February feels extra-ordinary …
How have we come over so practical all of a sudden? You don’t have to cartwheel through a wildflower field, but you can find pleasure by allowing yourself a few childlike pleasures, and letting some softness and spontaneity creep into your life. Read more in THE GLOSS Magazine out now.
In Moodboard, Susan Zelouf is finding joy in the extra-ordinary: she’s not loving doing the washing-up yet, but she is learning to identify the birds in her backyard while her husband puts the dishes away. Her message this month: look up, not down at your phone. Unless you’re reading a book, inspired by Dior’s gorgeous book totes emblazoned with famous titles. We recommend a fabulous green Ulysses tote in the Dior boutique at Brown Thomas Dublin or online, but they’re selling like hot cakes, so nab one before they’re sold out!
We hope to see you at our Wedding Salon event on April 19 at The Merrion: find out more and book your tickets soon to avoid disappointment.
