Rockabilly favourite Dangerfield has opened a store in Bondi Junction Mall, oh happy day! There has…read morebeen a Dangerfield in Westfield forever, it may in fact still be there- but the shop in the mall is a fantasy land and besides gorgeous polkadot and floral dresses and an ample men's section, has the best home accessories section I've seen this brand put out to date. Rubix cube cushion seats put fluffy dice to shame! I'm hoping this shop keeps up with the Bondi Junction tradition of "permanent sales", as I found myself purchasing a gorgeous silk dress reduced from $88 to $60, and with another 20% off- bringing me new frockage for a grand total of $48. Oh here's a secret for the girls: Dangerfield has the most awesome knickers ever. Love!

I was walking past Boston in Randwick and in the window I saw the bag I had to have, I know I sound…read morelike such a girl, but I really did need one. It was a crease textured grey satchel, very stylish. Boston offers an eclectic mix of men's casual and formal wear ranging including suits, ties cufflinks, leather shoes to Sneakers, T shirts and Jeans. I really liked some of the t shirts particularly the Botteva (a brand with which I am unfamiliar) shirt in the window featuring a dark reddish apple and the work "temptation", but unfortunately $69 is more than I wanted to spend on a shirt today. The shop has an interesting set up too, rather than having the typical cash register counter, they have an Italian leather lounge at the entrance of the shop with a computer sitting on leather- lined chest. I probably shouldn't have bought the bag, but I like it.

My husband (a thongs and board shorts guy) was very trepidatious about the whole suit thing for our…read moredaughter's wedding. Absolutely needless worry as, once we entered Man About Town Suit hire, David had him fitted, styled and all was simply 'tickety-boo'. David worked like a magician as he fitted, stylised and adjusted. The first thing we said as we left the shop was 'Wow; that was so easy' and that is why I am giving Man About Suit Hire five stars - the experience was painless and seamless. David was also generous and warm.

My dad and I are in Sydney for NYE and somehow managed to leave our suits in Uluru. A quick Google…read moresearch led us to Albert at Man About Town and we could not have been more lucky. Albert got us all measured up and when he realized that my dad's pants would need hemming he hemmed them right there in front of us- for a RENTAL! Not only did he hem them immediately, he also ironed the entire tux. As if this was not already amazing customer service, he also picks up your rental from your hotel's concierge if your flight schedule is chaotic- for no extra charge! And wait, there is more. We were expecting to pay for a multi day rental as we picked up today (12/28) and need it for NYE. Nope. Just the flat fee for the tux. The price came out to be roughly $125 USD/person. This is comparable, if not cheaper, to what I would pay to rent a tux in D.C. for a wedding. The icing on the cake is that these tuxes are arguably better made than anything I have ever rented as a groomsmen. 10/10 would recommend Albert!

One of the better lighting shops in Sydney I dare say. Pearl Lighting stocks an array of unique,…read morequirky and beautiful lights at stunningly reasonable prices. My family has been shopping here for years and we've collected a fantastic display of talking point lights and lamps. I recently went into Pearl Lighting to pick up a gift and I couldn't resist a beautiful bankers lamp which was on sale for $77. As for what I was after, well the glass rose shaped lamp shade was on sale for, wait for it, $5. Amazing! These guys also stock interesting knick knacks like reproduced world globes. I've been looking for a world globe for ages and I finally found it. Sure it isn't vintage but it looks it. Guess how much? $60. So great. Highly, highly recommended.

The fabrics they use are sublime and will last for years, giving you the option of incorporating the items with your existing wardrobe. In 2007 they started their swimwear line which are cute, sexy and flattering. The material they use is so upscale and delicate. Please hand wash, just to keep the quality. Supreme clothes. They are definitely on a world wide trajectory.

The style is chic, modern and feminine. Without fail I fall in love with something here every season. Just yesterday a one shoulder ash color dress caught my eye - I stopped in to check the price. $440. Sadly I think my relationship with Camilla and Marc won't be consummated but a girl can dream!

Having lived in Norway, I'm a huge fan of Helly Hansen. The iconic Scandinavian brand is Norwegian,…read moreand represents all the ideals that the Norsk people seem to like - high quality and expensive brand-name clothes. The only Australian outlet is found in Chatswood Chase, the closest thing that the North Shore has to high-end shopping. It's a well designed and stocked store, with all the latest outdoor gear direct from the very north of the planet. The stock is from the Northern Hemisphere's previous season, but you will still very much look the part on the slopes or in the lodge. It's very cool gear, but also incredibly practical - all the pockets and zips you could want are there. Helly Hansen really does produce the top of the range gear, both for Australia and internationally. However, this does come with a hefty price tag - even for a Norwegian brand! Start saving, because it's well worth it if you're ever in a extreme temperature.

There is a distinctly Asian influence here with artifacts from China, Tibet, India and Burma (with some pieces from Africa). You can find antique Buddhas, bells and gongs and Chinese screens in here mixed with contemporary outdoor furniture and jewelry and gifts.
