As little girls we all look up to movie stars. For me I always wanted to be a mixture of Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly. I loved Marilyn's liner flick, red lip and bright smile but Grace Kelly exuded a class with her style that instilled in me a deep love and appreciation for timeless vintage. Fashion is like one big circle but the repetition isn't necessarily a drag when little tweaks and nods to the old mixed with modern design is a marriage made in heaven. For the
Dublin Horse Show Dundrum Town Centre Ladies Day I was very proud to collaborate with Harvey Nichols by wearing a stunning staple from next season's collection from
Pinko. My teal belted two piece had a rust chevron stripe, felt very 1940's but more importantly made me feel like a million dollars. For me confidence is key when attending an event or representing a brand.
I finished the look with a
Palles Millinery half moon rose gold sequinned head piece. This can be worn several ways but I liked it with the flower detail face framing with my Pinko ensemble. My slingback nude matte heels are brand new in for River Island AW15.
My fab friend
Conor Merriman (pictured above!) was doing illustrations on the day in the VIP Suite for Dundrum Town Centre and sketched my Harvey Nichols Dublin Pinko look - It is such a special memory to have of the day! Here is a close up I took on my snapchat.

I have a pretty hectic work schedule - I love being freelance and my own agent but I know it's not for everybody. I juggle styling shoots and TV adverts, covering events, working in radio, blogging, teaching and personal shopping in Dundrum! There is no personal shopping in Dundrum during the Summer with the sales in full swing but I'm available again from mid September for autumnal wardrobe updates, etc. and appointments are already filling up well in advance which is really exciting! To book you can call
01 299 1700 or email
customerservice@dundrum.ie.
Straight after mingling at the Dublin Horse Show I had to quickly change and dash from the RDS to teach a masterclass at the
LA College of Creative Arts where I have recently joined their team as a Fashion Styling Tutor. It was an open evening where I talked all about my experiences in the industry, my love of fashion, blogging, from catwalk to high street, the importance of PR and how to build a career in the business. I styled my model
Sarah in a casual 70's look to showcase a blend of high street and vintage. The next time I'm teaching a 'Fashion Styling 101' masterclass is on September 15th - If you have any queries about courses feel free to drop me a mail or email

Well I'm going to go and pack my suitcase as I have some travelling to do tomorrow and a really big work week ahead. I spent the weekend with family and it was so fun to see my sisters and chill out. It was a great way to wind down after a manic few days.
Night night & I hope you all have a fabulous week!
