Name: Lorraine Turner O cc u p a t i o n : Fa m i ly business/ The Red Hen Bar From: N ew p o r t

'M originally from Newport but I'm living in Dooradoyle for about 14 years now. During this time I've been modelling for the IHolman Lee Agency, so fashion has always been a huge part of my life. I’ve always had a huge interest in fashion from a very young age. I love mixing high street with designer clothes, such as a great dress or outfit from Zara teamed with a good pair of designer shoes and a leather jacket. I love buying good investment pieces and been able to pull them out of my wardrobe whenever I need to. My favourite shops are Brown Thomas and Zara and I love labels such as Isabel Marant and Helmut Lang. I adore Victoria Beckham and Olivia Palermo for their great style. Even though I’m more likely to be seen in workout gear; health and fitness are a huge part of my life, so I enjoy getting dressed up on my days off.

LORRAINE SAYS The outfit: My coat is Vince and my top is Isabel Marant which I got in Brown Thomas. My jeans and boots are Zara.

Accessories: : My belt is Isabel Marant which I bought online and my necklace is from Seoidin Limerick. My bag is YSL which was a Christmas present from my husband
