Fashionable, quality and adorable kids clothes at thrifty prices is always a great but difficult…read morefind for any mother. For the first time last week I managed to have enough time before grocery shopping to have a wander around Happy Angels, an eye catching store for littlies. Often I am let down on closer inspection of kids clothes at the quality or the expense. So I was rapt and my two children overly spoiled by my new found discovery. Offering the adorable collections you can find at outlets such as Pumpkin Patch but at half the price in some cases Happy Angels made my grocery day unusually worthwhile. Grabbing bargains such as a dark denim jean/white dress shirt/pinstripe vest combo for my one year old boy for just $30 and a beautiful floral springtime dress for my daughter for $20 made me one happy mummy (don't know about angel!) indeed. And there were no pushy sales staff trying to sell me 30cm of fabric for $99, trying to convince me it's such great value at the same time. I was able to look around myself, make my selections and then have a nice chat about what I'd decided on when finalising my purchases. Happy Angels = happy grocery days!

I'm assuming this Tightrope is a factory seconds store, because I don't believe that a women's…read morefashion chain could have so many tacky outlets and still be in business. In saying that, this outlet really is tacky and cheap. Possibly nothing in here over $20, with most things under $10. I'm generally a fan of cheap fashion outlets, I'm the queen of cheap! But even the essentials here are nasty, buttons don't line up, threads hanging everywhere. For $10 you can go to a trendy high street fashion store like Ice and grab a tee or singlet, meaning it's so not worth taking the time to trawl through the racks at Tightrope trying to find something wearable.
