What Team STELLAR Is Loving This Week

Hello autumn?!

Yes, it’s still a little bit too warm for our scarves and knits just yet, but are we kind of ready to sweat through the day and break out the full autumn wardrobe anyways? Absolutely. It’s officially time for Uggs, hot chocolate and, dare I say it, crunchy leaves! Anytime now trees!

At Team STELLAR, we are very busy but excited as we prepare for our Hayu STELLAR InstaStar awards which are taking place next Friday, just one week away! We have our outfits chosen and are so excited to bring you all the news and glamour from the night, stay tuned!

In the meantime, make sure you get voting for your faves, vote here!

For now, we wanted to touch base at the end of another busy week to fill you in on what we are loving at the moment and what you should be keeping on your radar!

Jade is loving… a midweek escape!

This week I was lucky enough to experience a night at The Hendrick Smithfield, Ireland’s first street art hotel and experience a night in the urban heart of Dublin. The edgy hotel was the perfect starting point for the night, plus, the beds were so comfy it topped off the end of the night too!

I was treated to a few tipples and pizza before we embarked on the perfect pints tour, if you’re a Guinness fan this is one for you! With the central location of The Hendrick it was perfect for a quick midweek break close to nightlife, shops and the office for me which was so handy as I strolled over this morning! A lovely way to start my Friday.

Luxury footwear and handbag brand Russell & Bromley marked its first venture outside of the UK with the opening of a new 1,300 square feet flagship store on Grafton Street, Dublin on Thursday, September 22nd. To celebrate the launch, I popped in to check it out and let me tell you, I wanted *several* pairs of shoes, but ended up leaving with the most gorgeous pair of red boots – I picked very wisely (see above)!

Definitely worth checking out if you want to treat yourself to an investment pair of winter boots that’ll last you the test of time. They’re now open seven days a week!

Adele is loving… Don’t Worry Darling 

I had the pleasure of attending a preview of Don’t Worry Darling earlier this week in The Stella theatre before it lands in cinemas today, the 23rd of September. And if you’re planning on going to see it, you’re in for a treat. Of course, I’ve been as invested in the drama as much as the next person, but despite all of the chaos around it, it’s simply a good film. I can’t quite wrap my head around the criticism it’s been receiving so far. It’s a clever plot, beautifully shot, and the two lead roles, Florence Pugh and Harry Styles are captivating – in particular Miss Flo.

It takes you off to a fantasy land for 2 hours. It’s filled with twists and turns, and add a sprinkle of hair and outfit inspo as well as Harry Style’s face – what’s not to love? Ignore the haughty judgment and get lost as I did, you won’t regret it.

Jade is loving…The Kardashians

It’s back! My favourite reality stars are back with season two of their show streaming now on Disney+ and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Every Thursday I will be settling in to watch their lives unfold and digest all the drama. The first episode was EMOSH as it went into detail about Tristan Thompson’s paternity scandal. If you’re even at all curious as to how the family reacted to the situation, you need to give it a watch.

Roll on next week!

Denise is loving… prepping for our second STELLAR Hayu InstaStar Awards 

I cannot believe the InstaStar Awards are next week – where does time go? Our second year bringing these awards to life and lads, let me tell you, this year they’re bigger, better and far more glam – I didn’t think that was possible?

Taking place at Dublin’s The Morrison Hotel, we’ve got over 200 content creators and friends attending for what’s set to be one incredible night, honouring some of the best in the business with plenty of sparkle (and rosé!)

If you want to follow along, be sure to keep your eyes peeled on STELLAR’s Instagram, that’s where you’ll see all the hottest looks, BTS of the night, winners and sneak peeks of our official Pandora afterparty! It’s not to be missed!
