Desire Lines: Cool French fashion and relaxed lingerie fittings
Some of what we're loving this weekend

The Parisian cool-girl brand is finally coming to Ireland.
Founded by Morgane Sézalory, Sézane has built its reputation on high-quality wardrobe staples offered at fair, accessible prices — while maintaining impressive eco-friendly credentials (the label is B-Corp certified).
We’ll be first in line.

Kaz Kearney noticed that when her son spent time surfing in the Atlantic Ocean it made a remarkable difference on the appearance of his hair and skin.
More importantly, his overall mental well-being improved.
Influenced by the therapeutic benefits of the sea and organic herbs from her garden she created Soak.
Driven by need for a more natural approach to self-care rituals, her brand of skin care, bath salts, sea sprays and candles are a mainstay in spas across the country.
Our favourite? The Soak Bedtime Bliss face & body serum, €48.90

We’re long-time fans of The Head Plan brand, founded by husband and wife duo Denise Kenny-Byrne and Ciaran Byrne.
Their classic journal and Daily Drench water bottles have become somewhat of a phenomenon among Irish women, and they have been given a serious refresh ahead of this year’s festive gifting season.
Think refined new typography, elegant colourways in espresso and burgundy, and a serious upgrade to the bestselling water bottle — the plastic ombré is now a sleek 800ml glass design with a protective silicone sleeve.

A recent article in our own Feelgood section reiterated just how important wearing the right bra is.
And with weight and hormonal changes impacting size, it’s important to get measured regularly – that means every 6-12 months.
We recommend Susan Hunter lingerie, the long-running lingerie store in Dublin’s Westbury Mall.
Within a minute, consultant Daina Creedon was able to tell us our size/s (it’s often two) and select a range based on our personal preferences.
The service is free, and there is no obligation to purchase – though once you’ve found ‘the one’, it’ll be difficult to leave without it.

Founded by sisters Eliza and Evie Ward, Nenagh-based Nutshed has become synonymous with delicious, wholesome peanut butter.
At this year’s Blas na hÉireann Irish Food Awards, the brand took home three prizes for its original, very crunchy and oat & maple crunch varieties.
They’ve just announced the return of a seasonal favourite in the form of their cinnamon and raisin flavoured PB. No better time to place an order.

Lawlor’s of Naas is embracing the festive spirit in style this November with an exclusive collaboration with the Council of Irish Fashion Designers (CIFD).
On Thursday, November 13, the hotel will be transformed into a chic Christmas marketplace featuring stands from leading CIFD designers and exclusive discounts from local boutiques including Aria, Fabucci and Nicola Ross.
Attendees will be welcomed with a festive cocktail and canapés as they browse fashion, jewellery, gifting and seasonal homewares from a selection of Irish design brands.
Following the shopping experience, a seasonal two-course dinner will be served in Vi’s Restaurant, accompanied by live jazz performances of Christmas classics.
Tickets are priced at €45 per person, with a special overnight package available at €125 per person sharing, including dinner, accommodation and breakfast.

The Lucy Nagle Ski Collection is made for the slopes, but it’s versatile to wear away from the snow too.
Stylish, warm, and vibrant, our favourite is the pink colourway.
Jumper, €140.
