Fashion - Gro get it

To those who would have us believe that onesies are an acceptable form of attire for grown-ups, take it from us, they're not. If you're of voting age and you're wearing a babygro, something has gone terribly wrong. They're strictly for kids, like this adorable Little Joule Mitty spotty body suit, €27.37, asos.com.

Gifts - Dear Santa...

The Marvel Room is Brown Thomas's first foray into a proper gifting section and everything contained within is, they promise, unique and just that little bit special. If you have €37,505 handy, you could pick up a Tiffany snowflake diamond pendant; €4.50 will get you a jar of retro sweets. If Santa happens to be reading this, we've been extremely good this year so we'd like these 'Sarah Jessica Parker' Nicholas Kirkwood shoes, €560.

Fashion - Homme sweet homme

The French Connection autumn/winter campaign is meant to be some kind of witty commentary on French new wave cinema and features Paris scenester Franck Bobinski. You don't need to know that but you do need to know that the range is very debonair. Dog not included. Shirt €60; crombie coat, €245; trousers €110; shoes €145.

Interiors - Poster boy for recovery

Website Grand Grand Grand is keeping us amused these days. Here, you can pick up gems like this very Irish take on the classic British war slogan, ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’. The man behind the site, Fergus O’Neill, says he’ll give one euro back to the state for every poster sold and his objective is to sell 42 billion posters, thus half solving the banking crisis. How can he sell
42 billion posters? He has a
very big plan, he says… €20, Grandgrand.bigcartel.com

Fashion - A frilly good idea

Re-dress, the sustainable fashion organisation, has some brilliant DIY courses over the coming weeks, ranging from a beginner's guide to dress design to ultimate upcycling. We are intrigued by the French knickers and cocktail course, a two-hour class where you'll make your own frillies while sipping on a cocktail. €30, 7 December, 7-9pm, Hatch Street, Dublin 2. www.re-dress.ie

Beauty - Potional rescue

It's difficult not to be seduced by anything with 'potion' in its name but Aveda's Pure Abundance Hair Potion truly is magical. Thickening hair by 17%, it gives a matte finish, perfect for creating that bed-head, 'Sienna Miller does downtime' look. €25 from Harvey Nichols and salons

Art - As seen on TV

Paintings of scenes from the film The Sound of Music are included in Blaise Smith's interesting exhibition called Moving Pictures. He says that despite how often we spend looking at screens, TV and computers, these images are rarely painted. Other iconic images include the classic little girl from the BBC test card. It runs until 27 November, Molesworth Gallery, 16 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2.
