Best places to shop:

Circus Store
Well for Circus I'm biased! I'm a partner in the store with my lovely friends Fiona Mullen and Damien Gahan. Circus is all about cool designers and fun events.
Powerscourt Town House Centre, South William Street, Dublin 2

Dolls
Dolls is my favourite shop in Dublin (next to Circus of course!). It's full to the brim of beautiful, pretty clothes and quirky accessories.
32B Clarendon Street, Dublin 2

Lucy's Thrift Store
It's located in a basement in Temple Bar, and has gone from Lucy popping in to open the shop every other day, to a full blown full time treasure trove of second had clothes, vintage pieces and curious George objects. If you like a bit of a rummage and have an eye for the original, then this should be your first stop shop.
Temple bar, Dublin 1

The Loft Market
Young designers all under one roof every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Laid back atmosphere with a DJ on Saturday, and a couch to cure the hangover.

The Winding Stair Bookshop
Best book shop in the city. New press mixed up with some old editions and pretty random finds.
40 Lower Ormond Quay, Dublin 1

Rubenesque Ribbon Shop
Ribbons make bows. Need I say more? The most eye candy selection of ribbons available in Dublin.
South William Street, Dublin 2
