If anyone can give us an insight into life as an Instagram sensation it’s Cork native Eimear Varian Barry. With over 69,000 followers on the photo-sharing social media platform it’s easy to see why Eimear has garnered the attention of brands such as Next, Gap, Dorothy Perkins, River Island, and Garnier.

While Eimear is possessed of model good looks and great style, as well as a penchant for photography and some pretty mean photo-editing skills, one senses that it is also her charm, good humour, and honesty that make her a firm favourite with her legions of followers.
