Hi guys,

Am completely green reading your posts and seeing your purchases....Oh youth!!!!! BUT I need help! Passed the big 4-0 this year

I just CANNOT shop in New Look/River Island etc any more - it's just not right! I do love fashion, but need it to be easy to find. I LOVE Marithe Girbaud, but sooo expensive.

Please let me know the name of a shop for me!! Have bought online from Promod, which are great, but would really prefer a shop.

Thanx (in envy)! guys....

Hi there...love the unstructured look. Used to live in Belgium and they had a brand there called "Sandwich" - it's Dutch. I've written to them to see where/if they stock anything in Ireland, but no answer. It's not expensive and quite cool (for 40....lol!!!)

With you on the 12, also 5'6" -and in Cork.

sandwich is available in midleton. on the main st. shop called the arcade. also available in bandon main street, o learys.

wow! thanks for all that! wow! again and thank you!!!

I actually cannot see myself for a shop (alone!) for ages......but do you know anywhere in Cork City.....even as far as Douglas? And thank you for all sofar!

you could try douglas shopping centre ( tescos ) there are quite a few new shops there, nice labels. its on 2 bus routes if you need them 6 and 7. also there is a multi store car park, no charge.
cant think of any where in the city, besides sheena, at the moment, but i will post if i do. sheena s prices are a lot more reasonable than they used to be. i did notice that the small boutique on the corner of cook st ? had some nice bits. not 100% sure its cook st, but it used to be , i think susan charles. its beyond marie claire, and the lingerie shop on oliver plunkett st. might be worth a look.

My Mother is 45 and I'm 21 and we always share clothes. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.
