I really want to pick up a few bits from Zara and Forever 21. However, I don't live anywhere near either of these places and I can't find it in myself to order from two different shops in the one weekend. I'm almost considering using Parcel Motel to trick myself into thinking that if I don't answer the door to the postman it doesn't count.... I think I have a problem
I just had a look on https://www.opsh.com/ there - they do forever 21 but not Zara - I think you put in the one order but just checked and the clothes are delivered from the different retailers so wouldn't solve your problem!0 -
Maybe Folkster? I love that place, having been introduced to it only recently! If you look at their website they have plenty of dresses in your budget. They're in Temple Bar, right beside the IFI.
....speaking of Folkster! :pac: I bought a skirt there the other week, it's maxi length and a mix of 80% polyester and 20% spandex. The way it's cut means it opens at the front, but there's a built-in mini skirt as a layer so it's not indecent. My problem is, the material sticks to my legs/tights instead of hanging down, and looks really weird when I'm walking
Does anyone have any ideas on how to combat this? I tried the trick of spraying hairspray on my tights and the inside of the skirt in case it was pure static, but no joy. Because of the built in mini skirt and the way it opens at the front, I don't know that a slip would help without looking even more odd. Maybe a silk lining? I really love the skirt so I'm willing to try any suggestions!
Pic of skirt in question:
I wonder would silk stockings/tights help?
Or attaching a safety pin inside the skirt, I seem to remember something about diverting the electric charge or something?! Sorry I can't be more specific about how it works but it allegedly does... personally when i have static cling issues I dampen my hands often, works for me as I always have a bottle of water about my person but in fairness I probably look like a lunatic periodically patting myself down with slightly damp hands :pac:
Great skirt by the way, definitely worthy of the effort!0 -

Can I ask a quick question: I have ordered something from Brown Thomas (a handbag). Got an email to say it has been dispatched. Because I can't wait until tomorrow when it will (hopefully) be delivered: Just wondering what is the packaging like, will it be all nicely presented or will it be like other online shopping and wrapped in black plastic or in a plain brown box?
*excited*

You can return to the stand alone stores now - it used to be crap as you'd have to post back to Spain! There's a big store on Henry Street.0 -

I can't vouch for handbags, but when I ordered make-up from them in came really nicely presented in a black box with tissue and what not. Quite a contrast to my usual Boohoo orders :pac:0 -

Logged onto eBay this evening and on the front page there was this wedding dress and I thought "I've seen that somewhere before" but couldn't remember where so I Googled Kate Middleton, and up pops a pic of her in this green dress is it just me, or are they the same bar colour?

Faith, since you're in Canada, would you consider posting for advice on reddit? I've asked questions there when I've visited north America and Canada in the past, since the users are mostly from those regions. They might have some more specific advice on shops that are accessible to you. Reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice is where I've gone in the past

Good suggestion, Jo, thanks! I'm moving back in a couple of months, though, so it's good to know the Irish/UK brands too
Ooh yay! That's great
I've just gotten a job offer for something I've been after for a while, and since I'm now going to have a "proper grown up" job, I'm in much the same position. I want to spend more and have a good quality, smaller wardrobe that's work appropriate but probably also something I could wear out/on weekends.
I plan on checking out Cos, maybe Reiss, and definitely Warehouse, Zara and Oasis. I know that last 3 aren't the most high-end, but they'd be more within my budget and have some good basic pieces.
Maybe checking out Kildare Village might be an idea as well? I have a lovely silk skirt from Karen Millen I bought there a few years ago. Ooh, and Ted Baker too! They have some lovely stuff.0 -

Does anyone here use Depop? I started using it recently and have "liked" a few items and within a few hours I have a private message from the seller asking me am I interested in buying the item. Its starting drive me mad and its putting me off using it.
I haven't commented, bought etc yet so I don't know why these sellers think its okay to message me asking if I want to buy, I mean, surely if I wanted to buy I would either comment, or click the buy button?!
Its starting to really put me off. 0 -

I cannot believe it! I have literally worn the ar$e out of a pair of jeans! I've had a pair of Awear jeans for many years, totally not in fashion, flared, so comfy, short length so I can wear them with trainers, flats, flip flops, flat boots in winter, timberland style boots when at rallies. Ends of them worn away from being dragged on the ground. Have gotten so many compliments on them over the years, they fit me so well.
Turns out I have literally worn them to death! And Awear is gone!! 0
