The name of this store really says it all. If you're heading for a nice evening out for dinner,…read morehave a wedding reception to attend or celebrating your best friend's 21st, then Something Nice is a good place to start. Like most boutique stores, it's the place to go if you really want that stand-out piece or don't want to be seen doubling up on an outfit for the evening. That being said, it really does pay to look good. Or should I say you do - and you will. The prices are quite expectantly high for a boutique store, but that's the trade-off you'll have to bargain with yourself. What I find about this little dress boutique store (on the off chance that I step inside) is that it's pretty much hit and miss with the service. For me it's reason enough not to head in if I don't feel welcome in a store. Pretty, glittery things don't always sell themselves. On occasion you'll get a small hello but that's pretty much it. I don't know, sometimes it could just be the Erin Brockovich vibe I'm imagining in my head, but I'd really like to Pretty Woman that store one day.

Good old fashion service to make the experience a whole lot more pleasurable. The only thing I can fault is that they only have the one store which is a hike from where I live but always worth the trip.

Tilkah is a store I first saw when I was scouring Chapel street in Melbourne for all the boutiques…read morethat everyone in Sydney raves about. Filled with gorgeous pieces of jewellery, hand bags and other accessories, Tilkah was the kind of store I could easily find myself in all the time. Unfortunately, a combination of my terrible memory and leaving Melbourne meant I forgot what the name of the store. I only recently discovered that they had a Tilkah store here in Sydney, and I recognised the name and from the style of the pieces they had available. They deal with soft leather, vintage style bags and a whole allotment of different jewellery. But warning, you pay a pretty penny for these pieces! Their shop in the Pitt street Westfield is set up exactly as it was in Melbourne. All their jewellery pieces are glittery in the bright lights of the store. I have my eye on one of their sling bags, made of their really soft leather. I just have to wait until the next time I'm allowed to treat myself.
