Besides the weird toe and the fact that the dress doesn't really suit her, I can't see anything else wrong....what am I missing?

^^Count yourself lucky. I've seen men in their late 20s wearing that and similar t-shirts. Talk about embarrassing....

I saw a man who must have been in his late 40's with a "if found, return to pub" teeshirt, I cringed:o

The only t-shirts I have bought in the last year have been threadless. I fear for the day when I become too old to wear t-shirts.

I feel really embarrassed when I see things like that. :-/

Went to the most gorgeous vintage shop today! It's in Tullamore, called Gladys'. Apparently it was featured on Xpose and Off the Rails (or Head to Toe, as my mam still calls it). Anyway went in for a gander, and she has some beautiful clothing. It is a bit on the expensive side, dresses starting at around €150, but the stock is very high quality. Everything in great condition, no musty smells, and generally gorgeous stuff! Left with a wee hat, and told her we'd be back when the coats are in If you were looking for something special, I'd definitely recommend her.

Did you just happen upon the shop down there or had you heard about it before?

My mam had heard about it somewhere, and we were in the area visiting my aunty. Dropped in to have a look, stayed over an hour!

Not directly fashion related, but I'm getting some new film for this, which means I'll be able to take more photos of bargains I find (1, 2) and more importantly some stylish (and not so much...) people (1, 2, 3, 4)... which I can't wait for. Give me a shout if you see me wandering around town with it

ASOS final clearance... so difficult to resist...

I always find it difficult buying online with regard sizing. Also, the selection of stuff on ASOS(for guys) always seems bland to me.

I have an exam in Cork on Tuesday. SERIOUS shopping spree afterwards.

Michellenman

Anyone know anywhere in dublin (preferrably the northside or in town) that I could buy a beret?

Fajitas!

Stephens Green shopping centre is the only place I can think off - Wrong side of town though.

Twee.

There's a hat shop at the Dunnes end of Stephens Green Shopping Centre, on the ground floor. It's only tiny, but they should have berets.


Edit: Beaten to it

Michellenman

Thanks! I don't mind where in town, I just meant northside as in shopping centres like liffey valley or blanchardstown. Is there a hat shop place in Stephens green?

Fajitas!

Yep indeedy, it's a whole shop full of them

Actually, now that I think of it, that fabric/vintage tweedy shop by Georges Arcade might have them too. Harlequins? Is that it?

I'm awful with names.

Oh yeah! I forgot about that place! Might be a little expensive though, I'm just looking for something cheap. It's my going away party so I'm having it french themed. Strings of garlic, baguettes, croisantes, red wine, berets, Air playing in the background etc :P

Fajitas!

Ring'em and see!

Oh that's really nice of you, but I would't want to put you out! Don't worry about it, seriously! I really appreciate the offer though! I'll be heading in to town tomorrow anyway!!

Fajitas!

Ah I was passing by anyways. Lady in there said they'd none in at the moment, it was the 'wrong time of year' for them... Stephens Green it is. I saw a beret shaped object when I was dashing out of the food hall in M&S too, if that's any good to you

That was so nice of you! What a gent

Michellenman, they have some of the new season hats in M&S. I didn't notice berets amongst them, but I have one so I wouldn't be looking out. I got mine in Accessorize a few years back, but it was about €26 so you may not want to spend that much. Penney's often have them but I don't know if they have any winter stock in yet.

Michellenman

Thanks everyone! I'm heading to the gym in the morning and then going to go in to town after so I'll have a wander in and around the shops mentioned and hopefully I'll come up with something decent

Michellenman

I got one! Picked one up in the hat shop in Stephens Green shopping centre today They've a wonderful selection of colours and patterns actually

Only that's bothering me is that is was obviously packed flat so the little sticky up thing in the centre of it is flattened, I might try iron it up or something.

I LOVE the colour though

Twee.

Ooh it's gorgeous! Can I ask how much it was? Can never have too many hats...

Michellenman

€15! Wonderfully made and the material is lovely quality!

That's right, never have too many hats!
