A big apology to my many fans. I have not been very active the past several months. In fact, I have not been active since I have been very busy getting everything in place after I moved to Dublin.

Now I'll pull myself together and write to you quite often.

If I thought that I did not write enough, write to me, tell me and what we like to hear about me and my life

Moved to Ireland

Now that I of personal reasons, have moved to Ireland to live and work.  I will  try to give you an insight of,  what is Irish fashion and how is Irish people's view on fashion.
Both their own and others.
 But I will of course continue to follow the Danish fashion and the Dane's view on fashion.

As always you are welcome to ask. And I will try to answer.

Fashion in Ireland

Normally we would not look at Ireland as a fashion country. But ther is some designers who come from Ireland. And more British firms and department stores have started using Irish product.

In Ireland, they have a store chain called Penney's and here is really good product on the shelves. And it's amazingly cheap. However, one should know what you're looking to get the full benefit, but then you can actually buy a lot and delicious at Penney's, and the quality is there nothing wrong with. Perhaps that is the reason that Penney's have stores in large part of the world over the last years.

I can recommend the Penney's, one must as mentioned before, know  what you're looking for to get the full benefit. Soif it´s skirts you want you go ther, and the bags must go there. etc. If you do this you can find meny great things at low price.

Also ther are a lot of things for kids and accessories. And then things you will always need as a whoman.

Take a look for yourself

Glasses is tend

Glasses are really important now. They’ve had a massive renaissance in the last six years where they’ve become not only an optical device, but also a great fashion staple.’
A stylish pair of glasses could be just what you need to spice up your look and maybe even get the opposite sex to sit up and take notice, says television star and fashion guru Gok Wan. ‘A good pair of glasses will give you real specs appeal.’

The fashion icon and TV personality has been launching his latest collection of designer glasses for Specsavers and said that, nowadays, a good set of glasses means so much more than just improved vision – it’s a style statement that can enhance your whole look.

‘Glasses are really important now. They’ve had a massive renaissance in the last six years where they’ve become not only an optical device, but also a great fashion staple. People are using them as accessories now and a lot of the kids are wearing them without the lenses in, which is brilliant.’

Gok went on to say that designer glasses are now an integral part of celebrity culture with many stars now sporting them in the pages of glossy magazines and models being asked to don them when taking part in advertising campaigns. ‘So if you ever wanted to feel fashionable and glamorous then now is the time to get your specs out,’ he explained.

When asked for his thoughts on the old saying that men don’t tend to chat up women who wear glasses, the TV style guru said that such a statement was ‘complete rubbish’ and that there were plenty of stylish ladies out there that proved it, adding: ‘I love it when Kelly Osbourne wears glasses – and Alexa Chung of course.’

He concluded: ‘In fact some guys I know prefer girls in glasses – so get your specs on ladies if you’re single.

1 in 8 women consider themselves Beautiful

MORE than one in four women admit the biggest pressure to be 'beautiful' comes from themselves, according to a new study.

And only one in eight (13 per cent) have the confidence to call themselves 'attractive'.

Natural beauties Holly Willoughby and Kate Winslet were in the top three of women's most 'inspirational beauties', beaten only by the nation's sweetheart Kate Middleton in the Dove Body Confidence Census 2012.

And the survey of 1,000 women, conducted by Dove Skincare, found more than three-quarters (78 per cent) rated 'real women' as the image they'd most like to see in beauty advertising, over celebrities and teenage girls.

However, one-in-four women were unable to remember when they last received a compliment that made them feel beautiful.

The poll found 27 per cent of women admit the biggest pressure to be beautiful actually comes from themselves. As a result, just one in eight women (13 per cent) have the confidence to call themselves 'attractive'.

Society (19 per cent) and the media (13 per cent) were next on the list of top beauty pressures, but just five per cent of women feel pressure from friends, family and partners.

The research also revealed that the secret to UK women feeling confident was a clear combination of relationships and looking good. Being loved (72 per cent) was the biggest confidence booster for women, followed by having a strong relationship or marriage (53 per cent), liking how you look in the mirror (35 per cent), being in good physical shape (33 per cent), and taking good care of yourself (31 per cent).

Although 'being loved' rated highest as the biggest influence on confidence, looks are still playing a key role in boosting self-esteem. The vast majority of women (82 per cent) agree they feel their best inside and out when they care about the way they look.

The art of paying compliments also rated highly in helping women feel beautiful, with 50 per cent agreeing they feel more confident when they are complimented - second only to being in a happy relationship. However, one-in-four women were unable to remember when they last received a compliment that made them feel beautiful.

The research also revealed different attitudes to confidence across varying age groups. As women get older, the amount of compliments they give per day reduces significantly.

One in five 18 to 24-year-old old women (20 per cent)tell their female friends they look beautiful on a daily basis, but just fone in 25 of 55 to 64-year-olds (four per cent) do the same. Both those age groups had the lowest beauty confidence while those in the 25 to 29-year-old age bracket feel the most assured about their looks.

Dove claims to be a worldwide pioneer in raising women's self-esteem and supporting real beauty, and is launching a new nationwide billboard campaign this month. Supporting the Dove Skincare range, it introduces 'Alexis', a British-born Real Woman scouted for her positivity and body confidence.

Ali Fisher, Dove's marketing manager, said: "Eight years on from the launch of Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty, it's clear there is still a need for women like Alexis to help boost self-esteem around the country.

"Dove's Body Confidence Census proves it is as important as ever for women to know they are beautiful inside and out. We hope our new Dove skincare campaign will remind women everywhere to celebrate their own natural beauty and be happy in their own skin."

Alexis Foreman, who features in the new Dove skincare campaign, said: "I hope women see me on the billboards and feel empowered.

"I still can't believe it's actually me up there. Being part of the campaign is something my family is genuinely proud of, and I can't tell you what it's done for my confidence."

Rocha jnr on 25 is hitting as a designer

Dublin, London, Paris, Milan, Hong Kong, Tokyo and New York -- the international rise and rise of young Irish designer Simone Rocha continues in an almost vertical curve.



Five years after graduating from Dublin's NCAD, the 25-year-old is stocked in 30 stores worldwide.

She hangs beside Valentino in the prestigious Colette store in Paris, while in London she is between Alexander McQueen and Yves Saint Laurent.

Ms Rocha's designs are stocked in Hong Kong's avant-garde store IT. In Milan, she's in Corso Como and Opening Ceremony stock her in New York and LA .

This weekend, Ms Rocha was invited to be part of the line-up of the inaugural Vogue Fashion Fest in London, where the industry's biggest names took part in talks, including Tom Ford, Stella McCartney and Dolce & Gabbana.

In January, Lady Gaga singled out the Irish designer and chose a €560 bright green, silk organza, frilled net dress from her spring summer 2012 collection to wear on the cover of 'Elle' magazine -- a major coup for John Rocha's daughter.

However, Rocha jnr has an independent streak, and if that means being stocked in the store next door to her dad's shop in Mayfair, London, that's the way it goes, because it's all about "fit," said Ms Rocha.

"I think dad's shop is absolutely amazing and it houses what he does so beautifully, but I am now next door in Dover Street Market because for me, that feels like the right fit for me now and also I'm with Dover Street Market in The Ginza in Tokyo, an amazing space which opened last month," said Ms Rocha.

"I never got into it to be dad's daughter, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered, so I'm really happy with the path my career is taking at the moment," said Ms Rocha, who didn't see moving next door to the Comme des Garcons concept shop as a cheeky rebuff to her designer dad after they approached her in Paris.

"No, the reality is I've a huge respect for dad, he has a very large respect for me as well. There are lots of opportunities out there for me and this opportunity for me just felt right. There is a really good relationship between us and them," said Ms Rocha, who travelled to Dublin last month to launch her limited edition design collaboration with West Coast Cooler and a party at City Hall, Dublin.

Ms Rocha's critically acclaimed spring summer collection included panels of antique lace encased inside transparent textile.

Lady Gaga wore one of the pieces in London last October, so the fashion cognoscenti weren't entirely blindsided when for her Elle shoot, Ms Gaga later chose the green dress stocked in Dublin at Havana in Donnybrook.

"I thought I really had something to say with this plastic and lace collection," said Ms Rocha who last week was hailed as one of the Top Ten To Watch by Browns of South Molton Street.

They will stock her from autumn and described the designer to 'British Vogue' as "a cool girl's dream".

With Easter, spring is coming and the light and heat aswell. We are coming out with trees an old proverb are saying, and refers to it that we are geting out of the winter's many layers of clothing.

And then there come colors, and we begin to show a little skin. feeling are going into  summer mood and we all get a little more happy and free.

Also in the fashion world is showing it, espcially in the stores. Where they, just have been waiting for that it was time for spring and summer.

This year, the colors become stronger and patten is allowed in any showoff. All the colors can be mixed and then it can be both tight and body close or loose and comfortable, but nothing in between is not so much.


Layer upon layer is okay, for example, you can have leggings under the dress and tunics and sweaters on the outside or 4 layers of shirts as long as you keep the basic rules.

When summer comes, the colors get´s more dusty but otherwise it's the same thing´s that makes the Gills.

So in the coming months you will get to see colors and stripes, flowers, etc here on this site.

And remember that a few real high heels always puts an extra finishing touch
