In champagne and seaweed

At last, champagne. A party is hosted at Bruno's on Kildare Street to celebrate the New Year and eh, well, Christmas. The women from Looks One PR company, Suzanne McGrath Jordan in aubergine and her colleague Louise Byrne in a dramatic dalmation faux-fur dress, are ready to rock. The Moet & Chandon in snipes is sipped from a straw. Others sip it from flutes.

For those who are stressed out from partying and want to wrap themselves in seaweed and loll, Sheila Curran and Joseph Fagan of Thalgo arrive just in the nick of time. We all loll and it's great.

Amongst those relaxing is Seamus O Scollain, one of Today FM's founders. Emer O'Reilly-Hyland, editor of VIP Style, and her younger sister, Orla Byrne-Kelly, are present also.
