Fashion Forward: rainbow style and serious ladies’ day prizes
Ladies’ Day at the Dublin Horse Show takes place this
year on July 21st and if the prizes are anything to go by, the
competition will be pretty fierce. In line with last year, the winner of
the “Dundrum Town Centre Best Dressed Lady” will walk away with a not
so meagre prize of €10,000 in Dundrum Town Centre vouchers. Judges on
the day will be model Louise O’Reilly and fashion editor Bairbre Power.
On picking the winner O’Reilly, above, says, “I will
definitely be looking for a woman who dresses for her shape and
appropriately for the weather.” To enter, all you need is a general
admission ticket for the Dublin Horse Show on Thursday, July 21st . See

Memo opens in Paris
John Molloy of Memo Fragrances has just opened a
standalone perfume boutique with his wife Clara on the Rue Cambon in
Paris right across the road from Chanel.
On a recent visit to Dublin, Molloy, who had just
flown in from Russia where the brand is one of the top-selling perfumes,
enthused about Marfa in Texas, an art oasis in a desert town that is
now a tourist destination and centre for minimalist art.
On a pilgrimage there recently with his family, the
town inspired the latest unisex Memo fragrance with its tuberose base
with ylang-ylang and vanilla slightly reminiscent of Piguet’s Fracas.
Find it in Brown Thomas, €190 for 75ml. Memo’s
fragrances are always inspired by the Molloy travels as their names
suggest – Ilha do Mel, Lalibela, Irish Leather.
“When I think of fragrance I always think of a place rather than a person” says Clara.
Style secret
“Don’t throw anything away! The things I wish I’d
kept from my awkward teenage years through to my mum’s 1970s wardrobe
has filled many an overdraft. If you do want to clear out, then donate.”

Heavenly Havaianas
When it comes to Havaianas, one immediately thinks of
those flip flops with their zany insoles which sell in their millions
every year. However, their espadrilles have an equally strong comfort
factor and are ideal for those with less than perfect feet.
A new Havaianas outlet has just opened in Kildare
Village where flip flops range in price from €18.14 up to €42.40 for a
pair while these striped espadrilles are €22.75 (RRP €35).
