new look is the strangest shop. it's mostly chock full of absolute tat but the odd time there is something of startling niceness. This is why I still frequent it. and the shoes are good usually.

Ah, Northside.

I'd rather go to my own funeral.

I've never been to one, but I was working with a woman one day who was wearing the absolute deadliest dress, which she got in New Look. Classy, snazzy, understated and shockingly well-cut for a high street shop of any kind, let alone a discount one.

it's really not that cheap. It's mostly sort of somewhere between H&M and Topshop prices, and it shouldn't be. There are far, far too many gross things in there to justify a lot of the prices. Shoes are good prices (most are under 40 and a lot are leather) but I'd say they'd fucking kill you if you actually tried to walk anywhere in them. Their accessories are mostly crap as well.

it's the improbable amount of butchers and fish shops that get me.. holding your breath from one end to the other can really damage your brain.

is it really as great and big as the ad claims?

Oooh, this is my least favourite kind of shop, the sort that has Penneys quality for triple the price.

And as much as I love shoes, I can't really justify ones that I can't walk long distances in, given my preference for foot travel in general and my need to keep my knees and hips from falling off.

No.

Great and big should be replaced with hell and hole.

new look and top shop... and heatons, suprisingly. (do you jackeens have Heatons?) i have long boney size 9's and those are the only places i can get feminine shoes.

i too have the same size nine woes, but sometimes even the topshop ones are a tight fit. that didn't stop me from buying a cute pair of purple flats in there the other day though. i didn't realise new look & heatons did size 9s. is there a heatons left in dublin?
nine west do roomy size 8s too, as do hush puppies. cinderella shoes in arnotts is to be avoided unless you want to wear ugly loafers. evans go up to size 10 i think too, though they're wider fits.

bargain-wise, i bought this in dress form from the oasis sale the other day. it's a really nice cut. yay.

I don't think there is one in dundrum, the flagship is in liffey valley and there are a couple of smaller ones in tallaght and northside. possibly others but those are the 3 I know of.

There's also a New Look in Omni Shoppooing Centre in Santry, according to my sisturd...
