Desire Lines: Portugese brand Salsa brings the wide-leg jean back around
Some of what we're loving this weekend.
The latest addition to Portuguese jeanswear brand Salsa’s ‘Push-In’ collection is the wide leg (we told you it was back in a big way).
The range is known for its flattering fit which keeps you comfortably held in, and this relaxed wide leg variety is the perfect way to elevate your style as we head into a new season.
Available in Medium Wash, Mix Denim and Dark Blue colours. €110.
Today, to mark the 20th anniversary of Cork Heritage Open Day, over 35 buildings will open their doors to the public for free.
Initially launched by Cork City Council for European Capital of Culture in 2005, the festival includes walks, talks, and exhibitions.
It’s a unique opportunity to explore buildings which are not routinely open to the public or charge a fee, including Quaker Meeting House, Military Museum Collins Barracks, Heineken Ireland,
Riverstown House, Cork Baptist Church, and the North Monastery.
Guided tours will also take place in English and in Irish in AIB 66 South Mall and in the Lord Mayor’s Office and Council Chamber.
The programme also includes a wide range of family friendly events and historical city walks.
If, like us, you’re slowly transitioning from your regular coffee to a matcha, you’ll be delighted to hear PerfectTed, Europe’s largest matcha brand, has just launched in Ireland.
Along with their ceremonial-grade powders, €14.50, and matcha-fuelled energy drinks, €2.50 for 250ml, they bring matcha nespresso pods, €7 for ten, to the market, making it easier than ever to get your green fix.
Find them in retailers across Ireland, including Tesco and Dunnes Stores.
The Ivy on Dublin’s Dawson Street is making the most of the warmer-than-usual days with a vibrant new summer menu.
Think heirloom tomato and watermelon salad, prawn tagliatelle, and chargrilled halloumi on spiced fregola.
And for dessert? We have to recommend the honey and white chocolate cheesecake served with mango sorbet and edible flowers.
One course €24.95, two courses €32.95, or three courses €39.95.
