Little Slice of Heaven

The closest friend I have made to date is moving back to South Africa very soon, more to come on that bit. So before she goes, she is imparting all her wisdom to me. We took a little trip around Dublin to show me all the ins and outs. It now truly feels like home. I now know exactly where to go to get a tattoo, a piercing, Rainbow Bright satchel, leather pants, leopard print tops, false eyelashes, bowling shoes, striped tights and wigs galore. Retro Shops in Temple Bar near Sun Studios, Harlequin near Georges St. Arcade, Wild Child Vintage Clothes on Great Georges Street, Savage on Bloom Lane, Also Flip in Temple Bar beside central bank and the Eager Beaver, Eamonn Dorans and the Bad Ass Café on Crown Alley. Now, I may not need any of those things, and they may seem silly to some, but I feel better knowing that in a pinch I know where to get them. She also showed me some great retro shops of used clothes, some with strange clothes, and others for work clothes with an extra kick. Small creature comfort, but one I need to know to keep my sanity is such a straitlaced dressed place that has an very 80s look to it. All of my off the beaten path little shops are just hidden in plain sight, so if you do not know to go halfway up the alley, or turn into a small alcove hidden next to a large retail shop, you would never know they are there. From Chanel to 60's classics, I have it all. Fashion world, here I come!
