Skinnies or not skinnies

Skinny jeans have been around for some time now, and are still a coveted piece in a contemporary wardrobe. But this season we are seeing the return of the classic bootleg jeans, and I wonder if they had even gone away? To my eyes bootleg jeans clearly never went out of fashion, but skinny jeans took centre stage and it is no surprise that we thought skinnies were the only denim that were fashionable.

When it comes to choosing wardrobe staples, in particular denim, I believe you should look at what suits you as opposed to what is in fashion. If skinnies do not flatter you then classic bootleg or straight leg jeans are as fashionable and have similar style function, plus they exude simplicity, allure, sex appeal, and versatility.

Alex and Ani collection exclusively available in Fallers

Alex and Ani, the hottest jewellery collection in the world right now, is available exclusively in Galway from Fallers Jewellers. Alex and Ani offers eco-friendly, positive energy, products that adorn the body, enlighten the mind, and empower the spirit. They are designed by Carolyn Rafaelian and made in America.

Rafaelian believes that every individual has a positive message to share with the world and by incorporating powerful symbolism and design into each positive energy piece, Alex and Ani provides a vehicle for the wearer to express her individuality in an organic, spiritual way. She believes it is her life’s work to support communities and organisations while inspiring her customers to relish what is unique and authentic about themselves, revealing the beauty that resides within.

In with the new

Department stores can be a Mecca of labels, and thankfully close to home we have a few of these to spoil us. And what makes me very excited is that two of my favourite labels, Sandro and Maje, are launching at Brown Thomas Galway. So what better way to check out what these labels will offer, than to do a little photoshoot and style up some looks to inspire your summer wardrobe.
