April Fashion Bloggers Brunch!!!

Tasty Tasty Tasty....

The sun is shining, everybody smileeeee

Fabulous!

The lovely Sinead and Lisa

With this weather it's hard not to channel Parisian chic!

So needed, and oh so enjoyed was today's Fashion Bloggers Brunch in Milanos on Dawson street.

I'm already a big lover of Milanos, super service and the best salad around (That's the Bosco by the way!) but it was fantastic to meet up with the bloggers for this one.

We had a good natter about charred and definitely Dirty Fabulous and we all decided it's time for some positive thinking and stratagising!

We also found time to converse over...

iPod applications (how do we get one for Dirty Fabulous!)

Shoe lusts: Yours truly is Christian Louboutin Engin Nude Studded Pumps...please, please be mine....

The gorgeous weather....makes us want to consume more wine, why is that?

New haircuts...again definitely brought on by the weather, next I'll be organising my wardrobe!

The success of The Absolute Style at Set in Kilkenny last weekend, Blanaid Hennessy is a miracle worker...go to next years event people!

And of course our bountiful goody bags courtesy of Coty and containing oodles of yummy Rimmel and Sally Hanson products.

Thanks as always to Annemarie for organising and Milanos for the fabulous food!!!

Fashion Bloggers Brunching in Harvey Nichols

Sunday the 16th saw the one year anniversary of the Fashion Bloggers Brunch which was celebrated in style courtesy of Harvey Nichols First Floor Restaurant and the organisation skills of Annmarie O Connor.

The food was devine, the company excellent and the goodie bags...lust worthy!!!

We started of the brunch with Bellini's, a perfect way to kick off any day. Next followed granola and berries with a touch of mint.

After this was the most gorgeous assiette plate of tasty brunchy morsels (see the drool worthy pic above). If these dishes weren't enough there was skewered beef with truffle mash, sumptuous desserts and one of the best coffee's I've ever had (tasted like chocolate), all washed down with a glass or two of wine!

It was my first time in Harvey Nichols restaurant and I loved it, the service was impeccable(a big thank you to Michael), the food delish and we were lulled into a post food serenity with live soothy jazz tunes.

The conversation meandered through topics such as Charlie Sheens dubious good looks, the upcoming launch of Aisling McDermotts' new book the beaut.ie Guide to Gorgeous and the pros and cons of false eyelashes brought on by the addition of such beauties in our goody bags!

Lastly we dived into the treasure trove of said bags and found them brimming with much needed essentials. It was like Harvey Nichols had read my mind (and my shopping list!).

There was the blusher I desperately needed, a bag full of sun care products from Liz Earle (perfect travel size for Tuscany), James Brown heat protection spray for my blown to death fringey locks, disco eyelashes (Tuscany again!) and Collagen Marshmallows (although not on my list, I was just as happy to have them).

After all this we left on a high, swinging our Harvey Nichols shopping bags and went to straight to Penny's to stock up on tights...

Dirty Fabulous goings on!

I have to say Dirty Fabulous was super social last weekend and as we usually work six days a week it was lovely to kick back and relax!
That's not to say that vintage wasn't at the forefront of our minds though...

Caroline enjoyed a late Fashion Bloggers Brunch in the tasty Marks and Spencers roof top restaurant www.marksandspencer.com/. She whiled away a few hours indulging in fabulous treats and bubbles and catching up with fellow bloggers from www.iblogfashion.blogspot.com/ and www.beaut.ie/blog/ to name a few. She had a blast and I was sorry I missed it but I was....

I was representing the Dirty Fabulous contingency, along with another loyal follower and super friend, at a wedding in the West. Shocking I know but we actually had a really sunny day for it!

We all had a ball eating, drinking and dancing.

There's nothing like getting dressed up in a beautiful vintage frock and celebrating with friends!
