Your Image Matters

Charity Fashion Show in aid of Cancer Research. Had one of the best experiences guiding 9 wonderful ladies, to strut their stuff on the red carpet in 'Sea Point Restaurant' Monkstown, wearing clothes from the fabulous 'Soul Boutique' Glasthule then guests and models were serenaded by our well known singer Brian Kennedy. The sun shone brightly, as you can see from the photos. A very SPECIAL day was had by all.

Fridays Fashion Fix.


Heading to the races? It’s the one event in the year that can leave us at a loss as to what to wear because everything depends on the weather. You could start the day wearing a beautiful light summer outfit, bare tanned legs and a large picture hat looking elegant and chic. The weather changes and you end up with blue goose bump legs and arms, holding on to your hat while trying to sip a hot whiskey to keep yourself warm as you stilettos sink backwards into the grass.

As with any outdoor event in Ireland we do not have the luxury of consistent weather, so going well prepared for all it has to throw at us will help you enjoy the day right to the end. Here are some guidelines to help you.

• Try and bring a medium size soft clutch bag on a chain to leave your hands free, if the bag is of a soft fabric, you can fit in much more, like a rolled up pashmina or tights.
• What looks covered in the mirror in our bedrooms will show through when the bright sun shines down or the flash of a camera goes off in your direction. We recognize that mistake the second we see photos of ourselves. The outline of our legs visible through the dress, a slight pink shade showing around our chests, some polka dots or stripes peeking through on our behinds. Indoor lighting can be deceitful, always wear a slip if you have any doubt and always, always check your angles in different lighting situations.
• Tired of damaging your heels sinking into the grass and getting caught in cracks. Look up Solemates High Heeler, they say it’s the sole-ution to high heel hazards. These are excellent for any occasion.
• Lastly when wearing a pashmina, a great tip to keep it on is, firstly throw the pashmina over your left shoulder and let it hang down the back, bring the other end over your left shoulder from the back to the front. It really is the reverse of how everyone does it. Guaranteed not to budge.
