Five out of five brightly coloured tops!…read more I love, love, love Lulu Lemon. The reasons why I Iove this Canadian brand are many but here's a few: - The make their clothes out of fabrics they expect you to sweat in and chuck straight in the wash - The fabrics all feel really nice on the skin and don't chafe - They have some great colours, as well as the neutral blacks, whites etc - They have everything from tights to cool pants. My favourite item from Lulu Lemon is a pair of black pants that go to just below the knee. I can wear them to run in, or they are nice enough that I have worn them out so they are really versatile. They were perfect to wear to a work cricket match - I could run around in them but I could also go out to a cafe afterwards. Perfect! The outlet store is great as well! They stock full priced gear but they also do indeed have some bargains. I bought a jacket I had my eye on at the full priced store for nearly half the price. Sweet! My only concern is that my sister bought something from here and they forgot to take the security tag off, so she had to return it. So maybe check that before you leave. There is a bit of parking in the surrounding streets.

This place is slick and quick. Garments are altered and returned the next day, although if you have…read morea sewing emergency, they seem to be able to accommodate same-day without a fuss. I had two dresses altered here, both returned by the next afternoon and without showing a hint of the work they had done. It wasn't long before I was eyeing off the rest of my wardrobe to see what could fit a little better with some nip tuck work. The prices seem to be fairly standard for the industry, $18-$30 seems to be the standard for alterations that involve unpicking and restitching. $5.50 to fix buttons on the spot. That might seem pricey to people that can do it themselves, but if you don't want your garment to look like a dog's breakfast (I am referring to my own button sewing abilities here) then it's not too much to baulk at.

Hop straight into the changing rooms, try on your wares and stand on the store's elevated podium as you are pinned and altered to perfection.

I always wondered why 'Marcs' had two stores in one shopping complex, wasn't til a few months of…read moreshopping there i realised it's actually one store but split across two levels. The women's store can be accessed from Level 1 and the Men's on Level 2 (You can just walk up / down a flight of stairs if you need both), both stores provide excellent fashions that will keep everyone looking. I've shopped here a few times (hundreds of times at marcs in general), I just love their designs, they stand out but still remain minimalist, there's no tacky writing across shirts, it's all about stripes and shapes, plain and simple. Their pricing is pretty is not cheap, but it's nothing crazy. Well worth a shop if you like well designed, quality items. I've held onto every garment i've bought from Marcs, because their designs are so fresh yet minimilist, you can wear them at different occasions, for (i'd like to think) ever.

It's very nautical at Marc's this season. And I don't mind it, very cutesy Cape Cod style. But I…read moredon't love it that much that I'd pay the prices here. If you're into the sailor look, in a very classy way of course and you can afford the $, its worth a look at the selection of three quarter skirts, wide short shorts, singlets, shirts and dresses. They are all pretty much nautical and preppy looking and make a statement in navy and white stripes, or plain white in very pretty styles. Bags and accessories are a complete NO NO!! Ugly and exorbitantly priced.

Exy as hell, Nom*D Inc is more art gallery than retail store for me. I go in, walk around slowly…read moreand look at every piece intently. Better than an art gallery though because I get to touch everything and even try stuff on. This New Zealand designer store is full of gorgeous clothes suitable for the confirmed urban fashion outsider with a heavy wallet. The look is dark and sombre with a wearable colour palette of black, white, grey and dark blue. Carrying international names like Bernhard Willhelm and Rick Owens, and accessories labels AF Vandervorst and Company of Strangers, Nom*D is a heavy-hitter for the lover of edgy, left-of-centre fashion. For such an upmarket store, the staff are actually really nice and don't seem to mind that I'm often in there wandering around but have never bought anything. I'm sure it isn't just me who does it. They must get that a lot.

One of my favourite labels can be found here: Rick Owens (hooray!). There are jackets, skirts, dresses, tops, boots, jewellery and more in here. Luckily the store is enormous and so the merchandise is displayed beautifully in the space and I agree with the previous reviews, its almost like walking around an art gallery. The sales assistant when I dropped by was on the phone, but she still managed to smile and make me feel welcome while she was in the middle of the conversation - I was quite impressed. Nom*d is the perfect destination if you are after clothing that is different and bold. It's tough and well made from the leather boots in the front window to the draped dresses that hang around the store.

I must admit I prefer to go to their regional clearance centres, because they're a bit cheaper, they're larger and there's more stuff to look at. I've bought most of my shoes from Rivers, particularly this store. A pair of boots that lasted me nearly two years that have only just been retired. Total cost was about $60. That's ridiculously cheap. And I'm all about cheap and functional. I have noticed that there seems to be a lot more low quality stuff in the range now, but even so, a few pairs of their cheaply made and put together shoes have lasted me several months with no signs of letting up yet. The service here is pretty efficient. I haven't really had to wait long at all to be served or to get help.

I'm probably not their target demographic, but the pair of moccassins I bought there are pretty awesome when it's cold. They're not a clothing item that I'm prepared to wear down to the shops, but they sure are awesome for walking around in the kitchen. Don't expect a conventional store if you haven't been here before. The place looks kinda temporary, but don't let that throw you off. The prices are fine, the service is generally okay, and the products are good.

Expect to wait around quite a while until someone offers you help. I've never been lucky enough to find anything here, but perhaps it just isn't my style.

I go in the store regularly to check out the new stock - they carry a lot of the same brands you'll find in the young fashion department at David Jones, but it's a calmer environment, with helpful staff and a lot closer to home. They carry a good range of jeans - Nobody, True Religion and Mavi, and all of the dresses, tops and trousers are arranged by colour rather than brand. I find this a really easy way of picking out pieces to try on together - it's obviously a clever attempt to get you to buy more and I admit it sometimes works on me! Don't miss the jewellery in the glass counter as it's super-cute, and they've got some brands I haven't seen elsewhere.
