Whilst visiting Sandgate today, I dropped into this lovely Women's Boutique - Sweet Georgia…read moreBoutique. Greeted by Annalisse (the owner), I was blown away by the array of clothing available - very different to anywhere else I had been. I was very excited to learn that Annalisse has her own range (in addition to current stock) of clothing and can't wait to see the new collection. It's lovely to see someone get out there and live their dream. A lovely atmosphere surrounds you as you enter this store and you could while away your time just looking through the racks (rare to find this in most commercial stores these days). Annalisse and her partner Chris, certainly make everyone feel welcome. Well done!

Discovered this beautiful boutique and the wonderfully warm couple who own it. The quality and…read morestyle of the clothing was a real joy to see. It was like visiting sn Art Gallery of colours,styles and beauty. I felt welcome and not pushed to purchase.

Endeavour at Redcliffe is a second hand store that surprisingly has a great range of retro clothes,…read moreboth men and women that the hipsters haven't got to. I went in there looking for books (which they have plenty of) and found rack upon rack of clothes from the naughties and dating back from the late fifties. My suggestion, for those youngsters who love this old style of dress, is to get on your second hand, white walled, refurbished one gear pushbike and get on out to Redcliffe before those swine who own retro retailers get there and take all the good clothes, forcing you to pay three times the actual value. Ready, set, go. For real, like now dude.

Dear Cue, I love…read moreyou. If I had more money, I would spend 90% of it on you. Probably more. I constantly walk past you in agony knowing that I can't afford anything just yet, but one day it will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine. Why are your clothes so lovely? They never go out of style. I have had skirts and dresses passed down from grandmothers that have purchased them from Cue and they're still in fashion today. That's why everything is worth the money. Cue, you follow the latest trends but you make them so much better than everyone else that in 10 years from now I could still get away with wearing them and it would be socially acceptable. Your store is small and quaint. When you walk in you feel like you're in a movie scene, like Pretty Woman, except you're not judged on how you look. Your staff are so friendly that the last time I came in I bought a dress for my friends 21st and the lady behind the counter rang up each store to check different dresses and styles and then when we finally decided on one she even cut off the price tags! I'm not sure why anybody would choose not to shop here. That's why I'll always love you Cue. Sincerely, an admirer.

Sportsgirl used to be one of my go-to stores whenever I needed new accessories or clothes. I loved…read moreeverything they had to offer in store even though I could never afford it. To this day I still love the store but it still feels rather pricey. When they have their sales I love to take advantage and stock up on cheap jewellery and last seasons clothing items (did I just admit that I wear 'last seasons' clothing?). The jewellery, handbags and hair accessories are probably my favourite thing about Sportsgirl. The jewellery is funky and is usually reasonably priced. They have a pretty stellar collection of unique rings and other very colourful jewellery and accessories. I still love their clothes, especially since they tend to specialise in boho-chic these days which I adore, but it's unfortunately overpriced. As I previously mentioned, the sales are the best time to shop at Sportsgirl.
