Escapism with Heart and Soul

Author: Colette Fitzpatrick

Hey! I'm Editor-in-Chief and Fashion Ed of Bean Magazine, Colette Fitzpatrick. I am a writer, crier, over-thinker and soft-touch from Kildare who has lived in, and loved, Dublin since university. Fashion is my problematic first love but I also adore talking about art, food, travel, music and much more besides! Bean Magazine was my brain child, born from the frustration at my own limited creative outlets and those of the awesome, beautiful and talented women in my life. We wanted to create a space for other women like us, who need somewhere that inspires joy and happiness, while never ignoring the important issues facing women in Ireland today. This is that space. I hope Bean Magazine will become a community that will encourage new friendships, adventures and fulfillment. I've been blogging for over five years and it has changed my life and I'd love to give a little bit of that to all of you, too! Follow me to the front row of fashion week across two continents, on romantic getaways with best friends, to the best cafes, bars and restaurants in Dublin, to the most amazing exhibitions and more...I've got loads that I can't wait to show you.
