#ICYMI – Our Favourite Stories This Week

Having a lazy Sunday? Kick back, pour yourself a cuppa and enjoy Team Her.ie’s favourite reads of the week. Though it’s a tough task, given how many fantastic stories we’ve come across in the past seven days, each of us here at Her.ie have chosen one of our favourite picks from the week, gathered together in one handy collection. Enjoy! ___________________________________ Grace's Choice: Dancing at the Disco, Bumper to Bumper... Grace says: This week I enjoyed writing one piece probably just a little too much. Some of us are reluctant to admit it, but if we are really honest, we all love a good cringey pop song to sing along to and what is more cringey than an epic one hit wonder? An Irish epic one hit wonder, which is why we put together the Top 10 greatest Irish one hit wonders ever. Altogether now, 'There's a whole lotta loving going on..." Read the full story here. Cathy's Choice: Remembering a Princess Cathy says: Putting together this piece reminded me of how special Princess Diana was. The mother of two, who campaigned tirelessly for charity, had a fabulous sense of style and always looked impeccable. As a fashion fanatic, I gushed over her stunning gowns and matching accessories. I remember the day she died so clearly and it's difficult to believe that was 17 years ago. Read the full story here. Michelle's Choice: It's All About You Michelle says: I absolutely loved this piece by our newest recruit Mary this week.

Liz' Choice: WANTED - Best Housemate Ever Liz says: If you’ve ever been looking to rent in Dublin, and succeeded in finding somewhere to live, well congratulations for making it out alive. Before landing my place, I went to 30 (no, I’m not exaggerating) different viewings, and met some interesting characters along the way. So when we stumbled across this REAL Daft ad, I didn’t know whether to admire or despair Mr. Grozonin’s proposal. You NEED to see this… Read the full story here. Marie's Choice: A Romance for the Ages Marie says: I consider myself a bit of a hopeless romantic but rather than dreaming of an Ali/Noah Notebook affair, my ultimate couple are Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. While he may have had an eye for the ladies and it eventually ended in tears, there's something about their all-consuming passion that makes it a love story for the ages. A letter written by Taylor to Burton was released for sale this week and gives an incredible insight into the definitive Hollywood romance. Read the full story here.
