Kerry McKittrick takes a look at the fashion on show in Belfast city centre

This Week ...

Eve Brannon (27), Stylist, Belfast
My top came from Zara for £70 and I bought my necklace in Morocco for £1. My zipped leggings cost £40 in Topshop and my shoes were £30 in River Island. My bag also came from Zara for £25. My style is something of an eclectic mix. I do like designer labels but most of the time I tend to mix vintage and high street. My style icon is Olivia Palermo from The Hills because I think she dresses really well for her shape. I think Tulisa looks terrible. It's as if she has a stylist who keeps experimenting with her looks and nothing really works. My monthly spend is between £250-£300.

Brigid McCullagh (21), Student, Belfast
My dress cost £20, my socks were £3 and my earrings cost £4 and all came from H&M. My shoes were £25 in New Look. My style is best described as random. I like to wear bright colours and I'm always trying out new looks to see what works. I don't really follow trends though. My style icons are people like singers Pixie Lott and Eliza Dolittle — they're both quirky and nicely on trend without being boring. I don't like Britney Spears, though, because she always manages to look cheap. My monthly spend is around £60-£70.

Shelly McKernon (33), Administrator, Newtownabbey
My dress came from Zara and cost £70 and my necklace was about £2 in Majorca. I bought my belt for £10 and my shoes and bag for £30 each — all of them in River Island. My style is normally very colourful. I wear quite a lot of dresses and I really like making an effort when I go out. My style icon is Kate Moss. She wears lovely dresses and she knows how to accessorise them beautifully. I don't like the style of anyone from TOWIE. The tans and tattoos are not my thing at all. My monthly spend is around £200

Laura Leonard (43), Marketing Manager, Belfast
My dress came from Pretty Flamingo in Belfast for £95. I bought my shoes in Guess for £105. My Ted Baker bag cost £200. My style is a bit of a mixture. I travel a lot in my job so I like to buy individual clothes from boutiques and new designers so I'm not wearing the same thing as everyone else. My style icon is Victoria Beckham. No matter what she wears, she always looks sleek and elegant. I'm not keen on Rihanna. It might be an age thing but to me she looks terrible. My monthly spend is around £200.
