Score! I headed to the empty ones for some quick tester sampling, before going upstairs to check out the clothes. Brands include Lee, Miss Selfridge, Firetrap and be sure to drop into Topshop, where one of the sales guys looks just like an Irish Russell Brand.

One was very good at taking photos of me, positioning me this way and that, to get the perfect photo of me in their wares. Walking around the womens clothing department, there appears to be something for every taste, every age group. A bit on the pricey side, but everything I tried on was good stock and good quality. Recommended.

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. Word of advice: DON'T BRING YOUR GIRLFRIEND! Not unless you want to top up your mortage of course :-)

BT2 is a real example of when the Celtic Tiger was roaring loudest…read more It's basically totally overpriced clothes for young people - both guys and girls. They stock top labels like Juicy Couture, Diesel, Lyle and Scott, All Saints, Guess Lipsy and See by Chloe. There are also BT2's in Grafton St and Blanchardstown Shopping Centre. Now I'd be lying if I said I didn't shop here (I am a big Juicy fan), but usually only around Christmas Time when I have some vouchers or something to spend. I'm not crazy about spending €100 on a t-shirt, and you'd be hard done by to find something much cheaper in the shop. They also stock jewellery, underwear and beauty brands like MAC and Benefit. I like to go in even for just a look around, because the shop itself is quite young and funky.

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.

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!

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.

This is a pretty big Dunnes and so has most of the grocery things you'd expect. The homeware…read moresection in the front of the shop usually has nice shiny things that aren't too pricey. They also do a smattering of furniture although that does tend to hinge on the pricey side of things. However if you need anything for your house this is usually a good place to start. Their cookware section is usually well stocked, and for some reason they sell a lot of photo frames. Upstairs there a smallish section of mens, womens and childrens clothing, which range in price although you can get a good deal on the kids stuff. Mostly they sell staples like t-shirts, tracksuits and jumpers, but they do have some fashion items as well particularly in the Savida section for women. The problem with Dunnes is that it can't decide what it wants to be. In the 80s it was all about being cheap, then in the celtic tiger it went all upmarket, and now it's being undercut by the German supermarkets. At the moment they're dropping prices and trying to compete which works on some items but not in overall shopping trolley comparison I find. Still though this Dunnes is nice and it's where I'd go for fresh bread, cakes and salads.

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.

I think that while reading these review you should remember that different people have different…read moretastes and different senses of fashion and different opinions on quality versus price. 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! ( I sound like someone who insists on egyptian cotton bed sheets and the like, im not, i promise!) Anyway, as i said i may be very different from you, the lovely reader, but i have given my honest opinion anyway and sure what else can i do?
