How would you describe your autumn/winter style?

My A/W style is classic, with an edgy twist. I love putting together monochromatic looks by mixing blacks, whites and greys, but I always like to add a splash of something different, whether it be a faux fur layer, or some off-beat accessories.

Who are your biggest influences when it comes to the way you dress?

I love reading other fashion blogs, I think they’re wonderful for relatable, achievable, fashion inspiration.

I started my blog, ciaraodoherty.com about five years ago, and that was the start of my love-affair and passion for fashion, and expressing myself through my outfits.
