A bientôt!
And we're off (again!). Ben and I are headed to the beautiful Côte d’Azur to work on a story for an upcoming issue of CARA. I've been dreaming up shots for weeks now, but one of the things I'm most excited about is

Weekend Round Up
Looking back, we packed a lot in this weekend. Friday, my sister and some of my Mexican cousins came over for a taco dinner – no pressure! But Ben picked up corn tortillas and nachos (plus some Horchata too) from Picado and we'd popped a pork loin in the

Oh my, July
It's always a little mad come summer. I sprint around during April and May and then in June realise that wait, this is a marathon. Come July I'm ready for a very long nap. It's like some part of me is still in college

Landslide
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life? Beautiful cover of Fleetwood Mac's Landslide by Robyn Sherwell. I heard it on the Suffragette trailer, which looks incredible (written, directed and produced by women, with a brilliant mainly female cast).

32 Years Ago (a Birthday Post of Sorts)
I celebrated my birthday this month. Just a few days beforehand, my mum received this incredible video of her, my father and uncles performing in their flying trapeze act. The year? 1983. She flew through the air with – as you can see around the one minute mark – a great deal

And I'm Off (Again!)
Very quick Saturday update – I hope you're enjoying the bank holiday weekend. I'm writing this post from Dublin Airport, as I'm about to hop on a flight to New York, where I'll be for a couple of days. I'm incredibly

History happened here
Woah. Where to begin? With a couple of pics, I suppose.... These are a couple of the fun snaps I managed to grab in between absorbing the electric atmosphere in Dublin city on Saturday. Ben and I had spent the morning working on a totally unrelated story that I was

Yes to Love
It's a really important week here in Ireland, as we vote on something that shouldn't really require a vote – equality for all our citizens. There has been so much incredible writing in recent days – this piece by Una, and this piece, about how marriage has changed

Weekend round up + a new look
Hola! How was your weekend? Did the completely confused weather hit you too? My Saturday was spent working, and – drumroll, please – updating the design of the blog. My amateur coding tweaks had meant that the site wasn't exactly coming top of the class when it came to passing

These days
It has been a week of extremes, as I've been travelling lots, for both work and play. Over the past 10 days or so, I got a taste of jet setter life – truth be told, I'm not sure how skilled I am at it, but it

Credenza update
Quick update to happily say... we got a credenza! You may recall me going on about my search for one in my post on where to find good mid century furniture in Dublin. Well, last week, Geoff from Kirk Modern got in touch to tell me about a gorgeous Danish

Weekend round up + celebrating Record Store Day
Hope you had a lovely weekend! After a late, coffee-fuelled finish at work Friday evening, I took Saturday very, very easy. To celebrate Record Store Day, Ben and I popped into Tower Records, where I picked up a lovely 7" limited edition vinyl of Palomino, Gemma Hayes' new
