Emma lets down her new blonde locks in Lillie's

The Dublin beauty is obviously enjoying her two-week break from her teacher training course at St Pat's college. As well as hitting the party scene with a vengeance, she was in Ceira Lambert's salon for several hours last Wednesday after ditching her brunette tresses for a whole new look.

Other familiar faces at Lillie's included RTE funnywoman Katherine Lynch, celebrity chef Dylan McGrath, rugby commentator Brent Pope, Dragon's Den star Niall O'Farrell and Dublin groups The Thrills and Boulevard.

The bosses at Assets model agency were also enjoying a night out as Courtney O'Hara celebrated her birthday with pal Derek Daniels.

Meanwhile celeb couple Pippa O'Connor and Brian Ormond (inset) helped their pal Spin 103's Garrett Gunnigle celebrate his engagement to Erica Leahy at a Castleknock restaurant.

Niall Breslin recorded his entire audience at a Teen Aware gig in Tullamore on Friday night shouting out a big congrats to the newly engaged couple, which he then posted on Garrett's Facebook wall.
