Black-tie bliss for two soirees for Limerick's Celia

ATTENDING the Hi Style Awards was an honour once again and I had a ravishing night too at the Crescent Shopping Centre 50th anniversary celebration.

I went to Cork to the prestigious fashion, beauty and accessories awards ceremony and savoured the night thoroughly. Being around creative people and those who share my passion for fashion is always uplifting.

The Hi Style Awards recognise Ireland’s most stylish and upcoming businesses in the land and a wide range of categories means every element of the industry is in with a chance of winning.

The theme of the night was a timeless elegance theme and the style was truly exceptional, with most in ballgowns, glamour and glitz.

I too wore a floor length, long-sleeve black dress with silver embellishments on the sleeves and waist. My gown was courtesy of Phoenix V, who I love to work with so dearly.

Celebrating half a century of shopping and working with the Crescent Shopping Centre has been blissful and a privilege of mine.

We enjoyed some food and received goody bags at a ceremony in the Savoy, while Mayor Gerald Mitchell addressed all guests of the anniversary celebration.

It was a joyous occasion and we will dearly miss John Davitt, who is retiring on Christmas Eve.

He has been the manager of the centre for some time now and is a wonderful person. I wish him the best of luck going forward.
