Marble, taking the world by storm

Only the hottest trend on earth right now! Bloggers are instagramming their prized possessions on it, pinners are pinning it and designers praise it! MARBLE.

A few years ago I chose WOMAG to install our kitchen counter tops and the finish was fabulous, instantly giving our kitchen a classic yet updated face lift! One of the unique things about WOMAG is that they import the marble direct from all over the world and will come to your home to measure the tops, template them (basically make a replica of your counter top with template board), then manufacture and install it. The brilliant thing is that you can go to their factory and choose the actual slab that will be fitted on your counter.

Whether you’re a dark horse or love bright, white, open spaces; WOMAG have an incredible selection of marble to choose from in many sizes, from tiles to large slabs, each one an individual work of art from nature. WOMAG also bring in unique, different and bold slabs that you won’t find anywhere else.

From cosy, country kitchens to sleek, minimal bathrooms; marble can be used subtly creating monotone counter tops or to make a bold design statement, using coloured or flecked marble for floors, walls, splash backs or kitchen islands, you name it, it’s just so versatile! Marble has been with us since civilisation had begun. From Rome to Athens and Florence as well as all modern homes today. Having a splash of marble in your home, in whatever shape or location adds prestige and character to your home.

Waterford Wines

So I discovered this delicious Waterford Wine on our stay at The Cellars Hohenort.  We enjoyed this mini bar spoil so much, I ordered a few cases and bought some back to Dublin with me!

This soft pink, low alcohol, light and crisp wine with raspberry undertones, is a real lunch time treat. Very easy drinking! Yum!

The Waterford Elgin Sauvignon Blanc with its layers of flavour, has been the best treat to accompany the heat-wave we’re having in Dublin. (So good, it brings on the hashtag – #dryjulyfail)

Says Waterford:

“A strict selection of Elgin’s best quality vineyards. A more restraint style of Sauvignon blanc showing fresh granadilla and green apple fruit, with underlying chalk and slate notes confirming the Elgin origin of the grapes. The palate is finely textured with soft fruit, tight acidity, and a deceptively long finish of flavours. A wine showing the true expression of Elgin terroir on Sauvignon blanc.”

So next time you’re in the Stellenbosch area, do try out their unique wine tasting experience and for more information and more on their red, see here. Cheers! xx

Mungo-ify! Can We Make That A Word!

I have a dream, and that’s to Mungo-ify my home! Can’t get enough of their seriously high quality towels and linens!

You just can’t beat getting into bed with crisp, white linen, and it’s luxurious with Mungo!

Loving our summer towels! They’re light and quick drying – perfect for packing on trips and we now each have our own colour, so no getting confused whose towel is whose.

And their blankets – I wish I had more rooms to fulfill this obsession! I love the weightiness of this Juno blanket. And it’s super durable too – great for snuggling under.

The Mungo Drawer.

And my dining room come office has a little French Flair with the striped Mungo Cushions. Ok so we’re pretty much Mungo-ified already, but there’s always rooms for more 🙂 Such special investment pieces to last a lifetime.

While Adidas trainers have been trending for a while now on all super trendy, city streets; come rain or shine, minimal sleek or flouncy florals – it’s safe to say, you’re going to look killer this season in a pair! Here are a few of my favourites.
