Award-winning fashion blogger to judge Best Dressed at Kilbeggan Races

With just a few days to go to the largest race meet of the year at Kilbeggan Racecourse, head judge of the event, sponsored by Wineport Lodge and Dundrum Town Centre, has been announced as fashion stylist and award-winning fashion blogger Nuala Gorham.  
Nuala Gorham is the name behind the hugely popular fashion and travel blog Penny and Polaroids - a visual journal of personal style, fashion and beauty.
Penny and Polaroids has won two highly acclaimed blog awards including Ireland’s Best Fashion Blog 2013 and Highly Commended International Blog for Company Magazine’s Blog Awards 2014 in the UK.
Nuala founded the website and social channels in late 2012 as a creative outlet to express her inspirations and love of fashion. Her chronicles of her personal style and lifestyle have garnered work with many leading brands in the industry as well as features in publications including Vogue. Nuala has worked with some of the industry’s leading fashion houses including Shopbop, Daniel Wellington, River Island, Primark, Asos, Parfois, Missguided, Tommy Hilfiger, Boohoo, Urban Decay and many more.
Nuala has also received style acclaim from the world’s leading fashion publications such as Vogue.com, Grazia Magazine, Stylist Magazine, W Magazine, House of Fraser, Asos, Look Magazine, Stellar and Xposé magazine.
Aside from styling, Nuala is a freelance fashion journalist and has written for The Irish Daily Star Chic Magazine, House of Fraser, The Galway Advertiser and OohLaLa Magazine.
Nuala is looking for an on-trend yet appropriate outfit that both emphasizes and compliments your own body shape and showcases your own individual sense of style.
