Hi everyone,

Sorry for the long delay with this post, have been a busy bee! I am trying to get myself a new job; at the moment I am working on placement at the Green Room in Sligo, but I only have two weeks left and then I am hoping to go home to Galway. So, as you can imagine my time is caught up with job hunting, interviews, travelling between the two locations and I am also doing a course one day a week in Supervisory Management thanks to Galway Executive Skillnet; I really can't praise them enough!

Also, I was attending my friend Nicola's wedding last weekend and I had a fantastic time, here's a picture of my outfit.

I'm wearing a lime silk satin dress by Almost Famous London

which I got from the Green Room, RRP €190

I initally wanted a print version of the dress but it did not suit me half as much, the lime really works with my colouring. I have had lots of fun selling this particular dress intsore as it gives me an opportuinity to style, get the bag, the shoes and most importantly the hat to match. Each time I have done this the complete outfit has been sold, hat, bag and all! We even had to order more hats to match this dress from our local milliner.

Speaking of hats, this one is designed by me!

Can you see the spider on it? 

What do you think?

I think lime /black hats were definitely trending on the day!

My necklace and the shoes were from Penneys and the bag is my own (I got it in Dunnes about 2 years ago). FYI my shoes were very comfortable, even though they look pretty lethal!

Speaking of which, would you like to see the Brides awesome shoes?

I think she may have eclipsed me here!

Studded Shoes: River Island 

Anyway, that is my update about the wedding. I hope you enjoyed it.

I will be doing another wedding look update in September as I will be going to my friend Errols BIG GAY WEDDING in Castle Leslie, it should be great!

In the meantime I hope to do some more polyvore styling looks and who knows, I may even get to do a styling photoshoot if we have some good weather again. Fingers Crossed.

Take care and I hope you enjoy the bank holiday weekend!

My First Post - Welcome to TribeStyle!

Hi There,

I just thought I would give you all a little bit of information about myself so you can get to understand the person behind TribeStyle.
My name is Sharon Flynn, I am a Fashion Industry Practice Graduate from GTI in Galway. I found this to be a great course, but like a everything else in life there is nothing like the real world experience to give you a more thorough and enlightened education.
I am passionate about fashion but I wouldn't say I am a slave to fashion. I believe that fashion should be fun, and you should never take yourself too seriously.
This blog has been in my mind for well over a year now, and now that I am winding down some other projects at the moment I have made a finally made a commitment to TribeStyle and I will give it all the attention it deserves.
So I will be out and about in Galway over the summer taking some snaps (another hobby of mine!) as well as reporting to you on what is trending, local and beyond! It could be fashion, it could be art, it could be ..... anything. Best of all, it could be YOU!
But for now I am adding a bit of my college portfolio so maybe you will get to understand a bit more about me. I hope you like it.

All Dolled Up

 This is a styling shoot, my friend Elizabeth is the model, she really is a living doll, just look at her porcelain complexion!

The photographer is the very talented Sean McCormack, check out his website

Visor-Vision

This is my recycled garment (modelled by Niamh) which I made from sun-visor hats. I managed to sew them all together as luckily they were made with material and not plastic, so it was of pretty sound construction thankfully. I was inspired by structures such as the Sydney Opera House, modern suspension bridges and the futuristic aesthetic of the remake of the movie TRON. 

This is me posing in my mini styling shoot, located at the Glenlo Abbey Hotel, where I am on a carriage of the Orient Express! I took inspiration from the 1940s and created a scene where this woman has to leave home for some mysterious reason .... I never figured out what it was though!

 Any guesses?

This is my Ikea window display. I basically created a room that was flipped it on its side, the only props falling due to the gravity are the flowers and the magazines. I made all props by hand, this was a compulsory element to the display module in the course as it helps me to get full marks. 

Going GaGa!

This is an upcycled body stocking customised with beaded/studded bib necklaces, both from Primark, and it is modelled by my beautiful cousin Colleen. I used the bibs to emphasise the contours of the body shape. I was inspired by Lady GaGa, but you probably knew that already!

This is a print shot of it being featured in the Galway Advertiser, it's great to get a high quality pic of your work ... as well as the free publicity itself!

So, that's a snippet of my college work, what do you think?
