This past week has been brought to me by the word ‘food’, and the letters N, O and M. It all kicked off last Thursday when Ben‘s mum, an incredibly talented cook who trained at Ballymaloe, had a gang of us over for dinner. The feast included little cones of salmon and creme frai
How was your Paddy’s Day weekend? I spent the day chilling, food shopping and house-keeping. Not very exciting, right? Where once I stood on a pillar on Dame Street for about three hours straight so I could snap the parade, this year I relished the opportunity to catch up on all those boring b
I love this Ireland-shaped type map from Bold & Noble. I already have their gorgeous Love one, but wouldn’t mind adding this to my collection. And let’s not forget, emerald is Pantone’s colour for 2013…

Have you heard of the Mysterious Letters project? I only came across it this week. Their goal is to send a hand-written letter to everyone in the world, one town at a time. And guess what? They've done Ireland! The letters are sweet, funny and a little random.
How sweet are these pieces? They’re from the Cork-based Etsy shop Homespun Ireland. I just love that miniature cottage pendant, and the Kiss Me rosette is the perfect Paddy’s Day accessory.
I have some pretty big news to share with you today. Although if you follow me on Twitter, you no doubt already know. After four and a half years at KISS Magazine, over two of them as editor, the time has come to change, grow and move on and this week I started my new […]
