As the brand marks the 10th anniversary of their launch, a new limited edition shade sees Clarins trademark colour reinvented as Iconic Red, shade n° 54. A tribute to the brand's founding date. The jumper Recently, a window display in Carrolls Irish Gifts caught our eye. We used to think the shop was just for tourists, but as wearing your Irishness on your sleeve becomes more in vogue, we wondered if more Irish might be popping in for a nose themselves... then Lana Del Rey wore the Guinness jumper and we had our answer. It's cool. €49.95 The family day out Laura Sullivan (6, Glanmire), Olivia Phillips (6, Youghal) and Isabel Phillips (3, Youghal), having fun in the labyrinth, a hidden gem on the grounds of St Fin Barres Cathedral, one of the many attractions on the new Cork City Playful Culture Trail.

On two Saturday afternoons, July 12 and 19, she'll be teaching sewing skills to children. They'll design their own 'creature' and hand and machine sew their creations.
