Tara and Joe made the cutest couple at The Dublin Spring Fair that kicked off this weekend at the Leopardstown Racecourse.

The first ever ‘Dublin Spring Fair’ is inspired by the hugely popular American State Fairs and features an exciting line-up of entertainment, carnival, a vibrant market and crazy rides to start the summer off on the right note. Running for two more weekends till May the 13th and with a line up that includes Shaggy and 21 Demands, what more can you ask for? Tickets are €10 and the fun begins at 2pm!

Michelle Rawat shows how it’s done for a fun day out at the fair! Does anyone else think she bears a striking resemblance to Jada Pinkett-Smith?

The fashion scene at the fair was eclectic, from casual comfortable sweaters to festival-ready boots and denim, all kinds of styles were go!

In our ever relentless pursuit of stylish street looks, Fashion Filosofy visited the Temple Bar Fashion and Design Market held every Saturday in Cow’s Lane. With vintage clothes stalls, up and coming independent designers and organic clothing, it is a treasure trove of original and fascinating pieces.

The Belle Etik stall stands out from the rest with its beautifully designed creations. They stock Le Vie Devont Soie purses and bags hand-crafted by a Cambodian co-op and designed by a French engineer. Belle Etik clearly believes in the concept of ethical fashion with fair trade silk scarves and recycled cashmere. If you happen upon this delightful stall, be warned you won’t be able to tear yourself away from their luxuriously soft and appliquéd cashmere tops.

If you are tired of the high-street stores and looking for a little something different, check out Dancing Dragon Designs. Featuring vintage clothes, hand-crafted jewellery and accessories, proprietor Courtney Tyler displays her wares at the Temple Bar Fashion Market and The Loft in the Powerscourt Centre.

Amidst the shorts and shades at the DCU Summer Ball, we spotted some serious eighties’ inspired retro style.
