Designed by Amy Condell in Donegal and manufactured by a team of seamstresses in Galway, conscious label Imara Earth hits close to home. The latest collection speaks to balmy Mediterranean evenings, suggesting slouchy co-ords, elasticated waistbands, large pockets and relaxed cuts. Sign us up! www.imaraearth.com.
At Choice Boutique, the remit for spring summer is romance and femininity – particularly when it comes to soft prints and statement colours. However, the silhouettes turn heads, too. A case in point is the one-shouldered floral dress by Exquise, €230. www.choiceboutique.com.
Meanwhile, the Nordic aesthetic takes over at Dunnes Stores, where the just-launched Verte collection (a part of the Gallery range) channels a Scandinavian love of minimalism and utilitarian touches. Think satin slip skirts, go anywhere blazers and cowl-neck slip dresses for special occasions, with a palette of navy, white and oyster cream. The stripes in the collection are noteworthy too – from trendy striped polo necks to of-the-moment polo shirts such as this one, pictured, for €25.   www.dunnesstores.com.
Free from harmful chemicals, naturally hypoallergenic and with antibacterial properties, a pair of silk pyjamas is as much self-care as good sense. The latest drop from silk specialist Debbie Millington is worth the investment price tag – the prints are exquisite. From €295. www.debbiemillington.com.
