So ruffles were created to hide the flaws?  Well, I don’t believe so, however it is an added bonus that sometimes a ruffle dress can be a lifesaver at times when we may have exerted ourselves or plan on doing so.  Ladies take note.  Yes it is far easier to get away with a ruffley skirt or dress as opposed to an ultra tight waist cinching body con.  All that sucking in is sooo hard! With Summer here (well… it is outside my window!)  it’s time to get girly and embrace the ruffle.  Although it’s not a look suited to all body shapes, as Vera Farmiga highlighted at this years Oscars wearing Marchesa, it can be adapted quite easily.  RareFashion.co.uk’s new Spring Summer range is packed with so many gorgeous girly ruffles your bound to find the ruffle of your dreams!

For those of you not ready to go full on ruffle take a look at this cute tiered top.  Perfect for Summer and beautifully feminine.  Just add shorts and flip flops!  €34!

This girly pastel dress is perfect for all things Summer whether it’s an outdoor bbq or a night out with the girls!  At €45 we are saying yes please!  Pair this lovely with nude booties and your ready to go!

I can’t get enough of Rare’s new collections and I’ll definitely be adding this to my wardrobe.  A fab strapless, tiered white dress.  At €61 you won’t feel too bad when Summer is over!  Be careful though, it’s very…. white!

Check out this little cutie.  A ruffle skirt with cinched in waist for those of you who would like to combine both trends!  This dress is so versatile and costs just €60! Pumps, flops or killer heels, this dress can accompany all three.  Wear it with a fab cardi, cool pashmina or simply on its own!

Calling all varnish addicts, there’s a new Illamasqua range of nail polishes due out soon and available exclusively at BT2 Grafton Street.

What an absolute delight for us when we caught a sneak peek at the new Illamasqua range of pastel nail polishes.  Many of these colours we have just seen on the runways and they are translating to the streets.  They will work well this Summer with floral or colourful print dresses and pastel painted tootsies!  Available in four different ice-cream colours with equally colourful names – Blow, Wink, Nudge and Caress. The four polishes are described as ‘gorgeously creamy and long lasting’.  Wow.ie may put these varnishes to the test so watch this space.  The polishes are priced at €15 and are available from the 15th of March.
