They have some of my favourite brands (Ellery, Acne, Alexander Wang and Isabel Marant) but I'm generally here to browse and take a lot of mental notes for when I'm rich and famous. Sometimes The Corner Shop has a monthly sale and it is best to keep an eye on their website to be in the know for when the next one comes about. It would definitely be worth getting your hands on their clothes at a fraction of the original price.

Tucked away on William Street, The Corner Shop is a mecca for Paddington fashion. This cute…read moreboutique packs some punch when it comes to the designers that it stocks - names like Acne, Isabel Marant, Anna & Boy, Ellery, Therese Rawsthorne, Willow, Yeojin Bae and recent addition Jerome Dreyfuss. The labels are a mix of Australian and International with the mix of fashion itself just as eclectic. It is hard to describe a particular style for The Corner Shop which is probably why its clientele are pretty young things who know what they like. Some of the pieces in here are a little too 'fashion' for me, I prefer the more feminine labels like Isabel Marant whose clothes are always SO beautiful.

That sounds very higher order for a clothing and homewears store but it's true. The clothes are for the most part effortless, simple and chic but then there is that piece that have a certain eclectic flair. The homewares are similar - cashmere chocolate blankets are mixed with Sally Campbell textiles that are made in India. Price wise, the pieces are not cheap but surprisingly well priced for the quality - I picked up a beautiful summer jumper for $150. This shop is a must visit for anybody in Sydney.

The fabrics they use are sublime and will last for years, giving you the option of incorporating the items with your existing wardrobe.

They are definitely on a world wide trajectory.

Sure the prices are high but these are designer brands after all and to be expected. Although I have to admit Incu marks it up quite high. This place fits right into my approach to shopping. I don't shop often at all so I have a small wardrobe, but when I do I tend to buy investment pieces that would last me years. I have bought a few items here (mostly when its on sale) and even the most simple items look different when worn. My favourite designer is Alexander Wang and his casual wear line is amazing. He puts a bit of cool to my usual uniform of jeans and t-shirt! The assistants there are usually design students and are nice enough when approached. I guess the clothes speak for themselves and their demeanor reflective of most designer stores. Truth is, at current market conditions, I would rather shop online because you can get all of these designers on websites such as net-a-porter at much lower prices. But if I can't wait or if its sold out overseas, this is when I head to Incu. Lovely store with beautiful clothing.

Incu is great, expensive but great, I don't often buy anything as I don't want to spend $45 for a singlet or $120 on shorts, but if I had an unlimited budget and less clothes I would shop there. They sell casual designer clothes from leading design houses and their clothes cover a range of styles, but are all excellent quality and extremely stylish. Although I try to keep my credit card in my pocket, I still like to have a browse.

The beautiful…read moreand helpful dark haired girl at the counter is very friendly and makes you feel at ease if your somewhat nervous at seeing yourself in the mirror with lingerie on in the middle of white-leg, comfort food indulgent winter. Wild Orchid do bra fittings of course but know that most of the bras are upward of $100 (one stunning push up I noted was $500). You get what you pay for as they say and the fabulous lacy numbers will certainly add a little perk to your day (and your cleavage). They also have a good range of seamless knickers including organic cotton ones for $14 (so soft - I love them). The boutique stocks a huge range of brands including La Perla, Aubade, Chantelle, Le Mystere, Lise Charmel, Simone Perele, Deshabille, Mimi Holiday, Elle Mcpherson, Nearly Nude, Berlei and Calvin Klein - and that's only some of them. They also have Hollywood Fashion Tape, Perfectform silicone inserts and stick on bras, silk pillow cases and eye masks.

Wild Orchid sells beautiful lingerie and sleepwear - the sort of pieces that you fancy yourself in everyday but know that would be a luxury. The store itself is quite small and the grandeur of the window display makes it a bit of a let down. The best pieces are displayed in the window and inside is more basic that you may have been led to believe. The obligatory CK is stocked here but so are boutique labels I haven't' heard of like Spencer & Lacy and Love & Lustre. The store assistants are a bit funny too - not one of them said hello or welcome even as I made eye contact!

When I found out there was an outlet in Sydney, I knew I had to go. Located in Rosebery, the area is what I would describe as industrial chic. Parking in the area seemed limited so I would recommend Uber or public transportation. The bottom floor is swim & resort while the 2nd level is ready to wear. I was impressed by the selection. They had a ton of different past styles. Mostly solid pieces and not a ton of print left but nevertheless an impressive selection. My only gripe was they had a lot of size 3. I needed a smaller size and although it's discounted, the price is still a decent amount to buy clothes that are too big just because you love it. If you're visiting and are a fan of the line, I would definitely recommend you check it out!
