Sylvia's Fashions is the kind of shop my Mum would love. It is for older women and has a large…read morevariety of styles. There are clothing sizes ranging from size 8- 24 so literally anyone can fit into something from here. As well as the variety of size they also have clothing to suit every occasion with dress, casual and formal options. The staff here are very helpful although they tend to focus their attention on one customer and anyone else will have to wait for quite a while. This can be a little annoying, particularly if you only have a quick question or if you are waiting to pay. If you're the one who is being helped though, it is pretty fantastic. The shop itself is clean and well set out. There is enough lighting and it had a fresh feel. Why only three stars? Well it isn't my kind of shop, but it would be great for people like my Mum who dress differently to me. Also I didn't get served for about ten minutes and there was another lady waiting with me who was getting quite irritated. Otherwise the store is fantastic.

Jolee Boutique stock clothes for women who like a little flair in their closet…read more In fact, the 2 ladies I know with the quirkiest wardrobes (one being my mum) both shop here regularly. Now, I'm not saying they sell gear that would be at home on Lady Gaga, but the stuff isn't your run of the mill "Mother Wear". You wont find beige. If you think your own mum could do with a wardrobe update, cleverly hint at Jolee and who knows, maybe she'll get it.

I love this place. It truly takes me back in time whenever I'm here, and because of this I will…read morekeep coming back. Whenever I pick up a new pair of boots, usually a market find, they tend to need re-soling. This is when I pop don to the little old man at Boronia Shoe Repairs. A true cobbler, straight out of a fairy tale, he does amazing work on shoes and costs half as much as a new pair of boots would normally cost. His store is tiny, with a collection of shoes on sale, and he works out back by himself, tinkering away at your shoes like a labour of love. I have recommended his work to all of my friends, and I now pass on that recommendation to you.

Essentially Woman is a great shop that I have only just discovered even though it has been in…read moreCroydon for eight years. I love it for the quirky accessories although the clothing is targeted at older women around their thirties to fifties. The store is packed quite tight full of clothing racks but the owner Yvonne knows where everything is and is a fabulous help. The first time I went there I got a fabulous bright orange bag. It is small and great for carrying a phone and a few coins when I go out. The best part was that it was just $20! A massive bargain considering the quality of the bag itself. Yvonne is also really great when it comes to styling and you will be amazed at how easy it is to spend an hour in here just having a chat. The atmosphere is really warm and friendly, definitely a nice place to visit.

La Petit Armoire & Quirky Best Bits would perhaps be the classiest of clothing boutiques in the…read morehills. It has two rooms filled elegantly with the latest fashions, designer clothing and cute accessories. The prices cater for everyone - from people like me who think they are rich if they have $20 in their wallet, up to people who can afford the $269 bright orange beach bag that I fell in love with, (and left behind...hint hint). Despite the orange bag being out of my budget I found plenty of other delights to tempt myself with including gorgeous heart outline silver necklaces and a funky pair of red velvet pants that were a steal at just $20. The girl who served me was friendly and welcoming and it was nice to see someone in a fairly up market shop doing work - hanging up clothes, styling the mannequins and generally making sure everything looked good - rather than eyeing me off from behind the counter. It would be right to say I felt very comfortable browsing with no fear that if I touched something alarm bells would go off - quite a pleasant experience. There are two 'rooms' to the shop and in the back one there is a tall gold-framed mirror resting against the wall. I wanted to try something on just to be able to use it - yup, that's how impressive it was. It seems like the place used to be two separate shops - one called La Petite Armoire and the other Quirky Best Bits. I didn't get the feeling that I was leaving one shop and walking into another as I passed under the doorway that links the two, so the owners have done a good job of combining them. The winter trading hours are 10-5 Monday to Friday and 10-5.30 Saturday and Sunday.
