After a very busy year, THE GLOSS team longs for a cosy anti-social cocoon as much as the next woman. But, with our annual Christmas round-up designed to make life a bit sparklier, we too are embracing the seasonal rituals and conventions that bring such joy. Let there be lights!
While Rebecca Willis navigates December dress codes, Aislinn Coffey unlocks ways to nail party season style and celebrates on-trend textured golds.
Irish beauty stands out in our best of 2025 list, and Sarah Halliwell visits Montblanc Haus to experience the power of putting pen to paper.
Edel Coffey shares December releases and books about writing. Penny McCormick recommends escapes and affordable stays, as well as spiritual retreats in special places.
Susan Zelouf wraps up the year, Lara Marlowe celebrates bravery, and historian Antonia Hart uncovers the surprising history of the commercial lives of Irish women. Polly Vernon hits snooze, and Deirdre Adams explores loss and hope.
Kitty Coles creates a concise Christmas menu for a crowd, Julie Dupouy explores festive food and wine traditions, Ciara McQuillan finds restaurants for celebrations, and cookery writer Skye McAlpine whips up delicious dishes for her favourite time of year.
Discover our Glossy Gift Guide, inspired by THE GLOSS Gala, and muses including Miuccia Prada, Victoria Wol?, Olivia Dean and Bruce Springsteen.
And we reveal our annual THE GLOSS X The Shopkeepers 100 Best Shops Ireland 2025. We’re thrilled to see so many new stores joining the list which is online now!
For all of this and much more, don’t miss THE GLOSS every month …
