Unban Wedding Show in The Gibson Hotel Sunday 23rd March

We love the Gibson Hotel.

We've had a 40th birthday party there, romantic nights away and cocktails with the girls on the panoramic balcony.

The food, beverages, ambiance and staff have always been wonderful! 

It's a fantastic location for a wedding and to show you just how to do it, the Gibson Hotel are hosting an urban wedding show this Sunday from 2pm to 5pm.

Dirty Fabulous will have a selection of beautiful vintage wedding dresses featuring in the fashion show by Derek Daniels at 3.30pm.

The gorgeous gals from Assets will be rockin' some of our fabulous fifties frocks and short flirty wedding dresses from the 60's all perfect for an urban wedding.

So for your city wedding inspiration and the perfect venue head to The Gibson Hotel on Sunday.

Dirty Fabulous will headline a fashion show this weekend at a very special wedding event in the Silver Springs Moran Hotel, Cork.

The big night takes place on the evening of Friday October 4th and super stylist and fashion writer, Annemarie O'Connor will MC on the night.

The whole night is a celebration of 50 years of memorable weddings with the hotel taking a trip down memory lane.

This look back on 50 years will highlight the changing fashions, traditions and wedding food. 

From meringue dresses to lemon meringue for dessert, the walls of the Silver Springs Moran Hotel have been witness to all the changing trends over the last five decades!

We love that this is something different for potential bride and grooms to attend...this is not your regular wedding fair!

Dirty Fabulous is super excited to be involved and can't recommend the night enough! If you are near Cork you simply must go!!!

An exhibition of wedding memorabilia over the past 50 years will also feature so let the nostalgia take over!

Guests can enjoy music on the night and light refreshments which will include a delicious tasting of some of the very best wedding food trends over the last five decades.

To top it all off will be a magnificent five tier wedding cake with each tier representing a different decade. 

This whole walk down memory lane is completely free, but you do need to register to attend. To do so, just call 021 450 7533

Arthur Cox Irish Couture Fashion Evening 2012

The Dirty Fabulous ensemble were lucky enough to be invited to last weeks Arthur Cox Irish Couture Fashion Evening. This beautiful fashion event was held in association with the Irish International Business Network and took place in the decadent setting of The Westin Hotel ballroom.

First on show were Couturiers Tyrrell & Brennan.

This was one of our favourite collections as it had definite echoes of 1950's silhouettes. The tailoring was impeccable and the fabrics sumptuous. We collectively drooled over an embellished black lace!

Joanne Hynes had a striking collection that was not for the faint hearted! Metallic's were the name of the game and heavily embellished neck pieces adorned every outfit.

Mark T Burke displayed absolutely stunning head pieces that were truly works of art. We wanted every single one of them!

Another gorgeous collection included hats by Milliner Polly McGettigan and outfits by designer Jen Kelly.

Also on show during the evening was knitwear designer Caroline Mitchell

After the show all of the well oiled attendees were treated to a Pop-up Show featuring the designers.

I had to try on everyone of Joanne Hynes huge embellished collars and made a mental note to beg Santa for one. I am so a fan of the bling!!!

Caroline loved this slightly more understated gold and turquoise piece.

Bite Size Bellinter Fashion Show!

So, today I shall be mainly teasing you Dirty Fabulous gals! 

Just a little taster of some of the looks I styled for the recent fashion show in Bellinter House.

The night was a huge success and lots of money was raised for the Stepping Stones Charity.

As soon as the shots come in from the evening, I'll be sure to put you ladies out of your misery and post them ASAP! 

See, my taunting has a happy ending!

Below are a couple of quick snaps I managed to get on my phone backstage, apologies for the graininess.
