It’s practically the weekend so time to indulge in all things naughty (namely clothes & food in my case!). Like fashion, food is one of life’s guilty little pleasures. That’s why I always like to hear good news about the food I love being healthy in oh so many ways. Chillis are one my culinary passions, there’s not much I don’t eat without a healthy dose added to the mix. It appears I’m not alone -stats show how a staggering 98% of us now add spice to our food on a regular basis.
So because it’s Friday and time for a little randomness, here’s some fabulous chilli facts from the lovely peeps at Nando’s (yum!) as part of the New National Chilli Week.

As a self-confessed make-up junkie, I am always on the hunt for a new and exciting range whose sparkling eye colours, luscious lip glosses and flawless foundation catch my eye.
Italian brand Royal Effem is my latest obsession. A market leader in Italy and Europe, and used by the head make up artist for Georgio Armani, the range is now available on the Emerald Isle. Lucky for me, I got to try out some of their gorgeous make up treats and I wasn’t disappointed.

Over the weekend I popped my head into the Pepe London store on Dublin’s Exchequer street. It’s been a while since I’ve been in and I always find it’s one of those stores where I either want to buy the entire contents of the shop (yes, both men & womenswear!) or I leave yearning for something else completely.
On this occasion I was more taken by their new campaign for AW09 which sees the introduction of Madonna’s current love interest Jesus Luz (it’s very clear what she see’s in him, check out more of luscious Luz below!). The shots follow a group of young city bohemians in an autumnal setting – very eye catching indeed.

“But have your eye-lashes always been so long?” recently queried a befuddled old flame, “So strange that I never really noticed them before.” “I guess I am just lucky,” retorted yours truly, with a luxurious sweep of my lengthy lashes. But he was right – something had changed. I’d made a discovery that has transformed my sometimes spidery lashes into voluminous weapons of massive drama!

Fat Face recently celebrated the opening of their fifth store in Ireland in the Dundrum Town Centre. I have to be honest, as a store I find it can be a bit hit and miss but their latest collection for Winter has surprised me and features some really nice active lifestyle clothing for men and women.
Doing what they do best, the menswear collection is cool with stylish details for outdoor types including traditional chunky buttons and contrast knit panels along side plaid check shirts. Luxury leather is also offered in jackets.
