So, while we're generally of the opinion that any pre-Halloween mention of the 'C' word deserves to be met with copious amounts of eye rolling and a schooling in the modern Christian calendar – we reckon we may have just found an exception to the rule.

As we all know, no winter wardrobe is complete without a festive knit, so it's worth investing early to make sure your Christmas jumper game is a cut above the rest.

But fear not ladies, because this year's must-have style has just landed.

Introducing the 'GINgle Bells' jumper.

Just imagine the look on your friends faces when you rock up to 12 pubs in this.

Not to mention the slightly different (yet just as amusing) look on your mam's face when take your place at the Christmas dinner table.

It's win-win, really.

The unisex jumper costs £29.00 (approx. €33.00), and is available to order on Notonthehighstreet.com.

But you better be quick, we've got a feeling they'll be snapped up in no time.

Fans have been left disappointed following the news that TLC will no longer perform at Metropolis.

Festival organisers made the announcement on Facebook this afternoon, revealing that the group have been forced to reschedule their European tour, due to a back injury sustained by T Boz (Tionne Watkins).

In light of the news, Metropolis have added four replacement acts for the Bank Holiday Sunday (October 29). 

DJ Jazzy Jeff, Todd Terje, Denis Sulta and DJ Mall Grab will all perform Dublin's RDS, with organisers promising a night of great music, “eye popping art installations, delicious food, thirst quenching cocktails.”

Anyone who purchased a Sunday ticket especially to see TLC is entitled to a full refund from Ticketmaster.

Ticket prices for Sunday will remain at €69.50 and will not increase to the final tier of €79.50, as in previous years.

In September 1987, a community in Co Kildare went into mourning following the tragic death of two children and their babysitter in Kilcock.

Kerrie Ann Byrne was just three-years-old when she and her eight-year-old sister, Mary Ellen, died in a house fire on Church Lane in the small Kildare town.

The children were in the care of their 20-year-old babysitter, Barbara Doyle, when the fire broke out.

Despite initially believing that the death of the three individuals was the result of an accidental blaze, authorities revealed last week that they are now treating it as a murder case.

Following a fresh appeal into the case, Gardai have today confirmed that they have made an arrest relating to the case.

"Gardaí investigating the murders of Barbara Doyle, aged 20 years, Mary Ellen Byrne aged 8 years and Kerrie Byrne aged 3 years at a house fire in Kilcock, Co. Kildare that occured on 20th September, 1987 at Church Lane, Kilcock, Co. Kildare have made an arrest. "

"The man, (in his 50s) was arrested this afternoon in North County Dublin and is currently detained at Leixlip Garda Station under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984."

The Gardaí have thanked the public for their assistance following the appeal's renewal.

A referendum on the Eight Amendment will take place in May or June of 2018, says Leo Varadkar.

The Taoiseach has today told the Dáil that the government has agreed an “indicative timeline” for the highly-anticipated referendum.

The announcement comes amid fears that the special Oireachtas committee tasked with considering proposals to repeal the Eight Amendment will not have completed its work by the Christmas deadline.

In the case that the deadline is not met, the delay in legislation will see the date for the referendum pushed back.

As many as eight referendums will be held before the summer of 2019 including votes on women in the home, blasphemy, and liberalising divorce laws.

2017 was clearly the year that Ireland's leading influencers decided that they wanted to try their hand at something new. 

A number of young, talented Irish women have created business endeavours of their own, as an extension of their own personal brands. 

These ladies are paving the way to their dream careers while maintaining an adoring legion of online followers. Kudos gals, kudos. 

Luna by Lisa Jordan

Lisa Jordan, blogger at Just Jordan and winner of the Best Dressed attendee award at the SHEmazing awards has branched out from blogging and into makeup creation. 

The mum-of-one has just launched her new Luna by Lisa collection of lipglosses, which she proudly showed off at the Irish Beauty Show this week.

The collection, which includes a set of four nude lipglosses, has already sold out online, so you better be on the ball when they're restocked in October.

Love Lift by Holly Carpenter

Food, fitness and fashion influencer Holly Carpenter's new jewellery line has been in the works for months, but the model only recently debuted the collection on social media. 

'Holly knows that she is not a food blogger and she always wanted to find her niche,' a source previously told VIP Magazine.  

'And she has, she loves art and creating and obviously she loves fashion and accessorising. So it’s the perfect match.’

The model-turned-jewellery designer has channelled positive energy into her new line, which aims to promote empowerment and self love.

Aluxe Elite Collection by Rosie Connolly

Rosie Connolly debuted her Aluxe sunglasses collection a number of months ago, and now the blogger/influencer has branched out into makeup brushes. 

Rose has been a trained makeup artist for an entire decade, so if anyone knows brushes, it's her.

The collection includes a set of five brushes, covering everything from eyes to cheeks. 

'I've been working on my own collection of makeup brushes for months now, and they're finally ready,' Rosie said, in a recent Instagram caption. 

'I have been a qualified makeup artist for almost 10 years now, and it was always a dream to be able to work on my own makeup brush range.'

Taylor & Rose by Ciara O'Doherty

Irish blogger and stylist Ciara O'Doherty launched her unique hair couture endeavour Taylor & Rose a number of months ago. 

'The idea for it started over a year ago when I was putting together an outfit for a fashion event here in Dublin,' said Ciara. 

'I was looking for a really special headpiece – I wanted something unique, luxurious and affordable – and after searching high and low I realised that this was a collection that I wanted to bring to life myself.'

The collection includes a carefully curated range of statement earrings, Gossip Girl-influenced headbands and headpieces to see you through wedding season and beyond.

One of the world's biggest stock photo agencies is putting a stop to unrealistic female beauty standards.

Following years of backlash against the use of editing software in the media, Getty Images has announced that it is finally banning all images in which a model's body has been photoshopped.

Effective from October 1, 2017, contributors will no longer be able to submit “any creative content depicting models whose body shapes have been retouched to make them look thinner or larger.”

The move comes after the French government introduced a law which states that magazines must indicate when a photo of a model has been retouched. Failure to do so will result in a €37,500 fine.

However, while this is definitely a step in the right direction, it seems the company's new guidelines still allow for a certain amount of alteration.

An e-mail sent to contributors explained how “other changes made to models like a change of hair colour, nose shape, retouching of skin or blemishes, etc., are outside the scope of this new law, and are therefore still acceptable.”

2017, the year of Beyonce's twins, Chris Pratt and Anna Faris's breakup, and Kylie Jenner's potential pregnancy. 

While all of these Celebland stories have made major headlines, only one of them has been turned into a Halloween costume. 

It was a mere four days ago that rumours started swirling about Kylie Jenner's alleged pregnancy with rapper bf Travis Scott. 

 

A post shared by Kylie (@kyliejenner) on

The pregnancy has not even been formally confirmed yet by the Kardashian clan. 

However, that hasn't stopped pop-culture influenced costume site Yandy from turning it into a costume, ready to ship for this year's Halloween festivities. 

The costume imagery looks tellingly like the 20-year-old reality TV starlet-turned-makeup maven.

From the glossy black wig to the selfie pose, this seriously looks like a Kylie Jenner costume. 

The pack comes with a white wrap dress and a fake pregnant belly (we actually kind of think we'd wear the dress by itself on a night out.)

The name of the costume – 'Reality Star in the Making,' also hints at it being a depiction of the young makeup guru.

Sorry ladies, but it looks like Kit Harrington is officially off the market.

The 30-year-old reportedly proposed to his Game of Thrones co-star, Rose Leslie, shortly after the pair bought their first house together.

Having began their romance as characters Jon Snow and Ygritte, the couple took their relationship off-screen in 2012.

Speaking about their rumoured engagement, a source told The Sun: "They're yet to set a date, but told friends and family last week that they've got engaged."

"Kit's known for ages he's wanted to marry Rose but he wanted them to get a house and settle down a bit first."

"After moving in together in January he felt it was the right time to take the next step," the source added.

The news come after the couple denied engagement rumours in July this year, when a rep quit clearly told Metro.co.uk “They are not engaged.”

Speaking about his relationship with Rose at the season seven premiere for Game Of Thrones Kit said:

“I think that's the really special thing about it is that we met on this show and here we are seven years down the line back here promoting season seven.”

“I mean it's mad. It's such a special thing. I'm so privileged,” he added.

And while these guys are obviously super in love and deserve all the happiness in the world (blah, blah, blah), there's a little part of us that is completely devastated.

It's been just over two months since Linkin Park frontman, Chester Bennington, took his own life at his home in Palos Verdes Estates in California.

And as his fans and followers come to terms with the singer's passing, his family, friends and former bandmates have done their utmost to remind the public of the person behind the chart-topping songs and albums.

Taking to Twitter this week, Linkin Park shared backstage footage of the 41-year-old during a lighthearted moment, writing: "Cherishing all the times Chester made us laugh. Taking a look back at some of our favourite LPTV moments."

The short clip has amassed a huge response, with social media users paying tribute to the father-of-six in the aftermath of his death this summer.

"I’ve been doing the same thing! Watching made me smile/laugh. Grateful we have these moments," responded one fan to the band's poignant post.

"What a guy. Chester was one of a kind, and things like this will live on forever!" added another.

Recently, Chester's wife, Talinda Bennington, shared a video of her late husband just 36 hours before his death – footage which showed the singer in high spirits as he relaxed with his family.

Reminding the public that people who suffer from depression often do so in silence, writing: "This is what depression looked like to us just 36 hrs b4 his death. He loved us SO much & we loved him." (sic)

The band's upload last night has amassed more than 30,000 likes so far.

The British entertainment industry is today mourning the loss of one of its most popular soap stars following the death of Liz Dawn.

Coronation Street producer, Keiran Roberts, conveyed the esteem within which Liz was held, writing: "Liz Dawn was a true Coronation Street legend, a brilliant actor and a wonderful person."

"Everyone lucky enough to have worked with Liz during her thirty-four years playing Corrie icon Vera Duckworth will remember her with huge affection."

The star's family also issued a statement, saying: "We are devastated and heartbroken at the passing of our much-loved wife, mother, sister, grandmother and great grandmother, the incredible Liz Dawn.

"Liz died peacefully last night at home with her loving family around her. She has been the love, light and inspiration in our lives and we are bereft at her passing."
