Handbags and headpieces are the weapons of choice in this small yet stuffed store in Dundrum Town Centre. It’s all about accessorizing, glamour-style. Whether it’s for a casual night out with friends or a very special occasion you’ll find a fine selection of handbags to match the dress but also bracelets, necklaces, earrings, hairbands and yeah, feathery headpieces. Don’t really know about them though. With my curly hair, well, I’ll atleast not look like a graceful swan.

I found myself in the exact same situation as David found himself in. In need of a present, I had to be dragged into Costelloe and Costelloe by a lady friend and found myself walking out the door with an elaborately wrapped purse in hand for under fifty quid within twenty minutes. Easiest present buying ever. And I absolutely hate having to buy presents for girls. Recommended if you don’t know what to get a young wan for her birthday.

I would never had ventured in here if my girlfriend hadn’t taken me by the ear and forced me through the door… i needed a present for my mum and suposedly this was the place to go. She was right. This place is really good for presents, with managable prices and a nice selection. The staff are really helpful, listen to what you are looking for however vague your idea and will generally offer some good advice and not try and push the most expensive thing in the shop. Though by the look of my i barely looked wealthy enough to own shoes let alone by able to afford some silver or gold.

You have the dress but you need everything else to make it an outfit. Costelloe & Costello is super fantastic for finding the perfect accessory to finish you off. They have necklaces, earrings, rings, scarves, bags and pins in every colour of the rainbow. So if you’re having trouble finding a bag or hair clip to match your off-beige, not really gold, almost bronze, but more creamy coloured dress, you’re chances of finding it are much higher here than anywhere else! And… most of the stuff is pretty affordable too. It’s nice for nick-nacks and also for presents for the girls.
