Happy Birthday Marc Jacobs!



If there's one designer we love here at siopaella it's Marc Jacobs, and we know all of you love him too - the last satchel consigned to us sold in two minutes FLAT!! Well the man himself is turning 50 today, if you can believe it to look at him!

Style Off!

It may be the beginning of the week but after our seriously busy weekend at the Dog's Life sale, we're already dreaming of Saturday night! So today's Style Off is comparing two very different, but very lovely night out looks.

A Dog's Life Auctions!


We're starting our Facebook auctions for our A Dog's Life sale today! All of our great pieces are ready to go, are you? 

We'v got auction pieces from Marc by Marc Jacobs, Yohji Yamamoto, Max Mara, Hobbs, John Roacha and loads more, so if you can't make it in to Sunday's sale be sure to keep an eye on our Facebook page over the next two days!

Oh and remember you'll need a PayPal account to pay for your winnings, so if you don't have one set up then go, go, go!

We are aiming to raise over €2,000 which is what we raised last time and I just want to say a massive thank you to our generous consignors and everyone who dropped things in

Oh the Great Gatsby fashion!


I am so excited for May and the release of the Great Gatsby (this coming from a girl who hasn't been to the cinema since the Inbetweeners movie!). The book is a brilliant and beautiful but come on, Baz Luhrmann, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, even an Amy Winehouse track ... the movie is going to be epic!

Fashion News: Marilyn Manson for Saint Laurent Paris


I think Yves Saint Laurent is going through its teenage, rebellious period. Four big things have happened at the brand recently; firstly Hedi Slimane was named creative director. Then he changed the name to Saint Laurent Paris. Thirdly, he took the brand back to the 90's with his grunge AW'13 show. And finally Marilyn Manson seems to have been made their menswear campaign star.

Catwalk Cravings ...



Simone Rocha



She basically hasn't done any wrong since she burst onto the London Fashion Week schedule but this look might just be my favourite (apart from some of the AW'13 pieces, but let's get through spring first!). 

Style Off!


Mini vs Maxi



Proof that changing one piece can give a totally different look - but the important question is, which one is your favourite?

The Wedding Debate


We've had so many customers in looking for wedding outfits that I had to do a bit of a Style Off. 

Style Off!


Minimalist vs Maximalist


Two looks that are always in style one way or another - simple, clean lines or bright pops of print. So what side of the fence do you fall on? Are you all about the basics or do you pack as much colour into your look as possible?

Why Shopping Consignment is Awesome!


... in our very un-biased opinion!!





Vintage had it's moment a couple of years ago, now it's all about the consignment stores! Although they're a pretty new concept in Ireland the uptake we've seen has been amazing, by both consigners and customers!
