Don't have any plans for the weekend?

Read on :)

Melt

I’m almost embarrassed to admit that it was only this week that I finally visited our wonderful neighbours Melt.  Within Siopaella Temple Lane, we have all witnessed the euphoric appearance of each and every person who leaves Melt. After my own visit earlier this week, there are only two words which come to mind to describe the experience – Pure. Bliss. 

ALT-J

Taking over the 3 Arena this Saturday night are my Spotify favourite, Alt-J. The guys are currently on tour promoting their second album, ‘This Is All Yours’.  While standing tickets may have sold out, there are still a few tiered tickets available. Grab them while you can and prepare yourself for a night of feel good dancing and music.

Cork / Limerick Closet buyout

Siopaella is going on tour...well kind of.

Replacing music equipment with designer goodies, this weekend our Siopaella buyers will be traveling to Limerick and Cork to uncover and buyout some of the most stylish closets. You can keep track of all the crew’s antics and discovers by following Siopaella on Instagram and Twitter. 

DISCLAIMER: Expect many selfies, coffee breaks and possibly the odd ‘We’re lost!!’ tweet on our hunt for luxury items!  

Olivia Burton watches

Another late night instgram scrolling discovery, was the wonderful and whimsical creations of Olivia Burton London.  Stating that they couldn't find a watch which ‘fulfilled their need for style’, the innovative duo of Lesa Bennett and Jemma Fennings saw to create their own.  With up to six styles to choose from, you are surely to find the perfect watch for you.

Staple Foods

Staff meetings – not the most desirable way to start your work day but thankfully this staff meeting came with pancakes! (We’re spoiled, we know)  It was thanks to the lovely folks at Staple Foods who made the staff  meeting that little bit sweeter. The guys were super friendly, provided the much needed coffee and the food was scrumptious. Now, if only every staff meeting could be like that. 

What is your #fiveonfriday?

#FIVEONFRIDAY

Three day weekend? Yes, please! Here's what you can do to get the most out of yours! 

Dublin City Block Party

Dublin 8 will be taken over this Bank Holiday Sunday by the first annual Dublin City Block Party. Based in The Tivoli Gardens, the all-day event sounds like an amazing ritual party in the making. You MUST check out our lovely neighbours, Staple Foods, who will be providing nomnoms for the day. Delicious! 

Yogism – Frozen Yogurt

Being an avid lover of ice-cream and all its feel good properties, I was skeptical towards accepting frozen yoghurt as its potential rival. THANKFULLY, my concerns were proven to be in vain upon my first visit to Yogism in George’s Street Arcade. The entire Yogism experienced is based on D.I.Y. Pour in as much or as little fro-yo you want, get creative with your toppings (healthy options to old school jelly babies) and  finally the exciting part, try to guess how much your frozen yogurt masterpiece weighs!

Phoenix Park

The long weekend is the perfect opportunity to get a new perspective on the city.  Rediscover Phoenix Park this Bank Holiday on two wheels. Pop over to the guys at Phoenix Park Bike Hire to get matched with the suitable bicycle. Within a few pedals you’ll look as fierce as Queen B with the wind in your hair and make sure to bring your Dora the Explorer attitude!

Castlepalooza + Indiependence

It wouldn't be a #fiveonfriday blog post without a mention of a festival or two! ;) This week’s picks are Castlepalooza in Charleville Castle, Tullamore and Mitchelstown’s Indiependence. Although both would be smaller scale festivals, they still pack a punch and grab our attention due to their unique backgrounds and boutique like atmosphere.
