Kelly Brook got a much bigger picture on today’s Irish Independent ‘Fashion Friday’ page. A little gutted!. Here is my article and details of my rig out.

Who inspires you?

I am inspired by my friend and fellow Clare lady Alcy Lynch; she’s head of design at Henry Holland and has always been streets ahead in the style stakes. Also, I went to a Giles Deacon show during London Fashion Week afew years ago and am still a big fan.

How would you describe your style?.

My style is pretty eclectic; a hodgepodge of fashion ingredients. Here I’m wearing a Danity Blouse from TKMaxx, Warehouse trousers; an Anya Hindmarch bag and Nine West shoes. I never buy clothes on-line as I always need a swing in front of the mirror before I part with my cash.

What is your favourite item in your wardrobe?

My can’t-live-without fashion item right now is my Bastyan military style drape coat in nude and I seldom leave home without my few pieces of gold jewellery which I’ve collected at antique fairs over the years.
