It's perfect for the indecisive shopper who doesn't like to do too much walking. Sadly, French connection and Firetrap are having closing down sales at the moment, but who knows what exciting brands will take their place?

The clothes in Pamela Scott are not cheap but they are certainly classy. Last year I bought a…read morelovely purple jumper in their sale and it has served me so well that I think I would have been alright even paying full price for it. On the upper level of the shop are the most stunning ball dresses that are both unique and beautiful and would be perfect for any black tie occasion. Their downstairs daywear is also very chic and stylish. Although they are priced a bit above your usual high street prices, the clothes are very well made and most are classic pieces that will stay in your wardrobe for some time. One of the highlights of Grafton street and not to be overlooked in favour of some of the bigger high street chains.

Pamela Scott Limerick - I agree that Pamela Scott's stock some lovely clothes, and whenever I am…read morenear one of their stores, I make sure to pay a visit. I was in the Limerick store recently. As usual, lovely stock, well laid out store, some good value sale items. BUT - I encountered 3 members of staff, of whom two were less than helpful. In fact I would go so far as to say that one of them (who either was, or appeared to think she was, in a position of authority) bordered on downright rude. Being pleasant and helpful doesn't cost anything. Credit where credit is due, the third lady was plesant ant helpful and seemed embarrassed by her colleagues behaviour. I will not be in a hurry to return.

Anthologie is a cute little boutique clothing store on the main drag at Clontarf. At first glance…read moreAnthologie looks like just the store for groovy 20-somethings, but looks can be deceptive. While it stocks a nice collection of clothing, I tend to find some of the pieces a bit middle-aged and unfashionable. So it would probably be a more suitable shopping destination for ladies rather than girls, or for the refined occasion - think hats and gloves - rather than a night out on the town. The shop itself is nicely set out, with accessories strewn around the store, breaking up the clothing displays and providing temptation for its shoppers. Unlike some of the other women's clothing stores in this precinct, this one is very unpretentious, and doesn't make you feel like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.

I was going to go with Jo M on this and give a 3...but it has definite potential and they were nice…read morewhich brings it up to a 4! It's a really inviting boutique and I like both the decor inside and their window dressing. The shop is small, but has a reasonably good selection-only one size of each item is put on the floor to maximise the space. There is a cute range of accessories and knick-knacks too. The stock is a mixed bag-some of it is pitched at women of a certain age I think. There is definite potential to pick up that unusual special something though and it's surprisingly reasonably priced. A major plus is the welcoming atmosphere. Even though it's small and pretty quiet, the staff member today wasn't even slightly pushy. She was smiley and simply let me know that other sizes were available before letting me browse. This was despite my usual Saturday pottering outfit of runners and backpack. Perfect! I will definitely be back...

This quirky clothes shop sells high fashion expensive items. The clothes are quite different from…read morethe average high street store. There are mostly one in each size of items. They have clothes for casual wear as well as formal outfits, but they would cater more for fancy nights out. They also have a hairdressers in the back of the shop which is quite unusual. The staff are friendly and helpful. The store gives a funky vibe but the expect to pay a bit higher than your average shop. There is parking right outside the door which is great.

Graham's is an excellent and awesome shoe store for a couple of reasons…read more 1. The price point of every pair is not ridiculously high 2. The selection is offbeat and fun 3. The staff is fun 4. There are always lots of shoes on sale, especially between seasons Selling a range of casual sneaks, edgy leather boots and unusual and fun heels, Graham's has a great mix of stuff that will keep you from blending in. Think of this place as a little bit indie. They sell a few brands that I have always loved - Poetic License and Irregular Choice, which I haven't found anywhere else in Dublin. The prices aren't bad, and the sale prices are awesome. Lots of pairs are half off or even more! Definitely check this place out if you're not interested in the cookie cutter party girl look.

Hello "Hello" said…read morethe nice but clearly tired shop assistant, "how can I help you?" She looked at me, realised it was unlikely that I was in to get shoes for myself (we were in the kids dept) and looked for the child that must be somewhere in tow. ...there he was... faster than a speeding bullet, diving through my legs, past the fish tank (really big, impressive and colourful) and under the benches. She looks at the legs and feet poking out, measures the feet and gets a selection of runners for himself. The selection was big and well chosen.... All bright, boyish and garish as hell. I spotted the ones he would go for immediately - not the most expensive (but not cheap), but by far the brightest most garish runners I have ever seen - they even had lights, lots of lights. Within 2 mins he had them on He didn't take them off for 3 days. Great shop, great (and very tolerant) staff.
