This has always been one of the go-to's in the back of my head. It stocks an evenly split…read morecombination of things I think are awesome and things I think are rather hideous. The hideous things include dresses forty-year-olds would wear, un necessary frills and excessive netting or bows. The awesome things are affordable and cool dresses and funky tops. I once bought a dress to wear to a wedding from here. It was the perfect dress for the occasion... dressy but not OTT. There are actually full on ball dress type things down the back but I never really venture into that lot. I start on the sales racks to find the $15 bargains and then I make my way around the perimeter. Some of the stuff is really cheap and some of it is slightly more expensive but totally worth it for the items you'd be getting. I think it's refreshing shopping here and checking out the different and unique items that aren't mass produced and pawned off to shops like glassons. It may not be designer or high end or fancy labels but it's got some cool stuff that's for sure!

I may be bias because I am from the shore but this is hands down the coolest department store I…read morehave ever been to! Home to Stephen Marr, Lucy and the Powder Room, Karen Walker, Black Box, TopShop as well as a myriad of rotating NZ designers, this place is nothing short of brilliant. Expensive, but brilliant nonetheless. On my last visit I was delighted to see they now also have a wonderful range of quirky terraniums and indoor plants. Definitely well worth checking out if you are looking to add some greenery to your office or home!

Yes, Paradise has the meaning of 'Garden'. Top Quality coffee, good cheese scone, caramel chocolate slice. Menu is not too complicated, ease for mind when you just into the sunny mood and some inner peace. Or you can choose just grab a coffee and have a stroll in the department store, finely selected fashion there waiting for the right person. Choose a beautiful day, and amaze yourself here. There is nothing more beautiful with a nice coffee I the warm sun.

Obviously I had high expectations from the start, what with the exceptional name and all. I thought…read moreit was such a cool shop. Glenfield is kind of filled with these little boutiquey stores and I seem to stumble across something awesome in every one. Here I found three dresses I wanted to try on. It was really interesting to find they only stocked one of each dress in only one size. This is great because you know you're highly unlikely to find someone else in your outfit but it can be a bit of a pain if you find something gorgeous and it doesn't fit. This happened to me. I tried to justify it to myself with some "ah it's not that short" and "I'll wear granny undies and won't bend over" but the reality was I looked like a bit of a sluzz. So I put that one back on the rack. One of the dresses did, however, fit like a glove. It was really funky and totally different and I loved it. For only $38 I had to have it. I've also got to say the dressing rooms were super - nice and big - and the mirror outside was huge and extremely flattering. I'm not sure if other people are like me and believe there are fat mirrors and skinny mirrors...but this was a seriously great mirror. Guaranteed to make me buy that dress! So stoked I stumbled across Amy's, I'll be back again soon.

There are some really gorgeous dresses hung up on the walls that look like they would be totally flattering on. They're filled with sequins and different cuts and neck lines and backs. And for pretty fancy dresses they come with a totally legit price tag. I don't think anything is over priced and that's saying something coming from me because I can be super stingy! There are other things here too, besides dresses. I once tried on an awesome casual khaki outfit, which I became obsessed with. I was having a debate with myself in the dressing room because it was so cool but just didn't fit my body shape properly. Very sad. But yes... casual tops and jeans and shoes and essentials like slips and leggings. It's all here. And they have some crazy good sales racks too!

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS STORE OR SYLVIA PARK STORE.

Bough 2 dresses at the Sylvia Park store and asked if I could return the one dress if it did not fit my bridesmaid. The Staff agreed that it should not be a problem as long as I have the receipt. Well, when I tried returning it, they refused and said that was never the case. Dishonest staff that will do anything for a sale!!!
