I loved Jane Norman. thought it was the best thing ever around the time of my 21st (3 yrs ago) but now i go in and its just the most Tacky clothes in it made of ****ty material that i could make myself. and it helps to be a size 6-8 most the time.

I know exactly what you mean. When they first opened in Cork, all their stuff was really nice, in particular their dresses and tops. Now, it's all the same, you're lucky if you find anything really nice, and it's all made of that horrible clingy material.

the Topshop in Cork is tiny.

Unfortunately. It's in Debenhams with a load of other shops - Miss Selfridge, Bay and Morgan - all piled up on top of each other. Before Debenhams took over Roches Stores, it used to be marginally bigger and better laid out *sniff* oh, to have shops like Dublin

I have to say Zara does my head in. Im a size 10-12 (depending on where I shop), 34c bra (fairly average I woulda thought). I was in there last winter lookin for a winter coat. I saw a lovely one but on trying it on I couldnt even close the xl over my chest:mad:

Ahhh, how come? I work there, loving loads of the clothes atm..

I have the same problem, i can't shop in Topshop or RI, Jane Norman(used to be good stuff), H&M
Oasis also have a good collection, Warehouse has improved their quality. Karen Millen, Coast, Next, M&S(per una and limited edition) also have impressive clothes, Julien(although they have some crappy stuff), BT2, Zara(not good for trousers)
It would be nice if stores do loyalty cards

phasers

I love:
Penneys
Topshop
New look
Oasis
H&M

I hate anything in the ilac centre and those little shops like Japan and miss moneypenny, pure trash!
also warehouse, their collection doesn't interest me and the one in liffey valley smells really weird...

God no, they should be scrapped. They're a wate of time - basically they are there to track what you buy for market research. The return just isn't worth the worrying people do about them anyway. The only time they're good is when shops do the 20% back thing on certain items.
I work in a shop that takes them and they drive me mad. People get so worked up about them, I hate all these losers who need their one cent back after they've spent loads of money on rubbish.

Like:
Awear (but has gone downhill quality-wise),
Monsoon (expensive and some things go a bit funny when you wash them but I love the clothes),
Next (why don't more people like them? good for winter fleecey jumpers etc.),
River Island (jeans etc that actually fit properly on short-arsed little me),
Warehouse (expensive though, nice to look in then find cheaper versions elsewhere like Penney's/Dunnes),
Penney's,
Dunnes (but Penney's is better),
Debenham's (although that's more like a shopping centre with a bit of every other chain in there),
H&M (but when you find something you love you'll see ten other people fighting over the sizes left on the rails),
Boutiques (for something a bit different).


Dislike:
Jane Norman (tack, tack, tack),
Berschka (full of stuff with stupid slogans),
Pull and Bear,
Zara (why was everybody over the moon when Zara came to Ireland?),
Stradivarius (more stupid slogans).

greenkittie

I absolutly hate Pennys and H&M, why anyone who wasn't totally down and out would buy anything in these cheap tacky shops I dont know! Even thinking about the quality of the material brings me out in a rash.

Nightwish

^^^Dont ever stand close to me then, as most of my close come from both of those shops.

Creamy Goodness

seriously why the **** would anyone dislike H&M it has everything i need

* good quality clothes (wearing a H&M zip hoodie atm that's like 3 years old and still looks brand new (well it looks slightly stressed but some people actually buy clothes like that brand new :eek:))

* cheap enough.

* has no crappy logos (not that i dislike logos but some are just plain old **** or fecking huge) or <insert random made up US college> and 19XX plastered all over it.

* it's swedish, sooner everything is taken over by the swedish, the better. (little bias as i work for a swedish company (not H&M)).

the quality may bring you out in a rash, that's not H&M's fault tbh and if it was H&M's fault everyone else would be giant walking rashes.

DangleDevil

I agree with Cremo.... H&Ms the best, love their clothes and its such great value, same for Bershka. Also like Topshop and Urban Outfitters but they are overpriced.

I don't like RiverIsland or Awear and any shops that think there are no people smaller than a size 8!! :mad:

yep yep that is annoying!!!...grrr i hate though the way you can change so much in sizes between shops and the way gap does vanity sizing!

speedboatchase

Someone please explain how Topshop is "overpriced"?!

DangleDevil

Na... don't get me wrong i love Topshop, i don't think its ridicusoly overpriced but compared to H&M its expensive. I'm a student and maybe i just notice it more cause i'm always smashed and could get two pairs of jeans in H&M for the price i'd get one pair in topshop. Same with t-shirts etc.
