We loved the Obamas, and since Barak has stepped out of office, his family have set the style stakes high.

Between Barack sporting slicker suits and dad jeans to Michelle looking like an absolute queen on holidays – the family definitely know their fashion.

However, it's Sasha who has absolutely blown us away with how gorgeous she looked at her Sweet 16th birthday party.

The teenager donned a silk red slip dress, and wore her hair sleek and straight.

While pictures have only surfaced today of the family celebrating, it is believed the party took place last month.

We have to say; Sasha Obama could be our new style star.

Before we head away on holidays it's safe to say that many of us dream about sitting by the pool, cocktail in hand, wearing the trendiest swimsuit we could get our hands on.

But your dream is going to come to a screeching holt when you see this one piece.

Why on Earth was it made? We don't know… actually, we do. The designers wanted to "make" people "say WTF."

 

A post shared by Beloved Shirts (@belovedshirts) on

And WTF, indeed.

The one-piece was created by Beloved Shirts and is officially called the 'Sexy Chest One Piece Swimsuit'.

It has a very realistic print of a man's chest and back and comes in three colours; natural, tan and dark.

And of course, social media has lost the plot with it:

Yep, we don't think we'll be wearing this anytime soon.

If you thought Liam Gallagher's apparent disdain for his brother, Noel, might have diluted somewhat upon the emergence of reports that Noel had donated royalties to victims of Manchester's recent terror attack, you'd be mistaken.

While appearing on Chris Evans’ show on BBC Radio 2 this morning, the former Oasis frontman seemed as determined as ever to fan the flames of controversy that surrounded the Mancunian siblings.

Leaving the dissolution of the world-famous band firmly at Noel's feet, Liam silenced any rumours of a reunion.

"Oasis, that’s done mate,” he told Chris. “That’s done and has been done for a long, long time."

"Regardless of what happened over the weekend or whatever – Noel Gallagher doesn’t want it. Full stop. He’s quite happy doing his stuff. He doesn’t want to have to entertain me because he knows I won’t stand for his stuff."

For more than two decades, the brothers have made headlines due to their tempestuous relationship which has led many to question the authenticity of their supposed feud.

Raising this particular theory with the singer, Chris was met with a resounding no, with Liam saying: "A lot of people think that man, but I wouldn’t put my mum through that."

"It is the real deal. We’re not fond of each other. He’s the middle child and I came along and just spoiled the party."

And if there was any question as to whether an Oasis reunion might be in the works, Liam told the public that his brother's attitude to the industry and the public has confirmed it's a no-hoper.

"He wants to surround himself with little yes men that he can hire and fire whenever he wants, but he’s not getting that with me," Liam said.

"It doesn’t matter about me digging him out or underlining the lack of empathy and sympathy that he has for people in Manchester," he added. "That’s got nothing to do with it. Oasis is done."

Well, that's us told.

We can't get over the beauty of Emma Manley's wedding dress.

The Irish designer tied the knot to Eoin Ó Suilleabhain over the weekend and blew us away with her whimsical wedding attire.

If you're up to date with Irish fashion, Emma has served as a trailblazer in the industry, and after designing actress Aoibhín Garrihy's gown, she took to designing bridalwear.

Aiobhinn's dress was stunning to say the least, so there was much anticipation to see what the designer herself would wear.

And she did not disappoint.

Emma opted for a dress cut just above the knee, but had a sheer overlay underneath.

The newlywed certainly reigned in the fashion brownie points with her style of headpiece, too.

Instead of choosing a veil to go with her dress, Emma wore an intricate silver headpiece – something we've never seen before.

If you're a fan of Emma's work, then you'll know she relies heavily on embellishments to create the perfect piece of clothing.

And she didn't shy away from this on her wedding day, as her bridesmaids and flower girls all wore similar silver embellishments as the bride.

Emma, you have brought a new lease of life to Irish bridal designs.

Last year, we reported on a garden shed which had found its way onto Daft.ie.

And oh, how we laughed.

But we're not laughing any more as its appears its cousin may just made an appearance on the popular property website as well.

Located in Terenure, this 'studio apartment' can be yours for a cool €850 a month, but if the photos are anything to go by, this residence bears a striking resemblance to a garden shed.

While it boasts its own private entrance and is fitted with an alarm, the listing, which also features an ensuite bathroom fitted with an electric power shower, definitely gave us pause here at SHEmazing HQ.

According to the advertisement, the residence is furnished with all-new modern appliances as well as a kitchen with hot plate, oven, kettle, toaster and microwave.

And while there's no doubting it looks like a pretty pleasant space to cosy up, its wooden interior and exterior have led many potential renters to question whether they may end up sharing with the lawnmower.

But if that's the least of your concerns right now, then it might be worth noting that it is available from September 1 2017.

We'll be honest, when it comes to Afternoon Tea, we rarely think to invite our long-suffering fathers to the occasion.

And whether that's something to do with them constantly telling us that 'it's far from Afternoon Tea we were reared', we'd rather not say, but the fact remains; our dads don't get a look-in.

Well, until now, that is.

With Father's Day on the horizon, The Morrison has launched Afternoon Tea… with a twist.

The Gentlemen’s Afternoon Tea is a hearty feast of steak sandwiches, beef sliders, smoked rasher scones and whiskey chocolate truffles that can be washed down with a refreshing pint of Wicklow Wolf.

Whether it’s the Gentleman’s Tea for Two, or paired with a serving of the Fancy Pants Afternoon Tea – the city-centre hotel is only dying to help us treat our dads this Sunday.

And with the sheer amount worrying they do about us and our notions, we're more than willing to splash €50 and honour that pop of ours.

Now, more than ever before, the discussion around body positivity and self-love is a part of our everyday lives.

It seems like everyday another influencer is coming clean about those seemingly perfect, but ever so staged Instagram pics, and we're constantly bombarded with campaigns telling us to 'love the skin you're in' and all that jazz.

So, why is it that the pressure to look a certain way still remains?

Well, even though the body positivity movement continues to grow, so too does the world of cosmetic surgery and enhancement – and an absolutely ridiculous procedure has just come to our attention.

You know that little bit of flesh between your bra strap and armpit? The one that literally every human being has? 

Well, a number of clinics are now offering a procedure to remove this 'unsightly' feature of your upper arm and have even gone as far as hailing it a 'revolutionary' treatment.

“As women, we are constantly striving to look better,” Dr Galyna Selezneva based at the Dr Rita Rakus clinic in Knightsbridge, London told The Sun.

“To lose weight and get rid of that awkward little pocket of fat which despite spending many hours in the gym, just won’t budge, ruining the perfect fit of our clothes.”

The method uses a laser light to heat the fat cells, which then leak into the patient's lymphatics.

The liver then processes the fat particles which are finally excreted from the body as waste.

Honestly, we're not even a little convinced. 

We'll take 'bra-bulge' over lasers any day.

The only suspect in the rape and murder of Irish woman, Danielle McLaughlin, earlier this year in India has had his charge sheet filed in a local magistrates court in southern Goa.

It has been established that authorities in India have completed investigations into the brutal murder of the young woman, and are reportedly confident of securing a guilty verdict against 24-year-old Vikas Bhagat.

According to The Irish Times, Bhagat, who reportedly confessed to the murder of 28-year-old Danielle in March, will have charges heard against him on June 21.

Commenting on the developments, Inspector Rajendra Prabhu Desai explained that it was likely the case would be transferred to the higher Sessions Court in Marago.

In the days that followed Danielle's harrowing death, friends of the young woman travelled to Goa to speak on her behalf.

"We want justice for Danielle. She deserves justice. We know that we all want the same. Whatever community we come from. Whatever our backgrounds. We all want the same thing. Justice. So let's get it together." pleaded Donegal-native Nicole Farren.

"It is horrific and such a tragic way to have departed this world. No one deserves the pain and suffering she endured," she added.

It is understood that Danielle was last seen at a beach party alongside the accused on March 14 of this year.

We'll admit it; we like staying in our comfort zone.

Nothing too sparkly, nothing too backless, nothing to bright. To be honest, most nights out consist of 'jeans and a fancy top'.

So, in an effort to change that, we scoured the Dresses.ie website to see what they have in store, and to hopefully up our 'fancy top' ensembles.

Oriental

One of the biggest trends for high summer is Oriental. Think soft, satin material, tight bodycons, high necks and pretty prints.

For a summer night out, a wedding or anything in between, we'll definitely be ditching our fancy tops for this.

The Slip

Now, this isn't anything new, but many of us have shied away from slip dresses because 1) we live in Ireland (i.e. rainland) and 2) we're afraid it'll show all of our lumps and bumps.

But, don't be afraid because this one won't cling and hangs softly on your body. Pure 90s vibes as well, which is always a plus.

The One Shoulder

If you just have to go for a 'fancy top' then you need to try this one. Don't be afraid to wear a one shoulder top either, because it's coming back into fashion in a big way.

The perfect statement for a hot day at the beach, or drinks with the girls.

ONE SHOULDER TOP
€29.99

Bardot

Bardot tops and dresses are another style that have been around for a while now, but this summer, you'll notice everything going a bit… lower, and sexier.

If you want to try out the trend, this is the perfect dress to start, as it hold everything in. And the mesh detail is pretty fabulous too.
