There are a few places like this I've come across in Sunnybank. Little boutiques I discovered…read moreaccidentally, hidden among a crowd of less inviting shops, full of less interesting merchandise. Julia has done a great job with her collection; the store is a decent size and it's packed with loads of adorable dresses. Looking at the labels most of them are imported. The prices are average and while the quality of some of the garments strikes me as a little questionable (it's the vibe of the thing), it's a great store and one that I will certainly be returning to.

I found this shop last week and I am in love! I felt like a kid in a candy shop. There are so many…read morecolours, textures and sparkles. I have a fairly small build and it is surprisingly hard to find small sizes sometimes. The dresses here are in a range of sizes, down to size 6. They have dresses for formals, bridesmaids and brides plus a range of cocktail and more casual dresses. The style is fun evening wear and simple but classy formal wear. The quality of the clothes at first glance is really good. Upon closer inspection, the materials of some of them maybe isn't the highest but then again the prices are fantastic so why not get a couple? In summary, affordable, fashionable and gorgeous dresses.

It is a charming shop to browse through before or after brunch with the ladies. And sure enough, I often find groups of women chatting and buying up in this little shop. Why wouldn't they? They have gorgeous colourful tops and dresses, perfect for the Summer season. You won't find skimpy dresses for 18 year olds here. This store sells clothing that are fashionable and conservative. They carry rare labels as well as many Australia designer labels. Boo Radley, which is a fave of mine can be found here also! In addition to their lovely clothing options, they have a unique range of accessories. Many funky and vibrant and others rare and extremely unique. This store also sells wonderful things for the home such as beautiful pillows with made of handprinted fabric. This store is truly a delight for ladies who love a little light shopping in between coffees and chats in Graceville.

Okay, it's only my little local shopping centre, but I'm quite fond of old Fairfield Gardens. It's…read morevery small, as shopping centres go, but surprisingly useful and always seems to have what I need. In addition to the classic supermarket, pharmacy, bottle shop and cafés, there's important services like a post office, cheapie shop, doctor's surgery and a computer repair shop. But the things I REALLY love about this place are the things you don't find at every (especially small!) shopping centre: the library, op shop and fruit shop. I would like my local to be a little bigger - one glaring omission is a shoe repair place (I would patronage the heck out of that!) but it's pretty great and never crowded!

I love this place, it's fancy, pretty, clean and looks very couture. But when I browsed the clothing rack on the left and saw that a printed tee-shirt was $59 I started to do that awkward this store is a rip job thing with my face and body expression. Perfect for when the lady in the store approached me with a 'can I help you with anything?'. Priceless. So I browsed some more... they have nail polish, cute belts, hair clips, a whole bunch of accessories... on the other clothing rack there are cute little long tops or shirt dresses... either way with my first browse clocking up a $175 for a top, the rest was Yelping history. It's overpriced for Market Square... and I hope it does well... I just can't see myself buying anything there, plus they only have petite little size 6-10 outfits... so no go for me.

Surprise aside, this shop is pretty cute. They sell casual tees, brightly coloured dressy tops, cute denim and satin dresses and a variety of shoes. Ok, so the sizes are suited to the smaller frame, but are still worth having a browse through. Plus the shop itself is beautifully spaced out, so you don't find yourself jammed in next to fellow shoppers.

First of all the place is very spacious and doesn't feel cramped or that everything is on top of everything else like so many of these opportunity spots.

You could easily fit out your whole kitchen for a very reasnable sum if you were a student setting up house.
