Hi! I'm Fiona, an Irish girl living in the UK. Lead singer in rock/pop band Alter Ego, I have a passion for fashion and great music!

Oh My Yes












“Ancient steel rails, long without burdens, cradled now in new concrete, perform a snake-like dance.
Undulating close to neighboring buildings, they offer seductive photo ops with every turn.
Here, where walking feels like low flight, sunlight dances on the Hudson
to the murmuring accompaniment of a thousand international voices,
while river winds give wildflowers softly flowing motion
and whisper rustling secrets through the trees”
~ Jeffrey Ben Berman

The search for the perfect t-shirt never ends! I have a few really good ones now, but I have to say, this cropped one with its quirky graphic message is right up there. Oh my yes! AMO (named after the Latin word for love) are now as well known for their LA-made t-shirts as they are for their much sought after jeans that are designed by and for women who want their clothing to work with their figure, their style, and their way of life.

I styled my tee with the Rixo London skirt all the fashionistas are crazy for. ‘Georgia’ has featured in almost all of the brands collections, and I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to bag one for myself! Better late than never though. With weightless silk, fluid movement, and a captivating 70s Mini Star print, this skirt is nothing short of a Bohemian dream.

A pair of Michael Kors crackled metallic flats, and a Manley embellished bag finishes off this perfect ‘cool girl’ look.

Layla









"What'll you do when you get lonely?
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.
Layla,
You've got me on my knees, Layla.
I'm begging, darling please, Layla.
Darling won't you ease my worried mind"
~ Eric Clapton

Even with a closet full of clothes, it's sometimes easy to feel like you have nothing to wear, so I love when I can pull an outfit together with minimalist effort. That's exactly what you get with this great dress by Manley.

The 'Layla' mini has become a staple in Manley designs, reappearing in collections season after season in different colourways, varying lengths, and even as beautiful blouses, to the delight of all Manley fans.

I love it's simplicity, and already have a couple of the blouses in black and orange, and dresses in vibrant blue and rich burgundy. I wear them everywhere. It's easy to dress 'Layla' up or down, making it perfect for almost any occasion, be it weddings, schmancy restaurants, or fun laid-back evenings with friends in the pub. It's a timeless piece, a very modern take on the classic shirt dress; easy, effortless, classic and chic.
