I'm thrilled to have you know I'm in love ........ with Dublin city ! I tend to wander the streets and being the curious creature that I am I always manage to discover hidden gems .
During the week I was strolling along Nassau st with my partner in crime Geraldine . We got to no.32 and she whisked me into the Morrisson Chambers . She wanted me to meet the lovely Eleanor who is the dashing lady behind Pearl beauty salon .
I was immediately captivated by this charming salon . What struck me most was the understated elegance and Eleanor 's infectious giggle .
I was doing my best to hide my normally perfectly manicured nails but alas having ditched my gels a few weeks earlier , my nail polish was disgracefully chipped !!!!
Eleanor would have to notice , and I felt humiliated ..... so I asked her about Shellac ." Yes I do Shellac nails however you're not getting them ! " she exclaimed . She insisted I give my poor nails a break and by the summer my nails would be healthy once again !
Wow ! Was I impressed that someone had failed to succumb to my charms and not give into my demands ! Instead she gave me the best manicure and painted my nails aubergine ... a rather divine colour that goes by the name Seduction ! I am thrilled with my nails . Following my ten year gel nail addiction I am happy to inform you that there is almost nothing sweeter than clicking on one's laptop and feeling your own fingertips !
I loved Eleanor's honest approach so much so that I booked in the following day for a Cyrstal Clear Microdermabrasion . My new best friend informed me this was an excellent treatment for the more mature skin !!!
We proceeded with the treatment and yes girls ..... I am glowing !!!!
I ❤ you Eleanor ! X

I had a photoshoot planned this week with the lovely Biba . I was on the hunt for a celestial blue room . More about this later in the week ...
I suddenly thought of TWI fabrics in mountjoy square . I arranged to meet with the charming Chris who immediately brought me through to this georgian building full of luscious fabrics and suddenly my focus shifted ! Rolls and rolls of fabric that I immediately wanted to wear !
As I walked through the main area I suddenly shreiked with delight .. Was that a metallic gold leather hide hanging from bannister ?
Chris was telling me TWI fabrics exists since 30 years , however I had eyes only for the never ending display of colours , fun furs , lames , laces , trimmings .... Perfect location for a Sacred Style shoot !
TWI is a haven for designers , fashion students and all mere creative mortals ! TWI can meet all your requirements from the cutting room to the catwalk . They have everything from machinery to fabrics to trimmings and accessories .
I was really impressed with books of designer fabrics Chris showed me . These sumptuous fabrics are to order and no crazy minimums required ! Chris will order 1 mt if required .
TWI 's competitive prices are also charming . I must admit I had not visited this wonderland of fabrics in a while but I know I'll be there soon because those metallic leathers will miss me !!!
TWI also have a shop @ 181 Parnell Street . Dublin 1 . Alas people , no more excuses ... with 2 shops in Dublin's city center , stroll down to TWI and I know you will enjoy !!!
A massive thank you Chris for showing me around the best fabric store in the world !
Merci X
