Cork Fashion Week 2015

This blog post is particularly close to my heart and a little different than my usual outfit posts.   I have had the pleasure and privilege of being involved in Cork Fashion Week since it's conception in 2009, and also of being very close friends with it's founders, the amazing women pictured above Emer (check out her blog Irish Fashaholic) and Vivienne.  I am amazed by the level of style and ingenuity CFW provides and the platform it creates for a meeting of like minded, fashion loving people to come together and share ideas.  I for one, was inspired!  

I must say my favourite collection of the night was from Dunnes stores.  This Irish owned department store has really upped it's game recently stocking local home grown designers such as Carolyn Donnely, and Lennon Courtney.  I will be running out and purchasing the silver and black Saint Laurant inspired boots and the faux fur stoles.

My outfit for the night was inspired by Parisian chic tulle and stripes.  Plus, I just love anything off the shoulder.  There was so much style in the room, I wish I could share it all with you!  Cheers to CFW, bringing style to Ireland! xo

Winter/ Spring

It's that awkward time of year when it's definatley still winter outside but all the stores are stocking spring clothes.  I am California dreaming - planning holidays and looking forward to longer days and warmer weather.  I picked up this striped dress and hat in H&M.  It's part of the new SS stock and would be great for holidays, but I also wanted to show how I would wear it with black tights, a belt and boots for colder weather.

I partnered with Campbell Jewellers in Dublin on this post and am wearing a Daniel Wellington watch from their store.  I love the rose gold face and the stripey band fit in with the holiday preppy Hampton's vibe I am feeling at the moment.  The great thing about Daniel Wellington watches is the variety of interchangable straps you can get in both striped fabric or leather.  I am excited to announce that Campbell Jewellers will be giving all my readers a 15% off discount on all purchases for the next 30 days (great before Valentines day, hint hint!).  Just use my code "thestyledoctor" on their website. xo
