I think I was just as taken with the lovely Director of the store (Nicole Byrne) as I was with the…read moreclothes, to be honest. When you come across shop staff who are friendly but not pushy, you tend to remember them. And be grateful. Sure, there were lots of lovely maxi dresses (her window display featuring some really striking, stripey maxis was what caught my attention in the first place), and the shop stocks labels like Talulah, MinkPink, Miss Cherry etc. Think dresses perfect for a Brisbane lass wanting to look cool and stay fresh in the debilitating humidity. (Basically - light, floaty and not at all restrictive). But what I thought was a really lovely touch were the cellophane-wrapped, home made shortbread biscuits Nicole gave me, which she told me were little pre-Xmas gifts she was giving out to customers. And I didn't even buy anything! Also look out for the jewellery she imports from New York - by a label called Kenneth. It apparently sells out the minute it comes in (I tried on a really amazing gold chain choker - kinda urban, kinda rock-chick and like nothing I'd seen during any of my shopping explorations).

What an experience I had shopping for jeans the other day! I've never been to Jeanswest that I can…read morerecall which made this a pleasant surprise. The staff members are all young at heart, fun and they make it their mission to solve your problem of not getting something that fits. In other shops I would walk out if they don't have my size, but here there was enough knowledgeable staff on the floor to attend to all the customers. I was helped by a lady recommending which cut would work well for me and another bringing more to try on, but only one pair didn't fit well. This turned out to be the shortest shopping expedition in history and in a few minutes, I got what I was hoping for: very comfy jeans that fits well too! On top of this, they had a special and I bought 4 pairs at an absolute steal! When making payment, a friendly lad told me about their guarantee, which is superb. I walked out of there and felt absolutely delighted! Yeah! Nobody will be able to keep me away from this shop now!

Untrustworthy and abusive customer service. I was refused an…read morein-store exchange for a dress with tags and receipt simply because it was bought online paid via PayPal even though it was bought a few days earlier. I was then forced to attempt an online exchange, where they tried to charge me an additional fee. After I complained, I was passed between multiple AI agents for weeks, repeatedly answering pointless questions, only to be told after 20 days that the issue would be escalated to a human. No human ever replied. By the time I opened a PayPal dispute, I was told it was too late to appeal due to the delays they caused. This feels deliberately obstructive and designed to make customers give up. I won't shop here again

I have tried 'contact us' through their online portal 8-10 times and keep getting fobbed off.

However, they have my money????? I actually thought Cue / Veronika Maine were reputable providers. Its theft and I'm on the brink of making a formal complaint to the Consumer ombudsman. This is incredibly frustrating and disappointing.

On Vulture Street just up from The Cupcake Parlour and before the strangely out of place Asian…read moregrocer sits 'The Happy Cabin'. Walking through the doors you're greeted by a carefully collected emporium of unique, kitsch and Etsy-esque wares. The stores motto says: "A haven for sexy lumberjacks, dorky girls and lovers of worldly design and trinketry." Couldn't have said it better myself. There's the mint green brogues, the gold boots, Field Notes pencils and notebooks and a geometric print onesie that I imagine is only able to be worn by a Ginger bearded man with a fox hat on his head. As I'm distracted by the wonderful eye candy within this absolutely happy cabin I chatter with the owner's partner, Jaime and this is all part of the experience. It is so inviting and homely, as a cabin might be, and I want to pull up a chair, grab a coffee and continue nattering away. Truth be told, the space would be rather fitting for a in-store cafe and maybe even a roasty faux fire to give a true cabin feel. And points to the owners for creating a store where you walk out feeling happy, creative, embracing your dorkiness and plotting how you might acquire a few more things from their range. Joining venues like The End, I think The Happy Cabin will be one of the first in a line of new additions to West End that will only add to the revitalisation of this end of Vulture Street.

I was pleased to correctly identify the shoes and bags as coming from ex-Etsy store Golden Ponies, where everything is beautifully handmade in Mexico. The gent behind the counter informed me that almost everything in the Happy Cabin comes from Etsy sellers, so that's pretty great. Having such a small and hand-picked collection of wares, I'd love to see a couple of plus-size items on the racks too. There are only so many bags, shoes and notebooks I can pick up while glancing at the stacks of clothes racks I can't buy from. Speaking of notebooks, though... I'm a stationery addict, and I couldn't leave without letting myself buy the limited edition National Crop Edition of Field Notes memo books. It was nice to observe that there isn't a ridiculous retail markup on any of the items in store, either - stay off etsy and just visit the Happy Cabin, Brisbane.

Their "Cue in the City" branch I am not as much a big fan of (it's cheaper but also cheaper quality) so I prefer Cue itself. They do go through seasons of being awesome and then seasons of being crappy, but when they are on, they are on fire. And they do have sales pretty frequently, so keep your eyes open. I have purchased some truly beautiful items from here which have lasted for years so I definitely recommend. I have been in this particular store several times and the staff have always been great. Not too pushy but happy to give advice/options if asked. And willing to see if another store has the right size.

The store name is splashed across a banner above the doorway, with a pink and white background emphasising the painted giant, black stiletto heeled shoe adorning the sign. Out the front were a bargain 'bin' and a rack of sale items, almost all of which were high heels. Inside you'll find racks of shoes, again mainly high heels. I get the feeling the shop is owned and run by Carrie Bradshaw's cousin, who shares the passion for height boosting footwear but at more affordable prices. Most of the shoes I saw were office-type shoes with a twist, it's not a place I would go to find something to complement my latest Saturday night outfit.
