Listen to this

?Sean Arthur is a Dublin-based producer who goes under the alias of Kobina. Although predominantly electronic, his eclectic mix of sound signals to an ambient-dubstep-type of sound, and will add the perfect atmosphere to your BBQ this weekend. He just released his second EP – Sentinel Island with Fido Sounds. Listen to his wavy sounds here.

Go Here?

A lot can be said for grabbing a backpack and a bit of grub (and suncream. Don’t forget the suncream) and exploring Ireland’s beautiful surroundings.? The breathtaking glacial valley of Glendalough is only a short trip outside of Dublin, and will leave you feeling utterly tranquil. A return trip to Glendalough will cost you €20 with The Glendalough Bus Company, but the views and scenery are worth every scent. Bring your togs too so you can dip your toes in the magnificent surrounding lakes.

Wear This

If?like me, you love to wear cute sandals but hate the idea of your feet on display, crystal socks are here to answer your anti-foot fetish prayers. Crystal socks are essentially translucent nylon socks lightweight-weight and breathable, but still cover up your feet. Highstreet shops like RiverIsland, Topshop, and Cos have all caught onto the trend, and at a price. I buy mine through AliExpress for half-nothing.
