You can usually rely on finding something nice here if you're willing to hunt for it. And whilst…read morethere's nothing too original about Just Feathers, simply stocking the same dresses and tops as every other inexpensive dress store in Sydney, amongst the same-same you can find something pretty - and often for cheaper than at the competitor's. There is a LOT in here and everything is going pretty cheap. Just don't ask the staff here for help - once asked the sales assistant if she had anything in the store that would go with the skirt we were trying on, she gave us a spiel about how it doesn't matter about what does with what this season (it lasted for 5 minutes) then at the end, when we asked if she could recommend anything she responded with "hmm, no, sorry".

If you got it flaunt it, that is what this shop is all about. The dresses in here are sassy as…read more They are all above the knee and most thigh high hem lines. Practically any item you look at is $50. I think if you look after these items they may last awhile. But the fabrics are not expensive, the cuts are quite interesting and there is something to suit almost any mood. It is a girlie store, so if you are into an underground sub-culture you may not appreciate this stock. However, winter, summer, autumn or spring, there is always a mini dress to be adorned with amongst other lavish attire to flirt the nights away with here. I think the sales staff and customers would really benefit from seeing the staff wear the clothes on their shift at least.

This is a large second hand store, local people who do not find any use for old clothes and items…read morecan donate them to this store. There are plenty of racks of old clothes and shoes and there is even quite a big range of furniture. I noticed that it is all laid out in a very co-ordinated manner. Colour coded and even placed in order of their use, for example, trousers, blouses, lingerie, nightwear, and then in the colour coded system. So you could find your way around easily. You had to leave your bag at the counter when you walked in, but the staff were diligently working and offered assistance when required. I found what I was looking for, I was shopping for costumes for my short film and I got the perfect dressing gown, it was great and for only $8 voila. Also some new g-strings were in store, $2 each and new bras $2 - there were my props, but yeah you could tell they weren't going to move in a regular store so were donated to Vinnies and sold for a smidge of the price. There were also some mirrors, desks and chest of drawers that were a little bit more expensive than you'd imagine to pay at a charity store. But I think it goes with the area.

There's only one problem, what to pick becuase there's so much to choose from. I must admit there is an awful lot that I would not choose for my grandchildren becuase it's not to my taste but that still leaves a lot. The dresses are all frilly and lace, the sort of thing you would expect a doll to wear, the boys clothes are straight forward. Lots of colour but don't expect to see Fred Bare or Osh Kosh here. Mini Pemguin also has children's accessories.

Their clothes and accessories are all from Indie labels Whyred, Three Over One, and Superfine. They also carry home ware products from Have You Met Miss Jones. While their clothes are not from the European fashion houses, they are trendy, cool, and fashionable nonetheless. And the shop itself has a pleasant atmosphere and staff that makes shopping here a delight. If you're fashion forward or looking for the perfect piece to add to your home, you may want to stop by The Other Side.

I like this woman's clothing store a lot as long as you can turn one blind (just one because…read moreotherwise you're not going to be able to see) eye to the price. The clothes are smart, structured and fit for a woman. They have silk and cotton tops, skirts, dresses, trousers, and scarves as well as sunglasses and they will suit if you are a conservative or a classic dresser. I have a beautiful cream cotton and silk top with black stripes that I bought here which I love. I also bought some great dark blue straight-leg trouser pants here which have served me really well. So yes, the prices are more on the expensive side but there's no need to empty out the store - a couple of pieces from here will benefit your wardrobe nicely. Also, if you think you've seen this store before take note that it's the more cool-casual twin of Max Mara which looks and feel more corporate.

Clothes at Max & Co suit my style and preference for quality and I don't want to stretch my budget…read moreto shop at Chanel even though I'm tempted. I shop at the Sydney Chifley Square store and with the help of "my stylist" also known as the store manager (Pam ?? ) I walk away with a divine mix of clothes that I never could have put together myself. Initially I think "that's not me" but I'm asked to try on a few pieces and to my surprise they make me feel that I would be at home in Paris or Milan. Ok, Ok, my friends at least tell me I look chic, I guess it's the confidence that is inspired by "my stylist" and the suggestions of which classic pieces that I could add and also accessories that Max & Co may not sell. This limits my impulse buying of clothes that I regret and may not even wear. I should add that you may not initially appreciate that being told "that does not suit you" or "try this size" but at the end of the day you are not told that you look "great" in something that does not suit you or fit you properly. Get a "stylist" or use mine at Chifley Plaza, I call it "no regret" shopping and is cheaper in the long run.

Haven't been to Sydney for almost a year now. Sydney International Airport Duty Free is pretty big…read more They are super brilliant to have it strategically placed prior to clearing Immigration as well as after being screened by Security prior to boarding your flight spread across the departure gates. From what I hear and I believe it's true, SYD has a noise curfew for planes taking off and landing so I don't think that Heinemann Tax & Duty Free operates 24 hours a day. One of my Industry perks is that I'm able to get an airport discount at the Duty Free Shops, not only customers don't have to pay taxes, it's also more convenient to shop here rather than buying online or from the department stores. They have everything from Luxury Goods, Health and Beauty Products, Fragrances, Liquor, almost everything you can find in a Fine Department Store. The best part is that the USD is much stronger than the AUD, so purchasing from here is another added bonus. It's highly likely that I'll be buying from them in the future and will probably be spending more!
