My week with Celia Holman Lee: Racing into the New Year in style!

OVER Christmas, I found myself at one of my favourite places, the races!

Hosting Ladies Day was a dream, surrounded by vibrant colours, elegant style, and plenty of festive cheer.

The energy was electric at Limerick Racecourse in Patrickswell, with everyone dressed to impress, from classic couture to modern outfits. Selecting the winners was no easy task with such creative and confident contenders!

Massive congratulations to Niamh Lordan, the fabulous winner of Best Dressed Lady.

Donning a flattering purple silk dress, she paired it with gold court shoes and a fantastic faux fur draped over her left shoulder.

Her beautifully elegant cream and black disk hat tied the outfit together in the most perfect way!

There’s something magical about Ladies Day at the races.

It’s not just the outfits, but it’s the stories, the personalities, and the way fashion connects us all. For me, it’s a reminder of why I’ve dedicated my life to this industry.

Now, with the New Year on the horizon, I’m turning my attention to another highlight on the yearly calendar: the Mid-West Bridal Exhibition!

The joy of helping brides, grooms, their mothers and their entourages find the look for their big day is unparalleled.

Taking place in the iconic home of Munster rugby in Thomond Park on January 19, we hope crowds will gather with us to browse the one-stop-shop of all things matrimonious.

From intricate lace gowns to daring modern cuts, bridal fashion is ever-evolving, and I can’t wait to see what the 2025 exhibition has in store.

As I prepare for this fabulous event, I’m filled with gratitude for another year of doing what I love most - bringing fashion dreams to life.

Here’s to a glamorous new year!
