Where The Wild Things Are

Por: Ophelia Ford | 0 comments |

I didn't have much of a conventional childhood at all, so any time there is huge nostalgic hype regarding iconic milestones from our youth, I often find myself at quite a loss as to what the big deal is.

So today I ventured out on my lunch break and bought "Where The Wild Things Are" before it became any more obvious how out of the loop I am.

I'm really looking forward to going home, making a cup of hot chocolate and giving it a peep!

Even though I don't know what all the hype is about, I do know if Opening Ceremony are going to do a collaboration with Spike Jonze, in ode to his cinematic portrayl of the book, it can't be all that disappointing.

Any Irish "Where The Wild Things Are" fans can look forward to BT2 and BTKids marking the release of the movie in early December. I'll be sure to keep you guys updated!

The Haunted Tree

Por: Ophelia Ford | 0 comments |

Ok I promise Ophelia Ford isn't turning into an American Apparel shrine or anything, I just really want to share all these great pics.

They're pretty much what's inspiring me these days. "The Haunted Tree" featuring Britney below is really cool. I don't really know how else to describe it.

The boys in Back Stock are claiming Britney's a porn star though! I really hope not... As if the Sheer Luxe Cut-Out Pantyhose featuring Sasha Grey aren't bad enough!

I really love the new direction American Apparel is taking itself these days and am so excited to be a part of the whole process.

Any time I log onto the website, there's always something new and exciting waiting there to surprise me.

Like the pictures shown below. So chic and elegant, but still that little bit quirky.

BT2 AW09

I'm really excited about starting back to my internship in the Brown Thomas Marketing & Communications Department tomorrow.

On top of working full time as a Key Holder in American Apparel, I will be interning for Brown Thomas and BT2 Marketing one day a week.

So expect lots of updates on the amazing events both stores will be holding in the run up to Christmas!


The above pictures are taken from BT2's AW09 shoot. I absolutely adore them!

Vogue Italia

This editorial shot by Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia July 2007, featuring Missy Rayder, Lara Stone, Agyness Deyn, Sasha Pivovarova, Guinevere Van Seenus and JUSTIN BOBBY to name but a few, is nearly three years old, but still resonates as one of my favorite editorials of all time.


I have my friend and colleague Ana Kinsella of Ripped Knees to thank for discovering this editorial. I absolutely adore Ana's blog, check it out if you aren't an avid fan already. She is unbelievably articulate and churns out some of the most interesting blog posts online.

Pictures sourced through Ripped Knees.

Stellar Shoot

Por: Ophelia Ford | 5 comments |

Yesterday I had the privilege of taking part in an interview and photoshoot for a ten page spread on Irish fashion bloggers in the upcoming December issue of STELLAR Magazine.

I was accompanied on the shoot by fellow bloggers Arsheen of Fashion Filosofy, Catherine of OffShoot, Laura of Whisty Blogs Dublin Fashion, Blanaid of Blanaid, Laura of The Stylebitches, Jessica of Get Your Frocks Off and Leonn of Cosmo-Sparkle.

Whilst the former five bloggers and myself are old pros, Jessica and Leonn are new to the blogging game and the article is going to showcase the growing trend of fashion blogging in Ireland.


It was an absolutely fantastic day, styled by Corina Gaffey of STELLAR and photographed by the infamous Lili Forberg.

Pictured above is my friend and American Apparel colleague Leonn of Cosmo-Sparkle, the blog I told her she should start, in order to showcase her fabulous fashion sense and sparkling writing style.

I wore the Christopher Kane for Topshop Embellished Body, an American Apparel Bandeau Pencil Dress as a mini-skirt, the American Apparel High Waist Zipper Leggings and flat River Island Lace Up Ankle Boots.

I looked a bit gothic all in black, but brightened it up with fuchsia pink lipstick and took the edge off with messy tousled hair.

So excited to see the final result!

If Only Every Day Could Be This Way

Por: Ophelia Ford | 0 comments |

I never post videos on Ophelia Ford because I usually couldn't be bothered looking at clips on other people's blogs.

But then my best friend Emma Fraser showed me this and I just had to share.

Possibly one of my favorite things in the whole entire world. Take a peek.

I don't know what it is, it just makes me so happy and excited and ready to take on the world, with a spring in my step.

California Select Lookbook

Along with work and neglecting poor old Ophelia Ford, I've been writing American Apparel Dublin's contributions toward the California Select Blog.

Click here to view my co-workers pose in the latest vintage treasures that can now be found in store.


The California Select AW09 Lookbook, excerpts of which are pictured above, is absolutely fantastic and one of the many signs that American Apparel is moving in a much more refined and elegant direction.

Be Right Back

Por: Ophelia Ford | 3 comments |

This summer has been crazy and exciting and so many new opportunities have unfolded during recent times.

So I think its about right Ophelia Ford Dublin gets a brand new make-over to celebrate what has happened and what is to come.


I've really neglected the blog lately and with a fresh new look and layout comes a more solid routine that will allow for improved consistency, which is what you guys deserve. I'm really excited about getting restarted and rebooted.

I'll be right back with amazing new content and I hope you guys can stick around for some fun and frolics.
