The holy grail of Australian clothing brands if you ask me. Zimmerman's clothing is romantic and…read morewhimsical and very hard on the wallet. When I found out there was an outlet in Sydney, I knew I had to go. Located in Rosebery, the area is what I would describe as industrial chic. Parking in the area seemed limited so I would recommend Uber or public transportation. The bottom floor is swim & resort while the 2nd level is ready to wear. I was impressed by the selection. They had a ton of different past styles. Mostly solid pieces and not a ton of print left but nevertheless an impressive selection. My only gripe was they had a lot of size 3. I needed a smaller size and although it's discounted, the price is still a decent amount to buy clothes that are too big just because you love it. If you're visiting and are a fan of the line, I would definitely recommend you check it out!

I always expect Vinnies in Newtown to be already pillaged by the hordes of op-shoppers that come…read moreespecially to Newtown for the shabby chic. But I am always surprised, because there is always loads of cool stuff in there, if you have the capacity and heart to sift through. It's open relatively late so if you have nothing to do after a dinner out and need some amusement, then go and find something shiny and spandex from another decade in Vinnies and get a giggle from your mates. I found an awesome beaded necklace here that people comment on... I don't tell them it was from Vinnies! Okay, actually I do after a while because I think it's pretty cool. When I'm in there I often think, okay, when I need a particular item of clothing for a particular one use occasion I am going to come here and find it for next to nix. Somehow I always forget though. Anyway, if you are on a budget, then get to vinnies to get some rad clothes and support a charity.

I normally don't leave reviews like this, but this really needed to be said. Monday afternoon, I…read morewas shopping with a friend since I was in serious need of some retail therapy. I love to thrift shop since I'm only a casual on a budget and there's some really good finds in the Vinnies that I've visited before. While that still stands true, the customer service was a mess. To put it bluntly, my friend and I were racially profiled. I was in line with my purchases when a girl at the counter looked at me up and down and rudely told me to go to the girl next to her instead. I didn't want to cause a scene, so I said nothing and moved along even though I was already insulted. And the thing is, it didn't end there. My friend is a little darker than me, and she was purchasing something to. We were both in the line at the other girl's aisle, and my friend was only looking at something on the display when the first girl had the audacity to accuse her of stealing something. When we were in line. With our money at hand. Really? The lady serving us apologised for her coworker and my friend overheard a conversation between her and the manager about how it was that girl's second day. Still, that was utterly unacceptable. Good products. But maybe Vinnies should screen their volunteers better.

Is there such a thing as too much choice? When it comes to donuts, no. When it comes to costumes, I…read moremean, I don't want to rule it out as an option but I almost got epilepsy in this place, which I guess is a good thing when you're looking for something to stand out at a costume party. This place has a metric ass-ton of costumes, it's hard to know where to start. Speaking of ass, I was half-assing my outfit for a party.... I just needed a mask. That's all, sadly. Which kind of sucked because from giant M&M outfits to period pieces, there's a lotta razzle dazzle in here, it's the sort of place you come when you want to one-up everyone at your ex-girlfriend's Halloween party and nothing less than the best will do. I actually wish I had that kind of party to go to because dreeeesss uuuuuppss! Ah well, Halloween is just around the corner.

Two levels crammed full of costumes from every possibly historical period, right through to Star Wars and Star Trek and you-name-it-they-got-it costumes. Friendly, attentive staff make the burden of choice easy as pie and their helpful knowledge is abundant and impressive. Great pricing and an excellent hire policy round out the the experience to make this a 5 star business in my view. Truly awesome.
