Pippa O'Connor's top trends for 2017

Last week we sat among Ireland's fashion elite to take in Shelley Corkery's style predictions for spring/summer 2017. The catwalk in Brown Thomas was filled with hyper florals, eclectic eighties and vintage classics and we couldn't wait to get some of Ireland's fashion guru's views on the looks.

Fashion blogger Pippa O'Connor shared her top picks from the catwalk with RTÉ LifeStyle's Soraiya Ryan.

"Watching the show and seeing all the florals and bright colours, I just can't wait to inject a bit of colour into my wardrobe! Gucci and Valentino were just stunning so I'll be taking inspiration from that for sure"

Pippa is an author, lifestyle blogger, fashion inspiration and busy working mum. How did she manage to get herself ready for the early morning event?

"Kind of in the dark, last minute, trying to creep out so I wouldn't wake the two little babies! I'm wearing my own jeans from my own collection 'POCO by Pippa'."

They're the type of jeans that you pull on and feel instantly dressed with a pair of heels. I love stripes, I love black and white and then a really simple waist coat."

Speaking of her jeans line, Pippa says she has big plans for 2017. 

"At the moment I'm working on a couple of new styles that I'm trying to perfect."

"I'm nearly there and then [for] some of the most popular styles at the moment, we are doing new washes of those so I'm really excited for that so people can have a couple of pairs of their favourite jeans in the one style."
