Finkl is such a fun place to shop. Their range of clothes, bags, accessories and makeup always make…read moreme feel like a teenager again, but I love it. Some of the clothes are way too ridiculous for me, but their range of bags is heaven. Most of the bags are priced at about $60, so they're pretty cheap. I love the large linen and 'leather' bags. There is also an awesome array of hats, especially during Winter. They have every type of beanie and hat you could ever imagine. It's fun to try them on, and decide if you're brave enough to actually wear it outside of the shop. I've actually bought a few beanie's like that, and unless I'm lounging around at home where no-one can see me, I wont wear them. But that's just my poor judgment and lack of fashion sense. Finkl really does have some great items, so if you're ever in Burwood have a little peek in Finkl, you'll likely find something you love.

In the office where I work the dress code is smart casual (but no jeans). Initially, I didn't…read morereally know what this entailed exactly, but I have come to learn that whatever it means, Forcast is the place to get it. They have the smart-casual outfits of your dreams. Reasonably cheap, simple designs litter the store, as well as failsafe basics like cardigans and tee-shirts. With a combination of bright designs, and more demure options, there is something for everybody, and every occasion. I recently purchased the Dandellion Dress, a black and white, polka dot number. At only $59.95, it is now one of my office favourites. The store is usually tidy, and from what I have experienced, the service is friendly and very helpful. Conveniently located at the bus-stop and opposite Burwood Westfield, Forcast is a great place to pick up a few basics

Having shopped here regularly I was appalled at the service here when shopping with my elderly…read moremother. The staff were rude, too busy having conversations with each other and their friend in the store, to assist either myself or my mother. When I finally got a pair of shoes and proceeded to the counter to purchase, the staff said they had been marked wrongly and and were not on sale, in spite of the fact they were marked down on the box, and available for sale online. After being a customer for many years I will take my business out of the brand. The women in the Burwood shop were rude, unprofessional and disrespectful to my very elderly mother.

This is a great shopping centre. It is right beside the train station, buses frequently pass by and…read morethere is always a car spot in the car park. The biggest attraction to this centre is IKEA. It is open long hours and there is designated parking areas for picking up that large box, which later will lovingly be put together! Ha There are a range of good restaurants at the centre and Reading Theatre. Be careful that you drive in only once to the car park. You can't re enter during the same day, this is to prevent people driving in and driving out within 3 hours and hope to get another 3 free hours of parking. The number plates are photographed. I have seen people argue at the gate while the traffic is building up... not a pretty site.
