About me!
As a regular fashion presenter on Irish lifestyle programme RTE Today, and a contributing style and Vintage fashion expert for radio and print, I take an enthusiastic, colourful and rule-free approach to style 'advice'. Along with my work in front of the camera, I have styled editorial shoots, commercial campaigns, advertisements, short films, brand ambassadors, celebrity features, catwalk fashion shows, on-street fashion festival shows, social media features and an array of unique jobs around the country.
I also regularly present fashion videos on behalf of clients, and MCs live style and lifestyle events.
Many of my clients have worked with me for a number of years, continuing to build on the trust and relationships we have cultivated over previous successful projects. With over a decade's experience, I believe that authenticity is key to having fun with fashion, and so I always endeavour to encourage viewers, readers, listeners and personal clients alike to celebrate who it is they are today by wearing clothes they truly love, in the way that makes them feel the absolute best version of themselves.

My interest in Vintage fashion has made me passionate about sustainability and purposeful acquisition of clothing. I am an advocate for conscience shopping and clothing care, promoting mending for longevity and investing in future collectables, as well as educating on repurposing existing collections, and sustainable fashion practices.
I regularly consult with brands and personal clients in the corporate, charity and private sectors, offering guidance on both fashion and interiors style. I also offers private styling which can be booked directly on this website.
This year, I am continuing to develop TV style features, with a specific focus on Vintage, Ethical and Sustainable Fashion.
I love collaborating with brands, teams and individuals on their corporate, media or personal projects, and welcome the opportunity to share my creative input into any exciting venture.
Drop me a line to organise a coffee (over Zoom, for now) to discuss how we might best work together this year.
Sustainable Fashion
UNCOVER
Arguably, the most sustainable pieces of clothing is the one that already exists. We can often spend so long consumed by what is presented to us as ‘new’ and therefore on-trend, that we forget all that has been loving created and enjoyed before.
A deep dive into your own closet, attic or the wardrobes of family members can unearth gems that not only give us a snapshot of a time gone by, but also tell the story of our style (and perhaps our family) DNA. And, although the high street may spawn a million imitations, you can dress delighting in the knowledge that you’re donning an original in every sense of the word.
Discover
What’s a surefire way to guarantee your clothing stands the test of time? It’s to make sure you LOVE WHAT YOU BUY.
Do you remember a time when you discovered an item in a shop, only to fall so deeply for it that it appeared in your dreams, consumed your waking thoughts and was the subject of many subsequent visits? All solidifying your smitten feelings, leaving you safe in the knowledge that you were spending your budget on something that you would adore and enjoy for ages to come? That is the feeling we should have every time we make a purchase.
When you truly adore something you care for it, you find new ways of enjoying it, you share it, you show it off, you respect it. That is the most beautiful way to approach shopping. A resulting closet full of love guaranteed.
