Sharon Tucker’s weekly Style Secrets November 22nd, 2016 – The months seem to be flying by and now suddenly Christmas is upon us. Getting your wardrobe winter-ready can be a task and quite daunting not to mention expensive sometimes. But it doesn’t have to be, with just a few tricks and some money saving ideas you can transform last year’s collection into something that looks completely different. By just using your old reliable black dress you can jazz it up with some colorful accessories, I like to add a bright colored neck piece, wear a poncho or a nice pair of glittery shoes. The same applies to a work suit, try introducing a different color scarf, with so many styles to choose from and something that is worth investing in. Lots of friends of mine swap handbags which is a great saving tip and it seems you have something new without having to pay for it. When you do go shopping get inspiration from the dressed mannequins on display as they will be dressed by indoor stylists so you will pick up a few tips. I’ve learned so much this week from Stylist Anne-Marie Gannon while modeling for Ross Morgan on the RTE Today Show which came at the perfect time as I was asked to be a customer stylist for Pamela Scott in the Crescent at the weekend. I enjoy showing ladies how to dress for their shape, size, and age which I think is the first rule for your individual style. By applying these few tips and tricks you will see a big difference to your winter wardrobe.

It’s so hard to keep the children entertained indoors in the winter, but I heard about this new venue that has just opened called “Share a Dream Dreamland Fun Centre” in Limerick. It is now opened for bookings with a theme of The Magic of Christmas for all the little ones. Meet Santa Clause, the Snow Queen and lots more characters and fun in this magical wonderland set indoors. All funds go to help Share a Dream continue making dreams come true for terminal children and all their other projects. Find out more on their twitter page twitter.com/shareadream

The perfect Christmas gift for someone close or abroad who loves Limerick history. “Limerick through the Lens “contains numerous pictures from the Limerick Leader newspaper’s unrivaled archive which only came to light in recent months, after being developed from the original negatives decades after they were first taken. A number of the pictures are appearing in print for the first time

There are plenty of famous faces included, such as Terry Wogan, Mike Murphy, Dolores O’Riordan, Celia Holman Lee Phil Lynott, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Richard Harris and John F. Kennedy. Mostly, though, the pictures feature ordinary local people at work or at play, shopping, celebrating, and doing something that caught the attention of the paper’s staff photographers down the years.

Fashion Diary – Sharon Tucker’s weekly Style Secrets November 22nd, 2016

MONDAY DECEMBER 19 2016 – SUNDAY JANUARY 8 2017 Beauty and the Beast.

It’s almost PANTO time….oh yes it is!!

The 2016/2017 University Concert Hall panto, Beauty and the Beast, is now on sale! Following last year’s smash hit, sell-out success, the gang is back for this hilarious take on a tale as old as time!

Beauty and the Beast tells the story of Belle and the dreaded Beast in his lonely castle. Belle is beautiful, the Beast is – ahem – beastly and Gaston is more mad about himself than Kim and Kanye combined! Their lives entwine when Belle becomes imprisoned in the Beast’s castle and has to contend with a host of well-meaning crockery. Gaston quickly decides he is the only man to save her (and think of the super cool selfies he’ll get leading the angry mob!#Hero), while the Beast gradually changes his scary ways when faced with Belle’s beauty. Starring Karl Spain, George McMahon, Richie Hayes, Richard Lynch, Leanne Moore, Aoibhin Garrihy, Myles Breen, Tom O’Mahony, John Brannoch! – Tickets available at www.uch.ie Sharon Tucker’s weekly Style Secrets November 22nd, 2016
