Spring has arrived and we’re heading to Frascati, Blackrock for a complete overhaul. Not only is it super-convenient to park and pleasant to shop at Frascati, there’s also a fantastic range of boutiques, stores and salons where choosing a new item of clothing, pair of shoes, updating your hair and nails or gathering the ingredients for a spring celebration is super-simple.

Frascati’s range of fashion boutiques includes Serena (pictured above) where brilliant Mr Boho sunglasses and fabulous camera bags in a range of colours make the perfect addition to your new spring wardrobe. (Check out new-season dresses by Irish label Fee G while you’re there). At Pamela Scott (pictured below), you’ll find both Betty Barclay and Tommy Hilfiger – and gorgeous satin and lace-trim tops in jewel colours and different shapes to suit every style, as well as pretty floral midi dresses and pastel coats for upcoming occasions.

What about updating your wardrobe with a pair of suede trainers – in bright colours! – from Vienna Shoes or a pair of chic summer sandals in cool neutrals from Carl Scarpa. No, it’s not too early to think of summer … We all need something to look forward to. (Talking of looking forward, make a note in your diary to check out Trendy and Bendy, the fabulous Irish activewear store opening at Frascati at the end of March.) At Fashion Relief, you will find designer treasure, and do some good in the process.

Frascati’s Body & Beauty Zone features top brands including F45, The Yogahub, SISU Aesthetics Clinic, Peter Mark and Sugar Coated. From head to toe, every possible treatment is available – what could be a nicer way to welcome spring than giving yourself the gift of a mani, pedi, a blowdry, or all three? At Boots, there’s a scent to suit: choose from a selection of designer fragrances that signal fresher, brighter days to come.

If you are planning an upcoming special celebration, perhaps over the Easter break (an excuse to show off your new look!) remember M&S, Aldi, The Natural Bakery Company and The French Cheese Bar have all the gourmet ingredients for a delicious Sunday lunch or dinner. You will also find gorgeous flowers for at M&S and at Aldi. It’s time to treat yourself this spring at Frascati Centre …
