1st birthday of Jennifer Rothwell in Powerscourt

 Yesterday evening myself and cousin Kasey attended a lovely event in Powerscourt in town. It was an evening to celebrate the 1st birthday of Jennifer Rothwell in Powerscourt.

 

For those of you who follow my blog and my sisters blog you might recall that Enid and I went to opening of this store last year.  And that Enid has the most amazing Jennifer Rothwell hummingbird print dress - click hear to read all about it.

 

I adore Jennifer's silk dresses.  This is the lightest most beautiful silk and the print is incredible.

 

Both Kasey and I agreed that this jacket (Harry Clarke stained glass inspired) would go with lots of things in your wardrobe - jeans, leggings, little black dress.

 

This dress was GORGEOUS on Kasey!

 

Kasey felt a little uncomfortable because she wasn't sure if the lining was sitting right.  Jennifer, the designer, got right in there to fix it up for her.  So kind.  Jennifer mentioned that she can custom make the dress for your size.  Doesn't the back of this dress (the shape) look just as amazing as the front?? 

 

Now THIS was my absolute favourite.  Donegal tweed.  Felt light and soft but SO warm.  Doesn't it look beautiful??

 

Lovely ladies with their purchases.  I always love Jennifer Rothwell's bags!

 

This is the lovely designer.  She spoke really well, thanking everyone for coming and for supporting Irish design (90-95% of all items were made in Ireland).

 

It was a really nice evening with beautiful clothes.  The very best of luck for the next year of business to all in Powerscourt. 

  

Jennifer Rothwell flagship boutique

On Thursday Enid and I went to the launch of  Jennifer Rothwell's flagship boutique in the Powerscourt centre in Dublin.  

Jennifer is an Irish Designer who is known for her fantastic use of colour and fabulous materials in her beautiful designs.  That's Jennifer in the middle in the above picture showing off her very well known and stunning Hummingbird print.

The hummingbird print is actually how we know of Jennifer and got the invite to the launch - as Enid bought an amazing Humming bird dress a year or so ago.  Here is her blog post from then, I'd really recommend you check it out and the photos, it is a stunning dress.

The launch seemed to go very well - there was a good turnout and a nice "buzzy" atmosphere.

Here is a pic of Enid enjoying a nice glass of vino :-)

We also enjoyed trying on some of the new collection dresses.  Boy did they look and feel good on.  They are not cheap, but so worth it.  And let's not forget these are designer pieces.

If you are looking for a really striking dress for an event I think you would be well worth checking the shop out, or online.

Also, (funnily enough), while Jennifer Rothwell is very well known for her use of colour and print, she also has the most wonderful white dresses which I think would be beautiful for a wedding.

After the launch we went to eat in Bear.  Hmm, nice food, the service was a bit relaxed (aka lax) though...
