Republic of Ireland to Unveil New 11-12 Kit July 7
Here’s hoping the Irish kit is sick, as in, Robbie Keane breaking more scoring records SICK!
According to Umbro, Rep of Ireland’s current home kit was inspired by their 50s and 60s kit designs and this time they looked to the late 70s and early 80s. You can get updates from Umbro Ireland Facebook and @UmbroIreland Twitter pages.

Laura Mercier is definitely one of the most sophisticated make-up brands available in the market today, with its sleek design aesthetic and subtle charm. The original primer has long been heralded as a beauty cult classic but my personal favourite product from the range is the secret camouflage concealers which hide a multitude of flaws effortlessly.
This year, Laura Mercier has introduced the Portofino collection, created to give a chic, girl about town elegance. With dove grey and muted pinks playing a big part in the hues and tones, this series of products is one that will suit any skin tone or age group making it well worth investing in for everyday wear. The Riviera Eye Shadow quad (above) is doubtless the centerpiece of this collection and includes the shades: Sandy Beige, Deep Water Blue, Crisp White and Soft Sky Blue. There are also 9 new shades of both the lipstick and lip gloss to choose from as well as the new navy cake or pencil eyeliners too.
Laura Mercier is available in Brown Thomas
Freckled face hustlers!

“The Rock of Cashel was the traditional seat of the kings of Munster for several hundred years prior to the Norman invasion. Few remnants of the early structures survive; the majority of buildings on the current site date from the 12th and 13th centuries. Cashel is reputed to be the site of the conversion of the King of Munster by St. Patrick in the 5th century. According to local mythology, the Rock of Cashel originated in the Devil’s Bit, a mountain 20 miles(30 km) north of Cashel when St. Patrick banished Satan from a cave, resulting in the Rock’s landing in Cashel.”
