What are you wearing?

I’m wearing an H&M jumper dress (€18), Amy Huberman boots (€120) and my trusty Louis Vuitton ‘Speedy’ bag which was a gift.

Describe your style in three words?

Simple, warm, covered up (OK, that’s four!).

How long does it take you to get dressed in the morning?

Three minutes — I usually pick something the night before as I leave the house at 7am.

Fashion or function — which word best describes your attitude to clothes and why?

Fashionable function is everything. As much as I love wearing heels and a dress, I would look like a fool on Ireland’s Fittest Family if I wore that.

So I wear runners and shorts — suitable yet fashionable.

What’s your biggest source of style inspiration?

I always ask myself ‘Can I wear a good bra with it?’ — that’s the basis of everything I wear and own.

What do you think of Irish street style? It’s 50% super, 50% horrific and makes me want to run screaming.

Where do you like to shop?

Zara and ASOS.

Who or what is Ireland’s greatest undiscovered gem?

Laura Jane Halton and Coralie (leather goods).

Why does your style/outfit work?

It’s suitable for the office, easy-to-wear and I have a pair of heels under my desk in case my Friday at work turns into a Friday night out.
