On Wednesday I popped by Style in the City at The Stock Exchange in Galway, a charity fashion event co-hosted by blogger Rebecca Casserly (Bec Boop Fashionista) and Cotton Face Vintage, in aid of Western Alzheimers and Jigsaw. It was an evening of glamour by all accounts, and while I couldn’t stay for the whole shebang, which included a fashion show, raffle and goody bags for the first 50 ladies to enter (which were snapped up in record time I hear!) I did get to peruse the stalls, peppered around the place in chaotic, back-stage fashion show style.

Those of us who missed out on the goody bags (boooo) weren’t gloomy for long however, as each stall had a variation of wonders to behold, and many were offering discounts and competitions of their own (yay!).

The first stall at the entrance, where many raffle tickets were bought by those tempted by the lovely prizes on display

There was so much style on the night it was hard to choose from all the photos I took, but here are a few of my favourite looks…

Rebecca Casserly of Bec Boop Fashinista fame, and host for the evening

Two fashionable ladies rocking WInter White and Monochrome, always a winner!

Love the lace detail on this top, and the red lips to top it all off

Dark lipstick, opulent brocade texture and a funky hat, what’s not to like!

Turban, mixed texture and unusual colours; one of my picks for best dressed of the night

Getting into the spirit of things!

The event was a great idea, and a huge success;  congrats to all involved for pulling off a wonderful night to benefit two very worthy charities.
