A Taste Of Dublin


One of Dublins best foodie events will be taking place at the Iveagh Gardens from June 13th to 16th. Don't know what to wear? Fashion Blogger Lorna Weightman has provided some top fashion tips when attending Food Festivals!


Hello hats!

A summer must have accessory is the hat, and there is no more appropriate time to wear something like a bowler or panama style hat than at a food festival where chic style is always welcome what ever the weather. Summer hats add elegance to even the most casual of outifts, and there are plenty of styles to choose from this season.

Panama Hat available from Accessorize


Flat shoes are your friend!

Although there are plenty of designated walkways throughout the festivals, ensure you are wearing comfortable shoes (flats or wedges are recommended) so you can casually stroll among the stands.

Wedge heel sandals available for €20 in Heatons.



Keep rainproof!

With Irish weather being changeable to say the least, and with most food festivals being located out of doors, remember to bring a waterproof jacket with a hood to keep you dry in case of some summer showers!

You can grab this Parka Jacket from Marks & Spencers.


  
Accessories

Bangles, earrings and necklaces can make a real statement; whether you are in your favourite weekend t-shirt or your most stylish blouse, adding some bling can bring an outfit to life. Try stacking bangles, of  various styles and colours, along your arm - one of my favourite tips for summer. As you sip your prosecco, watch the bangles catch the light.

Bangles from Coldlillies.com from €158 

 
Sunnies, the must have accessory
Sunglasses are the icing on the cake for ever summer outfit. From large lensed designer styles, to the newest trend of aviators, opt for a frame that flatters the shape of your face. And try some colours, like white or even a printed frame!

These glasses are an absolute bargin from Penny's from €1.50






Tickets for Taste of Dublin are available online here, or call 0818 30 00 30.

Music Festivals Dublin

Bewley's Hotels have teamed up with Fashion Blogger Lorna Weightman to give you the top tips when attending a music festival in Dublin this summer!


One of the highlights of the summer is the abundance of music festivals Ireland has to offer, whether you like to camp or just do a day trip, here are the top fashion tips to help you pack your rucksack!

Get the bag right

Keeping your valuables safe, while looking stylish is key so opt for a cross body bag or satchel! This will also keep your hands free for dancing to your favourite band!

Be original!

So many celebs set the tone for festival style, but this summer why not be the trendsetter and take inspiration, but create your own festival look! Whether it’s customising a t-shirt to making your own accessories, it’s a great time to be creative!

Wear those Wellingtons

Festivals in Ireland can mean one thing - mud! Keeping those feet warm and dry is a fashion priority, so invest in some good wellingtons to last you this festival season and the next! And one important tip - always carry a spare pair of socks!

Leave that maxi dress at home!

Maxi dresses and long skirts are not exactly festival friendly, as they can drag or even worse, be stepped on! Stick to midi or minis for skirts, but ideally, jeans and hardwearing fabrics are more practical.

Stay waterproof

Raincoats do not have to be unflattering! Try a parka with a hood to keep that hair dry, or a trench coat is always an elegant option. Either way, a waterproof jacket is a must!

And don’t forget to post pictures of our festival outfits to your social networks! Instagram is a music festival favourite!
