This week’s must do, see & buy
We promise you, this label will rekit your wardrobe with quality basics, with a reasonable price tag.
What’s more, you get Finery Notes with each purchase you make which converts into spending money.
Unlike points from loyalty cards which take ages to build up, you see a payback straight away (which goes against your next purchase).
It’s a breath of fresh air for anyone who’s looking for pieces that won’t date in a heartbeat and will last more than one go in the washing machine.
It made its debut here as a month long pop up at BT2 so for now, it’s online purchasing only.
If you think the ‘Golden Age’ mysteries of Agatha Christie et al were all genteel stories about country houses and village greens, Martin Edwards’ The Golden Age of Murder might make you think again.
Political radicals, poets turning to murder, repressed sexuality, mysterious disappearances and illegitimate children all feature here — and that’s just the authors.
A surprisingly witty scholarly work, the book blends the novels’ plots, the authors’ lives and their turbulent times as it explodes the myth that the ‘Golden Age of murder mystery’ was boring and clichéd. (Harper Collins, €29.50).
The last office obsession? Irish company, Superl!fe. Quite simply, they’ve transformed our breakfast — porridge will never be the same again.
Their Breakfast Topping, a healthy and tasty blend of five superfoods, in wholefood form, including hemp seeds, mulberries, chia seeds, goji berries, and cacao.
It is high in Omega 3, iron and fibre, to radically upgrade the nutritional value of breakfast, ensuring we stay fuller, more alert, and energised for longer. Whatever about all that, it tastes great.

Clinique has launched a new Mask Menu, a range of ‘at-home’ spa treatments for every skin type. We love the deep cleanse from the Pore Refining Solutions Charcoal Mask, €29.
Leave it on overnight (which is totally safe), and it has a great plumping effect that makes you look far more rested than you feel. Really, it’s such a waste of a great ingredients to take it off after 15 minutes.
They’re right on our doorstep so it’s really great to see Trabolgan up its game for summer 2015.
The pool, zip wire and go karts have always kept the older kids entertained but now they’ve got something special for the smallies too — Peppa Pig, George and Ben and Holly will be on site for meet and greets all summer.
That’s the toddlers sorted then...
