This time last year, we were #blessed by the Joanne Hynes collection for Dunnes Stores, which sold out super quick (people literally qued up for hours to shop the goods!)

Anyway, there were STUNNING fur coats, massive pops of cour and a metallic skirt we're still not over. 

Twelve months later, and we are ready for Joanne's newest collection, which launched in Dunnes Stores this week. 

Can I get a HALLELUJAH? 

Anyway, we were lucky enough to pop in to the gorgeous Dunnes to have a gawk at the beautiful clothes, and we were not disappointed. 

The collection was a refreshing burst of colour, with silk shirts, embellished collars and stand-out coats winning our hearts. 

The amazing Joanne took inspiration from strong historical Irish women, namely Maud Gonne and Constance Markievicz, with a nod to military styles. 

Now, naturally, we have our favourite pieces, which we simply MUST share with you. 

Firstly, we were OBSESSED with the embellished head bands, that gave us serious Blair Waldorf vibes. 

How GORGEOUS?

Then, we locked eyes with a pair of velvet heels, that literally made our heart flutter with autumnal excitement.

Our FAVOURITE piece in the entire collection was, naturally, the beautiful red military-style coat.

Prices for this marvellous collection start at just €25, and go up to a pretty pricey €950 – so there is something for every budget! 

However, it is set to sell out pretty darn fast (not surprising), so get your butts to Dunnes ASAP.

After four years spent in an Egyptian prison, Dublin native, Ibrahim Halawa, has been acquitted of all charges and is expected to be released in the following days.

The 21-year-old was among hundreds of protestors who were arrested during a Muslim Brotherhood demonstration in Cairo in August 2013. He has just 17-years-old at the time.

The verdict comes after Ibrahim’s trail was adjourned 25 times due to the complications of a mass trail.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said he “wholeheartedly welcomes this conclusion,” and will facilitate his return to Ireland at the “earliest opportunity”.

“I want to acknowledge the consular and diplomatic work undertaken on Ibrahim’s behalf by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Irish Embassy in Cairo throughout this lengthy process. Following today’s verdict, they will continue to assist Ibrahim and his family to ensure he gets home as soon as possible.”

Ireland's aviation commission say Ryanair must offer its customers an alternative flight or a full refund if a service is cancelled.

Last week, the budget airline announced that it would cancel up to 50 flights a day for the next six weeks after it mismanaged its employee holiday rota.

The company have so far released details of cancellations up to and including Wednesday, September 20, however, there are now calls for management to publish the full list of cancelled flights as customer's frustration begins to grow.

Ireland's Commission for Aviation Regulation is due to meet to discuss the ongoing situation and say it expects some passengers will be entitled to compensation.

Meanwhile, reports suggest that the airline company have lost up to 140 pilots in the last to low-cost competitor Norweigian Air, though Ryanair bosses deny these claims.

A list of all published flight cancellations can be found here.

Potterheads rejoice!

It's time to put all that wizarding knowledge to good use because the good folk over at the Warner Bros Harry Potter Studio tour are looking for new recruits.

Applicants should have enthusiasm and personality in bucket loads as well as a flair for customer service and a passion for all things magical.

There are a number of positions available including Interactor, Sales Associate and Warehouse Associate, and according to the tour's official website, there will an assessment day held on Friday September 22 – so you better get a move one.

The official job description reads:

"The warm welcome that visitors receive from all our employees makes a huge difference to their excitement and enjoyment of the Studio Tour. If you have enthusiasm, personality and a flair for customer service, this could be the place for you with either a full-time, part-time or seasonal role. 

"Our Visitor Hosts are the frontline team, responsible for meeting, greeting and assisting our visitors upon arrival and again when they depart. Our knowledgeable Interactors are full of behind-the-scenes filmmaking secrets which they are eager to share, and our Retail Associates help visitors find the perfect souvenir following their special day with us."

And while successful applicants will need to relocate to London, we're pretty sure we'd be willing to make that sacrifice.

On Sunday night, some of Hollywood's biggest and brightest stars descended on the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles for the 69th Primetime Emmy awards.

While the award ceremony has previously been criticised for being boring and unmemorable, viewers general agreed that this year's offering was quite the opposite.

Host Stephen Colbert brought the laughs, Alec Baldwin brought the gags about Trump and there was even a surprise appearance from former press secretary Sean Spicer (though it's safe to say the audience didn't know how to feel about that one).

In general, acceptance speeches were well planned and expertly delivered, though one in particular stole the show.

First time winner, Nicole Kidman scooped the award for best lead actress for her performances as domestic abuse survivor, Celeste Wright, in the critically acclaimed series Big Little Lies – and things got pretty emotional.

The actress began by thanking her co-star, Reese Witherspoon, who was also nominated in the same category.

“Reese, I share this with you. Without you I would not be standing up here.”

She went on to thank her huband, Keith Urban and their daughters, Faith and Sunday, before dedicating her Emmy to raising awareness of domestic abuse.

“It is a complicated, insidious disease. It exists far more than we allow ourselves to know. It is filled with shame and secrecy, and by you acknowledging me with this award, it shines a light on it even more.”

In total, Big Little Lies scooped five gongs including the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor which went to Nicole's on-screen abuser, Alexander Skarsgård.

Looking for something to this week, that doesn't involve Netflix, or the gym? 

Yeah, so are we.

That is why we are SO excited to tell you about a play that's coming to The Gaiety theatre this week. 

The Spinning Heart is a novel by Donal Ryan that speaks for contemporary Ireland like no other novel ever has. It captures the language and spirit of rural Ireland and with uncanny perception articulates the words and thoughts of a generation.

This brilliant book has been adapted for the stage, and is hitting The Gaiety from tomorrow (Tuesday 19th), and will run until the 23rd.

What's it all about, I hear you ask? 

 

"Everyone loves Bobby Mahon. Everyone that is, except his Da. Revered by his men on the building site, captain of the team that almost won the county final, loved by his wife, Triona, only Bobby himself knows the dark thoughts that prey on his mind, presaging tragic events to come."

The Spinning Heart reveals the devastation wrought on a community in a west Tipperary village by economic ruin and consequent savage austerity.

One by one the colourful characters’ varied stories build a panorama of a foundering society, while a narrative thread running through their accounts unveils unexpected dramatic events, stealing out of dark, hidden corners.

The stage production preserves the original structure and narrative style of the book while highlighting, often with a scabrous humour, the toll in human terms of recent times in Ireland.

I was lucky enough to see the play earlier this year, and genuinely loved every second of it. 

Do yourself a favour, and get down to The Gaiety this week – you won't regret it! 

Tickets start at just €16 (sure, that's a bargain), and are available here.

Following a historic three-in-a-row All-Ireland victory from the Boys in Blue at Croke Park yesterday, it's safe to say that an awful lot of Dublin GAA fans are waking up with sore heads this morning.

But, the party isn't over yet.

Dub supporters will today have the chance to celebrate with the winning team as they descend on Smithfield square for a special homecoming from 6.30pm this evening.

Lord Mayor Mícheál Mac Donncha says there's plenty of room for everyone to enjoy the festivities.

"(Smithfield is) a big open-air space with plenty of room for everybody and we'll be greeting the squad after I host a reception at the Mansion House. We look forward to a huge celebration for the 3-in-a-row Dubs."

This is a family-friendly and alcohol-free event and Dublin City Council have asked those who intend on travelling to the homecoming to use public transport.

Commuters should note that the Smithfield Luas stop may be closed from 6pm to 8pm, though the Four Courts and Museum stops will still be in use.

Supporters can gain access to event from North King Street, Friary Avenue and Thundercut Alley.

Let's hope those jerseys aren't too wrecked from yesterday's shenanigans.

American model and actress, Emily Ratajkowski has taken to social media to express her dismay after a French magazine altered her photo before putting it on the front cover.

Appearing in the latest edition of Madame Figaro, the 26-year-old was stunned to discover that her lips and breasts had been photoshopped before the magazine made it to print.

Emily demonstrated her discovery on Instagram with a side-by-side comparison and a lengthy message explaining her disappointment.

“Everyone is uniquely beautiful in their own ways,” she wrote.

“We all have insecurities about the things that make us different from a typical ideal of beauty. I, like so many of us, try every day to work past those insecurities.”

“I was extremely disappointed to see my lips and breasts altered in photoshop on this cover. I hope the fashion industry will finally learn to stop trying to stifle the things that make us unique and instead begin to celebrate individuality.”

This isn't the first time Emily has spoken out about impossible beauty standards. Just last month, in an interview with Allure, the model criticised society's instinct to censor women's bodies.

"It really bothers me that people are so offended by breasts," she said.

"That's when I realised how f**ked our culture is. When we see breasts, we don't think of beauty and femininity. We think of vulgar, over-sexualised images."

Hear, hear, Emily!

Since rising to fame as a young Disney star back in 2008, Demi Lovato's love life has long been the subject of headlines across the world.

Whether it's a story about a rumoured romance with Niall Horan or the more recent photo showing the 25-year-old holding hands with DJ and producer, Lauren Abedini, Demi's romantic endeavours have never been far from the spotlight.

That being said, the singer rarely reveals details about her personal life and in a recent interview with Pride Source, she explained why she prefers not to comment on speculation regarding her sexuality.

“I love who I love,” Demi said.

“I just feel like everyone’s always looking for a headline and they always want their magazine or TV show or whatever to be the one to break what my sexuality is.”

“I feel like it’s irrelevant to what my music is all about. I stand up for the things that I believe in and the things that I’m passionate about, but I like to keep my personal life as private as possible when it comes to dating and sexuality and all that stuff just because it has nothing to do with my music.”

The singer went on to reveal how her upcoming documentary, Demi Lovato: Simply Complicated, will answer a lot of these questions because when she does discuss her sexuality, she wants it to be on her “own terms.”

The highly anticipated documentary will be released on YouTube on October 12.

After meeting at New York fashion week, Pamela Anderson has slammed Kim Kardashian's decision to wear fur and is urging the reality star to “do the right thing.”

The former Baywatch star and passionate animal rights activist made the plea in an open letter posted to her website on Saturday September 16, in which she asked Kim to omit fur from her wardrobe this winter.

The letter began: “Dear Kim. It was lovely seeing you at New York Fashion Week.”

“I've had the pleasure of getting to know you over the years, and I can tell you're a good person with a big, beautiful heart."

"I'm writing to ask you to extend your compassion to real fashion victims — the animals who are violently killed in the fur trade — by swearing off fur this winter.”

As a longtime vegetarian, Pamela is an avid supporter of animal rights organisation PETA and has spent years campaigning to end various types of animal abuse.

She then went on to educate Kim on the dangers of fur farms.

"I think you'd be horrified to learn that every single fur farm that PETA has exposed has been beyond cruel."

“ Just last month, video footage from a fur farm in Poland revealed that foxes are being kept inside filthy, cramped, dark cages…”

She also cited Gisele Bundchen as model who has spoken out about the cruel fur industry and encouraged Kim to follow in her footsteps.

“Time are changing, though: Gisele Bundchen made a bold statement against fur on the cover of Vogue Paris earlier this summer, and Austria, Croatia, the Netherlands, Slovenia and the U.K, and ohter nations have taken a stand agianst cruelty by abolishing all fur farms.”

Pamela finished the letter by reminding the relaity star about the example she is setting for her followers around the world.

"You know I love you, and you can be a hero for animals as well as a great example to all your beautiful followers by swearing off fur.”

"Please do the right thing."

Kim has yet to respond to the letter, though we can't imagine she'll be clearing the fur from her wardrobe any time soon.
