OUR SELL-OUT summer soirée at the stunning No.1 Pery Square Hotel was an unforgettable afternoon of fashion, fun, and flair!

With a beautiful Georgian backdrop and glorious sunshine, the event drew an excited crowd who were treated to a truly memorable experience.

Guests were welcomed with a specially crafted Georgian rosé cocktail, which was refreshingly light, before indulging in a decadent afternoon tea spread.

Delights like tangy lemon meringue puffs and classic scones with sweet strawberry jam and clotted cream added a luxurious touch to the day.

The fashion show was the centrepiece of the afternoon, featuring a stellar lineup of local boutiques and Irish fashion designers.

Holman Lee Agency models glided effortlessly down the runway, wearing pieces from Brown Thomas, Kimono, Sinead’s Boutique, Ela Maria, Isobel Boutique, Ber McNamara, and the fabulous Marion Murphy-Cooney, whose design I proudly wore on the day.

The catwalk was a true celebration of style, showcasing looks for every shape, size, and budget.

Of course, no great event is complete without a few treats to take home, and our goodie bags did not disappoint!

Packed with luxurious skincare, makeup, and haircare products from Boots and the No.1 Pery Square Spa, guests left with more than just memories.

From 1:30pm to 4pm, attendees basked in a blissful atmosphere, their senses delighted at every turn.

It was an afternoon to remember, and a perfect way to celebrate summer in style.

We’re already counting down the days to the next one!
