About Me

I grew up in Dublin, Ireland. After stints in London and San Francisco, I have settled in the Bay Area. Currently a freelance consultant, after in-house marketing gigs with Banana Republic, San Francisco, and Topshop, London. Huge passion for anything style related. Enjoy nothing more than perusing style blogs and fashion mags in search of those golden nuggets. I love to travel. When I’m home or away, I seek out museums, vintage stores, flea markets, food and wine. I love food (and to cook) - Alice Waters The Art of Simple Food, Epicurious.com and Taplehopper.com are my current foodie inspirations. The Bar Method is my obsession of the moment, nothing works better to get ready for White Jeans season - tuck, tuck, tuck.
