Pamela Scott is like a cheaper, tackier Next. The clothes are aimed at middle-aged women (though…read morethey've tried their damnedest to coax in the younger ones) who like very staid office wear by day and a little sparkle and cerise pink by night. There's plenty of cheap accessories, though few if any are worth a second look. It gets jammers around Christmas with ladies looking for a nice frock to wear to the office party. NOt my cup of tea but they have 14 branches around the country so they must be doing something right. Oh and they're Irish too, and that cannot be said of many clothes chains these days. Extra star for that.

We began to think why she would have been so rude and realised that she maybe did not appreciate our Northern Ireland accent. We felt very discriminated and WON'T be visiting the store again !! Not impressed with Irish hospitality.

I was confused at first, is this shop called 'la style', as in French for 'the style', or 'L.A…read more Style', as in style from Los Angeles. I mean, these are obviously two very different things and if you look at my photo you'll see how it could easily be either. Anyway, it doesn't matter really because I don't think it's either. I believe the 'la' of the title to actually mean 't-shirts with sequinned slogans in poor English at bargain bin prices'. Fun for a laugh, and besides, my favourite t-shirt of all time is one kinda like you'd find here, that my Sister got in Malaysia. It has a grid of twenty different sparkly mopeds on it and has a beautiful piece of poetry below called "The Dear Vehicle", and it goes like this: The together living friend to love The destination! The ride quality maximum Motorcycle It is cute and it is stylish Very comfortable Tomorrow is pleasure! It will spend at ease. I love a motorcycle. It intends to run until the engine stops. 'It intends to run until the engine stops', how beautiful is that?! Put that in yer pipe and smoke it, Paddy Kav! I'll bet you'll find some t-shirts, maybe not quite as moving as this, but close at 'la style' ergo four stars.

Their accessories and jewellery are nice too. Maybe a little matchy-matchy for some tastes though!

Think TV ad mother's basics.

A parent should be entitled to get their child's hair cut. It is a stressful time as it is for both parents and children, the last thing they need is a grumpy staff member to add to it. The manager of the shopping centre should feel ashamed and be held accountable for making customers feel this way. The staff member in Kiddies Kutz was brilliant so this is no reflection on her but the manager should be ashamed of herself! Wouldn't return.
