Outfit one: Fifties cocktail dress

The dress was bought in Seoul, Korea. My shoes and hat were purchased in Japan. I love handmade pieces and the size is perfectly right. The sunglasses are by Tom Ford and my handbag was made in 1950 by Soure Bag New York.

Last time I wore it: This is my first time wearing this dress.

Favourite things about this outfit: This shamrock green piece caught my eye in the shop window. It’s a perfect piece for my upcoming birthday party event or a fine dining with my future Mr Right! It’s totally irresistible and all my girlfriends gave it the thumbs up.

Outfit two: Back to School - my college look, above.

My jacket is from TK Maxx. The skirt, beret and shoes all come from Japan.

My wicker luggage is from an open market at Bantry, Co. Cork

Last time I wore it: This is my first time wearing this dress.

Favourite things about this outfit: This is one of my favourite outfits and its style never dates.

I purchased the jacket at TK Maxx. It is really challenging to pick items at the stores but it is a real fun during hunting!

It’s an outdoor causal jacket and suits all weather for all pretty women in Ireland.

Outfit three: Country chic, right.

The trousers are from TK Maxx, My wellies were made in Israel by Dafna. The shirt is from Muji, a Japanese brand.

Last time I wore it: This is yet to be shown in public and has only been worn at home

Favourite things about this outfit: Overall, my outfits are very trendy and ready to wear but never too extravagant. Ireland is the most beautiful country in the world with 280 out of 360 days spent in damp and mild conditions. We also have to expect mild days sprinkled with rain showers. That’s why my surviving kit is made up of jackets, wellies, gloves, scarves and hats, as well as a few pairs of sunglasses.
