Dublin Horse Show RDS

What style there was at Thursdays Dublin Horse Show, not to mention the after party style @theShelbournehotel. 

We've a few picks to share with you

This is one of my favourite equestrian looks EVER, with a twist! Smart, classic and ever so sexy Lorraine in our AW15 collection. Velvet headpiece finished with a leather bow at the back 

Next up is stylist and fashionista Laura Mullett. The stunning @lauramullettstylist is wearing our rose gold half moon headpiece @dublinhorseshow. Contemporary with a romantic twist.


Third look of the day is from the chic Amanda Longmore. Amanda is wearing a felt and leather French style piece from our A/W collection. Very classic Parisian chic. 


Next we have The glamorous Georgina in a stunning Cadbury purple felt hat. Doesn't she look stunning! 

Last up we have ourselves; Pregnant, sisters, business partners and also due the same day. 4 weeks to Due day eeekkkkk. We scrub up well; all things considered. Jane on the left is wearing a taupe felt and wine faux leather disk, very architectural. Sandra on the right is wearing a fushia beret with pheasant feathers. You can still feel glam and heavily pregnant ladies!!! 


Hope this has given you some Autumn Winter inspiration #hatspiration

The Design House held their second annual fashion show last month at St Ann’s Church on Dawson Street. Ireland’s emerging fashion and jewelry designers showcased their Spring/Summer collections at the charity fashion show in aid of The Heart & Lung Appeal at The Mater Hospital Foundation. The Design House on Dawson Street is home to some of the best young Irish fashion, jewelry and craft designers. Fashion, knitwear, bridal, evening wear, millinery and jewelry collections from 30 different designers were showcased at the event. Bebhinn Flood, founder of The Design House said: ‘We are staging the show in order to showcase the exceptionally strong young design talent we have at The Design House.’ ‘These designers have a wide range of specialties including daywear, knitwear, evening wear and bridal as well as jewellery and millinery so it will make for a varied and interesting show.’ The show was to honour the memory of Helen Fennell who received a heart transplant but sadly passed away last December aged just 18. Helen is the grand-daughter of The design House shareholder and mentor John Fennell. Proceeds from this event will go to the Heart & Lung Appeal at the Mater Hospital Foundation.’ Check out the stunning January Winters from a recent photo shoot with The Design House on Dawson St to launch the Fashion Show.

Valentines Day, our one true love in Millinery



Hi All, in the spirit of Valentines day we wanted to share with you our one true love, Millinery!

www.princesspalles.com was formed our of a hat passion for luxury affordable fashion. We noticed that high quality millinery at a high street cost was not easy to find, plus the colour never quite matched the dress we wanted to wear! And so Princess Palles Millinery facebook page was born and then came www.princesspalles.com in the summer of 2012.

All our pieces are designed and handmade by ourselves (Jane & Sandra) to a high standard and come fully lined. We are CCOI members since November 2013. All our pieces can be customised in any colour or we can make bespoke commissioned pieces.


We operate from our home studio in Dublin and welcome customers to visit us there. We also sell via www.swoop.ie and supply a number of retail stores in the Leinster area and plan to grow this reach in 2014. 

Watch out for Princess Palles Millinery SS14 collection launching in the coming weeks. We have 3 distinct collections that we are very excited about.
