TV3 Summer Occasion Wear

After spending the spring in hibernation we all start to have wardrobe dilemmas when all the summer wedding invites roll in or when we have loads of events to go to.  I styled six looks on TV3s Sunday AM show featuring show stopping dresses, suits and accessories perfect for those summer events from Simply Suits, Vanilla Boutique and Vanilla Shoe Boutique with Lockdown Models and Andrea Roche Model Agency.

Spring Delights for RSVP

I'm so happy to share with you these images from the March edition of RSVP magazine where I got to style the inspirational writer and presenter Andrea Hayes in looks from the Spring collections on Opera Lane in the beautiful surroundings of The Montenotte Hotel.

Saturday AM Show: Transitional Dressing

Hey guys,

So just getting around to posting a few pics from my styling segment on TV3s Sunday AM show which was aired on Sunday the 11th.  The theme was transitional dressing and I think it's something that stresses a lot of us out when the weather plays havoc with our wardrobe choices.  All the looks were chosen from Douglas Court Shopping Centre and I have to say they have such a great selection of shops out there.  

Hope you enjoy the pics!

Saturday AM Show

Last Saturday I had one of my regular styling slots on TV3's Saturday AM show.  I showcased 6 looks from Opera Lane showing how to dress for your summer holidays!

There's something about packing for holidays which fills us with dread but by choosing some staples you can take the stress out of putting together your summer looks.

Models were from Assets Model Agency.

A Very Fantastical Photoshoot

I've been a bit quiet on the blogging front recently as I've had a lot going on work wise and have been travelling up to Dublin quite a bit but I've finally managed to take a day to work from home so I've been catching up on paperwork and doing some much needed blog posts.  I really wanted to share these images from a shoot I styled a little while back with an amazing team of fellow creatives.  Along with designer Samantha Kennedy and photographer Simon Curran we came up with the concept of a character who transformed from being something quite simple to being almost like a woodland queen or warrior.

We started off with styling, hair and make-up being quite pared back and with each image built up the layers of the character.  As always I had great fun shooting with this awesome team and I hope you enjoy our work.

My New Business Venture

As a lot of you may know I am a total accessory addict and one of my major weaknesses is jewels and brightly coloured baubles.  I got to know the Stella and Dot brand a few months ago and really loved their collections.  So I'm delighted to announce that I now have my own Stella and Dot e-commerce site where you can shop all my fav jewellery and accessory styles.

I'll be posting up my pick of pieces in the next few days but in the meantime take a pick at all the lovely bits on the website Stella and Dot/Natasha Crowley.  For all you magpies out there beware, there is some serious temptation here!

De Loup A/W’13 Collection

I first came across De Loup Designs last year when I borrowed some of her amazing pieces for a photoshoot I was styling.  Her new A/W ’13 collection entitled “Chatoyez” is to die for as Amy descibes it herself is a mixture of  sophisticated metallics with grungey undertones.  I’ve already earmarked a few pieces that I need in my wardrobe so here are my top picks.

Capelet

Hex Necklace

Bisou Clutch

Twist Headwarmers

 Louche Bag

Stockists include :

Atelier 27, Drury St Dublin 2

Tamp & Stitch, Scarlet Row, Essex St West, Temple Bar, Dublin.

Mr. Ennis 2013

A few weeks ago I hit the town of Ennis to judge the Mr.Ennis contest which is now in it’s second year.  The contest was started as a charity even by my good friend Timmie Murphy when he won the Mr.Gay Clare event and the gorgeous Hazel McMahon who was the the reigning Miss Clare.  I’m more used to the glitz and glam of the Miss Universe Cork pageant so I was interested to see what a male pageant would be like.  Let me tell you it did not disappoint and I had one of the best nights ever with plenty of fun and cheeky chappie behaviour galore.

The contestants looking amazing in their suits.

                                                                 Looking all serious at deliberation time.

There was also a prize for best dressed on the night and last years winner and fellow blogger Mikie O’ Loughlin of mystylemykey were tasked with the difficult decision of who to pick.

                                                                                    Blogger Love!!

The worthy winners.

I have to say I felt like I was walking the red carpet at the Oscars due to my amazing dress from The Dress Bar.  It was so something that I wouldn’t normally wear but the minute I put it on I had that ‘this is the one’ moment.

 Roll on next year!!
