I have a confession to make. It's true, it's true... I have a clothing addiction! Yeah... so I have…read morea couple of cupboards full of all sorts. In fact, I can never get enough. Maybe it's a girl thing, but I find myself drawn to clothing. In particular the vintage kind. heeeellllloooooo swwwooppp! I was so excited to find swop! Love that I can swap my old for new. Woo hoo!! Just set off Hindley Street, you will find the store down some stairs. Lucky I saw the sign. This set up is a good size, split into two rooms. What is great about this store (wait for it boys...) is that you will find an almost equal amount of mens and womens clothing here. I was actually pretty surprised on the mens clothing selection. So awesome! As for pricing, not too bad actually. These are good quality brands. They do not accept any "fast fashion". So that means, no cotton on, valley girl or supre. Phew! This totally reflects on what you will find here. Winning! The staff here are really lovely as well. Not pushy or intrusive. They welcome you and are happy to answer questions. I love feeling comfortable to browse and not feel pressured into buying. Looking forward to bring my first batch of clothing here to see what it is like to swop or sell. YAYYYYYYY!!!

This vintage clothing store has apparently *just* opened on Grenfell Street. By "just" I mean that…read morethe morning I visited, they were still cleaning up the inside of the boutique from the launch party the night before. The space has A LOT of potential: spacious yet cosy, great window frontage, staircase and second level. Bazaar Vintage have decked the place out with some great elements: Turkish rugs, ornate '40s benches, vintage trinkets - but the rest is a bit of a mishmash: pin-up girls and pop-art Audrey Hepburn cushions and quirky fittings. It doesn't quite coalesce or advertise what the shop is all about. This vibe extends to the clothing too: from the exterior I guessed it would be more pin-up and '50s vintage - I was wrong. From midriff tanks and teensy cutoffs that'd look at home on an LA fashion blogger to Alexa Chung-esque peter pan collar dresses, it's a bit of a free for all. The sales girl told me the dresses - some of which are way cute - are re-worked vintage one-offs (it looked to be one size fits all). And while they were lovely, with a $200 price tag I would rather hit up Etsy for the same thing to be honest. I feel there's a lot of potential here, and the collection would definitely benefit from a good edit and a stronger identity (as well as more reasonable average price). Let's hope it's just the boutique finding its feet - good luck to them!

I'm in total agreement with Lana on this one: I didn't get what this shop was about either. The…read morefrontage looks very cool and I strolled in expecting to see some cute kitschy gear, but the space felt bare and unfinished and the stock was a bit of a miss match. The proprietor came in from her smoke break and didn't look happy to be interrupted. We got a brusque 'can I help you?' and my daughter got a 'don't you dare touch anything' stare, which frankly I did not enjoy. The vintage dresses and little tops were lovely and I would have been keen to get a better look at the jewellery if the owner wasn't waiting for us to get the heck out of there. I felt awkward and skipped on out.

The YWCA provide all sorts of support services for Adelaide women under thirty, and they are also responsible for administering the Big Brothers Big Sisters Program. Big Brothers Big Sisters is a hugely successful program whereby volunteers spend one on one time with a child to give them positive mentoring and a good role model. YWCA are also responsible for advocacy campaigns for women against violence and domestic abuse, as well as support for positive body image, women's clubs, professional mentoring for young women... and a lot more. If you want to volunteer you can pick up the phone and a lovely, supportive YWCA staff member will take you through the whole process and become a great friend and mentor to you in the process. If you get involved with this organisation you will meet some very inspirational people in the process. Ahmaazing.
