Hello Sunshine
Create a vacation feel with your staycation at home...
With the arrival of the summer weather, and warm conditions (hopefully) expected, an Irish summer has never looked more promising. It’s important to make the most of these days, and as much as possible, treat them like you would a sunny day on holiday.
Whether that’s basking in swimwear in the garden, a stroll to explore nearby areas, an outdoor picnic in the park, dinner served al fresco or a refreshing sea swim, the Irish summer is your oyster.
1. Soaking Up The Sun
Sun in style with Melissa Obadash Bora Bora Swimsuit or the Catalina Stripe Halterneck Swimsuit. You may not feel like you’re in the tropics, but with a seasonal print, the comfort of a good book and a refreshing beverage will provide all the escapism you need. Try Clarins Sun Care Body Cream 50+ for very high skin protection and hydration, and Ray-Ban’s Polar Aviator Sunglasses for a cool iconic aesthetic.
2. Take To The Outdoors
There’s a lot to be said for an old fashioned picnic. Once you’ve found the perfect shaded spot, place down your picnic blanket and unpack the delicacies. For a truly beautiful piece of Irish design created by master craftspeople in Mayo, enjoy the cashmere blend throw from Foxford. Elevate the experience with Champagne Flutes from LSA International, and channel the summer with the Melissa Odabash tie-dyed ruffled maxi dress. An Irish picnic has never felt so picturesque.
3. A Dip In The Ocean
Whilst a swim in the Irish sea may not sound like the most alluring of activities (depending on the day’s temperatures), there are few things more invigorating in the world.
For swimwear, try the Adagio one-piece swimsuit from Australian brand Jets. The sea-inspired geometric design is a sea swim essential, fitted with adjustable straps and hidden mesh for added support.
Or if sea swimming just isn’t on the cards, experience some of the benefits with Adagio one-piece swimsuit from Australian brand Voya’s Lazy Days Seaweed Bath providing all the nourishing benefits of the seaweed but from the comfort of your bath. Enjoy this with West Cork candle brand, Adagio one-piece swimsuit from Australian brand La Bougie's Honeysuckle and Sea Salt diffuser to complete your Irish sea swim experience.
4. Al-Fresco Dining
No Irish evening meal outdoors would be complete without a garden heater. Try Australian brand, Heatstrip, for a stylish yet efficient heating performance. For a BBQ that offers style, performance, functionality and luxury, the Grandhall Maxim G4 is a real stand out.
Create the sound of the summer with the Sonos Move Wireless Smart Speaker, providing brilliant sound anywhere (both outdoor and indoor listening), and weatherproof and drop-resistant hardware – an essential for the Irish summer. For an outdoor scented candle, try diptyque’s Baies scented candle, made exclusively by hand. This scented candle recalls a bouquet of roses and blackcurrant leaves.
Embrace exotic destinations by adding a subtle nod of their signature style to your outdoor dining table. Look to brands such as Octaevo and Raawii for inspiration.
Make the most of your staycation and bring the Out Of Office feeling and vacation mode to your own home.
