Hey there Delila!

Melissa December 13th, 2008

I had such a lovely time yesterday photographing style columnist and guru- the very french and very fab Delila.  Delila has a weekly column in the Galway Advertiser with great tips and tricks to make us all more gorgeous.  We were graciously allowed to use the Burren Suite in the Radison Hotel and I have to say that if you haven’t seen the new decor in the lobby, bar and cafe area you should go check it out as it looks better than it ever has- very swank!  I took this photo of Delila before we officially started our shoot.  We had just had a little chat and a coffee but I thought the warm rich colours of the cafe suited her beautifully.  I have loads more gorgeous shots that we took in the Burren Suite but haven’t had a chance to process them yet.

Here is an article in the advertiser with some advice from Delila.

If you are in the process of trying to pick your wedding dress, sort out your bridesmaids and are feeling a bit lost why not give Delila a ring- she can definitely help you discover your ‘wow’ dress! You can ring Delila at (087) 6391956.

what a great week!

This will be short as it’s past my bedtime but I just feel like shouting from the rooftops (or the cyberspace equivelant)!  Two really cool things happened this week- Lily won 1st prize in the school raffle, a beautiful shiny pink bike, and I bought my first horse.  I have wanted a horse as long as I can remember- every year it was top of my santa list but miraculously no horse ever appeared under the tree.  Well, its good to be a grown up sometimes- I bought myself an early christmas present:

Lovejoy is his name and he is the sweetest teddybear of a horse- a pure pet!

Absolutely the best present I’ve ever recieved- even if it did come from me :)
