#FIVEONFRIDAY
Five things to consider doing this sunny week!
Boojum
If I’m honest, working in Siopaella is pretty remarkable. I get to work with an amazing team, receive wonderful visits and messages from
our super-star costumers, handle beautiful pieces from some of my favourite
designers and run around Dublin getting the bosses lunch.
Okay so that last one may not sound as glamorous as the rest BUT when getting the nomnoms for the
boss lady/man means a trip to Boojum Dublin - I am only delira. This is due
completely to Boojum’s delicious food and their uber friendly, funny and
welcoming staff. I guarantee you that every visit to Boojum will provide you
with an impressive food-baby and a smile on your face.
Dublin City Soul Festival
Merrion Square Park is one of my favourite locations around
Dublin. Not only is it a beautiful park hidden away in the city, but there is always
something fun and exciting happening in the Square. This weekend sees Dublin
City Soul Festival taking over Merrion Square with their two-day music and feel-good festival. The entire
event was created to support the Music Youth Foundation. The children’s
charity aims to provide young people who are at risk, with an opportunity to
turn things around through the charity’s music education programmes. I shall be
heading to the festival this Sunday and cannot wait to experience some amazing
music while also helping out with donations at the door. See you there?! :)
Boyhood – IFI
A film I have been counting down the days until its official
release is Richard Linklater’s Boyhood. The
film follows the character Mason’s transition from childhood to young
adulthood. It may sound like a
simple plot but the entire film was shot over 12 years, bringing a
previously untapped authenticity to the entire film and its characters. Boyhood
is currently showing in Temple Bar’s own the Irish Film Institute.
Tabitha Magazine
The motive behind Tabitha Magazine and their frequently
updated site, lovetabii.com, is to provide a platform for up and coming Irish
talent. Tabitha Magazine is the perfect stepping stone for various designers and
artists who have something to say or show. The independently run magazine
currently has 5 issues and is working on Issue 6 as I type! Find yourself a
free Sunday, put on the kettle and relax with a browse through their charming
site.
The Art of the Song :
David Bowie
I’m always intrigued by artists covering and interpreting
other artists work. It’s not about stealing or copying a specific artist’s creations
but instead it’s about one artist reworking something already established and
creating something unique and completely their own. The elaborate work of David Bowie will be subject to such re-creation this Saturday 26th July in
The National Concert Hall. Mr Bowie’s music will be in very capable hands thanks
to acts like Lisa Hannigan, Duke Special and Heathers who, on the night, will be creating
their own Bowie inspired moments.
What is your #fiveonfriday?
