Aldo makes my feet happy. Simply put, I love their shoes, and that's really all there is to it…read more They are, however, more expensive than I would like (as are most things in the world), so it's a treat I give myself now and again when I'm feeling frivolous. They sell all kinds of shoes, but primarily heels and boots. You'll find the odd pair of sandals, or wedges, but heels are where Aldo excels. So head in if you're looking for shoes to go with your new dress, and feel like having a bit of a splurge!

Head to toe fashion and accessories are stocked here - you can get anything from sunnies to shoes. Labels fall in and out of favour with Tuchuzy but featured lately is the likes of Bassick, Ellery, Friend of Mine and cult shirt label Equipment. Price wise you'd be surprised that there are some reasonable rates here - last summer I picked up a 'by johnny' skirt for $110. Overall a must visit if you're meandering up Gould Street.

"Op Shop" is Aussie for Thrift Store (it's short for opportunity shop if you were wondering). And…read morealthough the St Vincent De Paul Op Shop- henceforth to be known as Vinnies- on Hall St Bondi is not as thrifty as some it has plenty of opportunity to pick up some designer threads and wicked CDs. (I know, I'm sorry, that was a total Dad joke). You never know what you'll find at Op Shops of course and that's a big part of the fun, but there are certain locations that the elves that do the sorting send all the good stuff to (well that's my theory and I'm sticking to it!) and Hall St Vinnies is definitely one of them. They know their labels so you won't find a Dior scarf in the $2 bin. But you will have found a Dior scarf at an Op Shop for 20 bucks and all proceeds go to charity, so you still win! Having said that, I once found a pair of genuine Gucci shades there for $10 so you never know your luck. It's not all designer stuff though, they have the usual array of retro, average, hideous or trendy clothes mostly around the $7 - $12 mark and a decent collection of cool men's t-shirts. Hall St Vinnies also seems to have an unending supply of fantastic CDs and decent books, maybe due to the amount of backpackers that spend enough time in the area to build up a collection and then have to offload it all when they're heading home? I don't question, I just appreciate.

Great finds for a good cause. Reduce, reuse, recycle & look fabulous doing it!…read more Clothes assorted by color and type of garment. Very nice shoe selection and lots of baubles to tempt your inner magpie. Also a high end section if you're a label whore. Good stuff! Relatively high quality items and when I was there a dreamy French chanteuse on the speakers, and lively friendly ambiance made for a great overall experience.

This dancewear chain has a small store on Bronte road in Bondi. They've got a good range of tights,…read moreleotards and other dance clothing for girls and women as well as a small but reasonable selection of tap shoes, ballet flats and points, and ballroom shoes too. As far as mens dance wear products go, there isn't a whole lot here, as is the case in most retail dance stores. The store had two different ballroom shoes for men and a pair of taps and some tights that didn't seem to be on display. Still the sales assistants here were very helpful and friendly and I'm just glad to see a dance wear shop still in business.

This store offers everything you need to get on the floor and express yourself. Whether it's ballet, jazz, modern or funk you'll find the shoes, leggings, lycra or headgear you need to stretch, pirouette, point and bend.

I really do like this store, i only wish i had continued ballet post the age of 7...
