FOLK..im excited!!!

Well as the year rolls in its obvious a little mini folk fashion trend is filtering down from the catwalks in Milan and Paris and im delighted! Scattered in and out of all the top designers new spring summer collections for 2009, even in Karl Largerfeld for Chanel, Marc Jacobs, DKNY to name but a few. Folk has reared its very lovely tassled & suede head!
DDDDeelllighted!


Think feathered headdresses, Long-haired capes, Plastic necklaces, Leather, suede, Goat and Sheepskin stoles, Neon scarfs, electric bright make up and that rules are made to be broken.

Maybe Im some sort of indian folk Gypsy person in my heart or maybe a love of beads and all things tasslily appeals to me!Whatever the case you will be seeing mr. and mrs. folk inspired pieces everywhere from now on!
No doubt Folk inspired people will be spilling out of every music festivel this year, in our mix and match trendless year of 2009!



I have even come across it in warehouse...they have a whole selection - WAREHOUSE....come on they are the epitamy of " this is my black going out dress and thats it"...well maybe thats alittle to harsh I have picked up a few very lovely things in there over the years!

I have invested this season myself by buying beautiful brown suede ankle boots with ...yep you guessed it TASSLES!lol and on sale no less even BETTER! I do love them as i was trying to shelter them from the rain last tuesday night ... in the very lovely dry Dublin?? or monsoon season dublin????i think the latter

Look to Anna Sui and Louis Vitton this year - Unreal!
Anywho get a piece of the folk action and tassle tease your folk side with abit of this mini trend.....sure why not!
