The quickest way to flawless nails!

Friday, December 2nd, 2011

During the past year we have seen a real rise in nail trends. Crackle nail polish burst onto the scene throwing us all into a nail art frenzy! Since then we have dabbled in tie-dye nails & even magnetic nail polishes.

For those of us who simply don’t have the time or patience to go dipping a sewing needle into nail polish to make designs there are of course, nail wraps!

The trend began with celebrities like Katy Perry, Alexa Cheung, Beyoncé and Rihanna leading the way so it’s no wonder they are quickly becoming a beauty must have!

With so many designs to choose from whether it be a block colour, animal print, lace or candy stripes you can make your nails look like little pieces of art with ease!

These little wonders only take 15 minutes to apply & last up to 7 days on nails & 8 weeks on toes! They don’t chip or stain will stay super glossy for the entire time you’re wearing them. You can get nail wraps at Topshop, Boots or online at Nail Rock .

Have you tried this new phenomenon?

Let us know your favourite design!

Fashion in the City!

Wednesday, November 30th, 2011

It’s exciting times for fashion lovers in Dublin. For anyone considering a career in the fashion industry it would have been assumed that you would have to travel abroad to study. Thanks to the wonderful people at Re-dress & of course the LA Team, this is no longer the case!

Dublin has an up & coming fashion scene & the LA Team are here to shine a little light on the subject & keep all you fashionistas informed whether its about new trends, up & coming designers or even fashion courses.

Re-dress was founded in 2008 with the mission to increase awareness in Ireland around ethical & environmentally sound purchasing. Founded by Rosie O’Reilly, Kellie Dalton & Kate Nolan, the aim was to promote the recycling of clothes & other textiles.

They offer a range of short courses & workshops including fashion skills, upcycling & embellishing to name a few!

Re-dress held a fashion breakfast yesterday in The Bailey Bar just off Grafton Street to launch the latest “Made in Ireland” Swing Tag to acknowledge fashion, jewelry & accessories produced in Ireland.

The swing tag will carry to ‘Made in Ireland’ logo allowing designers & retailers to promote fashion items that are produced in Ireland & will be visible in shops from the end of November.

Here at LA Studios, we think it’s about time someone gave Irish designers the recognition they deserve.

The LA Team are really looking forward to the New Year when we will be introducing our own fashion styling course! This course is FETAC accredited & will cover topics such as the history of fashion, training to be an image consultant, personal stylist, editorial stylist, visual merchandiser & more.
