This cotton on is HUGE…read more My jaw dropped when I first saw it and it hit the floor when I walked in. you may not be aware but Rubi Shoes is a division of cotton on, so one section of this store is dedicated to shoes. Another section is dedicated to accessories and there are wall to wall clothes catering to guys, gals and kids for your browsing pleasure. If I'm in shopping mode, I can spend a good hour in here, happily sifting through shoes and pretty dresses while contemplating if buying another pair of wedge heels really is a bit obnoxious. The guys section is nearly as big as the girls, so your partner doesn't have to stand there awkwardly while you revel in the good feeling that is accessories, and he wont come back for a while (hopefully). I guarantee you wont leave here without a new something or other, so if you are trying to curb your spending, don't even walk past because the colourful television set display is the first thing you wont say no to.

Make sure you keep any children on a tight leash in here otherwise you may never find them again…read more My daughter and I popped in for a quick browse and ended up sucked into this time warp, only to come out one hour later. Like Elissa says this store is massive and has everything from your usual fashion items to shoes, pyjamas underwear and even swimwear and caters for the whole family. It is a great place to shop for you basic items like singlets and shorts. Most of the cotton dresses are very prone to creasing so you are better off buying something with a bit of lycra in it. If you are buying dresses I suggest the more T shirt style that you can just throw over a pair of bathers in summer. Their pyjamas are really good and the quality is there. We came away with some great summer pyjamas and a cute swing singlet. Considering the store is huge and the range is definitely on the cheaper side, they have done a really good fit out that doesn't feel cheap unlike some of the other competitors in the market.

Right Hand Distribution (or RHD for short) is the place to go if you're serious about denim. This…read moreboutique shop has one of the most comprehensive collections of jeans I've ever seen, and their range includes items from major denim manufacturers and boutique designers from abroad. In addition to the big names in Denim like Levis, Lee and Wrangler, RHD stocks a lot of Japanese denim brands like Edwin. They have a large selection of salvage denim in addition to standard woven jeans, and though pricey, the quality is immediately noticeable. There are a number of affordable tees, shirts and jackets, and all are very stylish and cutting edge. RHD hasn't stopped at distribution. They've also recently started up their own clothing line called CXXVI with basic design tees, and I wish them success on this venture.

I have a friend who likes this store, and he always dresses really well. I don't think I know of…read moreany other place (and I didn't even know of this place until recently) that sells some of these Japanese denims. After googling the store, I found many, many blog articles raving about it, stating it's "the only place to buy real denim in Aus", which I think is a pretty great review in itself! So if you're someone who likes some really good quality denim, and has the cash to buy it, then I would really recommend having a look through here. The staff are also super nice and keen to help out.

General Pants is where I generally start off my shopping adventures within the city. They stock a…read moregreat range of "hipster" clothing. Yes I went there, and I said it. All the things we stereotype about hipsters' fashion sense, they stock. But I suppose, stereotypically, they are a fashionable bunch. The store is split between two storeys. Women's on the ground floor, men's upstairs. Now as far as I'm aware, I am a male, so I have not seen too much of the bottom floor. A mysterious and eerie place it is. I often head right upstairs to the men's area. At the back of the top floor is the shoes and gifts section. They have some pretty interesting gift items. Novelties and books that I have not seen elsewhere in Adelaide. I could quite easily walk into this store and spend thousands, unfortunately at this stage in my life I doubt I'll have that much in excess funds.

Yes, yes, yes it's a hipster clothing store. But whatever, it stocks some nice clothing and in…read moreAustralia you gotta just run with that (Madewell, j crew and just like everyone else - please head the globalisation call k thanks). I just really like the sales assistants; sometimes I admit I don't want help and for them to just go away. But when you do need help they are just super helpful! and so friendly - so mega props. Plus I bought the FLUFFIEST jumper from there, it's like wearing a kitten. But, like, a kitten didn't die. So all good.

I find it very hard to walk past this Temt outlet, it has every item of clothing I could want or…read moreneed and at reasonable prices. I know that if you've only been into the Temt in The Myer Centre you're probably shuddering inside, but don't write this outlet off, its pretty good. There are always sales going on which of course is a big hit with any girl, you can spend $100 and come out with 5 items of clothing, I think that's pretty good. The store is aesthetically pleasing too also I got a pair of sunglasses for $5, I loved them dearly until I sat on them. You can get cheaper office clothing here too if you're on a budget, shirts and that kind of thing.

The store is large and very roomy to get through. It can seem a bit messy sometimes, but then again most stores like this tend to be that way no matter how clean they make them. You can't blame the store, it's usually the lazy customers. The staff are hospitable enough, and always work with a smile on their face.

The shoes are always unnecessarily over the top, the jumpers or jackets covered in more vinyl and synthetics than you can poke a burning stick at. Tackitty tack tack. I've been in many times, no staff member has ever acknowledged me let alone spoken to me and queried if I needed assistance. They must have decent stuff their sometimes, I see my friends sporting them all the time. I don't quite know what's going on. There's definitely no where else called LAX. Maybe you should head in there and see if you can find good things. Fashion is generally subjective, don't simply trust my judgement.

I used to wander past this store - located near the David Jones Food Court - never really tempted…read moreto go in, until I spied an Ellery piece on the rack. The surprise of seeing one of Australia's biggest young designers inside drew me inside. I had actually assumed from the outside that LAX was more a street fashion/ men's store, with all the sneakers on display, and the name 'LAX' as well. But glancing through the racks I was pleasantly surprised by the selection: lots of big name and hard-to-find-in-Adelaide designers like Antipodium, Jesse Hill, Josh Goot and the like, as well as bits from cheaper fashion labels like Minkpink. Yet, despite having some amazing labels on offer, something has stopped me from really liking and frequenting this store. It could be that the selection isn't huge, or the general food court ambiance, or the uninviting decor. Or it could be their edit of the labels just isn't really my style - it feels street/ surf/ skate even though it has a lot of higher end pieces, I can't put my finger on it.

This Tarocash store has some awesome staff members. They're always having a blast in store and they just seem really cool. Yes, I said they seem cool. It's a decent sized store, so there's plenty of stock, old and new with affordable prices. Something for all men. I'm personally a fan of men dressing in these kind of of clothes, so I'm all for you blokes shopping here. Please do it more often.

Ok. Yes it is Supre, but is the cheapest basics you will find in Adelaide. Supre itself is quite…read morecheap, but the clearance store is dirt cheap. Think nothing over $15. I have come in and bought numerous singlets, t-shirts and dresses and still gotten change from a 20. Yes a lot of the clothes are quite tacky. Think ripped leggings and tops that barely cover... anything. But if you chose wisely, you can find some good buys. Once I went in there ridiculously poor, hoping I could find some type of outfit for a night out. I found a cropped sequinned top that I seem to get compliments on all the time (just don't tell them it is from Supre). Conveniently located next door is the shoe shed. Selling bargain shoes. Yes you can buy your entire outfit with $50, in 20 metres.

Supre, forever squishing as much stock into confined spaces. I won't often enter a Supre store,…read moremostly because it's too cramped and I get flustered, but also because of Supre shame. As some of the other girls have noted, Supre is not a brand to flaunt. Yet I couldn't help myself checking this store out. Outlet gets me every time. Unfortunately it seems they don't stock clothing for girls with a big bust, so not many tops and dresses agreed with my boobs. When you see outlet you think extremely cheap out of season stock, but be prepared because, as most sneaky advertising goes these days, it's not all outlet stock. There's a huge lump of new season stock at regular Supre pricing, which is ridiculous for the quality you are getting. There are a few $2, $5, $10 like racks stuffed with real reject stuff, but you really have to sift through to find anything half decent. I still grabbed a few bargains, mostly for clothing alteration projects.
