I walked in and soon realised that most items were one-off pieces, even better I thought! There were cute, pretty earrings and other accessories which caught my eye. Looking around at the price tags shorts and skirts were around $40-$60 (not too bad), and dresses were around $100. The clothing sold here is for young women who like bright, dressy-casual pieces. If you are looking for a warm welcome and some assistance, you might struggle; the shop assistant looked at me twice and didn't smile or say hello. The shop could also use some music to add a bit of atmosphere. Although I have given this shop a 4/5, I would give the service about a 2/5.

I had quite a different experience to Jessica in relation to customer service. I found that the…read moreyoung shop assistant was very friendly, she immediately greeted me when I walked in and asked me after an appropriate amount of time if I needed any help. The shop window looks fairly nice and the overall of the store itself makes you think they sell cute but decent dresses, skirts and shirts. This is only partly true because a lot of the items are actually quite extravagant and very colourful. I didn't really find anything in there that stood out but saw a few nice dresses. Most clothes come in one size only and you'll find a lot of going-out dresses, not much that is very daytime-oriented or casual. Good for a browse though, and with most items ranging from $20-$100 it's reasonably priced.

The clothing is fairly diverse and caters for a range of budgets. You can buy a casual outfit right through to a dress for formal. They often have a sales rack out the front to attract customers inside but don't forget to look down the back near the change rooms as there is usually another sales rack hidden there. They also have a good selection of accessories to complete your outfit.

I desperately wish she'd just find something on the sales rack, or stop dragging us in here! The shop has a large selection of styles, from very casual beach wear up to formal dresses. Their range is quite eclectic, and changes often. When this place is busy, it's a little overwhelming. There are women speaking loudly from all angles, and the shop assistants are very flamboyant, which can be quite fun. I often try to sneak in here for a quiet browse, but if it's busy I don't bother. Though, the sales racks are always worth a look, even if you have to elbow your way in to see them.

It has a large range of clothes for boys and girls sizing from 0000 to about 12 years of age. A vast assortment of styles and colours to choose from and well made with several kids name brands meaning they're expensive. However, there are sales racks of clothes from time to time. Clothes to suit any occasion from casual to formal and the girls always win hands down when it comes to fashion. Boys are stuck in limbo making do with either formal or informal with not much inbetween. But it is a good store to visit for a special item purchase for a special event.

The Witchery brand has been around for years so for them to keep reinventing themselves and stay…read morecurrent and on top in the fashion stakes is a bit of a miracle. Witchery at The Metro Shopping Centre is close by for me and I'm a frequent visitor - too frequent in fact. This is actually quite a small store and on occasion I have been disappointed that something I've seen in one of the larger stores isn't available here but I do like the service on offer as the staff are always friendly and very helpful. Being a small store I'm not too happy about the fact that much of the shop space has been overtaken by their range of Witchery Kids clothing. Leave more room for the big girl clothes I say! While I'm sure there are plenty of mums who love to dress their kids as mini versions of themselves, I'm not one of them and am a firm believer that kids should be dressed in play clothes that are sturdier and harder wearing, not in high priced fashion togs so they have to sit and behave like mini adults. Nevertheless I'm told the Witchery Kids fashion range is going great guns and the stock is walking out the door. I'm just glad this particular store doesn't stock the recently released Witchery Man as well - I don't want to have to compete with them too for space in the shop. It sounds like I may have written a negative review here but that's not the intention. Witchery at The Metro is actually one of my favourite fashion stores. Love the clothes, love the markdowns, love the staff.

I'm pretty sure that's the only way to describe it. This particular store isn't their best one, but it's still not too bad. The staff are always really nice here. Definitely worth having a look see. Also, if you like putting your kids in a fashionable little get up, then they have a lot of their kids fashion range here, and it's all very cute.

This cotton on is HUGE…read more My jaw dropped when I first saw it and it hit the floor when I walked in. you may not be aware but Rubi Shoes is a division of cotton on, so one section of this store is dedicated to shoes. Another section is dedicated to accessories and there are wall to wall clothes catering to guys, gals and kids for your browsing pleasure. If I'm in shopping mode, I can spend a good hour in here, happily sifting through shoes and pretty dresses while contemplating if buying another pair of wedge heels really is a bit obnoxious. The guys section is nearly as big as the girls, so your partner doesn't have to stand there awkwardly while you revel in the good feeling that is accessories, and he wont come back for a while (hopefully). I guarantee you wont leave here without a new something or other, so if you are trying to curb your spending, don't even walk past because the colourful television set display is the first thing you wont say no to.

Make sure you keep any children on a tight leash in here otherwise you may never find them again…read more My daughter and I popped in for a quick browse and ended up sucked into this time warp, only to come out one hour later. Like Elissa says this store is massive and has everything from your usual fashion items to shoes, pyjamas underwear and even swimwear and caters for the whole family. It is a great place to shop for you basic items like singlets and shorts. Most of the cotton dresses are very prone to creasing so you are better off buying something with a bit of lycra in it. If you are buying dresses I suggest the more T shirt style that you can just throw over a pair of bathers in summer. Their pyjamas are really good and the quality is there. We came away with some great summer pyjamas and a cute swing singlet. Considering the store is huge and the range is definitely on the cheaper side, they have done a really good fit out that doesn't feel cheap unlike some of the other competitors in the market.

Tucked just off of the Parade at Norwood is an unassuming little boutique with a few hidden…read moredesigner gems. Yes gems. Of the Stylestalker, Miss Unkon and MyPetSquare variety. From the outside I had assumed Niki Belle was much more girlie and lower priced, with the usual suspects like fast fashion labels Ladakh, Minkpink, Cameo and the like on its shelves - and it is, in part. But the store is also a clearance centre for bigger Aussie designers, and at really good prices. We're talking MyPetSquare for a cool $50. Most of it 50-70% off in fact. While I haven't quite found a piece for me in there yet (I am super notoriously picky though), it's definitely worth a glance on a regular basis. There are bargains to be had, ladies. The space looks pretty makeshift and new, with racks and a few mannequins and a little display for shoes and bags, and that's it. Spartan, yes, but you'll probably be looking to hard at the reduced price tags to notice anyway.

"A girl should be two things: Classy and Fabulous!" -Coco Chanel…read more This saying is the first thing I read when I entered Niki Belle's Facebook page, and I must say that this little Burnside Boutique is doing quite well in living up to the channeling of Chanel. Like I expected, Niki Belle has all the good brands that a girl like myself will go a little koo-koo for, such as Kuku. Seriously, no direct pun intended. Although I have found a shirt here for -significantly- more than at Myers recently, I would still conclude in saying that this store is not too severely priced, especially for a boutique situated in the Burnside area. Plus, like Lana G says, the sales are definitely worth a glance.

With regular imports directly from the USA and UK, Midwest Trader has a lot on offer - ranging from classic varsity jackets and rockabilly styles to punk t-shirts and alternative accessories. Their large range of imported hair pomades is an added bonus to complete that blast-from-the-past look. The friendly staff and quirky décor will make your shopping experience an absolute delight, setting it apart from the clinical manner of other designer stores. You're guaranteed not to leave empty-handed!

Stock is mostly imported from America and the UK, with popular brands such as Wheels & Dollbaby, Dickies, Black Market, Vans, Macbeth and so on. Be prepared to have the dollars out and ready because this stuff is not cheap. I remember looking at a basic Wheels & Dollbaby cardigan once and seeing three digits, I think I freaked out and left the store. This place is great for a look around, with lots of pinup wear to entice the girls, and band t-shirts, caps and varsity jackets for the boys. The workers are helpful and friendly, and usually covered in amazing tattoos.

However one day my friend was over from interstate and dragges me in here when we went shopping at Harbour Town. Honestly I am so glad she did. This store stocks clothes for larger women. They only stock size 14 and upwards. So you don't have to deal with getting nasty looks from size 10 and 12's because they won't be in this shop. They ahve some really nice stuff in here. As well as some very unique clothing. I would never normally go to one of their stores at another location as they can be expensive and I just wouldn't spend that kind of money on clothes. However being at Harbour Town this is like a clearance outlet so all end of season stuff and the likes come here. I managed to get a georgous summer tank top for only $10 and a tank top for only $5. y friend bought a beautiful long dress to wear to a Xmas party for only $15! They have some amazing clothing and dresses, even some great formal wear. I will definitely be checking out the stock each time I go to Harbour Town from now on.

The merchadising though... some weird chic with puppet strings which reminds me of a drag show posted up in the window. shudder worthy.
