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.

I went to vero moda in bloomfields dun laoghaire today(21st of September) around 11am and the…read moreshopping assistant was by far the most helpful assistant i have come across. She went out of her way to help me find some summer clothes which i thought I would have to spend the next two days shopping for since the season has finished and i had a last minute holiday to go to but i got everything i needed within half an hour. Definetly a vero moda to go to!

I went in here recently as I saw shoes in the window and was in danger of swooning right out on the…read morepavement. Anyway, there was no customers inside but beautiful stock I must say - really gorgeous shift dresses and the like, some of which were on sale. It was the shoes I was after and I tracked them down at the back of the store. That was when I nearly swooned again. Only this time it was more like a faint really. The ones I had been admiring were reduced - from something like €595 to €375! Now, even before the recession I would have baulked at paying that! But now that we're all bankrupt? No way! I don't know how this store is surviving with those prices. But it is a lovely, lovely shop all the same and I hope it stays open.

I went to visit Dublin Ireland from the States and I stumbled across this cute lil' shop on the way…read moreback to our Hotel in Dalkey. I felt home the minute I walked into her shop. It had such a wonderful stock of wide variety of vintage wares, knick-knacks, books, albums, clothing, many unique finds and my most favorite of course is, the vintage costume jewelry! I left her shop with a little bit of everything and a lot of the vintage sparkly jewelry. I found her shop to be like a lil treasure trove. The owner Ita was very nice and so helpful, you could tell her passion for vintage was in her whole being. For those Vintage Lovers out there, its a must-visit place to feast your eyes on! You too will catch the Vintage bug, if you haven't already!! Linda
