Weekend Loves: Stylish Irish design and a masked mystery man
Some of what we're loving this Weekend.
Third-generation family business Jack Murphy specialises in tailored separates and outerwear that are extremely flattering, timeless and practical.
Combining rich experience in the business with an eye on current trends, father and daughter Michael and Sarah Murphy have produced a terrific, wearable collection this season with pieces that will work hard in your wardrobe for years to come.
Using great quality fabrics such as Irish and British wool and quality waxed and waterproof materials, the range includes beautiful coats and jackets that are perfect for both country and city living.
Some of our favourites include the Shauna tweed coat, the Cotswolds waxed jacket and the Enya long culottes.
- The collection is available in Kilkenny Design, Weavers of Ireland, Foxford Woollen Mills and at jackmurphy.ie.
Catch your beauty sleep in style in one of the beautifully refurbished bedrooms at Dublin’s Dylan Hotel this autumn.
Tucked away just off Baggot Street in the city, the Dylan Hotel is a five-star boutique hotel within walking distance of many of the capital’s shopping and tourist hotspots and an elegant place to enjoy afternoon tea, an evening meal or a cocktail.
The bedrooms at the Dylan have recently been redesigned and refurbished and pay respect to the Victorian history of the building whilst blending a contemporary and cosy aesthetic.
Think colourful velvet and warm wood furnishings alongside pretty patterned fabrics and beautiful bathrooms. A great base for a city break in Dublin.
They say there’s no such thing as a free lunch, but free yoga classes? Why, certainly!
Three+ has teamed up with leading yoga studio Yogahub to offer its customers free yoga classes starting today at The Chocolate Factory in Dublin and continuing online.
The collaboration is the first of many collaborations that will see Three+ partner with various brands to offer deals to customers.
Not only are these two great events taking place today for beginners and more advanced yoga practitioners but customers can also access a free three-month subscription to Yogahub’s online studio classes.
Keep your eye out for more upcoming offers too.
Known as ‘Banksy’s rich benevolent twin’, the mysterious Art Riddler is known for his support of the arts through his exhibitions and ‘life-changing’ prize monies.
This year’s exhibition runs this weekend at Studio 10 and features 50 artists meticulously hand-chosen by the Art Riddler including Sophie Vigne Welsh, David Hamilton, Mary O’Connor, Peter Smyth and Andrea Kavanagh.
The Studio 10 Dublin exhibit is open to the general public and visitors can expect to see a wide range of work from painting and sculpture to photography and other forms of artistic expression. 12 to 5pm.
As Autumn evenings draw in and the desire to move indoors settles upon us, luxury Irish perfumer Cloon Keen has just released a perfect scent in Armarius.
Inspired by the world of the ancient Irish scriptorium where scribes carefully crafted their manuscripts, be transported back in time with the evocative scent of Clary Sage, Eucalyptus and Thyme with smoky Tonka and Cedarwood.
Woody and warming, it is the perfect scent as darkness descends. €45.
- Available at the Cloon Keen boutiques in Dublin and Galway and at cloonkeen.com.
For many of us a trip to the hair, beauty or nail salon is not just for maintenance but also a major treat, however, the cost can certainly add up with a two-week manicure in a salon costing anything upwards of €30 to €35.
The female-founded 14 Day Mani brand was established in 2014 by Suzanne Fowler after a “light-bulb moment”.
The at-home gel manicure system is designed to be easy to use and affordable so that after the initial outlay you can do your own nails at home while saving money on regular salon trips.
The starter kit including lamp, tools, top and base coat and four colours of your choice costs €79.
The slick presentation makes this a brilliant gift for any beauty lover and the new AW23 collection includes tasty chocolate shades, velvety black tones, trend-led neutrals, and, of course, plenty of sparkle for the festive season.
