On Mothers Day myself and a friend went to a fashion show in the Four Seasons Hotel in Dublin in aid of Dublin Rape Crisis Centre.
I did feel a tiny bit of guilt that I wasn't spending it with my 2 boys,,,or my own mother for that matter, but I had such a great day I felt at least it was worth it!! And Senan told his teacher on Monday my mothers day present was a day off from him and his brother...kids, they'd hang ya!!
Anyhow, back to the fashion show! Claire Byrne was MC for the afternoon, she looked great! We had a drinks reception followed by a very tasty dinner. The smoked salmon on brown bread starter was my favourite, dinner was chicken with potatoes and veg, I felt like the country came out in me, I could have done with a few more spuds!! For dessert we had coffee and chocolates, just enough to satisfy the sweet tooth and not feel too guilty!
Next up was the Arnotts Fashion Show, styled by Cathy O Connor. It was lovely to see all the bright colours! Lots of fab style, a lot it cobalt blue on show and a good variation between casual outfits and dresses etc.
After the fashion show prizes were handed out, a lady at our table won first prize, a signed Irish rugby jersey, hand delivered by Rob Kearney himself! She was delighted-I can't blame her, I would have been too!
We rounded the day of with a drink in the bar and more chatting to lovely ladies. I have to say it was such an enjoyable day from start to finish, there was not one part of the day I could fault,,,all I can say is roll on next year!
