A cursory glance at Joanna Cluskey’s Instagram page and you might think she leads a perfect life. The 42-year-old mother of three and primary school teacher, from Galway City, also works as a model and a stylist, and has amassed 74.5k followers in just three years on her account, @stylebyjo.
Mostly of her online posts reflect her love of high street fashion, as she excitedly tells her followers about the ‘perfect’ pair of jeans shorts, or where to buy the cardigan of the season. But there are also pictures of her holidaying in Spain with her family or attending events. Glamorous and vivacious, she has a likeable, down-to-earth manner.
