The Irish version of a department store i suppose!…read more this is not somewhere i go regularly, the clothes rarely tempt me to buy them, there is an air of "small town ireland and no where else to shop" about it,ijust dont think the clothes in here are ones you would choose when there is so much to choose from in the way of clothes. one redeeming thing about heatons is the household section. if you are renting ordo not want to spend lots on household stuff this is the place to go. you still get fairly good quality and variety but for much cheaper than lots of other stores. There is usually a stand with books and dvds for good prices in this heatons too. you just have to go in to see what is on offer! Oh and when its September this is a great place to go and get school supplies like copies and school bags and big sets full of markers (remember them? you could never get tehm back into the packets once you had taken them out!) so in summary a big no no no for the clothes but for bargain on the other stuff its a great shop!

I forgot all about Heaton's until I visited the Square recently. It is a really good shop, and in…read moresome cases the stock it has is cheaper then Penney's and as the Square doesn't have a Penney's this is the next best thing. There clothes are cheap in both price and quality but sometimes if you are on a budget that is exactly what you are looking for. They have a great selection of shoes and under ware. Really nice bras for 6euro and sexy undies three pairs for 5euro. They have a men's, women's and children's section and is great for workout gear and tracksuits.

Argos is the original catelogue shop which sells everything from flatpack furniture to TVs to toys…read more Basically if you want something it can be a great idea to check if Argos have it before you go traipsing all over town. As you can imagine the store gets really manic around Christmas. This one is on level 2 of the Square and you can park just outside it - which is handy if you're buying something heavy. There are plenty of catelogues to take home as well as the ones to look up items. They have a separate jewelry counter as well where they sell low end jewelry and watches.

I have to say they did a really good job and this store certainly has the high street feel of River Island or Oasis and feels like it's a long way from the supermarket. The stock is pretty good too... probably the best clothing range of any Dunnes, and all with Dunnes prices which are certainly competitive. On the top floor they have quite a nice restaurant and cafe bar which you might find yourself gravitating too once you've tried it.

Don't get me wrong, I can't afford ANYTHING in it, and doubt I will be buying anything in here anytime soon, but I love the brands it stocks. Pauric Sweeney, Juicy Couture, Jimmy Choo...swoon. I could literally browse in here for hours. They stock men's and women's clothing, bag, shoes and cosmetics. There's also a café, restaurant, bar and little food store too.

Was in the lucky position where I could get a suit here recently as a treat after my part-time…read morestudies. As a 36 short in a suit, it's nigh on impossible to get something to fit me with a slim fit. Here not at all. I got an off the rail three piece with alternations for €600. Not cheap but that suit will do me for years and in fairness the range of suits, brands and level of quality/service was brilliant. If you want someone to talk to about suits ask for Patrick.

This Dunnes is where we do our weekly shop and it seems to take forever as the store seems to go on…read morefor ever! It is really well laid out and the shelves are always stocked to the max. There is always lots of fresh fruit and veg and a great deli and bread section. They have a wonderful foreign or exotic food section and health food aisle as well. They have a great home ware and clothing section for men, women and children and there stock in these sections are always improving. At this branch there are lots of checkouts, lots of car parking spaces, lots of trolleys and lots of staff so you are never really queuing or wait for long for anything! There is a cafe here too now, but I am yet to try it out!

I am so happy to be able to hop off the…read morebus on O'Connell Street, pop into Penneys and pick up whatever essentials or random things I fancy. They have completely rearranged the store and it's honestly a million times better now and definitely in a much more presentable state for a shop on O'Connell Street. Homewares are now located upstairs instead of in the basement, and there is a couch area across from the changing rooms at the back of the store for people to take a little rest which is a really nice and sophisticated addition, I don't think I've ever seen a seating area in any Penneys store besides at the shoes. Great area, same up to date stock as Mary Street store and saves you having to tip off down there if you're in a rush.

Along this pedestrian-only promenade are countless shops and a handful of restaurants. The span stretches three-tenths of a mile under the names Mary Street and Henry Street from Wolfe Tone to O'Connell Street. The local flavor, the electricity, the shopping are all an enjoyable immersion within Dublin. The only drawback is the lack of quality restaurants along the way. Only Butlers Chocolate Café and The Church are worth dining in this particular stretch. The installation of a reputable eatery could be a massive success in this area.

What is this place? So you're probably a tourist in Dublin looking for a premium shopping…read moreexperience. Arnotts is the place to visit. I would describe it like the Bloomingdales or Saks 5th Avenue or Ireland. There's not a lot of options for individual luxury stores in the city so this place is a one-stop shop. Selections might be more limited because each store is smaller, but rest assured they have all the popular items. Tax-Free Shopping: For tourists (non-EU/GB residents), the tax-free shopping option is a huge plus. When you purchase your item, let them know you're interested in doing the tax-free rebate. You should bring your passport but the person who helped me said a photo was fine. They'll print out a receipt for you to submit to Planet at the airport. The minimum purchase is 75 euros to qualify. If the purchase amount of your goods is below 2,000 euros, you don't need to get a customs stamp at the airport. Just return your completed form at Planet desk after security or deposit it in the Planet drop box and they'll do it on your behalf. Considering the VAT is 23%, this is a great value for all you visiting shoppers. Don't forget to stop by this place and check it out before you leave town!

Ah, so that's where all those snake skin tunic tops are coming from…read more In a move that's sure to enrage designers and buyers who take good quality clothing seriously, Fashion Outlet delivers their own brand of coture to the masses with incredibly cheap goods. Now, you do get what you pay for here, and most of the fabrics used for their lines of trousers, shirts and suits are of a disappointingly low quality (suffering from the dreaded Three Ms: Man Made Materials). As a silver lining, you won't pay more than €5 or €20 for most of the items on the racks. As a rule I give this shop a miss, but for ladies in the market for black work trousers good for a few months, or an acrylic sweater sure to unravel on the drive home, this is your first (and hopefully last) stop.

So very different, okay? So with that in mind let me tell you that this shop is one that i do not really frequent and one that when i have gone in i have never ever walked out with a bag in my hand, well not one from that shop anyway! Everything in here is really cheap and not very nice in my opinion. Nothing looks to be particularly well made and the materials that are used are not the type that I normally like to wear at all at all!
