MARK ANDREW ADAMS ..... A MAN AT WORK !



Sometimes life is extraordinary ! Recently when Biba and I met the charming Mark Andrew Adams we shared the same thought ... We  have to shoot  this guy , it would be so rude not to !!!

We immediately put a date on the shoot and chose a location . I was so looking forward to shooting a guy . Most of you will think there is no need to style a guy  . So wrong !!!  Biba and I have decided to take on the male population in Ireland and create fashion  shoots worthy of submission to Vogue Uomo Italia.     Both of us have a dear love for beautiful men !  Biba is currently doing some great work with  professionale boxers . I love working with this girl because she has a sharp eye for detail and our shoots are always pain free  and fun . She has the ability to put our models at  total ease . Mark did not flinch once when she asked him to remove his clothes ..... And I was of course delighted ! Mark's  spectacles  needed constant adjusting , and I was only to happy to attend to my duties .......
Mark , you're a total sweetheart and adorable , we both enjoyed working with you and hope you love the photos as much as we do . X





Mark wears a gorgeous jacket from Indigo and Cloth .
When I chat with guys in Dublin they always tell me there are no cool menswear stores in this city . Not true !   I never have any difficulty shopping for men or women  , though sometimes I would prefer for it not to be as easy ! .

  My ultimate store for guys  is Indigo and Cloth . Situated in a basement in south william street , this store has the coolest menswear in the country . Acually I love everything about this place  including the edgy ladies collections . Gareth the owner  will happily point out if you're looking for bling bling and sparkly this is not the shop for you ! I picked a simple black dress from the rail and I just  knew it would drape and skim the body in all the right places !

Sorry guys , I've drifted ... lets get back to you . I would suggest you get your cute bums to this store asap . The space is funky and edgy and I love the energy . Its the type of store I usually find in Paris and London , minus the pompous attitude .The lovely Gareth knows his product inside out and will happily chat and suggest suitable pieces for you .

Gareth darling .... loving your work and enthusiasm for beautiful and  discreet clothes for men and women !

PS : The new magazine corner ........ J'adore !

Now I know I always rant about Harlequin . But only because I always manage to find what I 'm looking for . During Mark's shoot I suddenly realised he would look amazing in a panama hat and a silk scarf . After a brief think , I went to Harlequin where Fiona is always so helpful . She had everything I needed and more . Their menswear is in the basement and I found the perfect wool tailoured waistcoat for Mark . Guys this place is perfect if you have a great eye and a small budget . Harlequin have a superb selection of hats and vintage ties .


Its the type of place where I would love to organise a lock-in ! An ali baba cave crammed with lots of irresistible clothes and accessories for boys and girls !

Lots of kisses to Susan and Fiona   ❤











I do love my spectacles as you all know and altough I would normally do most of my glass shopping in Rome  I am  now very fond of Optilase in Dublin .

They have a spectacular collection
of brands , including the gorgeous Cutler and Gross which rates high in my love stakes !

Rachel or Steven will happily show off their catalogue and the choice of colour is almost over whelming !!

Another one of my sweethearts is PattiPaillette . 
You need to see this girls ..... very very cute !!
    
                     ❤

@ Darling  Mark , I must say  the emerald green Cutler and Gross frame was so gorgeous on ya  !!
 
                     ❤
Mark's gorgeous shoes are Lanvin for H+M .
Just a little note on this collection  Menswear = Totally Divine !
Ladieswear = Soso !



The queing system was fairly ridiculous and 15mins to shop only ..... Amusing if nothing else
!!!!

As you know I am a lover of contradictions .... Therefore a
slick guy in a sharp suit will of course require some rock'n
roll jewellry . Where ?  Genius of course ! This store is
reknowned for their casual gear , jeans and hoodies etc .
They also stock an incredible range of watches and jewellry for men !
I fell in love with a gorgeous watch from Fossil . Big
face on a chunky luscious red leather strap that was so perfect
for my styling intentions with Mark.

A man's choice of watch is detrimental to his charisma .
One of the sexiest part's of a man is a tanned wrist with
a bold chunky timepiece . An ostentacious watch will always
set my pulse racing !

Leather bracelets and chunky link bracelets from Diesel ,
Fossil and Stream also delighted me .

And if like me you don't want to see another Dolce and Gabbana
rosary bead , check out Uno . Silver chains with
ornate crosses to die for !

Genius also stock cool leather trainers which are so right
worn with a sharp suit , a black  v neck t-shirt +heavy wrist jewels .
A man must always smell good and my favorite scent at the moment is
Terre D' Hermes . Not to be sprayed sparingly .....Lots si 'l vous plait !!
                                                                             
A huge thank you to all at The Westbury Hotel . XXXX

Bisous

Biba  + Mark ... I had so much  fun with you . Lots of love . ❤
