Have you put up your Christmas decorations yet? Watched your first Christmas movie? Listened to your first Christmas song?
Or are you holding out for another few weeks?
Well, we’re fully in the Christmas swing here at VIP HQ. And here’s what we’re loving this week…
…cosy jumpers
That weather is bitter! And we all want to be cosy this time of year, especially when we’re doing all our festive errands.
Gym + Coffee is known for their fab athleisure pieces. I’m a huge fan of their leggings, but we can’t mention the Irish brand without their gorgeous jumpers and jackets. They even have knitwear pieces, which I think is perfect for this time of year. You can be warm and chic.
If you want to restock on your fav pieces, they’ve just launched their Black Friday sale. You can shop up to 50 per cent off here.
…being changed for good
It might be the most talked about movie of the year! Wicked: For Good is finally here and I couldn’t be more excited.
I was able to see an early screening of the movie and all I’ll say is bring tissues. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room and, honestly, you can’t blame them. Elphaba and Glinda (and Fiyero) are back on our screens for the amazing conclusion of the Wicked duology.
I have my tickets booked to see it again this weekend and I’ve been listening to the soundtrack on repeat.
…dressing to impress
Last week, we celebrated this year’s eir VIP Publishing Power of Women. And of course, we had to dress to impress.
Team VIP were very kindly dressed by boohoo and we look pretty good if we do say so ourselves.
With so many collections to pick from, we were spoiled for choice. From co-ords to dresses, there truly was something for everyone.
…Winter Wonderlights
Wonderlights is back for the festive period and it is the perfect way to spend an evening. I went with my younger siblings and my mam this week as the gates to Malahide Castle opened.
And we were blown away by the new set-up this year.
On Wednesday, guests got to experience the spectacular ‘Once Upon a Glow’ light show at Malahide Castle & Gardens, where the historic grounds were transformed into a dazzling winter wonderland. On Thursday, November 20th, special guests were among the first to see the new breathtaking trail at Marlay Park, themed ‘The Magic of Winter’.
They have also opened Wonderlights in Fota Park in Cork! Book your tickets here.
…midweek matcha
I love my daily matcha more than anything.
Between the 25th and 27th of November, Mafia Matcha is teaming up with Frèd Café on Nassau Street for Midweek Matcha for Two.
Order a Mafia Matcha, and they’ll cover the second cup, a perfect little ritual to share with a friend, colleague, or someone who’s yet to try proper matcha.
And if you want to continue your money saving ways, why not order your own matcha set from Mafia Matcha, so you can make your own mug at home!

…Friday night tipple
Silly season is just around the corner and that means that we’ll have plenty of guests over, plenty of drinks will be flowing and we’ll want to have all our wine accessories.
