Swinging into party season

Hey everyone,

I haven't posted on here in a while because things have honestly been a bit hectic.

Between Goss kicking off to a busy start in 2015 to my TV pilot finally ready for broadcasters, I've been living off about 5 hours sleep a night, but I guess that's what being a CEO is all about.

January is always extremely quiet in showbiz land but February always kicks us back into shape.

The last two weeks alone have been the busiest I've had in months.

But first...let's take a selfie

We're expanding in Goss.ie - with new staff coming on board and lots of exciting things in the pipeline and we've been giving an extra focus to the Style section and to our Video Production.

This week the Goss team attended the Clerys Spring/Summer fashion launch for 2015, and we loved everything.

From cherry blossoms spread around the room, to this swing that I would kill to have in my apartment, the set up was dreamy - and the clothes were even better.

Last week was probably the busiest week in terms of events.

In one night we had five events. From the Spring/Summer launch for Debenhams to the ALDI Secret Chef event, I was running all around town, and it seemed the social photographers were following me and my friend Edward Smith.

I'm genuinely starting to think I need to start bringing a change of outfits with me if this keeps happening, but having Ed in a picture always guarantees perfect style anyway.

Since it was seen enough times I might as well tell you the pink shirt and leather skirt are both from H&M, and the white shoes I got from Marks and Spencer.

Fashion season has well and truly kicked off in Dublin, so right now it's all about who's in the FROW, what trends are in and getting around to all the parties.

After the madness of last Thursday night I joined a few journalists and the lovely girls from O'Hea PR for a day at Fairyhouse racecourse.

Let's go racing

It was my first time actually betting on a race, and although I have no idea how much I lost or won I came away only spending €2 (sounds good enough to me).

I wore my favourite black dress from H&M and had an absolute ball (see my racing post on Goss.ie HERE).

It's been a stressful few weeks to say the least, and there has been a lot of change in my life, but I always think change is good, as difficult as it can be.

2015 for me is all about focusing on the positives, so I will try post on here more often about what I'm up to and all the good things that are happening with the business and my production company as well as some fun little posts.

Director hat: The pilot is finished (yay)

I couldn't be happier with my TV pilot and we are having a private screening with the cast and crew next month, it will be insane to see it on a big screen and get everyone's reaction. 

The next few weeks will be mental with more events as the Jameson Dublin Film Festival kickstarting, and then it will be time for the VIP Style Awards and of course the IFTAs!

Business wise there are a lot of changes going on and a lot of exciting things happening soon, so lots of werk ahead of me.

PS!

I'm speaking at the Irish Blogger's Association Networking Breakfast in Dublin next Tuesday. You can get tickets HERE.
