Dublin

With Radiohead and Coldplay having already sent Irish music fans into a tailspin this year, we didn't know how much more hysteria we could take when it came to upcoming gigs in our capital city.

And then Bruno Mars and Emeli Sandé announced they would be both taking to the stage in Dublin next year… and all bets were off.

While we'd love to say they were collaborating, unfortunately that's not the case, but hey maybe next time.
 

Emeli will be playing the Olympia Theatre on March 18 next year while Bruno will be hitting up Dublin's 3Arena on April 29.

If Emeli is your bag, you need to bring your A-game this Friday morning when tickets go on sale, but if Bruno swings it for you, then prime yourself for next Monday morning when you and countless others will be vying for a place in Bruno's audience.

Is it normal to feel stressed and excited in equal measure?!

Enda Kenny will be the man turning on the lights of Dublin this Christmas.

Yay? Nope, sorry Enda, but you're not exactly the man to get the party started.

However, he's only going to be in one part of the city.

Taking to the north inner-city, which has been riddled with gangland-related crime in recent months, Enda wants to show residents that the Government is by their sides.

He recently visited the closed Garda station on Fitzgibbon Street which has been out of action for some time. Mr Kenny intends to re-open the station in the next year.

"It will be a very significant demonstration of the intention of the government. It’s just a stone’s throw from the unfortunate incidents in the area," he said.

The Christmas lights are going up in 30 streets around Dublin, and Enda has been the only person confirmed so far to turn the lights on.

Here at SHEmazing! Towers we were oh-so ridiculously excited to hear about The Eatyard, a foodie market arriving in time for Christmas in central Dublin.

And now things have just gotten pretty epic – because three seriously delicious offerings have been confirmed for the launch.

Kicking off on Thursday November 24 Box Burger – a popular staple on the Bray seafront in Co Wicklow – will be there serving great gourmet burgers and sides loaded with finger licking toppings.

Next there's Dublin Donut Company – handcrafted doughnuts made locally in the capital. And especially for The Eatyard, the DDC team has come up with a build-your-own ice-cream doughnut with glorious toppings including the likes of homemade Reeses Pieces. Yum.

Finally, the family-run Broughgammon Farm has also gotten on board. Specialising in goat, free range veal, and seasonal wild game, they're all about sustainable food sourcing. 

The Eatyard is setting up shop beside one of the capital’s best-loved bars, The Bernard Shaw, on South Richmond Street and frankly we're hungry just thinking about it.

Ladies, it's mere hours (squeee!) until the whistle will be blown to officially kick off the Halloween Bank Holiday weekend.

But if you've yet to nab yourself a ticket to an event this weekend, don't panic and suddenly resign yourself to a night of trick or treating.

Dublin has truly outdone itself this year, with countless events and attractions lending an air of the surreal to our capital city.

And here, ladies, are the absolute best.

1. Stokerland

Open to the public on Saturday and Sunday, this family-friendly theme park will give you the opportunity to experience Halloween through the eyes of a child in the 1800s.

2. The Nightmare Realm

Touted as Ireland’s most terrifying scare house, The Nightmare Realm in the RDS will be accepting Ireland's bravest visitors until well into next week.

3. Bleedin’ Deadly 

This incredible event kicking off tomorrow night is your chance to immerse yourself in freak show culture, and is PERFECT for you if your Halloween is more about the freak than the creep.

4. Urban Legends

Taking place in Smithfield Square at 7pm this October 31, this event will walk you through some of your capital city's most infamous characters…

5. Prohibition: The Beautiful and the Damned

Inject a little ghoulish sophistication into this year’s festivities by donning a flapper dress, downing a gin punch and dancing your soul out to a mix of vintage and electro swing DJ at the Irish Museum of Modern Art on Saturday October 29.

6. Macnas Parade

Taking to the streets to celebrate the eerie wonder that is Halloween, Macnas, the world-renowned pioneers of imagination and invention, will be parading through Dublin’s Moore St and Henry St on October 31, and you have the chance to see it!

7. Mother Stoker's Sickly Stories

Taking place on Friday October 28 in North Great Georges Street, the Pygmankenstein Theatre Company and The Gremlin will introduce three writers who will lead you through the life of Bram Stoker – the Dubliner behind Dracula.

8. Monster Season

Kicking off tomorrow night, the Lighthouse Cinema will be showing a series of classic monster movies – and they do, as always, encourage more than a little fancy dress.

9. Wild Spirit

If you're more into the spiritual side of Halloween, then you need to get involved with Wild Spirit – a yoga-focussed, music-fuelled, foodie event celebrating one of the most atmospheric times of the year.

And finally…

10. Halloween Haunted Spooktacular Event

OK, you're going to have to let us away on this one because it's actually in Meath, but you'd hate us for not flagging it!

Put yourself at the mercy of the people behind Ireland’s largest scare attraction by making your way through the Haunted Corn Maze before trying to make it out The Laboratory alive…

Here at SHEmazing! we love a good dose of high street shopping, so you can imagine our excitement upon learning that Ireland is set to get another Topshop.

As part of Jervis Shopping Centre’s first major revamp in 20 years, a new flagship Topshop-Topman store will take over five of the Dublin centre’s existing shops.

According to the Irish Times, Wallace, Miss Selfridge, Burton and the current Topshop and Topman will be replaced with one big Topshop-Topman next summer as part of the Arcadia Group project.

The new store is expected to occupy 20,000sq ft between the ground and upper ground floors.

That sounds like a lot of clothes to us!
