Frank is also very creative if you need ideas or want to bounce ideas off him, from which he can then he can refine. I have had a rose gold ring custom made and now in the process of getting a rose gold necklace made. The product and also the service provided by Frank is exceptional. In addition, his in-store selection of jewelry (already made) is very nice. Will continually shop here again and think others would find the same results.

Super glad I dropped in and had a great experience.

The Met Store has products that are influenced by and stocked at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The jewellery is inspired by different time periods (Egyptian, Mesopotamian etc.), as well as classic art deco artists and designers. Also, it is worth noting that The Met Store is the only place allowed to reproduce the original designs from the Tiffany store. Other highlights include the scarves and children's' books. There are some beautifully illustrated classics like Alice in Wonderland and The Secret Garden, as well as some really cool art and popup books. The service is always spectacular; the sales assistants are very knowledgeable and really friendly. The only problem I have is the space. The store is quite small so watch out if it's busy and make sure you don't get sent flying into one of the beautiful statues or scarf rack.

Although in a similar price bracket to some of it's competitors like Diva and Accessorize etc. I think the quality of Colette's products is a little better and their appearance a bit more classy. Colette Accessories often has great sales on their brand new items as well as their last season stock. Sales like buy 2 get the 3rd free, or 3 for $20 are just some of the ways the products are marketed. I find Colette's a great option not only for jewellery for myself but also great as gifts for my friends.

What a bloody great idea! I first stumbled across something pretty similar to this down Prahran way…read morea few years back and was enamoured with the concept. As it turns out, the Incube8r woman won some kind of business model award for this place because the concepts are so sound and the place just took off. It's the sort of thing you expect in Tokyo where space is at the biggest premium. But rather than people sleeping in drawers here, people show their art and craft wares in various sized boxes and booths. You get so much crammed in to the space that shopping becomes this little exploration mission and you can spend hours rifling through clever people's creations. The prices are reasonable also (for both goods and space), so it's a must-go for birthday/Christmas shopping if you're a bit in the dark for ideas. There are so many variants in terms of style and aesthetic here, you really can't go far wrong.

I like to support local jewelers and a get a really unique piece rather than mass-produced jewelery. And so I stopped at Incube8r Gallery because I knew that they specialize in the work of local jewelers, designers and crafts people. Incube8r Gallery is meant to be a bit of a business incubator for local designers, hence the name of the gallery. There are all these little cabinets and other display areas where each designer features their work and I'm looking at each of them trying to find something that would suit C's style. No, good but not C's style, oh! I like those cuff-links, not for C but for me. And it kept on happening, lots of good jewelery but nothing that was just right for C. and so many items that I really liked. I had to keep on reminding myself that I was shopping for C's birthday present and not for me. It was totally unexpected and in the end I couldn't resisted and bought myself a badge. It wasn't expensive so I can still afford to buy something C really nice for birthday.

About the size…read moreof a modest walk in wardrobe, Ruby Red Dress sells a selection of mostly seventies and eighties garb that, stylistically, falls about midway between glam and rock. Being a fan of earlier vintage, I've not yet bought anything from Ruby Red Dress, but if your style is more colourful eighties sundresses and stonewash denim separates than gamine guipure shifts and little lace bed jackets, you'll love Ruby Red Dress. I popped in yesterday for a browse and spotted a few gems such as a brightly coloured Mexican embroidered smock dress and vintage fur jackets galore, and the sales girl could not have been sweeter. Ruby Red Dress deserves its reputation as one of Fitzroy's best - and cutest - vintage boutiques.

It's a small space and yet there is a great array of clothes and accessories crammed on to hangers, on mannequins or on top of surfaces. I like visiting Ruby Red Dress because it has a nice cheerful atmosphere and the clothes are interesting. The other day when I stopped by I noticed that they had some cute crochet crop tops in for summer and a considerable collection of mini shorts. There are cute summer dresses in cotton with floral and vibrant patterns, boots, and bright wedges. I've noticed that they usually seem to have a pretty good range of cowboy boots during the colder months too. The service is friendly and cheerful and the sales assistants do a really good job at helping you work your way through the clothes and making suggestions about matching accessories.
