best high street shops?

uniquechic

Inspired by the other thread, what shops do you love to shop in?
My main ones used to be river island and topshop but they are so expensive and have very little nice stuff in there at the moment.
Where do you get your clothes?

River Island.

Haha, nah, in all seriousness I do like River Island. The Ilac Centre store is pretty awesome. I have to admit I wasn't always a fan of it but I do think it has come on in leaps and bounds. I know it has a tendancy to "tack" things up but other than that, I'm liking it a lot, especially lately.

I love Topshop. Urban Outfitters.

Debenhams is a great high-street store. Good mix of stuff in there.

Oasis would be my favourite, bit pricey but generally nice stuff

insert-gear

Warehouse, I like their silhouette tailoring and dark colours

Topshop

Stradivarius (so cheap, but some seriously nice stuff)

Oasis: always get things like graduation dresses and blouses for work there.

New Look: for things like hoodies, tshirts and jeans.

Pennys: accessories, tshirts, pjyamas and knickers/socks.

Debenhams: coats, jumpers, swimsuits, bras.

Clarks: 90% of my shoes are either Clarks or Converse

H&M: but not really in Ireland, think better mix of stuff on the continent.

A-Wear: love their cardigans, dresses, skirts and jeans, and usually buy a tonne in the sales.

american apparel - slightly expensive but i'll pay the excess for clean cut plain coloured hoodies.

urban outfitters - for nudie jeans and nice levi jeans, and not the ones, johnny from carlow wears going to church on sunday, nice washed colours.

h&m - for bits and bobs, their hoodies and scarves do the job.

Topshop and i'm surprised to see French Connection hasn't gotten a mention yet?
They're expensive and some of their clothes are a bit meh but for jeans, winter coats and party dresses they rock. Oh and you know if you buy a t-shirt from FCUK it won't go out of shape like Topshop's tops often do...bought a plain long sleeved tshirt to wear under stuff a few weeks ago and it's gone all baggy at the wrists! >-(

Topshop, full stop! Seriously most of my clothes are from there, between all their various different designers, the brands they stock, their premium, boutique and unique ranges, they are almost a department store!
I love All Saints but it can be very expensive and we've only the Brown Thomas concession in Cork. I love Urban Outfittrs too but it's not in Cork either.
Other than that H&M is good value, and River Island can have an absolutely fabulous item right next to some tacky, diamante encrusted and ripped item with RI all over it!

I'm a big fan of some of the dresses in French Connection. The quality is generally excellent and you can pick up some real bargains in the sale.

River Island is great for shoes. They are so comfortable.

My favourites are definitely Zara and Urban Outfitters....Zara has such good prices!

Topshop: The rare bits I do find I love to death

River Island: As above

New Look: Overall good bits and pieces

Office : 15% Student discount! Can't beat that!

H&M : Accessories

Zara : Scarfs and t-shirts

Yeah the dresses are gorgeous but the party dresses are so expensive :-(
I'm in love with the 'paintbox' dress but it's about €250!

Yeah they really are. It's worth having a look online for them. I presume the FC site delivers to Ireland.

When I can afford it, Star by Julien McDonald have some gorgeous stuff.. very well fitted and good quality fabric..

cmpunk

Topmen
urbonoutfiters for cheap Monday jeans

Seren_

New Look has some lovely stuff, it's really good for sizes too

Dorothy Perkins has the comfiest and best fitting jeans ever! Well in my opinion anyway. I find a lot of people think the exact opposite though.

And of course you can't bate good oul Penneys for the accessories and tshirts!
