Dsassi does not cater to my age group, but as I am a reviewer and was on this shopping strip I…read moredecided to duck in and check it out the other day. The clothing is appropriate for an older woman (maybe 30s) and it all seems to be stylish and casual. There are a lot of interesting shift dresses and shirts, and some basic tops and pants. The predominant colours seem to be black, white and red and the look I think that they are going for is chic and simple. The prices seem fairly reasonable too and I was happy to see that there is a generous section for sale items. There are changing rooms up the back and also some accessories including belts scattered around the store. The sales assistants were friendly and helpful but not too overbearing. As I was having a look around I noticed that they were really great at interacting with other customers and seemed to put all the shoppers at ease.

One of the things I love Glenroy for is the variety of small, fresh food grocers, deli's and butchers. And now I've discovered Touch of Asia Pacific. Palaté perfection!! From your typical Asian sauces, soy, oyster, sweet chilli, and so on, tradish Asian veggies like the beautiful wombok and bak choy, to every spice you can imagine possibly coming from this side of the world, including my fave, Cumin. Authentic spices for curries, pickles and chutneys favoured in Sri Lanka, dips like tzatziki and hommus, all the different sorts of rice on the planet and a deli of gourmet goods. Seriously good produce and if you follow a recipe, it's so easy to make a genuine Middle East/Asian fusion gourmet dinner right at home! Prices are on the high side, but for produce this good I'm prepared to pay. Important: Address is listed as Pascoe Vale rd, but entry is to the side, in the alley between the Salvo's and the Fish Box. Located next to the car park between these two stores.

Here you'll find: Freedom Furniture (massive must be full range store) the Good Guys (massive store), Nick Scali Furniture (massive), Spotlight (massive store with plenty of stock), Dan Murphys, Beacon Lighting, Adairs...you get the idea. Every store here is massive. Fashion wise, I reckon they do stock, apart from last seasons threads, current season too (hello Industrie?) which I suppose caters to all manner of taste and seasonal needs. Heck, grab some summer Quickie Rippie t- shirts in winter for summer and you're all set for what's coming next. The DFO complex is huge and there's two mid-sized food courts and a few cafes dotted throughout the place. This DFO has one main entrance and exit unlike the other DFOs which makes it less confusing to navigate a mammoth complex. Look at the map as you enter and then either go clockwise or anti-clockwise works both ways. Restrooms are in alleys between the shops just look above for the navigation signage. Plus points are tenants seem to be clustered together according to type of merchandise i.e. kitchenalia and dining are next to each other, homewares and decor, professional workwear labels are beside each other, streetwear and surf labels etc. Makes for good price checks and comparisons. Ample parking, and walking a little bit won't necessarily kill you. Just watch out for cars reversing in and out. That can get pretty hairy. Service is pretty good from almost all the shops i went into, considering its a bargain depot of sorts. Some of them were really helpful too. DFO is one of those places you can never leave without getting something anything.

There are heaps of shops here covering bedding, homewares, kids clothes and adult fashion.

The only downside is the one hour free street parking - never enough time!!

Shop 800 is a little less themed than some of the other vintage and mixed gift shops in the area,…read morebut it's got some good stuff. I spotted a pair of vintage binoculars and a compact that'd look smart in anyone's handbag. There're a few prints and other small works of artwork dotted throughout the shop and a lot of hand creams and other beauty products. There's only a small selection of clothes and last I went in there wasn't anything to get me too excited, but there're a lot of retro, fabric based toys and bits and bobs that are pretty cool. It's a good spot to look for presents or for those little touches around the home.

Melody Nelson is a great little nook of surprises, full of things you didn't realise you wanted…read moreuntil you saw that it existed. Full of little knick-knacks, thing-a-ma-bobs and trinkets, it's an especially good place to visit if you're gift shopping (particularly as it bills itself as a gift shop). The goods are sourced locally and from Europe, and range from leather gloves, dresses, fancy hats, scarves and cushions through to brightly coloured and chunky potato peelers, rainbow water glasses and cute little tea sets. It's the sort of shop where you go around making little noises of approval as you browse. It's not cheap, but also not all that expensive and the things are nice. It's always worthwhile to drop in if you're in the area.

Substantially smaller…read morethan both Hot Price and Enoch Gift and Homewares, it still covers the basics reasonably well. Looking for an umbrella as it starts to rain? They have it. How about a hula hoop? Yup. Pens, pencils and other stationary? Present and accounted for. Other random household goods and novelty items? It's all there. The prices are comparable to the other pound stores in the area, so if you're looking for something you'd go to Hot Price or Hot Potato for (because apparently cheap novelty goods are rather temperate) but are geographically located between them, then What a Bargain!! will probably oblige.
