Hi, I’m Jill and welcome to my website!
I have to admit I really don’t know where to start here but I wanted to put something up to explain a little about me and I thought I’d update it over time – so please pop back!
I regularly host workshops for adults and teenagers on a variety of topics with a view to helping everyone gain confidence in their own style choices, be it in fashion or for their home. My mission in life is to INSPIRE INDIVIDUALITY. Who wants to be like everyone else!?!
Ok I’ll admit it… I’m kind of a geek when it comes to certain things. But that’s ok… aren’t we geeks supposed to be chic right now?
There is nothing better than walking into a shop filled with folders, paper, card, boxes, pens, pencils, and ANYTHING that will make boring everyday items pretty!! Right?
All parties… any parties! I love the planning, the tablestyling, the dressing up, the cocktails… all of it! Oh did you say you wanted to have a party?
I am the type of person who wakes up in the middle of the night and has to run around to find a piece of paper to write down an idea. There is nothing better than the feeling of accomplishment when you create something for someone (or yourself) and they just adore it. I just love designing and making outfits for myself!
I have been known to do a little happy dance when I come across a complete bargain. It could be clothes or something for the house. I will buy something that’s not quite right if I love it, and just make it work. It’s amazing what thinking outside the box can do – a change of buttons and a belt, or a lick of paint – if it’s fabulous AND a bargain I must have it. Also, I think I may have a candlestick problem.
I can be, and have been, inspired by the most random things and my husband has learned over the years to not bother asking anymore when I start “Squee!!”-ing to myself in a shop. Our house is filled with random objects that serve absolutely no purpose, but I think are beautiful.
I have a computer degree • I’m Irish, from Waterford City, went to college and met my husband in Dublin City University and settled in Naas, Co. Kildare • I have two beautiful kooky daughters • I’m partial to an over-the-top accessory • I believe there is beauty in symmetry • I really hate having to wear glasses • I could quite happily live in a TK MAXX store!!
