Paolo Rossi Shoes and Accessories is a quality shoe and clothing boutique in Malahide…read more Shoes are its specialty, and there are countless pairs ranging in price from about 70 - 100 euro (on average), although they had some shoes on sale for around 50 euro. The clothes in this store would suit smart-looking 30-60 year olds, although there are some pieces that would also appeal to a younger demographic. I fell in love with a coral 3/4 length jacket in the display. Wasn't so in love with the price though... The shop tends to attract a lot of mums with prams, so be ready to dodge small children while browsing. Paolo Rossi has a really classy interior too, with some great wallpaper and lovely heavy changeroom curtains.

Are you 30 or 40-something, fairly wealthy, and into quality, resort-style clothing? Then Stepz is…read morefor you. This store isn't really to my tastes, but I don't fit into any of the above categories, so I guess it's not surprising. However, even though I wouldn't shop here I can appreciate that Stepz stocks a fairly decent range of clothing in quality brands and fabrics. The styles sometimes leave a little to be desired, but that's probably more a matter of personal taste than anything else. I did happen to find one very gorgeous camel coloured, very tightly fitted business skirt which, if not for the phenomenal price tag, would have complemented my wardrobe rather nicely. Stepz also stocks a range of jewellery and shoes, but I wasn't overly impressed with their offerings. Again, their range would probably appeal more to its target audience. Yet another boutique for the ladies-who-lunch of Malahide.

From the outside Oh La La could be mistaken for yet another snobby ladies' fashion store in…read moreMalahide, however this one is a store with a difference. Oh La La offers a range of boutique resortwear items, specialising mostly in beachwear and kaftans, and it manages to achieve a certain air of sophistication without the haughty sales assistants and hefty pricetags of other such stores in the vicinity. To demonstrate: you can pick up a lovely little beach dress from around 30 euro at Oh La La's current sale. And these outfits are very nice too, they're not your usual grossly out-of-fashion pieces that rich women sometimes mistake for chic simply because they find them in a boutique store. I was particularly impressed with the Parisian brand Deca, and found several of their pieces that could just find their way into my suitcase for my next beach holiday. Deca's fabrics were amazing... don't take my word for it, go in and see for yourself. The ladies who work in this store are lovely and friendly and not pretentious in the least.

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.

The decor is very old, non frivalous, however the shopping centre does have a good Dunnes Stores Department store serving the needs of the local area.

Right, so the know the way that TK Maxx is great idea (cheap clothes and low prices and all that…read morelark). But, you'll also not have failed to notice that it doesn't work out that well in practice - a scrum of people rifling through aisles and aisles of clothing, everyone getting all sweaty and bothered before they try on the t-shirt that you were thinking of buying. Eew. And the TK Maxx in the Pavilions in Swords was no different to the other ones all the other times that I've been there, except that you can't go to a nice coffee shop to recuperate afterwards, as you are in the hell that is a gargantuan suburban shopping centre, and you have to make do with a shitty and soulless Kay's Kitchen. Double eew. All of that changed earlier on today, however. For this morning (Monday) I went to TK Maxx in Swords and hardly recognised the place. There were literally only about another twenty or thirty in this vast shop, so there wasn't the usual feverish mill that one associates with the chain. I was there a little over an hour, and in that time, I managed to pick out and purchase 4 jumpers (in the summer, I know, I'm a tool. And they were all knitwear into the bargain.) Within this relatively small window, I also tried on but rejected about six t-shirts. You know when you have one of those days with the TK Maxx t-shirt aisle? Yeah, it was one of those days. This sparseness of shoppers makes sense, though: people would tend to be in town during the week, and so might stop off at TK Maxx and make it all horrible and crowded and sweaty. Whereas people only go to horrible retail monstrosities like the Pavilions at the weekends. So, if you want to stock up on your cheap designer labels, head out to 'burbs on a weekday morning and escape a little of the drudgery.
