Galway Tattoo Show With Cotton Face Vintage

Hi!

A few weeks ago I helped out at the Cotton Face stall at the Galway Tattoo Show.

Lovely stuff, as per usual! 

It was the Second Annual Tattoo Show; with both Irish and International tattoo artists set up in stalls in the Radisson Hotel in Galway for the weekend, along with a market, tattoo competitions, food and entertainment.

I didn't get any tattoos, unfortunately, but it was lovely to walk around the convention and see all the different artists and styles they were all doing; and I got some great ideas for my own future tattoos!

Here are some pictures I took of the Cotton Face stall.

Always forget to take my feet out of the shot!

Look Book Shoot for Cotton Face

Hi Everyone :) 

So, I had quite an exciting weekend, this week!

I  was helping out at Cotton Face Vintage, helping style some look books for their new website cotton-face.com. It was a beautiful, sunny day at the beach in Spiddal, Co. Galway, where were shooting with the very talented photographer, Lisa Griffin, who came down from Dublin for the day, with model and friend Deirdre Feeney, and of course, the owner of Cotton Face, the lovely Sinead Lally. 

It was so much fun, we shot about 7 looks from Sinead's new stock that she just individually sourced in Paris and other pieces from the winter collection. 

I wont show you pictures and ruin the surprise, but definitely keep an eye out here, and on Facebook for when the shoot is live on the site!

Here are the links to Cotton Face, Its Facebook and Instagram and Lisa Griffin Photography and Her Facebook.  

I really can't wait to see the final shots, from what I saw, they're going to be amazing!

Watch this space for the final product :)

Galway Bloggers' Party

So last weekend I attended the Galway Bloggers Party, hosted by the lovely Rebecca Casserly, of Bec Boop Fashionista World. I had such a good time and met some lovely people! 

Outfit of the Day:

Top: Afflecks Palace, Manchester

Skirt: Topshop

Shirt: Thrifted

Shoes: New Look

Bag: River Island

It was hosted in the House Hotel, Galway, which was the perfect setting, as it's such pretty place. 

Rebecca had the place set up really well, there were stands from Cotton Face Vintage, Spiddal, Urban Decay and Benefit, from Debenhams, and Captain Tortue, a brand based in the south of France, but run by independent consultants here, who set up parties, or pop up shops to sell their clothes, instead of a store.
