Lo and behold, I found out they're a part of the same company/brand. How cool!! Same great products, same great prices. They even had a fully operating hair and nail salon inside. I barely had any vacant space in my luggage, but I absolutely had to grab some good deals and exit quickly lol. The store is huge and the various sections are easy to browse. It was also easy to spot employees walking around if you needed to ask for help.

In retrospect, I wish I had packed half the clothing that I did for this trip and just purchased the majority of my trip's wardrobe here upon arrival! The clothing seems of very nice quality and so inexpensive. One of the rolling carry-on bags we used on this trip my mom got here during her last visit and it was by far one of the easiest of all our bags to travel with.

I can't imagine a trip to Dublin without visiting this store. I would love to have a store like…read morethis in Chicago.... or not, because I probably wouldn't shop anywhere else. This store is a perfect blend of vintage and modern. I can always find something that is unique, that I feel comfortable wearing to work, on a date, out with friends etc. The quality of the clothes has always been very good, especially considering that the clothes are not too expensive (mid-range I would say). They also carry a variety of unique accessories, bags, and scarves. You can order online as well, they ship to the US and I received my items very quickly. When I have been in the store, all of the ladies have been so nice and helpful. It's really a wonderful shop. (Follow them on Facebook too, I love their posts!)

Amongst all the cute but quite young clothes, were 2 rails marked one off vintage finds. I would probably say they were more designed around vintage shape and fabrics than actual vintage, but they were seriously nice. The price was amazing, quirky dresses for about €49 and just that bit different, that you know they are not high street!!! Definitely worth a look.

Just a little off the beaten path along Seafort Avenue, this is the secret shop D4 dandies go to for the best of Fashion Weeks past, as previously worn by Social and Personal types. Step into the back for a look at filmier gowns and frocks, but steel thyself for the prices -there's no bargain basement prices (but you will get that Chanel blouse at half it's original sale price). My first introduction to Second Avenue was on a cold spring day a few years back; as we rounded a corner on a closed up shop I wondered if we'd gone too far. A moment later the shop front appeared, blocked in by rows of Land Rovers parked right in front of the shop window. Inside there was quiet as women fanned through beautiful silks and suits hung along the wall racks. At the centre table I fell in love with a black croc clutch that I would end up going back twice to mull over bringing home. The price tag ended the would-be romance.

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.

The best thing about the this shopping center is not the center itself but the woodies across the…read moreroad. However as this review is about the center i better base my review on it. Dated and drab looking this center seriously needs an overhaul. There is a big Dunnes stores which keep the locals happy, a bit furniture store on the first floor which has been so expensive everytime i go and lots of smaller cheaper looking shops and boutiques. There was a restaurant upstairs with miserable looking staff and even more miserable looking food but i think they have a subway there now and a mcdonalds on site too. if you like that sort of nasty fatty food. But the good thing is that this shopping center aims to have everything, from shoes, to groceries, to diy, to books, to health clinics and so much more. Is the swimming pool still there? I'm not sure but i'd certainly avoid the dodgy looking pub outside. when i've parked in the carpark, i've watched some colourful and unsavoury looking characters hanging the doorway; at 11am.

Leia Clothing is a great example of how really cheap and poor quality clothing can still turn out…read moreto be kind of fun. Admittedly, it takes a bit of rummaging to find something of real interest in Leia, but the selection of party dresses is alright. These are the kind of dresses you might wear for a fun night out with the girls, or possibly to a fancy-dress party; frivolous, colorful bits of synthetic materials that frequently have sequins and ruffles attached. Nothing high fashion on the least. But cheap as hell! Leia Clothing also sells really high, plasticky fake-leather heels. We're talking seriously, hooker-shoe high. I wouldn't recommend leaving the house wearing both a dress and a pair of shoes from Leia Clothing, because you will probably look pretty ridiculous.

I must disagree with most of what Mary C. wrote on her review, while Leia Clothing is cheap and…read morecheerful and you do need to dig around a bit to find what your looking for, the clothes are pretty good standard in comparison to certain high street chains I could name and shame. I discovered this gem in 2005 and have found quite a few bargains that I still have. The garments fit well, wash well and are pretty funky! The shoes are good as well, I had a work BBQ to go to and had nothing to wear, so I popped along to Leia and got a dress and a pair of "plasticky fake hooker heels" (the exact same pair in River Island for a third of the price) and got complimented all night about my ensemble! The staff are so helpful, and not afraid to tell you what suits you and what would go nicely with that top/skirt/dress, as with the BBQ, I tried on a really unflattering dress, to which the senior sales girl (Stacy, Shes the best!!) told me that it made me look bigger then I am, (scarlet!!) and helped me choose something that was more me, and I felt great all night!! I highly recommend it if your in a jam, need something to wear quick and are looking for girly, fun outfits that you can wear again and again...till it goes out of fashion, the one downfall of the clothes is that they're very in the moment. All in all a very good place to shop!!

AVOID - Terrible sizing, slow and expensive shipping, unhelpful staff right up to the owner…read more I was very excited to order from Vedoneire, and had high hopes for the brand. Unfortunately their sizing is either extremely inaccurate or extremely deceptive. I ordered a M 3081 jacket, chest 38-40' (as indicated on the Vedoneire website), and received a jacket that was more than 7 inches wider -- greater than a 45" chest (see photos). It fit like an XXL, making it completely unwearable. I asked for an exchange, and that the return shipping be covered (the jacket took about a month to arrive, and the shipping was costly) since the sizing was completely incorrect according to what was listed on their own website. I received an unhelpful and frankly patronizing response, and then an even ruder response from Vedoneire's owner (I admit I was frustrated and mirrored their tone in my followup to the customer service person, but I do not believe a straightforward explanation of the issues with sizing and my disappointment in the process warranted such a rude response from the owner). Until they change their sizing or their return policy I would strongly recommend avoiding this brand.
