The Detail - Hit for six
Bring on the Pimms, cricket bats and floppy hats and let garden-party season begin. This super-fresh prom-style dress by London label Fever is totally putting us in the mood. It's €146 and available at Twice as Nice, Galway, and Lisboa, Cork. Tel: 01 492 5007 for further stockists.
The Statement - Toe the line
With sculptural heels and beyond-luxe sandals vying for pole position this summer, the prize for show-off shoe of the season definitely goes to the toe-less boot. These Givenchy ones from Cocobelle (€610) are simply divine. Cocobelle is at the Hibernian Way, Dublin 2.
The Steal - Leg it for Lipsy
Ready to get those legs out for summer? Get in the mood with this flirty number by Lipsy which is just too cute to be hidden from sight. It's a snip at just €55 online at www.lipsy.co.uk. Lipsy is also now open at the Dundrum Shopping Centre.
Insider...
Here's a really nice event you are going to want to know more about. Next Friday, 5 June, the Odessa Club, Dublin, hosts a small salon event on its roof garden, when designer Mary Temperley (sister of Alice) will be selling her handmade jewellery of silver, gold, rose quartz, onyx and tanzanite. Numbers are limited to 50 so get on the list by emailing Hannah at hannah@bpcm.com
New stats reveal that eight out of 10 men now carry manbags but, knowing how shopping shy you all are, we still reckon you're not buying them on the high street. Clearly the word is out about manbagcompany.com, which has a huge range of handmade bags in soft Spanish leather in all shapes and sizes. Best of all, they're delivered directly to your door. Sweet.
And speaking of bags, not a day goes by without an email from the Louis Vuitton press office screaming about another celebrity wearing LV this or LV that. The Kalahari bag pictured here was most recently seen on the arm of Beyoncé. We rather like its slouchy off-duty shape. Wonder will she wear it when she flies into Dublin this week?
