    She is really beautiful.

    I like Ripped Knees! I think it's kind of quaint, just her life and what she wears. It's not too FASHION. Wearable up, to date clothes, and nearly all from Dublin.

    I love street fashion blogs, with just snaps of people from all over on a regualar day, looking fantastic! The Dublin one is rubbish though. The Sartorialist is probably the most famous. http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/

    Thats exactly what I was thinking! She could do a lot of good for the reputation of the Irish modelling industry. She'd blow Rosanna Davidson, Claire Tully, Andrea Roche or any of those other 'models' out of the water! She's fabulous and seems seriously confident.

    I'm sure people are familiar with What Katie Wore and her boyfriend Joe as well, it started some some back but now is mega famous. I reckon I only like one of her outfits in every 15 though, some *I think* are a bit mental but there are some links on her page to 'what other people wore' which can be handy for finding new blogs.

    Wow that girl is nuts! Bit OTT for my liking tbh. Like some of the stuff is nice (her little green lace ups *sigh*) but not all in the same outfit! She reminds me of people I know in Galway, lot of that style up their the last 5-10 years or so. Very entertaining blog all the same though, she's got balls!

    Ya it's good fun to look at though, I'm suprised its gotten her so much attention from the media tbh, but then thats the art world for ya isn't it!
    Yup lots of very shudder worthy stuff in there, the least complicated outfits are by far the nicest but thats still only because they're an improvement on all the other eye sores. Mental! Man I'm feeling my own style to be very conservative all of a sudden :pac:

    I need to undo some of the bids I put on ebay! ESB bill arrived today! :eek:

    I was thinking another thing that would be good on here would be a swap shop sticky, I have an unholy amount of really nice clothes I was gonna give to a charity shop (*ahem* five bin bags to be exact) it'd be much more fun to swap.

    Ah great minds think alike. Love the idea alright, I think there may have been something going onlike this in Dublin last year, great idea but what about the rest of us far away? :0

    Haha I know one of the girls from the sooo ali site! The pics she has on the top of the page :cool:

    Small world eh?? LOVE that she isn't a skinny, for want of a better word, wretch! It's really disheartening seeing so many blogs where the girl is rail thin and I know I could never wear the same things because they just wouldn't suit my shape.
    Will defo be keeping an eye on this blog!

    Also the ripped knees girl, I dunno how much I like it, I've seen her blog before and I don't think her clothes are unique really. Hmmm might grow on me!

    I agree its really refreshing, although personally I'm not into her style so wouldn't be getting much inspiration from it. Thats part of why I like selective potential so much, she's not too small for me to be able to pull off her outfits as well as she does if I wanted to. That amazing red haired girl from the midlands is so tiny and so tall, the things you could pull off with her figure. I'd really love to see her get snatched up by an agency, maybe someone should email assests a link to her blog :p She's still only 18 or so isn't she? She'd be so perfect on a runway.

    EDIT: totally agree about ripped knees, I'm generally not interested in philosophy student waffle and her outfits are a bit dull. I think she could make more of an effort with her photography too really it's pretty sub-standard for a fashion blog.

    There is one on saturdays in a pub in Cork but I've never been. We also have a kinda vintagey shop that you can bring your clothes into on saturdays and you get a coupon to use in there to buy other stuff with which is cool and I've been meaning to get around to for ages now, but I live outside the city and the last thing I want to do on a saturday morning is go in to town. You could try organising one yourself among your friends, some of my mates did that and it was a great sucess.

    defo that red headed girl is unreal! Woul love a figure like that! :( She's 18 ???:eek: Dear god she looks so much older, very sophisticated for 18!

    Yeah the ripped knees girl, her style is kinda generic, just walk through town and that style is everywhere, the whole thick black glasses, chunky cardis, brogues. Not very original.

    I like this one www.lookbook.nu
    People from around the world post their pics, so much variety! Also there is a girl called Louise from Paris and she is just amazing. Love her style!

    http://little-bag-of-cocaine.blogspot.com/ (not much fashion in it lately though)
    http://kingdomofstyle.typepad.co.uk/my_weblog/

    Going to have to go against the trend here though and say that I dislike Tahiti's blog and like the Ripped Knees one. I find the outfits on the first one aren't to my taste at all, and I can't stand how she writes, I think she sounds a bit pretentious. She does some amazing makeup however. I like the girl on Ripped Knees style, it could be a bit more interesting but I like her more laid back way of dressing.

    Actually follow Tahti S blog, She doesn't want to be a model she gets scouted all
    the time but doesn't want to be generalised because she's 5'8 and a size 8.
    She is on this page.

    Although I'm not a fan of What Katie wore, or much of what she wears this outfit is possibly the cutest thing in the entire world.

    WANT!

    Ya I love that outfit apart from the hideous necklace and her bracelet, pretty much the only outfit I could find that wasn't really horrible though. I just want those shoes! If anyone ever seens any like them for sale let me know please! :)

    Those shoes are the exact same shape as a brogue they had in Penneys about 20months that came in brown and black. You could trying buying a neutral coloured brogue (fawn or cream) and dying them?
