Desire Lines: Buttermilk yellow styles, SKIMS in Cork, and end of Lent treats
@Source: irishexaminer.com
Aoife McNamara’s latest collection has just launched, embracing the colour of the season — buttermilk yellow. ‘Otherland’ is pitched as a dream woven from the ancient whispers of Irish folklore, “a love letter to Tír na nÓg, the mythical land of eternal youth and untouched beauty”. We are lusting after the collection’s ‘A Place of Joy’ dress, €385.

What better way to celebrate the end of Lent than this sweet collaboration between Baileys and 2210 Patisserie?
The iconic liqueur brand has teamed up with renowned pastry chef Úna Leonard to create the Baileys Deluxe Treat Box. Think Baileys-infused brownies, deluxe stuffed cookies, and a layered Baileys cake jar. Yum.
Retailing at €32, the box is available to order online until April 24, and will be in 2210 Patisserie’s Mullingar and Powerscourt stores until April 26.

The fragrance
A male rugby team’s locker room may not be where your mind goes when you think of pleasant smells... but at a recent event in Dublin, we learned that Conor Murray has been trying his best.
The Munster man has apparently been a big fan of West Cork’s La Bougie for some time now, and even brings the brand’s candles overseas when he travels for a scent of home.
He was on hand to launch the brand’s first foray into a unisex parfum, Cedar Atlas, which retails for €60.
With cedarwood from the Atlas Mountains, oudh, and a herbal hit of thyme, it’s one either sex can fall in love with.

The shapewear
After two years in Brown Thomas’s flagship store on Grafton Street, Cork is finally getting SKIMS.
Designed to enhance your natural shape with shapewear that offers both support and comfort, Kim Kardashian’s brand has earned a cult following — and for good reason. Available in sizes XXS to XXXXL.

The festival
