The fashion stakes were high at Limerick Racecourse on Sunday October 11 for the Keanes Jewellers Ladies Day competition. Ladies were treated to a prosecco reception and a fashion show in the Fashion Dome which housed a number of boutique stands. Celia Holman Lee was MC of the fashion show which featured beautiful fashions from Aisling Maher Millinery and Boutique, Adare and Marietta Doran had the tough task of judging the Keanes Jewellers Best Dressed competition with 79 ladies entering the competition.

 The highly coveted €4,000 diamond ring from Keanes Jewellers was won by Lisa McGowan from Tullamore, Co. Offaly. Lisa, who is an insurance broker wowed in her stunning teal cape by Marian Murphy Cooney and matching teal skirt by So Sew. Lisa completed her look with a black obi from Isobella Ru and a black and teal hat by Laura Hanlon Millinery. Lisa’s bag was from Dunnes Stores and her shoes were from Office. “I was delighted and relieved that I managed to get my nails painted as I only did them on the way down to Limerick in the car, otherwise the ring would have stayed in the box. I haven’t taken it off since”, Lisa said about her win.
