Need some new undies? While target and K-mart do cheap Bonds gear and other brands of underwear,…read morethis place has a bigger range, and the prices are cheap. Not drastically cheap, but cheaper than Myer. Depending on what you are after, sale stock will be quite reasonably priced. There is also a big range of bra's which is something that definitely don't come cheap anywhere else but here. I was lucky and found the exact type that I wear on sale here. I went back a few months later and they had a whole different range in, I suppose that's the way it goes with factory outlets. There is a full range of women's, men's and kid's underwear and some pyjamas, as well as sports clothes and tracksuits. Brands include Bonds, Berlei, Jockey, Holeproof, Slazenger and Everlast.

Buying lingerie should be as sexy and tactile as it sounds - all that lovely lace and satin. Whilst…read morebattling the sales at David Jones or snapping up three-for-one deals at Big W might do the trick for your sporting basics, trust me, after a taste of the luxury side of lingerie, it's hard to go back. Anari Lingerie is a Mosman stalwart - though the name is relatively new. I love its balance of simple and special. Basic Calvin Kleins and Elle MacPherson bras and knickers are there, along with some more exclusive brands like Simone Perele. Being 'mature' Mosman, there is also plenty of more 'stately' wear, plus nightwear from silks to frivolous sheep-printed PJs. Shopping here is a personal experience - none of the 'bra-lady' stuff you get in a department store (did anyone see Breast Wishes? Hilarious). Discreet staff are on hand to advise on fit and brand options, but are only as intrusive as you want them to be.

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.

Although modern day realities have shifted, at least I can still dress in the styling of this iconic era. Retro Spec'd is not your average vintage store. The majority of its dresses are made new in the prints and patterns of the 50s. From flowery halter swing dresses to pin-up-esque pencil dresses, the designs are classic without that "used to be someone's grandmother's" smell. This store is a winner for anyone who wants to look rockabilly, punk, or just different from your typical Sydneysider.

They sell clothes for women size 16 to 24. Modern fashions for young and old, they don't discriminate they have fashion for all ages. I went in with my niece to find something for a barbecue. My niece is a size 18 and she has also just had a baby. The lady in the shop was very good, showing her everything she thought was suitable. Those few extra pounds didn't matter at all, she was more worried about getting the style right. My niece had never been there before, I hadn't becuase I am quite a bit smaller than my niece (everybody seems bigger than me at 152 cms). However, my niece will go back because of the rapport with the woman. My niece is quite shy because of her size, she's the largest female in the family. However, this time she bought an outfit and came out happy and isn't that what it's all about?

Sometimes we just need a place that sells all the basics. Plutos does its best to be that place…read more A tiny body wear store tucked away on Hall Street, specialises in bras, underwear and all other undergarments. None of the fancy stuff, mainly Bonds. So pretty plain but comfortable things. It's a great concept for a store but a larger variety wouldn't hurt. Since it's so small everything is rather compacted and stuffy so not much room for browsing without bumping into someone else. Even though it has a good selection of basics, I'd rather get my Bonds undies and singlet's from a store like Target where there is a much larger variety, often specials and discounts and they don't get pissed off at you if you need a plastic bag to carry all your new purchases. Yep, once the guy at the counter in Pluto's told me I hated the environment because I needed a plastic bag to carry my new bras. Perhaps I should have worn them as hats and strolled along the street home.

I didn't realise until I was researching the store for a review that there are about 20 Trade…read moreSecret Stores. I am really surprised that there aren't more because they are wonderful value. As with all discount outlets you have to be careful what you choose, there are good things and then there are some incredibly bad things. But I must admit, the good win. They have lovely fashion items for men and women at low prices but fairly good quality and they also sell all the accessories to go with them. I went in for a look and left with a pair of pants suitable for work or casual wear. It was an expensive research mission!

The clothes are all ready-to-wear and are attached with labels like Isabel Marant and Marc Jacobs and nothing is really bad but I can honestly say that in all my time coming here (I have a look-in most times when I am in the Paddington area) I have never found anything there to buy. It seems to me that this store is a haven mostly for that buyer who relishes owning designer clothes for their own merit more than the one who is guided on what to buy by her own style. These guys have shoes as well but this is mostly a women's clothes store.

It is unfortunate that my perchant for beautiful clothes (at designer prices) doesn't align with my…read morepay packet. If it did, then I would be shopping at Belinda, and often. This is the big sister of casual designer store The Corner Shop, and has more grown up designer labels such as Marc Jacobs (as opposed to Marc by Marc Jacobs), Lanvin, Dries Van Noten, Vanessa Bruno and Helmut Lang, to name a few. What you get in return for handing over your credit card (and soul) is a collection of beautiful pieces that will ensure you don't look like anyone else in Sydney. And people can tell the difference. I love this store for the grown up in me, but as long as the world economy stays in this state of disarray, unfortunately I'll be shopping online at www.net-a-porter.com as I can get the same pieces, much cheaper...
