Fashion: Press Breakfast for Lucy Nagle AW15 and Stella & Dot
Lucy Nagle and Stella & Dot AW15
Press Preview // Location: The Dylan Hotel, Dublin 4
In the chic surroundings of the Dylan Hotel the latest collections from Lucy Nagle and Stella & Dot were unveiled. After some some delicious breakfast treats, fresh coffee and a catch up with all the girls I couldn't wait to see what Lucy Nagle and S&D had lined up for AW!
My own personal style is quite casual and Lucy Nagle is a label I personally love since launching in 2013. I purchased a Lucy Nagle cashmere sweater from the first collection and it is quite possible one of my favourite pieces in my wardrobe. Light enough to wear yet luxurious to touch and so warm, perfectly suitable for all year and the Irish climate!

Lucy Nagle gives us what we really want offering amazing quality fabrics at competitive prices yet each piece has that touch of difference making them instantly stand out from the crowd.
The AW Collection, which is now available in Brown Thomas, has a strong presence of grey with some bursts of striking bold pink. Stars, Hearts, Elbow patches, colour blocking and even some stripes gives this collection a point of difference yet reflects Lucy's true signature style.
If I had to pick just two items from the collection it would be the chunky cowl neck jumper and the most amazing cashmere star print joggers!
Stella & Dot showcased once again the most beautiful pieces. Unfortunately I am unable to post images until their released date so I will do another post nearer the time! Expect to see show stopping statement pieces with some very clever multi wear options, stunning delicates and even some tassels!
In the meantime be sure to check out their current collection, you won't be disappointed! See here.

Travel: Amsterdam
Ultimate Guide to Amsterdam
Travel // Amsterdam
Amsterdam, where do I begin?! I love every inch of this beautiful city. Typically what springs to mind for most is Stag parties, Coffee Shops and the infamous Red Light District. True Amsterdam could not be more opposite! Amsterdam is one of my favourite cities to escape to! I love it's laid back attitude and the impeccable sense of style both in Fashion and Interiors! Amsterdam is a like an enchanted maze filled with quirky shops, fresh flowers, captivating canals and hundreds of little bridges. With a flight time of just over an hour from Dublin you will find the prettiest city full of Culture, Arts, shopping and great value for money.
The city itself is quaint, charming and compact! Everything is within walking distance! Holland is the world's leading suppliers of flowers so expect to see the most beautiful flower stalls on every corner you turn and the most amazing Flower Markets! Here is my Best of The Dam! Enjoy, Ciara x

The Okura Hotel, located near the Financial and Fashion District of Amsterdam, is one of the cities tallest buildings. Away from the Hustle and Bustle it is the perfect location with the most amazing views of the city.

Style Tip // Comfort is key and casual cool is what the Dutch do best! My Key look for day time is some ripped denim, a cotton tee, leather biker or blazer and my New Balance!
Travel Tip // Book in advance a couple of months and get flights direct from Dublin with Aerlingus from just €39.99!
Travel Tip // Its water over land here so Bikes & Trams are the favoured and in most parts the only choice of transport. Pack comfortable and flat shoes!!
