This is the day that the news from Ireland is pretty dire. The news from the UK is that of an impending Royal wedding. I’m having a déjà vu looking at that ring again. First time around I thought it was stunning and I have my own version to prove it! The competition is in full swing so if you are reading this do please have a go because it’s just a bit of fun and the prizes come from the super cult Irish T-Shirt company LadyUmbrella.

Etsy is one of the sites I go to in order to cheer myself off. It feels like one of those great craft/vintage markets that I always seek out whilst on holidays. So this is where I went this evening and forever a bag lady this is what I found. The wallets and purses are from Thailand and all are hand made.

Press releases pop into my email box at an enormous rate ,something I hadn’t at all figured on when I started this blog. I try to speed read through them all lest I miss something truly incredible. One I missed from last year was an invitation to a dinner at which Lady Gaga was a guest (and no, it was real, I saw the pics after) which I only looked at when it was too late to change my ticket to LFW!

Today I spotted one from Brown Thomas (and as I’m heading very early tomorrow morning to Galway to share what I know about Hosiery and Falke in particular to anyone who will listen), I opened it. Surprise to find that their Christmas shop in the Dublin store is opening this Friday!!!! What? I hadn’t even begun to think about Halloween yet, not until I opened a second email from Etsy and saw these pictures that cheered me up no end . No I don’t want to know anything about Santa, Sleighs, snow men or anything with bells or baubles on it…..

All of these costumes are for sale

I have been working madly in the show room today organising the Jaeger London collection and the new younger Boutique Jaeger Collection as well as sending out news letters to customers on what is happening. We are in full swing preparing to sell for Spring Summer next year! You would think that I’d had enough of fashion when I come home in the evening but here I find myself checking out Etsy which I am drawn to occasionally. As I wait for the lamb and new potatoes to finish cooking ( the whole room is full of gorgeous garlicky/rosemary and lemon smells) I found these. If you click on the Etsy link on each one it will take you to the seller.

I’m so addicted to hats and seem to be collecting them at a fierce pace. I’m predicting that we will be a big fashion accessory this Winter again
