KILLARNEY blogger Laura Mac Sweeny has been nominated for a coveted award. Laura is in the running for the most stylish blogger at the Hi Style Awards which will be presented on November 12 in the Cork Convention Centre in the Clayton Silver Springs Hotel in Cork.

The fully sold-out event is a Munster's biggest celebration of style recognizing a number of businesses and individuals across the fashion industry. This year the event will be styled by Brown Thomas. "I am just delighted to be amongst all the other amazingly stylish nominees and am looking forward to the event,” said Laura, who is frequent contributor to Killarney Advertiser.

Laura is passionate about working with local brands and boutiques and has already collaborated with business such as Kerry's Boutique, MacBees and Sean Taaffe Hair & Beauty in Killarney .She is also a huge supporter of Irish design having collaborated with local designers and milliners such as Rebekkah Wall (Tralee) and Cathy Troth (Killarney) in recent months.

Whilst Laura uses the blog to showcase her passion for design and styling she also uses it as a forum to write about more personal topics and life experiences.

"Fashion is always a focus in every feature I do but I think it's important to write about things that actually matter and that people can relate to in their every day lives,” said Laura.

“I've written about a number of topics from anxiety to making life-changing decisions to every days acts of kindness, It's always my personal experiences that get me the most feedback out of anything I share on my blog and that means a great deal to me."
