My Week with Celia Holman Lee: Leaf by leaf, my daring look at horse show

My Week with Celia Holman Lee: Leaf by leaf, my daring look at horse show

Here I am joined by the gorgeous Continentally Classic winner Maura O'Neil and her darling daughter Erin

WHAT AN incredible week for fashion in Ireland at the RDS Dublin Horse Show and the fabulous after party in the Intercontinental Dublin!

We were blessed with the unbelievable weather! With clear sunny skies it was the perfect day for a fashion showcase surrounded by old and new friends!

Winner of the esteemed Best Dressed at the show was the fabulous Nadine King! From Donnybrook, Nadine wowed both judges, Aoife McNamara and Bairbre Power with her Pride and Prejudice-inspired gown.

I myself went for a daring headpiece and I can't get over the amazing reaction to it! Made by the extremely talented milliner Carol Kennelly it featured a wreath of small red leaves circling my face. It was  something different, I loved it and it appears many others did too! My dress was from the wonderful Phoenix V Boutique.

Visiting the Intercontinental after the iconic horse show is tradition and all ladies and gentlemen are invited to take part in another version of the best dressed lady.

It always proves to be great fun and a good laugh and this year's winner of the Continentally Classic was the gorgeous Maura O’Neil.

I spent my evening relaxing and unwinding from the wonderful day at the Herbert Park Hotel. It was a wonderful experience and only a stone's throw from the RDS in the heart of Dublin city. 

Seeing everyone dressed and accessorised in things new and old, proves that fashion is, indeed, timeless.
