Channel Jackie O in Crochet Styles by Darling London

What better way to wake up on a Sunday morning than to find an email from one of my favourite brands Darling London. Fans of the brand will be aware of their ultra-feminine, whimsical and timeless designs. Needless to say, I was very excited to see their latest offering is not only typically chic but perfect for the office.

Four Irish Ladies Over 40 Who SHOULD Be Style Bloggers!

It has been a joy to see so many talented young Irish women achieve success in the blog sphere over the past few years. Most notably, model Pippa O Connor Ormond has achieved wonders owing to her on point style and relatable approach. One question we notice time and time again on bloggers social media pages are queries from more mature ladies asking "What is the cut off age for this", "Am I too old for this" or worse the dreaded "Will I look like mutton dresses as lamb"?

The fact remains style blogs for women over 40 are lacking. There's a market for them without doubt, and a great space for some of our most stylish ladies to jump in and join! We've compiled a list of four Irish ladies over 40 we would love to see sharing their personal style and beauty tips.

Lorraine Keane

Former XPOSE presenter and author Lorraine Keane has been considered one of Ireland's most stylish women for the past two decades. Looking through social media, her personal style is chic, timeless and fashionable (without being a slave to trends). Lorraine is a champion of Irish brands and boutiques and a style blog would be the perfect addition to her successful fashion days out.

Yvonne Connolly

Again, Yvonne has been one of Ireland's most photographed women since her days as a model over twenty years ago. No, longer known for being Ronan Keating's wife, the blonde beauty has branched out into pursuing her culinary talents. No doubt Yvonne could offer a wealth of style tips and perhaps a peek into her gorgeous wardrobe.

Lisa Fitzpatrick

Vivacious blonde Lisa is one of Ireland's best known stylists who has recently taken her knowledge around the country with her sell out fashion factories. Lisa's personal style is very classic, she knows exactly what works for her colouring, body shape and age. Lisa lost a lot of weight and transformed her body meaning she could offer excellent tips to anyone else doing likewise.

Alison Doody

Alison's name may be the most unfamiliar one to you on the list and this is surprising given her credentials. In the 1980s the Irish actress took Hollywood by storm with roles as a Bond girl, she later starred opposite Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones and as the gutsy Charlotte in Irish movie Taffin, co-starring Pierce Brosnan.

Alison walked away from stardom to focus on family life and motherhood, making a return to our screens several years ago in The Clinic. Celebrating her 50th birthday, she remains an impeccably stylish woman who would have endless advice and many a story to tell.

Lennon Courtney for Dunnes Stores is a Sell Out Success!

When we heard news of an affordable collaboration between Dunnes Stores and the oh-so-stylish duo Sonia Lennon and Brenda Courtney we anticipated it was going to prove a rather successful venture.

The contemporary brand joined the Irish department store earlier this year with plans to serve their joint customer bases with the chic, professional designs we have become accustomed to from the Off The Rails presenters. Let's hear a little more from the Dunnes Stores website:

'Together Sonya and Brendan have over 40 years experience in the fashion industry. Their designs are informed by a shared philosophy which focuses on clothes and styles that are uniquely tailored to the shape of modern women. Both Lennon and Courtney’s experience as stylists have given them a unique insight which has greatly influenced their designs and collections.'

Indeed, fashion conscious Irish ladies were so eager to add the pieces to their wardrobes, the collection is without question a resounding success.

Fear not ladies! Dunnes have restocked the pieces online. For those of you who haven't grabbed a piece yet let's take a look at the collection. For me personally, this collection is ideal for the professional woman who wants to look as good in the office as she does in her private life. Timeless dresses with just a hint of sex appeal which will take you from your office to dinner and drinks afterwards.

My three favourites; The striking blue 50s Hero Dress, the Rhonda and the Floor Length Gown.

Is this Pippa O Connor's Best Look Yet?

One of Ireland's top bloggers and fashion icons Pippa O Connor Ormond always gets it just right when it comes to her sartorial choices. As the face of this years Dublin Fashion Festival, she turned it up a notch for a fashion show at Powerscourt Town Centre.

Pippa looked effortlessly chic in a gorgeous white lace dress with a semi-sheer skirt and v neck for the event from celebrity favourite Coco Boutique. The necklace is also from Coco, unfortunately the boutiques website is undergoing a revamp meaning we cannot shop online at present. No doubt, there will be many a lady hoping to replicate Pippa's look.

To complete the look Pippa added a slick of red lipstick and a pair of killer Karen Millen heels.  The shoes appear to be the brands Patent Leather Courts in orange. Crafted from luxurious Italian suede, the pointed shoes retail for €180.

This might be Pippa's best look yet. What do you think?
