  • Loved writing this article on choosing the right bra and clothing after breast cancer. I spoke to innovator Ciara Donlon of Theya Healthcare, breast cancer nurse @vintagefindsyou and the amazing Pauline Conway (pictured last with her daughter Kate). A breast cancer survivor herself, Pauline set up the gorgeous Bravelle boutique in Limerick (2nd photo) specialising in post mastectomy bras, offering a discreet and personalized service for her customers.

  • Regram from Ryan Rivers' shoot with Lottie Moss for Dazed. Ryan and I are collabing on a shoot this Wednesday in Waterford. Looking for a #hairstylist, #MUA and if any designers would like to lend clothes or jewellery I can do pick ups tomorrow as I'll be in Dublin. Please pass on to anyone who might be interested. I can meet in the city centre and post the stuff back up on Thursday.

  • Sometimes I forget that I'm enough. The way I am. I don't have to have the perfect smile, the luscious lips, the glossy hair, the lack of any hair under the eyebrows, the thick brows, the muscular legs, the toned arms, abs, legs, the smooth forehead, the manicured nails, the long eyelashes, the sun-kissed skin, the same body, the same teeth, the same forehead, the same brows as everyone else.
I don't need to be out sipping Prosecco with a massive squad, cooking an Insta-worthy dinner and having a curated home fit for an interiors mag. 
Maybe it's ok to be a hairy, wrinkly woman with strengths and weaknesses and insecurities who struggles to keep the house clean and have the time to get the dinner on the table.
Let's take the power out of the words we use to ascribe negative connotations to ourselves. Wrinkles, ageing, fat, skinny, unfit, sagging, flabby, unhealthy, stretch marks etc. 
My body is a marvel. It can stretch to bring life, it is strong and resilient and has endured a lot. My skin tells a story. I have lived and loved and lost and feared and all the things that make me human, I have experienced. 
Let's just let each other be and try to think 'I'm enough.' Because we bloody well are.

  • The @_stiall_ challenge asks people to shop their own wardrobes for 12 weeks so I've been looking at the things I don't wear that often and I actually love this combo of embellished neoprene and patterned flares. Fair play to @lindacstylist, you've really got me thinking about how much I have and don't wear.
