This week we meet Cork- based fashion blogger Margaret Urbanowicz, a 19-year-old sushi lover with a thing for black and white photography, high stilettos and styling. We look at how to make winter monochrome favourites work in this gorgeous spring weather.

Shoes
These shoes are the star of the show. They are your statement piece. You can keep it simple with your outfit with a pair of shoes like this. Best part of it all is that they are from our best mates in Dunnes who are kicking ass this season. Who knew, Dunnes-a diamond in the rough.
Savida at Dunnes Stores.

Zara is the king, queen and princess of classic design with a modern twist. The rockstars who design the Zara collections are streets ahead of their competitors and Zara is my number one place to go to get that designer look for a fraction of the price.
Urbanowicz has kept it simple with her pinstripe blouse creating her elegant and polished look. And not forgetting the age-old fashion tip that vertical stripes make you look taller . . . don’t they?
Striped shirt, Zara, €39.95

Bag
Michael Kors has grown in popularity with the brand’s return to classic design. From watches to bags, this label is killing it with its accessories.

Jeans
Frayed-edge denim has crept in everywhere. These jeans are a great way to incorporate this trend into your look.
From Urban Outfitters- exclusive label BDG, these jeans are made in a classic slim cut with raw edges and rip detail for a laid-back offbeat spin.
Raw edge ankle grazers by BDG, Urban Outfitters, €55.
