Fiona Walsh would like to nominate Sheena's Boutique in Midleton for Champ of the Week.
Fiona said she has been a customer in the shop for a number of years and always finds Sheena and her team so helpful when looking for an outfit for an event, or even just casual, trendy pieces.
She said Sheena's range is always fabulous, and she said she always knows she will find something really lovely in her store.
She said she is not a big online shopping fan, but recently couldn't get in the store so she went online and she loved Sheena's website.
"I found a fabulous outfit and ordered it online. I couldn't believe when it arrived the next day, and it was perfect. I just wanted to congratulate Sheena that she has managed to give the same super customer service that she gives in-store as online. It really is incredibly good."
