If you were to ask me about my favourite country in the whole world (and I have traveled a lot), nothing and nowhere will ever beat Italy. The cities. The countryside. The people. The fashion. The food. Oh my God, the FOOD. Gelato, pizza, pasta, and let’s not even start on the wine… Italy will […]

Halle Berry is one hot mama-of-two. Meaning, of course, the minute she steps foot on a red carpet all eyes are on her. Which is what happened this weekend, when the 50-year-old(!) actress attended the 16th annual Chrysalis Butterfly Ball in Los Angeles, wearing a eye-catching and rather figure-hugging sequin frock. In the snaps from […]

Well, these sound familiar. Giving newborns a distinctly Irish name has been very popular for some time now – here in Ireland. But now it seems our gorgeous monikers are catching on across the Atlantic as well, at least if MyDomaine.com is to be believed.

Time to glow up. It could be in our heads, but we definitely feel better (and healthier and skinnier) with a tan. And just because we don’t want to risk our skin by sitting out in actual sunshine, fake tan it is. Sadly, getting the perfect glow can be expensive. I have been a longstanding fan of the […]

A proper grown-up treat. We’ve all had sangria before (sure what else would you be doing with yourself on holidays in Spain?), but have you tried the slushie variety? If not, you’ve seriously been missing out. The best bit? This cocktail practically makes itself in the blender. Just throw everything in, pour into a pan and […]

The Hanacure is the cult face mask that is going Insta viral these days – much thanks to actress Drew Barrymore, who recently posted a picture of herself wearing it. The mask (from Korea – where else) is said to ‘make your face age 100 years while you are wearing it, then make you look […]

Nothing says summer is here like a crisp, cold glass of wine, whether your preference is white or rosé. However, nothing can put a damper on things like arriving home from the shops with your luke-warm bottle of vino and having to wait ages (and ages) for it to chill. And while we have all […]

If there is one trend you need to know about this summer – no matter how blasé you normally are about all things fashion – it is the embroidered sleeve.

In the name of youthful skin, the majority of us are willing to go to fairly great lengths. In fact, the beauty industry is making an absolute mint from selling us creams, serums and masks to keep our complexions smooth, glowing and wrinkle-free.

But insanely popular as the above are (and […]
