This week has been a week of firsts for me – first time to get stuck in a lift (not good), first time to watch vampire series True Blood (I’m addicted already) and my first time to visit Kildare Village.
Generally speaking outlet shopping isn’t usually my bag. I did it once on a trip to NYC and to be honest it wasn’t the best experience.

It opened in 2006 and has grown from just over an initial dozen shops to over 60 stores today and counting. One of the latest additions is Louise Kennedy.
