If you're wandering around Grafton Street, as tourists often find themselves doing in Dublin,…read moreyou're bound to run into Stephen's Green Shopping Centre. Its most-unique greenhouse architecture allows so much natural light to come through the glass roof. I absolutely loved the look of it. We took a stroll through all three floors. Having never been to the country, I was unfamiliar with most of the shops, but I took note of the few I recognized (Boots, TK Maxx, Claire's.) We were momentarily tempted to try the Chinese restaurant upstairs but thought better of it. Restrooms are also located on the uppermost level. Not super bustling, seemed to be going the way of most malls. And although I wasn't taken by any store in particular, I enjoyed the structure's design & seeing what a Dublin shopping centre has to offer.

The Zara/Forever 21 parts come from the large amount of clothing, shoes and accessories here. The shoes especially reminded me of the fast fashion stores, mass produced shoes that look cute but may not be that comfortable. Some of the stuff seemed really cute though. I didn't recognize any of the brands though. Probably mostly Irish or other European. I had this bright idea that I could fit into a girls skirt (8-9 years old) but alas the skirt didn't have a Zipper so I definitely couldn't fit.

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!

We visited this department store a few days over the course of our trip. I wasn't sure at first what I was planning to buy but I kept eyeing one of the Louis Vuitton perfumes that I had previously discovered on a trip to Maui. Their perfumes are definitely on the pricey side but the nice thing is they're small enough for carry on liquid limits, they have a magnetic lid, and they're refillable - and the refills are also cheaper than the initial bottle purchase. The amount of times I sprayed that perfume on myself over my Maui and Dublin trips, I was sold - so that was my first add to cart moment. Next, was a belt. I thought I wanted a Gucci Marmot belt but my cousin convinced me to check out the Celine department - instead I went with a Triomphe belt. It's such a classic and timeless design so it was the right choice. And finally - the ultimate big purchase was in the Chanel department. For a long time I have been eyeing the goatskin grosgrain cap toe slingback heels. I have tried them on in NYC before but hadn't gone through with a purchase - until this trip; it was finally time! Also to add, every single sales person that we interacted with was incredibly nice. Elsewhere, designer stores don't always have the best customer service; however, I felt nothing but kindness when I was mulling over my big purchases - which to me were really big. And they were kind enough to combine them into one receipt so I could get the best VAT refund as well so extra thanks to each of the sales persons who helped me. The VAT refund process was super easy too - I just dropped off the completed form with receipt information at the airport and after a few weeks received the credit on my cad.

Yesterday, the last full day of my vacation in Ireland, I went shopping for a formal dress to wear…read moreto my son's wedding. I went into this store hoping there would be numerous options to choose from. I also liked the signs out front advertising that there were special deals for tourists. While walking around the store, I got too warm and removed the cardigan I'd been wearing. Instead of putting it in my backpack (I find it easier to carry purchases that way while walking around the city), I carried it. I was immediately looked at with suspicion by the employees I passed, starting on the Floor 1. I sensed that they were even messaging each other about me, assuming I was trying to shoplift (my own 10-year old J. Jill sweater). I tried on some dresses and wondered if someone was spying on me in the dressing room. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything I loved. I was afraid of being stopped and wrongfully accused while leaving the store, so I purposely tied my sweater around my waist instead of putting it in my bag - so it was always visible. Thankfully, I wasn't approached by anyone, but the doorman/security guard (extremely tall man with bright blue eyes) made a point to walk out the door when he saw me coming, and then turn around to look me straight in the eyes as I left. It was a stressful experience; therefore, I would not recommend shopping there - especially if you're a tourist wearing a backpack.

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.

I really enjoyed finding true Irish based products. Thank you ladies!! I was in Dublin for just 7 days and I came back to this shop twice! 10 out of 10 highly recommend!
