I just got these cords from Talbots, and they’re lovely. They’re pull-on, machine washable, flat front. I like that they have useful (and flattering) pockets in the front and the back. No complaints; I can’t wait to wear them.
They have a lot of nice cords at the moment, including this style cut more like jeans — and while we all know Talbots has one of the most extensive size ranges out there (including that unicorn, plus-size petites), they also have long sizes available in some of the cords.
The pants are $109, but you can take 25% off today (discount shows up in bag).

The Diversity Inclusion Tech Awards 2026 celebrated the people, organisations and initiatives helping to create a more inclusive and accessible technology industry. The annual event took place on 17 September 2026 at The Gibson Hotel in Dublin, bringing together technology leaders, innovators and diversity advocates from Ireland and further afield.
Now in its ninth year, the awards continue to highlight achievements in diversity, equality, workplace inclusion and access to opportunities within the technology sector.
Among the major recipients at the 2026 ceremony were Dr Ann Kelleher, who received the prestigious Kay McNulty Award, and Dr Abeba Birhane, recipient of the Inspiration Award.

Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion in Technology
The awards began in 2018 as the Women in Tech Awards, initially focusing on recognising women’s achievements and contributions to technology.
In 2020, the programme evolved into the Diversity Inclusion Tech Awards, expanding its focus to recognise the importance of representation, equality, accessibility and belonging throughout the technology industry.
The event has since grown beyond Ireland, attracting nominations and interest from technology professionals and organisations across Europe, the United States and the UAE.
The Diversity Inclusion Tech Awards 2026 also featured updated award categories designed to reflect how the technology sector is changing and how businesses are developing more inclusive working environments.
Journalist and broadcaster Elaine Burke hosted the 2026 ceremony.
Dr Ann Kelleher Receives the Kay McNulty Award
One of the evening’s major honours, the Kay McNulty Award, was presented to Dr Ann Kelleher.
Originally from Macroom in County Cork, Dr Kelleher built an influential career in semiconductor engineering and technology development during almost three decades with Intel.
She rose through the company’s leadership ranks and became the first Irish person to reach the position of Executive Vice President at Intel.
Her work has covered areas including semiconductor manufacturing, device physics, fabrication and advanced technology development.
Throughout her career, Dr Kelleher has worked at the intersection of science, engineering and large-scale manufacturing, where technological progress often depends on overcoming extremely complex physical and engineering limitations.
Receiving the Kay McNulty Award recognised both her technical achievements and her contribution to leadership within the global technology sector.
Her message at the awards also highlighted the importance of ensuring talented people are given opportunities to contribute rather than being left outside the technology industry.
Why the Kay McNulty Award Matters
The award is named after Kay McNulty, the Irish-born mathematician and programmer who was one of the original programmers of ENIAC, one of the earliest general-purpose electronic digital computers.
The category celebrates significant contributions and leadership within technology and continues the legacy associated with pioneering women in computing.
Dr Abeba Birhane Wins the Inspiration Award
The Inspiration Award at the Diversity Inclusion Tech Awards 2026 went to Dr Abeba Birhane, a cognitive scientist and prominent researcher in responsible artificial intelligence.
Dr Birhane is an Assistant Professor of AI and founder and director of the AI Accountability Lab at Trinity College Dublin.
Her research examines areas including artificial intelligence accountability, algorithmic bias, ethical machine learning and the wider social consequences of automated systems.
Her work has helped encourage greater scrutiny of how AI technologies are designed, evaluated and communicated to the public.
Challenging the Hype Around Artificial Intelligence
A major theme of Dr Birhane’s remarks at the event concerned the difference between public narratives surrounding artificial intelligence and the actual capabilities of AI systems.
She highlighted how sensational descriptions of AI can sometimes create misleading impressions about what these technologies can independently accomplish.
Her approach calls for greater attention to evidence, accountability and the real-world impact of automated technologies rather than relying purely on dramatic claims about AI capabilities.
The Inspiration Award recognises individuals whose work, leadership and experiences encourage wider positive change within technology and society.

As the technology sector continues to evolve, diversity and inclusion remain important considerations for organisations seeking to attract talent, develop responsible technologies and create workplaces where people from different backgrounds can participate and progress.
The 2026 awards placed those efforts in the spotlight while recognising the individuals and organisations actively developing initiatives across the industry.

I wore this coat in Edinburgh and loved the fit and weight. It has a slightly elongated body, and while it is warm, it isn’t overly heavy! I actually ordered it toward the end of last winter, but it was on backorder, so by the time it arrived, we were well into spring weather. I simply packed it away for this season!
I was thrilled to see the brand bring it back, and I love some of the new additions to their lineup, like this jacket and this jacket. All of this got me thinking about the fun, furry styles that have been on my wishlist…see the full edit below!

Choosing a fancy-cut diamond based on carat weight and then choosing the setting is not the right approach. The setting is what determines how the stone’s proportions look on your hand, and if you choose the wrong setting for elongated shapes such as oval, marquise, pear, and emerald, it can either undermine a beautifully cut […]
