It's big, two floors has a lot to offer but in my honest opinion more for amusement or amateur sexual encounters rather than for the experienced players.

The store isn't as big as the Melbourne one though but still offers two levels. One level is the ladies clothing and the second level is split between kids and men's. They aren't offering homewares like the Melbourne store does. They have some good options for men and the quality is better then what you are going to get for a similar price in the likes of Cotton On. I stocked up on some much needed items to get me through the winter months. Overall the store is a miniature version of what H&M offers and they are due to have a CBD store at the end of 2015 which will be a similar size to the Melbourne GPO store.

So here's the thing: I'm a big ol' H&M fan. A big one. Whenever I go overseas I hoard and pillage,…read moreI drop plastic like it's poison and rack up debt like the housing bubble never happened. Maybe I've just been spoiled by the giant flagship San Fransisco store which has the world's biggest mens section (men: the forgotten sex, who get about 1/10th the fashion women normally do), and there's some pretty schweet new athletic range, but what I really wanted was the experimental range, the avant-garde stuff with long asymmetrical T's, zips in weird places, stretched necks, all that kind of thing. And the nicer suit-y garb, the wool jackets and cream suits and such. But most of it is like a glorified Cotton On, sadly. And where's the big homewares section that Melbourne gets?! It's super cheap though, which is great. I'm holding out for the CBD store. That has to have all the cool stuff, surely.

I found a couple places in Newtown, mascot & this place which said Waterloo but i would say Redfern :)! Called babylon as my 2nd call and he told me good average prices so i could get a good idea on what i would be looking at spending & was open till 6pm on a saturday, the rest didn't answer or wouldn't give any average price over the phone.. their loss :)! Its a small shop on botany road about 5 mins walk to Redfern station & is only 2 shops down from the IGA :). Layed my cloths out & told him what i needed done for each clothing, priced up on a receipt and was outta there :) (fingers crossed) Could of come back sooner but was more convenient for me to come back a week later :), clothing looked untouched almost like he just clicked his fingers & they were all smaller sized haha!! Couldn't fault the workmanship at all!! Even one shirt which i thought was unfixable he fixed it!! He has had the shop where it is for the past 20 years and is still busy so what does thst tell you :D!! Also sells all types of his own clothing in the shop which is really cool aswell! Was super friendly & fun to talk to.. would hands down recommend him to anyone i know or dont know :). The cloths he fixed i wear more than all my other cloths ... almost like i went to a blast from the past cloths shop that fit me a whole lot better :)!!

Until I found this place which specializes in tailoring and alterations/repairs. The staff are experienced and were very patient during the multiple fittings for the dress. I appreciated that they took the time to ask about my friend's upcoming wedding. Whatever garment-suits, jackets, leather, formal and bridal wear-these guys will make it even more beautiful. They also sell ladies fashion and it's surprisingly decent-you can grab a sophisticated evening cocktail dress from $30.

I know what I mean by that sentence and I'm going to take the liberty of assuming that you will too...

Ok this review is for women only. So guys, please stop reading (but I know you will keep reading…read moreanyway). Love Rouge is the female version of Tool Shed etc, and its located in a 2 level terrace in Darlinghurst. But it is much classier and not at all sleazy. The ground level consists of sexy lingerie and corsets, which make a great gift for someone special or for yourself. But its on the second level where things get a bit more interesting. You will find a large range of female-friendly adult toys and products. Wow, that was very PC lol. So on that note, I won't go into detail but refer to the website to browse, as most of the products are also available to purchase online. The reason I'm writing this review is that I feel this is an area that is still a bit taboo and not openly talked about, despite SATC being around for ages. Love Rouge is a place where women can go to and not feel embarrassed. And you don't have to sweat over getting some brown paper package in the mail! The all female staff are very helpful and can assist you in making the right purchase. They even offer burlesque classes if you want to have a bit of a shimmy in your new lingerie! All women are beautiful and special in their own way and we should feel good about being ourselves. Love Rouge helps us do exactly that. By the way, I'm NOT telling you what I purchased ;)

All too many recycled clothing shops suffer from that inescapable pong of moths and cupboards. This…read moreusually goes in-hand with a higglety pigglety attitude to display which has you racking through bins of vulgar patterns in the hope of finding something vaguely tasteful. But not in this shop! The designer has managed to space all the racks of clothes out very neatly and coherently and there is absolutely no pong in the air. Both the mens and womens sections are carefully hung so you can browse through all the quirky styles available. What's more they all seemed to be around the $50 mark, a fairly good bargain for these vintage finds! There are tonnes of really great pieces in here from all sorts of eras so you'll need to leave a good amount of time to browse properly. I particularly liked the mens trousers section as I didn't know there were such exciting options for men on the trouser front! I was very happy to see some tartan troose in there too! The shoes that line the walls are slightly less out-there but there seemed to be a collection of really great pair of boots among them.

I got one of the coolest suits from here a few years ago, a sweet 80s style suit with a few different coloured squares. This store has some cool items in it and its great, because there isn't as big a crowd as you'll usually find at the more centrally located cream on king, although the prices are still roughly the same. The selection of tops, pants, waist coats, shoes and other 2nd hand clothing goods here are more varied and random which is what I love about this place, you can find a brown leather waist coat stting next to a zebra print tight fitting shirt-I mean it doesn't make sense, but that's the beauty of a vintage clothing store. In most other trendy vintage stores they've gone and over merchandised the place to make it look overly neat and organised-that's not what its supposed to be like. This place is good to go if you're looking for unique looking one offs in the jacket, shirts and trouser variety, not much of a tee shirt section here. Be sure to look in the bargain bin, head scarf and tie sections too.

I think some of the biggest dildos I have ever seen reside here but you gotta cater to them all, am I right? A pro about it being located in a gay district is that it has plenty of toys that cater for men on men and women on women. Have a good browse, the staff are friendly and will answer any of your questions, no need to be shy there, they've seen it all before. The best part of The Pleasure Chest are their special screening rooms. If you go downstairs you can have a little booth to yourself, $2 for 10 minutes. There are a few channels of all different genres of porn so you can flick through and find whatever you like. There are also communal screening rooms which range from $12-$15 for 2 hours, I believe the shop assistant said there were deals for all day screenings too. It's open 24/7 and right in the center of all the action so pop in whenever you feel like it, it's never too early or too late. Choose your fun in a non judgmental environment.

Paid 2 x $28 for me and my partner and there was no one except one fully clothed old man (Presumably the owner) inside. There were cold hard aluminium bus stop style seats that were positioned sideways to regular sized tv's, once of which was not working properly. The private rooms to use were hard benches too, no mattress on there even if you found a person. 100% would not recommend. Eventually one guy came in and said he called before he came and was told there was two couples inside and some other guys. The staff here lie to get your money. I'm telling you to truth to save you from being caught in a lie like we were.

They also cater for those who work in the adult entertainment industry as they stock lingerie, clothes and accessories as well. I went in there to buy some pole shoes for my next end of term performance at Bobbi's Pole Studio and they are fantastic. I had to order them from the US and it took a couple of weeks to come through. The girls there are sweet and really helpful. I think they all work in the industry so are knowledgeable and can provide some great practical advice. So if you pole dance for fun, fitness or professionally, this is a great place to get your gear!
