This Red Cross thrift store is a little different to other thrift stores. It seems that they must…read moreget a lot of donations from clothing stores. They offer a lot of brand new, never worn items. Some with tags still attached with original prices. However, the benefit is that you can purchase them at thrift store prices! Hooray! This is a great sized store, with a variety of items on offer. The clothing section is large and offers some really cool 80s-90s styled clothing when I looked there last. The back section has a great collection of ceramic home display pieces which is great if you are into eclectic styling. If you are after some jewellery, there is large collection of necklaces and bracelets in the front part of the store. Some of these items are new as well. They are all quite good quality and not just cheap looking pieces. I think my biggest tip is that this store is the one to go to if you are after shoes. I know not everyone is into wearing second hand shoes. But, they have a great selection of really cool funky vintage styled shoes. I have also found a number of "I love billy" shoes here as well. Just in case you do want to buy some vintage shoes and want to give them a good clean, here is what I do: Step 1: Place bicarb soda in the shoes and leave them overnight. Step 2: Vacuum the bicarb out. Step 3: Get a damp cloth and dettol and wipe them out inside. Voila, good as new! Last thing to mention, the staff in this store are really lovely and very helpful. It is probably a wonderful feeling volunteering in support for such an amazing cause. So do what I do, support the cause by shopping in thrift stores and love the environment by recycling!

The store stocks some of the leading brands in the youth market like Mink Pink, Cooper St, Ladakh, indyC, Mavi Jeans and Evil Twin plus a lot more. The boutique generally stocks clothes of the dressy-casual to formal wear during winter and gets some more casual wear stock in summer and has sizes from 6 to 14. My general complaint with this store is that I don't often find clothing that I like, let alone wear, but I think that just reflects my own sense of style, as for a small sized shop, the store has a great selection. The boutique has carved itself a perfect little niche in the market and has a dedicated clientele who always drop in to check on what's new in-stock and the store updates it's Facebook page almost religiously. Staff are friendly and helpful and always offer to order in clothes if you've missed a favourite piece or need another size. Their accessories are also fab, great to pick up some cute jewellery or clutches when you're passing by. My Girl Lollipop also has a great website if you're keen on some internet shopping.

The…read moreshop is located between the Commonwealth Bank and Snazzi Boutique just at the pedestrian traffic lights on Main Road. I occasionally have a look to see what's on special as there usually is something and their workmanship is excellent. So many unique pieces and the prices are not over the top either, I had a only the other day and on display were sterling silver pendants with $50 off the marked price, the cheapest was down to $80 which is pretty good for non mass produced, handmade jewellery. Whilst there I discovered they also do watch repairs on the premises which is great as I need to take in a automatic watch for repair. I've been waiting a while to find somewhere as I don't trust this sentimental piece to just anywhere as most will send it off elsewhere to be repaired. So all in all they're no ordinary jewellery shop and well worth the money.
