use your Q to farm creeps that you think you might miss. But be wary as the enemy may harass you after you Q; particularly if Q doesn't kill the creep so you can't use it again to escape (by escape I mean use Q to go to another creep, to put distance between yourselves)

Early game, one level of W will help you sustain relatively well.

Use your R to farm creeps or to get last hits on fleeing enemies. Also try to use it on as many enemies as possible to maximize the heal earned from it.

Sometimes it is useful to lower your hp (so that it is less than the enemy's) before your jungler wants to gank. This will help you get a stun out instead of a slow. This is good as Irelia is naturally tanky so you wouldn't be putting yourself in much danger
