I really like the idea of everything being colour coded as well. It makes it easier to browse the clothes, especially when you fancy a certain colour. The clothes aren't usually too expensive to begin with, so considering this is an outlet store the clothes are even cheaper. The store is fairly large with plenty of stock avaliable. They have business attire, casual clothing, sleepwear, swimwear and they even sell a small selection of shoes and accesories such as scarfs and handbags. If you're part of the Harbour Town VIP porgame you are entitled to 10% off full priced items. Yay!

Tucked away behind the business of Rundle Street, Midwest Trader is a real hidden gem. Since its…read moreestablishment in 1992 by owners Jad and Kate, the store has become a specialist in alternative and vintage fashion. 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!

Old americana is the best way to describe this popular alternative store. Stocking men's and…read morewomen's clothing and accessories, Midwest Trader is the go to store for exclusive grunge, scene, metal, rockabilly and pinup styled clothing. 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.

Melbourne label Gorman have recently set up shop in Adelaide, and it's a perfect down to earth…read morealternative to complement the flashier side of label-loving Rundle Street. Artisan, colourful and more exotic than my own wardrobe, while Gorman isn't my exact cup of tea and I haven't bought a lot in the store - it does have the occasional piece I adore (those leopard pony skin boots from last season!) and is definitely worth a visit. The vibe is homespun eclectica: wood, earthy trinkets with pops of bright colours. Lots of African prints and quality fabrics, sweeping rather than body conscious cuts. It's grown up, intelligent quirk: the Frankie girls eat this stuff up. As well as the main line they offer and organics range and a friggen sweet selection of shoes. It's a lovely, spacious store that invites you in - an atmosphere strengthened by the friendly and helpful (though not intrusive) sales staff. Gorman is also committed to sustainable fashion and production processes, which makes them a winner in my book.

I come to Gorman to look, not touch, and certainly not to buy. Unless I win the lottery, now…read morewouldn't that be nice. I genuinely like their clothing, but I wouldn't necessarily wear all of it, it's a little too haute-couture meets Ken Done for me. I still admire all the fabulously made and organic clothing available to people. Exclusivity sucks, unless you're the one who can afford to be exclusive. I seriously would save up for half a year in order to buy a pair of shoes here, buy 10 pairs and then be known as the girl who lives in a dumpster with amazing shoes. Their shoes are simply beautiful, and I recommend checking them out for hot dates, parties, comfy leather work platforms or wedges. Beware: once in, you may find yourself with a serious case of new lottery dream items.

I love Witchery, it's my first stop in the city, at Tea Tree Plaza, Marion, Burnside and the Myer…read morecentre. The Norwood store is bigger than all of them but it's the only one I've ever been really disappointed with. So so so so so freaking rude. The clothes in Witchery are always contemporary, clean and stock great prints, shoes, bags, accessories and a whole new range of children's clothes and men's clothes. It is quite an expensive place (many tops are in excess of $80) but the quality is good and the sizes seem to be able to fit most people both petite and larger. The girl in the last review was talking about her petite size. I am quite the opposite and I really struggle to find a place where the L or the 14 fits me properly. So I can feel comfortable there. Let me take you back to my birthday. I had the day off of work and I had a party that night. I thought I'd treat myself to buying a new outfit from my favourite shop. Sales were on (Witchery always seem to have good sales) and the Norwood Witchery was my first stop because of their big range. During the day, there were not many people in there but the shop was quite messy probably due to the craziness of the good sales. I found a few things to try on but had a question to ask the lady at the counter about a particular size. I stood there and waited while she stood there popping display boxes open and talking to her friend about the weekend she just had. She looked me in the eye three times but kept going. When her friend left, she just looked down and kept going. I had to ask her to help me, but she wasn't willing to leave her box popping. She then asked the other lady to help me. She looked disgruntled to do it and refused to call another store for me. I left feeling about an inch tall and went to Witchery Burnside where the people were lovely and I bought a brilliant top. I'm not a complainer - it's not what I do, but I have never been treated so badly like I shouldn't be in a store. Please don't let it distract from how great the other Witchery stores are - I've only ever been helped.

Witchery at Norwood is different from the Rundle Mall store in two ways:…read more1. The service is friendlier 2. They actually stock my size So every time I come into the Rundle Mall store, all the XS and size 6s are gone. All the 35s in shoes are gone. Basically I'm just looking around at everything I like, wishing I could buy something, anything. But nothing fits. *cries* When you're petite, life is hard. Life is a struggle. Life is full of dilemmas. "Should I buy this now, or wait til it goes on sale? But what if they sell out of my size?" Many a time I have bought something for the full price, the next minute it goes on sale and there's about 5 remaining in my size. Ouch. Other times, I've waited til it goes on sale and they run out of my size. See what I meeeeean! So anyway, Witchery at Norwood is good for me. I don't know whether they stock more of my size, or whether they're just a quieter store so my size doesn't run out as quickly. Either way, I can shop in peace.

I would like this shop more if I didn't have to look at signs saying "You Are Under Surveillance"…read moreevery time I look up. There have to be up to eight signs around the shop. Seriously, we get it. Now let us enjoy browsing! Though, when browsing, be careful not to look at price-tags. There are some nice dresses and more 'mature' evening outfits in this shop, however they are very overpriced for what they are. The dress materials are the kind of stretchy lycra blends that you can buy in any cheap teenage shop for $40. Here they're asking for $250 - and that's on a half price special! I do like all the colours and busyness of the designs. If you're looking for simple elegance however, I wouldn't recommend this shop. They have styles that suit slightly older women, from early thirties upwards, and are designed to be flattering on fuller figure women.

There's a good range of sizes, styles from casual to formal and a few accessories a man might need like ties, cufflinks (formal of course), socks, scarves and a small range of shoes. Overall a good selection plus there's always the sales rack on hand for a rummage baragin hunt.

However, upon entering inside I must say I was a little bit disappointed. There wasn't even one bedraggled vagrant in sight. It was not as I expected, there was not a line trolleys, laden with bottle and cans, parked out the front, and on the whole, the place did not have the putrid aroma of rotting eggs. Instead, I was met with a well dressed man vending slacks and collared shirts, and, i might add, in pristine condition.

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 looks expensive. (It is.) We're talking investment pieces here, people. The kind you buy now and wear for the next 15 years. Classic yet fashion forward elegance. It's always wonderful to see Aussie labels set up in Adelaide, and Unley Road has seemed increasingly dead lately, so it's especially great to have this high fashion addition to the area. Cashed up fashionistas, you *will* find something (or a few somethings) to fall in love with. And the friendly staff are only too happy to help facilitate the romance. Yes, the sizes are small as Kamini points out, which is disappointing but sadly far from surprising when it comes to high fashion. S&T is always worth a visit. Even if only window shopping.
