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.

Denim A Spring/Summer Update

Denim, does it ever really go out of style?  It's the one thing you're guaranteed to wear throughout the year but this season it's totally at the forefront of fashion. This season denim is not just reserved for jeans you'll find it in everything from skirts, shirts to dungarees and dresses.  I've been wearing these Mom fit jeans I picked up in H&M in Barcelona to death, they are so comfy and go with absolutely everything.  I just threw on my bright pink GAP jacket in this pic to keep myself warm while adding a pop of colour.  You may notice my dog Sadie was trying to get in on the selfie action.

Here's a few more of my favourite denim looks to inspire your Summer denim dressing.

This is a look I styled for a fashion show recently, I love the crisp white jeans paired with this River Island jacket.

Dungarees, chiffon blouse and a classic trench is such perfection. Trust Alexa to come up with this outfit.

Absolute outfit swoon, Olivia Palermo does double denim to perfection.

This street styler makes denim cutoffs look super grown up.

I adore this combination of leopard print and denim.

This look from eatsleepdenim.com is too cute!!

From the laid back super cute dungarees to the sleek double denim and leopard print there really is something for everyone no matter what your street style.

Fashionable Folk

I'm pretty rubbish at taking pictures of myself wearing clothes in a street style/blogger fashion, I've made my peace with that. I do however love a good street style snoop so I've decided to document all the marvellously dressed folk that I come across in my day to day life.

 First up is the always fabulously turned out Leona O' Sullivan Breen from Le Chat Noir Vintage Events and the Oh Me, Oh My DIY workshops. I love Leona's fab mix of vintage and high street which is always accessorized to perfection.

Tell me a little bit about the outfit:

Both tee shirt and skirt were purchases from the River Island summer sale this year, shoes are last year (or even the year before i think) Betty Jackson for debenhams..bag is from Zara....love to shop in all or our cities amazing vintage stores like Miss Daisy Blue, Turquoise Flamingo and Mercury Goes Retrograde and high street (H&M, Zara and River Island). I love etsy for unique jewellery ("Archie" gold bar chain from made by Mary etsy store) 

I'm incredibly nosy, give me an unknown interesting fact about yourself:

I don't like to brag but I did come second in a bonnie baby contest in carrigtohill in 1982..

Guurrlll you was robbed!!

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.....
