Diary | Dr Maria Nimako Does Cork
Dr Maria Nimako is the owner of private dental practice Twenty Dental in Gosport Hampshire. Last weekend her husband and her flew to Cork Ireland for a wedding and here’s her document of it. Enjoy.
So I have never been to Ireland but over years have made a lot of Irish friends who raved about their homeland. So when the opportunity to visit the emerald isle came up I wasn't going to say no.
My husband's school friend was getting married to an Irish lady so we boarded the Ryan air flight (delayed)! And landed in beautiful Cork.
We stayed at the wonderful Maryborough hotel and spa and were treated with the warmest welcome.
Don’t fly Ryan Air, the delays!
We are here at arrivals
The hotel is Marlborough hotel and spa.we arrived at night.
Getting ready for the wedding. Taking selfies.What to wear was decided by scrolling through fashionnova site on my lunch break. I knew I had to stay away from black (my favourite look)and went for red.
On the way to the wedding.
The food.
Here you see my outfit by @fashionova .Braids are by me.
I a fab time in Ireland and would definitely visit again. It was nice to have a weekend away with the hubby but I was glad to get back to my boys.
Thanks to Maria for sharing her trip with us.
It looked absolutely fabulous!

Inspiration | Diana Ross Mahogany
Diana Ross's wardrobe in the film Mahogany gives me closet envy. The crisp luxurious whites, the drama of the gowns, the glamour, the accessories, Diana herself…it was a triumph. Designed by the legendary singer herself, the costumes she wore inspires. Take inspiration from the hues and textures of the 70s. Think tan or burgundy boots, plaid separates, turtlenecks, Halston inspired gowns and more. Be inspired.
