I adore the below swimsuit. Everything from the panelling to the shape ensures that this kind of beachwear would flatter a wide variety of body sizes. The necklace is from Cotton Face Vintage.
Check out this plush tartan A/W 2013 look I styled. The jacket + tartan shorts are from River Island. The cool cowgirl neckpiece is from Cotton Face Vintage. Laura really works this look.
The next look is from high end Enniscorthy boutique Cloze and Shooz. I teamed a French Connection jumper with light blue denim jeans for a simple daytime look.
The final look is also from Cloze and Shooz. An elegant black jacket with gold button detail teamed with a black bodycon dress makes a ladylike statement and showcases a feminine silhouette.
I hope you liked the looks. To check out the rest of my styling portfolio click here

All the footwear I pulled for the shoot are from Buffalo Dublin located on Exchequer Street. They "scour the globe to bring you the best brands and prices for the most fashion savvy customer!" Their shoes are colourful, fun, sporty and stylish. The runners I selected compliment so many outfits and are not only comfortable and great quality but make a style statement. You can check out their new stock on facebook by clicking here. My inspiration for the shoot was sexy street style with a 90's twist. I wanted to showcase the models in a provocative but funky way.
Check out the press cutting from the Irish Daily Star:
After the shoot I went to the Marker Hotel Rooftop Bar for a my best friend Saras Birthday. We also stayed over and had a brilliant weekend.The view from 'The Marker' is magical at night! It had been a hectic but great day shooting with Evan, Alan and the models. I love the finished shots.
There is nothing yummier and relaxing than breakfast in bed with a paper! It is always a delight to see shoots I have styled in print.
I would like to say a huge thank you to 'Buffalo Dublin' and '9 Crow St' for providing such great attire and footwear. I am styling a really cool '9 Crow St' shoot this week photographed by Alex Hutchinson Photography on Thursday. I am really excited for it. It will be really edgy and quirky - All in '9 Crow St' HQ are very creative and imaginative so collectively coming up with concepts for the shoot is very inspiring - stay tuned! Last Friday I pulled a variety of '9 Crow St' stock for a male shoot in Dublin's city centre. The models were Ricky Mangala + Adam Gaffey and the grunge shoot was photographed by Ralph Mc Keon. Here is a sneak peek...
Until next time...

There are some shoots that are really interesting to style. I loved styling Assets model Holly Keating for a shoot with top fashion photographer Alex Hutchinson in his studio in Dublin. The look was ethereally beautiful, vulnerable and minimalist. I teamed simple attire such as a black cotton tank, navy silk navy babydoll dress, floaty dreamy tunic and for another shot the model sported an opened sequinned vintage blazer. I have worked with Holly on different press shoots as of late but I feel this shoot showcased a whole different side to the Dublin model.
Aimee Connolly did the make up and hair for our shoot. Me and Aimee have worked on so many shoots and projects together - she is a gifted make up artist. We had some fun with my new 'Selfie' iPhone cover I had been posted as a gift from the lovely folks at New Look PR. I don't think we should quit the day job...
But we had to sneakily include everyone in our 'selfies' against their will or not - even Alex who just isn't the selfie type!
Sitting on the sidelines of the shoot means pulling and tapering the clothing so they hug the model's body in a picturesque way. It takes a while to adjust all the little things as the model varies her posing. I adore the way the items fell on Holly's petite frame. They looked effortlessly chic because she oozes confidence. These shots are very feminine and dreamy.
