NEW YEAR, FRESH START</h3>
Good to be back on my blogg!! <br />
<br />
I haven't posted for a while, laying low on here after loosing my amazing Mum in 2018. Massive change for us all to adjust to. My Mum taught me how to sew in 1st Class and she never ceased to be my inspiration and encouragement throughout my career and everything else besides.<br />
<br />
To ease myself back I have put together some of my favourite looks from last year which I designed at my studio.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.ascot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Royal Ascot</a> is THE place to be to hat watch and there are some new trends on show.<br />
<br />

Every year I have the pleasure of designing a hat for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mandy.maher.56" target="_blank">Mandy Maher</a> from Catwalk Modelling Agency. I choose a block yellow straw and silk headband style here trimmed with butterflies which work perfectly with her fab suit and yellow sandals. </div>

Wedding Style Tips 2019</h2>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Each year fashion trends change but there are basic guidelines we can all use no matter what the season. Here are some tips I use to help my wedding clients. I hope you find something useful for your special occasion!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Know your Style:-</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Do you know what style dress suits your shape? Classic shift dress, structured, a-line etc.. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Many ladies like a little sleeve or maybe a jacket over the dress. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We all love a flattering neckline that sits well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Consider the length of your dress, don't go too short, knee length or a little below is perfect.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Always buy the right size and be comfortable in your outfit. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Colour is Key:-</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What colours suit you? Soft pastels or bold tones such as cerise, royal or yellow?. Don't be afraid to go bold.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Yes it is okay to wear White or Ivory for Mother of the Bride but use a nice accent in your outfit or accessories. You can add soft golds and the hat design can transform this look for you to get the balance right.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Have your hat designed to complement your outfit and in a style that suits you. Wearing the perfectly dyed hat for your outfit always looks stunning. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Do you like veiling? some ladies love the idea of wearing veiling, just be careful not to cover your face and try it on to see if it suits you. I often incorporate veiling into my designs without using it over your eyes. </span><br />

<b>FRIDAY FAIR LADY</b></h2>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Looking back on the <a href="http://www.galwayraces.com/" target="_blank">Galway Races</a>, I put together a little blog from our Friday Fair Lady evening at the Races. Each year this Best Dressed Competition just gets better and better. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sponsored by <a href="http://www.athlonetowncentre.com/" target="_blank">Athlone Town Centre</a> it offers an amazing prize packet over €2,000 worth of prizes. The lucky lady receives a bespoke <a href="http://www.suziemahonydesigns.com/" target="_blank">Suzie Mahony Designs</a> Hat as part of her prize and lots of other goodies.</span><br />

LADIES DAY AT THE GALWAY RACES 2017</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a manic few weeks in the run up to the <a href="http://www.galwayraces.com/" target="_blank">Galway Races</a> this year. However much you plan your outfit for the day it always comes together at the last minute!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year for the first time in over 15 years I didn't attend ladies day!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Attending the races is brilliant but when your working right up until the Wednesday night late, you can only do so much. I was certainly there in spirit with lots of beautiful ladies wearing my hats. I attended the races on Friday and also a number of events during the week so I didn't miss out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love sharing some of the looks from my customers for Ladies Day. The biggest Ladies Day Competition in Ireland sponsored by <a href="http://www.theghotel.ie/" target="_blank">The g Hotel</a> Galway. Ladies wear hats every day now to the festival but I wanted to do a showcase for Ladies Day because there was such a variety of styles and hats on display. I love to see the complete look head to toe so here are a few for you to enjoy.</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Ladies attending Ladies Day are a very important part of the attraction and atmosphere and indeed the style for the overall week at Galway. I love the addition of the selfie wall this year, maybe we need another one near the Fashion Action!! </span><br />

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/susanpowerflan" target="_blank">Susan Flanagan</a> wearing all Ivory <a href="http://www.phoenixv.ie/" target="_blank">Phoenix_V</a> Dress with an accent of Gold. Her hat is embellished with ivory roses and gold silk swirls. Her LIPS gold clutch is also from my studio collection. Susan was also chosen as a finalist at the Galway Races Best Dressed Dressed Competition.<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">There is so much effort and planning for ladies for the day it is such a shame we only see a few chosen or highlighted. Social Media is probably the best forum to catch a glimpse of the style, wouldn't be great to see more of our Racing Ladies on the TV, a little balance like they achieve at other race meetings around the world.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">I was delighted to have customers picked for Best Dressed, designing hats for race meetings throughout Ireland and further afield for the past 15 years, it's still the one closest to home that is the sweetest!! Galway. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">The showcase of Millinery at the Galway Races puts us on the International Stage when it comes to quality bespoke designs. Looking forward to seeing even more as the racecourse continues its development for 2018. Exciting times ahead!!</span><br />

<h2>
<b>First Furlong Millinery Showcase 2017 </b></h2>
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The First Furlong Event is one of the highlight of Raceweek in Galway. Held each year on the Tuesday of Galway Race Week at the <a href="http://www.theardilaunhotel.ie/" target="_blank">Ardilaun Hotel</a>. Showcasing the best of Galway Millinery with <a href="http://www.catwalkmodels.ie/" target="_blank">Catwalk Modelling Agency</a> to a fabulous audience all in support of Breast Cancer Research. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been part of the event since it started, now in its 7th year and look forward to many more happy years supporting it. Organised by the brilliant team at the Ardilaun Hotel everyone is spoilt from once they arrive from 12 noon with sparkling wine drinks reception surrounded by the Guinness Jazz Band. Guests all dress up and wear hats ready for the Races and enjoy a sumptuous four course lunch with wine. </span><br />

I could have chosen any colour hat here from the stripes in the skirt but red is on trend this season and makes the look a little stronger.<br />

For my own Show I styled the models with hats, bags and jewellery to show a variety of what may work for your special day. By using plain cream and black jumpsuits this look set off the accessories perfectly. <br />

Nude Pink has to be one of the top tones this season for mother of the bride. Here I designed a nude pink silk percher hat for which I designed the block myself to maintain a unique finish. I have trimmed it with ivory veiling and silk swirls. I added a pale pink pearl bag which brightens the black jumpsuit and also ties the look together.<br />

My '<a href="http://www.suziemahonydesigns.com/" target="_blank">Wave' Design hats</a> are causing a stir this season as ladies take on the idea of wearing something very strong in shape and when created in block colours like this royal blue, can be very striking.<br />

Irish Designers Racing Shoot at Cloughan Castle!!</h2>
I was delighted to be part of this unique photoshoot on my own doorstep!!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.cloghancastle.ie/" target="_blank">Cloughan Castle</a> was the perfect setting on a beautiful sunny day for our Race Style Shoot featuring <a href="http://www.suziemahonydesigns.ie/" target="_blank">Suzie Mahony Designs</a> designer millinery with fashion from the spring summer 17 collection at <a href="https://www.aideenbodkin.com/" target="_blank">Aideen Bodkin</a> Fashion. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.cloghancastle.ie/" target="_blank">Cloughan Castle</a> is the venue you need to create an event that will be long remembered whether you're celebrating a private party, a romantic wedding or a business gathering. <br />
<br />
Photographer: <a href="http://joecreanphotography.com/" target="_blank">Joe Crean Photography</a> Styled by Suzie Mahony and Deirdre Kelly. <br />

We couldn't resist this beautiful shot, the main entrance to the Castle, surrounded by woodland with panoramic views of the Slieve Aughty Mountains.<br />

I used this very large extra wide brimmed hat in cerise with silk trim to highlight the detail in this lovely dress and the overall profile is very striking.<br />

Orange and Cerise. Striking two tone hat with floral and quill trim. This hat can be worn a few different ways. This is how I added more height to the look by having the hat to the side.<br />

Its official big hats are back for the Racing Season this year. I have used the hats here to bring out the colour and the detail of the dresses from the collection. We kept jewellery simple and elegant with neutral tones for shoes also so the full emphasis was on the outfits and hats. </div>

I am delighted to have been part of the First Furlong Event for the past 5 years. This event gives me the opportunity to showcase my Millinery designs at a special event where each of us Galway Millinery can highlight our unique hats. It is no secret that Galway is the capital of Millinery and at First Furlong you will see ample evidence of this with every lady wearing a hat on the day in a bid to secure the 'Raciest Lady' prize!! The launch was in the beautiful gardens of the <a href="http://www.theardilaunhotel.ie/" target="_blank">Ardilaun Hotel </a>in glorious sunshine. </div>

Pre Races Fashion Show</h2>
<div>

<div>
The scene was set for the first Pre Races Fashion Event at the <a href="http://www.oranmorelodge.ie/">Oranmore Lodge Hotel</a> on a glorious Sunday afternoon. With lots of bubbly, racing fashion and millinery it was the place to be to get your race style tips for <a href="http://www.galwayraces.com/">The Galway Races</a>. Ladies day at the Galway Races is the largest ladies day in Ireland so we need to plan in good time for our outfits and hats!!. The event was in aid of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/OranmoreMareeCoastalSearchUnit/">Oranmore Maree Coastal Search Unit.</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Special guest for the afternoon of fashion, hats and fun was Faith Amond. I've known Faith for a number of years, designing hats for her and she always looks effortlessly elegant at any race meeting. I was delighted when Faith scooped the prestigious best dressed prize at <a href="http://aintree.thejockeyclub.co.uk/">Aintree</a> last month walking away with a stunning Land Rover!! </div>

This year I am busy designing hats for Ascot and already processing orders for the <a href="http://www.galwayraces.com/">Galway Races</a> which is great. Designing the correct angle, shape and look for a client is key to the overall look. I love creating new designs and styling your complete look at my <a href="http://www.suziemahonydesigns.ie/" target="_blank">Suzie Mahony Designs</a> studio.<br />
<br />
All our models for the day are from Catwalk Modelling Agency, Fashion below from Olivia Danielle with hats from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/suziemahonydesigns/" target="_blank">Suzie Mahony Designs</a>. <br />
<h3>
Jumpsuit </h3>
Jumpsuits are now added to the 'allowed list' at Ascot this year for the first time. They are so comfortable and can look very classy. This pale blue and ivory lace jumpsuit below is teamed with Suzie Mahony Designs ivory hat trimmed with pearls and beading. A very simple elegant look. I love the little sleeve as well. <br />

The dress and coat combo will never go out of fashion. This red print stands out and with a block colour red hat or headpiece you can't go wrong. <br />

<br />
Every lady should have a black and white look in her wardrobe. If your heading to the races this suit is perfect. Beautiful texture. Pop a black and white hat with it to bring out the detail in the suit or even go all out with a striking black piece. Either would look fab here.<br />

<h3>
Colour!</h3>
I love this colour, rich turquoise but with just enough pink in my hat design to give the whole look a beautiful finish Again lovely textures in the quality clothing and the hat shape works well here giving the whole look a real classy edge.<br />

Designing a hat that works for them and the occasion.<br /><br />Ascot set the dress code rules each year and these rules are respected and adhered to which gives us all the fabulous spectacle that is Ascot!!. <br /><br />Each enclosure within Ascot Racecourse has a different character and dress code, from <a href="https://www.ascot.co.uk/royalenclosure">The Royal Enclosure</a>, Queen Anne Enclosure, Windsor Enclosure and Village Enclosure. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />The outfits and hats at Ascot are as talked about as the racing itself. Keeping up with current fashion trends this year Ascot have added the Jumpsuit as part of the allowed dress code list. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Make sure it sits comfortably and securely on your head. Attending Ascot is not the time to be fiddling with your hat, you must wear it at all times so try it on beforehand. Extra elastics or headband options can be done to avoid any problems when you get there.</span><br />

Wedding Styling and Millinery with Suzie Mahony Designs</h2>
<br />
Styling ladies for their family weddings is something I have enjoyed throughout my Millinery career. It should be an enjoyable experience for your son or daughters wedding, but all too often we see the cracks of stress creeping in!! And the search for that outfit goes on!!<br />
<br />
I keep things simple, the bottom line for me is a lady wants to look her absolute best on that day so its my job to bring it all together with the hat design and styling through the accessories that can transform the look.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.suziemahonydesigns.ie/">Suzie Mahony Designs</a> creates bespoke hats for a number of occasion boutiques each season. This process gives me a great insight into the trends and colours featuring for weddings each year. <br />
<br />
I have put together a little sample of my styling with a selection of outfits from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/IsobelBoutique/?ref=br_rs">Isobel Boutique</a> Adare. This boutique has been renovated into the most amazing occasion 5 Star boutique, a real gem in the heart of the beautiful <a href="http://www.adarevillage.com/">Adare Village</a>, Co Limerick.<br />

Slate Blue is a lovely soft rich blue tone and works perfectly with bright silver or ivory tones. This is a two piece dress and jacket combination from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/IsobelBoutique/?ref=br_rs">Isobel Boutique</a>. This outfit has a beautiful finish with lots of seam detail. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I paired it with 2 different types of hats. An orchid and silk headpiece and the larger saucer hat trimmed with silvery ivory. A simple silver clutch finishes the look. The selection of <a href="http://www.suziemahonydesigns.com/products/bags">Suzie Mahony occasion bags</a> are available online to browse.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Probably one of the most popular tones this year, nude pink. Here the nude pink is overlayed with black silk, and a separate wrap. I have shown here a hat which I have designed overlayed with black lace and pearl trim, also the plain pink hat trimmed with a lovely splash of feather which works perfectly with the black detail on the dress. Either bag options would work here, the pink pearl or a classic black clutch. </div>

Yellow / Grey Wedding Guest:-</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-6ccn8fxgdjqI_XAFvccdSYEAkBZHc0g9hvDvYPbJtsruKca2FOoybCsO04NK832E4ibK8MA2v7Mm_sn4ZaKbSc3jQGdsThpiXv53UrkqnOl0UJWnRRcJT0OCA5nDokGV4fsY9OrCncwG/s1600/Wedding+Styling+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-6ccn8fxgdjqI_XAFvccdSYEAkBZHc0g9hvDvYPbJtsruKca2FOoybCsO04NK832E4ibK8MA2v7Mm_sn4ZaKbSc3jQGdsThpiXv53UrkqnOl0UJWnRRcJT0OCA5nDokGV4fsY9OrCncwG/s320/Wedding+Styling+3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This yellow and grey is a great 'guest' look for the wedding. It is a very vibrant zesty yellow tone but when it is combined with the soft grey/silver it works very well. The overall look is very fresh and seasonal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Navy / Ivory</h3>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is one of those outfits that the hanger doesn't do it justice. A plain dress underneath with this detailed coat, all from Isobel Boutique Adare. A beautiful elegant finish on. I opted for a veiled headpiece which I designed with dyed silk swirls to bring out the lovely rose tones in the coat. I also added a pop of royal with the bag and this works very well with the coat detail. This outfit can easily handle a larger hat design. </div>

This is only a sneak peak at the vast range of international labels and leading brands available at Isobel Boutique.<br />

Are you Ready for the Races?</h3>
<br />
This Spring Racing Season is upon us and the fashion stakes are very high. You want to stand out, look amazing and enjoy every minute. I'm sharing my Racing Style Guide with you, some tips to help you look the best on the field. The perfect 'look' takes planning but rest assured I am here to help bring it all together with the perfect HAT!!!<br />
<br />
The Racing Season is always spectacular and in recent years we have seen more and more emphasis move from the fillies to the fashionistas!! Check out the <a href="http://www.goracing.ie/racecourses-and-events/festival-and-raceday-events/">ladies days 2017</a>.<br />
<br />
Dressing for the races takes planning and the last thing you need is hassle with your HAT!.<br />
<br />
<h3>
1. Themes/Weather:</h3>
Familiarise yourself with the race meeting you are going to attend. Style your look to take in any specific theme requirements for the day. Check the weather forecast and dress accordingly.<br />

<h3>
2. Dress for Your Body Shape:</h3>
This is the most flattering way to complete your look. Use tones that complement you, especially near your face and in your hat. Think classy and elegant. With low necklines consider the hemline to the knee or just below.<br />

<h3>
3 Accessories:</h3>
This season accessories are really coming to the fore. The right combination of accessories will make or break an outfit and you need your Racing Fashion to be perfect. Matching shoes and bags are often the perfect choice for an elegant look or choosing a vibrant bold shoe and bag style/colour will transform a look with the right dress and hat. Your most valuable accessory is your 'smile'.<br />

<h3>
4. The HAT:</h3>
Your hat is your crowning glory at the races and above any other accessory it sets you apart. At <a href="http://www.suziemahonydesigns.ie/">Suzie Mahony Designs</a> I style the complete look with my clients. Wear the correct hat or headpiece to add that 'wow' factor to your outfit. Don't let your hat overpower your outfit. If you opt for an amazingly creative hat then keep the rest of your look balanced so it works well together. Make sure your hat is comfortable to wear, I use special cushion pads on my headbands for clients or special strength elastics. Allow time for your Milliner to design and make your hat.<br />

5. Grooming is GOD!! </h3>
Judges are in search of the complete look and that includes the perfect Nails, Hair and Makeup. Don't let your hard work go to waste choosing and styling your outfit without the finishing touches. Do your makeup to last all day. Remember 'not to prime is a crime' !!<br />

Accessories Styling </h2>
<br />
'Its all about the detail' we have all heard this and it couldn't be more true this year when accessorising your fashion. Use accessories to bring your fashion into this season, give your look a pop of colour, a stylish clutch or add a jewelled neckpiece to your style.<br />
<br />
One of the best ways to show how to mix and match your accessories is to use my fashion show style looks. I style my models wearing black to highlight all the hats, bags, jewellery, gloves or shoes for the audience. Or when I have the opportunity to accessorise with fashion then even better!!<br />
<br />
Here I have added a pop of orange with this silk hat to bring out the detail of the summer dress on the left and the <a href="http://www.suziemahonydesigns.com/product/royal-floral-neckpiece-and-earrings">royal neckpiece</a> I use on the right adds a touch of colour just to lift this look and bring colour nearer the face. Many of us look paler when we have white near our face. These fashion looks are from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/gunadeas/">Guna Deas Boutique</a>.<br />

Sarah is wearing a disc shaped <a href="http://www.suziemahonydesigns.com/product/kara-navy-hat">navy and white trimmed hat</a> but with extra trimming of feather flowers, quills and mesh.

This <a href="http://www.suziemahonydesigns.com/product/brona-beaded-clutch-in-gold">'Brona' bag</a> is a metallic stone beaded clutch with lots of tones on it including navy.

These are women that have overcome cancer, lost loved ones, raised their children, survived some pretty major adversity, as well as revelled in life’s tremendous joys. </span></span></span><br />

<b><i>Pale Dogwood</i></b> is similar to the lovely soft nude pinky tone we have seen over the past couple of years. It works great as a block colour for a complete outfit like you see here on Mandy Maher wearing one of my SS17 Silk Hats at<a href="http://www.suziemahonydesigns.ie/"> Suzie Mahony Designs</a>. Nude Pink is stunning when mixed with greys or nutmeg tones also. It adds a lovely softness to an outfit or overall look.<br />

Kale is also featured in the top 10 and I think we will see much more of this colour heading into AW17 also. It would work brilliantly with chestnuts and browns alongwith the rich clarets of autumn.<br />

<span style="color: #1f1f1f; font-family: times new roman, serif;">Knowing a little about the colour trends for a season is important when planning your outfit for a special occasion. It also gives us the opportunity to see the different tones which may suit us to wear. The range of colours this season offers a huge variety and vibrancy for ladies fashion. These tones of course don't include the fabulous prints that we have seen gracing the catwalks in recent weeks.</span><br />

What better way to celebrate Mna na hEireann than being featured on Ireland AM alongside fabulous Designers and Milliners. I am sharing with you all the details of my experience on <a href="http://www.tv3.ie/">Ireland AM TV3</a> with Celebrity Stylist <a href="http://www.mariettadoran.com/">Marietta Doran</a>.<br />
<br />
Its was fantastic to be invited to showcase <a href="http://www.suziemahonydesigns.ie/">Suzie Mahony Designs</a> occasion style and hats. I decided to keep my look classic and elegant so I started with the beautiful Chanel Style Suit from <a href="http://www.oliviadanielle.com/">Olivia Danielles</a> Athlone in Black with ivory trim and pearl detail. I love this suit, it is so comfortable and easy to wear. <br />
<br />

<br />
My hat I started with the hatblock which is one I designed myself last year and I love the shape. I made my hat in black silk and then working with my own profile and style I trimmed the hat with black silk swirls, handcut black feathers to add some movement and I brought in an accent with ivory pearls all through the design. The hat is secured with elastics and very flattering. I loved wearing it.<br />

The shoes are classic black patent from <a href="http://www.clarks.ie/">Clarks</a> range. I also added a leather black bag and gloves which I had purchased on holidays in the last few years. Staples in any wardrobe and they just finished the look for me.<br />
<br />
Of course I couldn't resist a little chat with the boys Mark Cagney and Aidan Cooney. <br />

<b>Be comfortable</b>, look comfortable in your outfit and enjoy your day.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Footwear is key </b>- its a long day and often turns into an evening out so be sure to have the right boots, or shoes on that will take you through the whole day. Winter boots are great for racing and are ideal to take you onto the evening.<br />

<b><a href="http://www.suziemahonydesigns.com/">Hats:</a> </b> You can't go racing now without a hat!! For winter racing there are amazing options to choose from, quirky headpieces in winter tones or classic black. Felt is the warmer option and can add a pop of colour to any outfit.<br />

<b>Winter Coats:</b> A good quality winter wool coat makes a statement. The coat can be the main focus of your look and accessories will enhance the complete look or keep your coat neutral and bring colour in elsewhere in your hat or gloves. You can transform your coat with a fur collar, a statement hat or a leather belt, the options are endless and always on trend each year.<br />

<b>Galway Fashion Trail</b></h2>
</div>
<br />
I attended the Galway Fashion Trail on 5th November and here is my blog of the day. <br />
<br />
This was my first time to be one of the blogger group for the event with <a href="http://www.itwbn.ie/" target="_blank">ITWBN</a> and it didn't disappoint. Saibh and Sinead (ITWBN) did an amazing job coordinating the 20 VIP Fashion bloggers for the day, some travelling from other parts of Ireland. It was lovely to meet up again with some familiar faces.<br />
<br />
Organised by <a href="http://www.goldenegg.ie/" target="_blank">Galway Now Magazine</a> the Galway Fashion Trail featured 8 fashion shows with <a href="http://www.catwalkmodels.ie/" target="_blank">Catwalk Modelling Agency</a> throughout the city. Its a real treat to get to see the shows from 'the other side'. I'm usually behind the scenes styling my hats and accessories, this way I could enjoy the whole experience of the trail. We are all familiar with the larger stores in Galway but for me the trail was about showcasing the variety and style on offer from Galway Boutiques. They do give us choice but more importantly they offer quality which will be in your wardrobe for seasons to come!!<br />

<br />
We were fuelled up for the day at<a href="http://www.colmquinnbmwgalway.ie/" target="_blank"> Colm Quinn BMW</a> showroom at 9.30am!! yes on a Saturday morning, but it was well worth it. We were given a fantastic Bloggers Buffet Breakfast. They even had a photobooth for some fun pics with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/fiona.newell33" target="_blank">Newell Events</a>. Here we had the opportunity to get up close to the BMW range in the showroom, of course it would be rude not to sit in and try out a few!! Fabulous cars. I met with our Major Mr Larkin who was taught by my mother in national school!! Small world!!<br />

In style the ITWBN bloggers were chauffeured into town and dropped to the first of our Fashion Shows at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ColetteLatchfordGalway" target="_blank">Collette Latchford</a> Boutique, a well established ladies store in Galway and showcased some of the key labels she stocks including MarcCain and Onjenu.<br />

We moved on to <a href="https://www.greenesshoes.com/" target="_blank">Greene's Shoeshop</a> in the shopping centre for the next show with <a href="https://www.hatshop.ie/" target="_blank">The Galway Hat Shop</a>. All you need for winter with cosy woolly hats, scarves and boots / shoes from Greenes. We all popped into the Hat Shop to have some fun trying hats on.<br />

One of the highlights on the trail was <a href="http://www.treasurechest.ie/" target="_blank">The Treasure Chest</a>. An Iconic Galway store celebrating 50 years in business this year with the amazing Mary Bennett at the helm. Mary greeted us in style and we enjoyed some great fashion looks for smart/casual with felt hats showcased from <a href="http://www.suziemahonydesigns.com/" target="_blank">Suzie Mahony Designs</a>. Here I also got to meet up and coming designer Colin Burke, a giant of a lad with great chat, it was lovely to meet him, his work is stunning and I look forward to seeing more of his creations in the future.<br />

It really did begin to look like Christmas in the Kilkenny Shop, I love rummaging through this shop at Christmas time, great gifts for everyone. They spoilt us by gifting each blogger a beautiful <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DBKIreland1/">Dyrberg/Kern Ireland</a> ring from the COMPLIMENTS Collection. The <a href="https://www.kilkennyshop.com/jew%E2%80%A6/designer/dyrberg-kern.html">rings</a> consist of a gold, rose gold or silver band at €20 and the toppers are €40-55 each. I can't wait for mine to arrive.<br />

<b>Winter Accessory Styling</b></h2>
<br />
Autumn/Winter Colours are my favourite, the tones of the garden and outside, burnt oranges, maroon, camel, browns, copper and much more. All these tones work together so well in nature and there is no reason they won't work for us when accessorising. <br />
<br />
I was delighted to welcome Ruth Kemple to my Studio recently for an afternoon of Winter Styling using Accessories from my <a href="http://www.suziemahonydesigns.ie/" target="_blank">Suzie Mahony Designs</a> Collections. <br />
<br />
Ruth writes a Beauty and Lifestyle blog called <a href="http://thebeautykemple.com/about-me-2/" target="_blank">The Beauty Kemple</a> and we had great fun putting together some ideas. We even did a live video on the day which was great fun in the wind!!<br />

<b>Khaki and Black:</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I choose this wool <a href="http://www.suziemahonydesigns.com/products/felt-hats" target="_blank">felt trilby</a> trimmed in black for a casual winter daywear with Ruth's Khaki jacket but teamed it with one of my beaded collars to add a pop of colour with the white shirt, jeans and black boots. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lovely trendy look, just mix and match and it comes together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Perfect for a day out shopping or lunch with friends, very comfortable but stylish.</div>

This season it is really on trend to wear hats everyday and for me the Trilby is perfect, its so warm made from pure wool felt and it looks smart, to give it an edgy look just tilt the front slightly over one eye and step out in style. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Felt is soft and it will mould to your head as long as it is not too tight.</div>

<b>Faux Fur and Red:</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For a touch of opulance we used a beautiful faux fur collar over a camel coat with a striking new AW <a href="http://www.suziemahonydesigns.com/product/red-wool-felt-suzie-bow-percher" target="_blank">Red Bow Percher Hat</a>. Great look for the winter racing season. You certainly wouldn't look out of place at <a href="http://www.leopardstown.com/" target="_blank">Leopardstown</a> or <a href="http://www.cheltenham-races.com/" target="_blank">Cheltenham</a>.</div>

<b>Black Widow Hat:</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This time we went for a style to suit both Winter Wedding or Winter Racing. This black pillbox hat trimmed with over the face spot merry widow veiling really catches the eye. With a faux fur jacket, leather back and again the black boots to finish. To introduce a little sparkle Ruth wore one of my beaded collars in silver/black. Of course you could wear any colour dress with these accessories and an elegant court shoe or classic trouser suit and ankle boot.</div>

<b>Burnt Mustard/Black:</b> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my favourite looks of the day was mixing this unusual Mustard silk wave hat with the beaded collar in Mustard/Black tones. A black bag and your accessories are complete with a simple dress or suit for winter weddings or races. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Without the hat the collar is a great item to use with a simple shirt or jumper to brighten up your look. </div>

<a href="http://www.suziemahonydesigns.com/products/jewellery" target="_blank">Beaded collars</a> have been part of my studio collections for a number of years when dealing with private clients, but this year it seems we are finally appreciating how wearable they are. You can have a collar designed in any colourway to work for your wardrobe. I also design pearl/formal collars which transform a look for a special occasion or even bridal designs in soft ivory/metallics.</div>
