I was pleasantly surprised to find beautiful vintage dresses for forty bucks, Mink Pink shorts for twenty five, and some fantastic statement jewellery that was also well priced. When I picked up a long pair of shorts with blue paw prints all over them, I knew they were hipster pants and I had no business wearing them. But I had to try them on anyway. The lovely proprietor insisted very kindly that no, I was not too old to pull off these crazy bloomer shorts. I didn't end up buying them because I imagined the expression on my boyfriend's face if he saw them and I just don't think his heart could take it. I will definitely return to Azalia, the manager was lovely to talk to and has a passion for affordable vintage fashion, as well as a real love of Queen Street, the 'almost secret but not for much longer' up and coming area of Adelaide.

Witchery at The Metro Shopping Centre is close by for me and I'm a frequent visitor - too frequent in fact. This is actually quite a small store and on occasion I have been disappointed that something I've seen in one of the larger stores isn't available here but I do like the service on offer as the staff are always friendly and very helpful. Being a small store I'm not too happy about the fact that much of the shop space has been overtaken by their range of Witchery Kids clothing. Leave more room for the big girl clothes I say! While I'm sure there are plenty of mums who love to dress their kids as mini versions of themselves, I'm not one of them and am a firm believer that kids should be dressed in play clothes that are sturdier and harder wearing, not in high priced fashion togs so they have to sit and behave like mini adults. Nevertheless I'm told the Witchery Kids fashion range is going great guns and the stock is walking out the door. I'm just glad this particular store doesn't stock the recently released Witchery Man as well - I don't want to have to compete with them too for space in the shop. It sounds like I may have written a negative review here but that's not the intention. Witchery at The Metro is actually one of my favourite fashion stores. Love the clothes, love the markdowns, love the staff.

I'm pretty sure that's the only way to describe it. This particular store isn't their best one, but it's still not too bad. The staff are always really nice here. Definitely worth having a look see. Also, if you like putting your kids in a fashionable little get up, then they have a lot of their kids fashion range here, and it's all very cute.

I hope he dies in his sleep and his whole family die in a house fire and go to hell for eternity!!!

Anyway, it is just basically another shopping centre, though I have to admit that adding a cinema is certainly a nice touch, even though they haven't actually added an outdoor area yet, which is a bit of a shame, though I suspect that this will be coming sooner or later. Like a lot of these large shopping centres, they pretty much have all of the stock standard stores here, whether they be big or small, and of course there is also the food court, which not surprisingly is right next to the cinema. I guess the thing that I don't like about the place is that it really isn't all that accessible by public transport (or at least decent public transport.

I probably shouldn't be telling you about it because I want to keep it all to myself. For those who love rummaging for one off pieces no one else will be wearing (read: me), it's a cosy downstairs oasis of awesomeness. Owned by a mother / daughter duo (naww!), it's a well-curated selection of labels that are otherwise hard to find in Adelaide: like fashionista faves Limedrop, Maise and MyPetSquare to name a few. They also stock suitably kitsch objects, a smattering of retro records as well as handmade and local goodies (think candles, jewellery, shoes...). They usually have pretty sweet tunes on in the store too (it's named after a Bob Dylan track, after all). And let's not forget the preloved treats too. The selection isn't huge, but it *is* often on sale, so you can nab yourself a pair of patterned pants for summer at a pretty reasonable price. Definitely worth checking out for when you want that one off addition to the wardrobe.

Clothes Line Saga oozes quirky personality along a very commercial street. Its charm starts at the…read morefront door, with the little signs that say "This is a nice shop." In terms of their clothes, I've never found anything that really caught me. Truth be told, I am much more an op-shopper and less a 'vintage store' shopper, as I invariably find that they clothing is over-priced. However, if you're really looking for retro, they have a great selection of true 70s and 80s fashion. If you want to get a sense of what is fashionably retro, you can get it here. Bold, horrendous floral prints, stretch materials, high waists and short short skirts there are plenty of. However, in terms of slightly more original oddities, they don't have a lot that really catches my interest. However, as a specialty store, they have their niche worked out and they do it well. Their clothing-filled basement has a fantastic atmosphere, and even if the clothes aren't your thing, it's always an interesting place to browse.

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.

Tucked in beside Foodland in the Norwood Mall, this newsagent looks super unassuming - but it's…read moreactually a pretty OK selection of mags for what is a relatively small space. While not as big as Dillon's Newsagent just across the mall (near Coles), they stock all the usual suspects. If you're after your Vogue or Elle or Frankie or other big titles you will find in on their shelves. I couldn't see many overseas titles. I've found the staff to be pretty chatty and kinda funny. Last time I went in to get Harper's (with the winner of ANTM on the cover) for a friend overseas, I ended up chatting to the guy about Australia's Next Top Model for ages...which I don't actually watch, but I winged it pretty well! Good for your basics!

Or maybe it's just really good marketing, people come out of food shopping with the kids and think "man, after that I reallllly need a beer" so they decide to take a short cut through the newsagency and along the way they decide "man, I really need a pen too". You never know. There are books available here too, last time I visited I spent a good 10 minutes leafing through a book about the life and designs of Coco Chanel, of course I didn't buy it because it was $50, besides, I'd already read it hadn't I? If I need a pen I just go in and use one and then leave, they should really monitor people like me! But, considering these guys don't, that makes them 3 stars in my book! There are little gifty things available too, take a squiz on your way through to the bottle shop.
