had a delicious lunch, sampling the Ceylon tea and then deliberating over which yummy sweet treat to linger over (a very moist coffee cake was the answer).

Wonderful staff, wonderful food and beautiful decor...what's not to love!

Prudence Beauty Awards 2010

Prudence Beauty Awards hosted by Ireland AM presenter Sinead Desmond

Super view from the very NYC Gibson Hotel

The Gibson Hotel restaurant

Being Dirty Fabulous in a Car Park!!!

Oh I've been a bit lax on the blog updates but I have a few for you today! We're still flat out sorting our new boutique, but it's definitely worth the effort, it looks amazing and will be opening very soon!

We did manage to squeeze in a visit to the new Gibson Hotel in the Point Village last week to attend the Prudence Beauty Awards 2010.

It was a fun event which highlighted the key, must have, prudent beauty products. Good knowledge to have when us ladies are bombarded with countless products on the market... the Beauty awards have done the leg work for you. Just pick up your copy of Prudence available today for the full low down! With winning ranges from Penny's and Aldi we can afford to keep our make-up bag fully stocked!

Oh and FYI the Gibson Hotel is excellent for a cocktail on their huge terrace over looking the city and soaking up the last of the summer rays. It's very like the Hudson hotel in New York before it became so last season!!!

It's been a crazy few months but we've finally got the keys to our new city centre boutique. Now it's all systems go as we've begun the fit out for our amazing new boutique. I won't give too much away but I though I'd add a few teaser shots of our new collection and it's fabulous new abode...

I'll post lots more photos before we open in September.

Dirty Fabulous Mark 2 is GO GO GO!!!
