Amanda Brunker to Judge Wexford Best Dressed Lady Competition

    DUBLIN, IRELAND, August 09, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Amanda, a well known journalist and columnist with The Sunday World and Dublin judge on RTE's The All Ireland Talent Show is hoping the Wexford ladies turn out in force this year and explains what she will be looking for on the day.

"I am looking for someone who is well groomed and unique. I like someone who has put an effort into their appearance. It's important to wear styles that compliment your shape and figure. It's all about body shape so dress to compliment yours. Customising is great, I love someone who has made their outfit their own and put a personal twist on it. I'm a girlie girl and love a bit of sparkle and dressing up but it's important not to wear everything at once, choose a hat or a necklace. Finally keep your look demure and ladylike -don't flash the flesh".

Geoff Scully, Commercial Director, Littlewoods Ireland commented 'We're delighted to be involved again with the summer racing season and the Best Dressed Ladies Series. Our celebrity judge Amanda Brunker will be on the lookout for Ireland's most stylish ladies in Wexford and we have some great prizes for everyone who takes part. We hope to see you there!"

Top Ten Tips for Ladies Day

1. Colour blocking is what it's all about this season. Loud colour combinations will show confidence and will ensure an eye catching outfit.

2. A bright hat or headpiece will complete any look and these statement pieces are a must have for ladies day.

3. Wear what you are comfortable in and don't be afraid to show your own individual style.

4. Comfortable wedges are the ideal footwear for a day at the races as they incorporate both style and comfort.

5. A colour coordinated shawl or wrap is the perfect fashion accessory that will have you prepared for the changeable Irish weather.

6. If you are wearing loud or colourful prints make sure you keep accessories to a minimum.

7. A clutch handbag is a stylish bag that can bring you from daywear to eveningwear and so is a great accessory for a day at the races.

8. Grooming and presentation is very important - Pay attention to detail and don't forget the manicure and pedicure.

9. A long-lasting makeup is a good idea - Alternatively bring a powder with you so you can touch up throughout the day. Remember your make up should be day appropriate.

10. Smile - it goes with everything and it never goes out of style.
