Valerie Collection @ Topshop

The new Valerie Collection from Topshop has hit the high street. This fabulous collection is an eclectic mix of all things that we at Fashion Forward are craving right now. It combines the pretty summer printed dress with punk rock check shirts and does so seamlessly. I particularly love the KISCO Brogue Lace up shoe for the more daring fashionista. This smart flat shoe would take any glamorous girl from the office to a night out with relative ease. Paired with skinny jeans this shoe would also look super funky! We're also loving the tartan jacket from this collection which could be paired with so many other items; from the summer dress, to the high waisted shorts. Polo t-shirts add some great casual wear for a lazy summers day to the collection. Thumbs up from FASHION FORWARD to the team at Topshop for their new Valerie collection. Check it out in stores near you now.

Festival = Fabulous

Festivals are no longer just about the music. What you wear requires strategic planning and careful packing!! Take inspiration from some of the celebrities from last years infamous Coachella festival.









Here's a look at what I think are the best buys for this years festival season.

BOHEMIAN BORDER PRINT DRESS at Warehouse (United Kingdom)

CUTWORK EMBROIDERED COVER UP at Warehouse (United Kingdom)

Escape solid wellington boot at oasis-stores.com


I think the look for this year will include washed denim skinny jeans worn with oversized loose dresses. Be sure to stay right on trend and accessorise with some colourful and large flower corsages. Rock star t-shirts can be alternated with the loose fitting dresses and worn with the skinny jeans. You'll find some great t-shirts in Topshop, River Island and if ya want a real 'boyfriend' look go for the mens ones in Topman.

Also, with our unpredictable Irish weather make sure to include some essentials, such as an uber-trendy PVC Rain Mac, cashmere cardi's to prevent hypothermia, colourful sunglasses, trilby or floppy sun hat, and some sun screen -well ya just never know!!

The Model Scene

As part of my final year Advanced Video Production Project I created & directed a documentary, the result of which is this 'The Model Scene'. Thanks SO much to everybody involved, without you this wouldnt have ever happened! Hopefully I didn't forget anybody in the credits.
The documentary is about 3 up and coming models based in Dublin. Let me know what you think x x

An introduction

Hi all,

I have decided FINALLY to create a blog.. mostly about fashion. Because, as most people that know me already know, that is what I do best.
For me fashion is SO much more than just buying the latest trends. I strongly believe that you do not have to spend thousands to look amazing. I am not an advocate of buying designer items simply because they are made by famous designers, rather I think if something looks good and makes you feel good when wearing it, it doesn't matter about the price tag attached to it.
For me fashion is about expressing your own individuality. And, whilst comfort and practicality must come into play I also think it is important to present yourself as best you can to the outside world. First impressions really do count so whether your going to a job interview or going on a night out , what your wearing could change the rest of your life.

This blog will bring you all the latest news on fashion trends, whats hot and what's not, and how to look great in the clothes that you're wearing.
