Holiday Style @TV3

Last Sunday I was at TV3 for one of my regular styling slots on the Sunday AM show which featured all your holiday packing essentials from Opera Lane.  We only spend about two weeks a year on our summer hols (if we're lucky) so I styled looks that could be adapted for home and away, for beach holiday and chic city break to make the most of your summer wardrobe.

Relaxed Brunch Styles @TV3

I've got quite a few blog posts to catch up on but I thought I'd start with some of my recent styling work on TV3's Sunday AM show.  I'm a big fan of catch ups with friends over brunch so I based these six looks from Opera Lane on smart casual day time dates.  I really struggled not to go out and buy all of these looks especially the gingham top from Topshop and the high waist chino trousers from Next.

Denim Delights at TV3

Last Saturday I was back at TV3 styling some of Springs hottest denim trends for Opera Lane.  Denim is something that I love to style as it's such a great base for lots of great colours and prints especially the yellows and blush pinks which are every where this season and go perfectly with modern stripes and leopard print.
 Here's a few pics from the show!

All prepped and ready for show time.

It's essential you get your picture taken in front of the TV3 wall....obviously.

Photoshoot

Here's a few behind the scene pics from a shoot I styled for Opera Lane which will feature in November's is due of RSVP Magazine.  The shoot took place in the amazing location of the Montenotte Hotel, I seriously recommend a visit here for lunch to check out the cool decor.
We had such a great team today and I really cannot wait to see these images!

10 Things You Didn't Know About Me

So the lovely Shell from Shell La Belle tagged me to do this post where I answer ten questions set by her which will hopefully give you a better idea of who I am.  I then have to set my own ten questions and tag another ten bloggers.  Simples! Here are my answers and my questions for my other blogger pals....enjoy! xx.

1.How long are you blogging?

I've been blogging kind of on and off for the last two years but have really only started properly doing it in the last year.  However I have to say with work being so hectic I sometimes find it hard to make the time for blogging.

2. What is your favourite shade of Lipstick?

I am all about the red lip! My fav is a red lipstick from Topshop.

3. Shoes or Handbag?

That's like picking a favourite child which I'm told is impossible!

4. What is your favourite film/TV show?

I'm a total TV and film addict.  I love having a good series on the go and some of my favs have been Game of Thrones, The Wire and The Walking Dead.  I also love anything trashy and reality TV so Big Brother, America's Next Top Model, Towie etc are all firm favourites of mine.  I have so many fav films depending on my mood, I also love fashion documentaries. I can't recommend Advanced Style on Netflix highly enough.

5. What is your top beauty tip? 

I don't really have any beauty tips but I do drink a lot of water which seems like a beauty tip.

6. What is our top 3 make up products?

Again I'm pretty low maintenance when it comes to make-up.  I do love the Topshop red lipstick, Topshop cream blush in Head Over Heels and Kevyn Aucoin bronzer.

7. Where would you like to live if you won the lotto?

I'd still live in Cork but I'd also have houses in London and a little holiday place in Barcelona, Krakow and somewhere beachy. I think I need to win the Euromillions.

8. What is your dream job?

I have to say I absolutely love the job I have! Styling and personal shopping is my dream but of course I'd love to work with some major fashion house.

9.  What is your favourite dessert?

Not really a major dessert person but my granny makes a dessert involving swiss role, cream and custard which is delish.

10. What camera do you use?

I use the camera in my phone a lot but also have a Nikon D3100 which my boyfriend bought me for my 30th.

Well there you go!

Amazing Grace

I've been mad busy the last few weeks so I feel like I haven't posted anything in ages and that's probably because I haven't!!  I've been doing some really interesting shoots of late and so I have loads of cool pics waiting to be uploaded.  Here's one that I did not so long ago with the beautiful Grace Gray from Lockdown Models and the super talented snapper Kestutis Anuzis .  This shoot was pulled together at the last minute but everything just worked brilliantly together from the gorgeous pieces from Miss Daisy Blue to the locations that we scouted just by strolling around town together. 

Hope you like them.....
