Are you looking for a party dress, or killer pair of heals for a night out? The frocks and frills in here are certainly statement pieces. I wouldn't say their quality is super high, but at mid to low prices you can probably afford that "I will probably only wear this once" dress. You know, the leopard one with an exposed lattice back. The one that you doused in French martini and accidently lit on fire just a little bit (who knows, I'm speculating).

That's it's designed and planned and decorated to within an inch of its life and is chock full of hella cool shops and eateries and all the things that get your little urban commando hearts beating faster then your average hipster. Well head down the escalators, ya big ol' fashionista, because there's another surprise for ya: on the below-ground level and there you'll find a concept store called 100 Squared that gets a whole bunch of amazing, emerging local fashion designers and collects them all in one place for your shopping pleasure. It's like the king of all pop-ups, curated for style and quality. And the best bit? It's a place for the new generation of fashion talent, all these great up-and-comers, to show off their mad sick skillz. Love it.

I had the opportunity to get invited to a Yelp hosted party here, and came out of interested…read more 100 Squared is definitely a breath of fresh air for Westfield, which is a shopping mecca for all the common brands (Zara, Gucci, Gap, etc). Instead of focusing on brand names, this is basically a marketplace/bazaar for independent designers who want another channel to showcase their products. I'm not a fashion designer myself, but I'm also a designer - just from a more digital perspective. I can relate to the "not work for the man" part so I like this place a lot because it gives another outlet for independents or small businesses to hustle their wares. So 5 stars for this place because it supports small business / independents. Anyway, there are clothes (women's fashion), and jewelry. But beware that the clothing sizes are more designed for "hipster" sizes. (i.e. if you're beyond say a size 10 or Medium - result of having a vegan or soy milk diet, then theres probably nothing for you here other than jewelry). But then again, theres even less for guys unless you're into cross-dressing at hipster sizes. PS - 300th Review!!!

I crept in a little closer, taking in the distressed wood surfaces, the minimalist racks. Aah, staffer is on the phone in the next room. I might have a moment then. Oh my. Akira Isogawa designs and superlatives are hardly strangers, but to see them up close is quite the experience. Don't misunderstand me, I consider Fashion TV a form of penetential torture to be endured while getting my hair cut, I don't think I've ever bought a Vogue, and couldn't care diddly about what the latest skirt length is this season. But beauty earns its own respect. The lady even flashed me a smile as I inched my way into the far room, growing bolder by the moment, but she didn't get off the phone, which was a blessing. I got to run my (very clean, honestly) fingers over the silk, and imagine what these cloudlike suggestions of clothing must feel like to wear. Some were on sale, but no, there's no way I can afford them. But thanks for not running me out, scissors slashing and hurling pins at vital acupuncture points. I feel like this should be categorised as 'Art Gallery', for which I should have left a gold coin donation in gratitude as I slunk away, silkily serene.

The old hats, suitcase, ties and dresses are from a time long gone but have been preserved well so are still wearable. The store girl looks the part with her strawberry blond hair and red lipstick pout. Prices are OK except for the baby clothes. $70 for a little boys top is bit pricey for something that is second hand even if it is super cute. They also have costume jewellery some as old as a century old. Oh and I loved the swirling blue and green patterned carpet - this is not just an old clothes shop - it's a step back in time. For vintage lovers this store is a must see.

I found that the specialty in here was party dresses, namely those short strapless ones. There were variations of this model in every colour and fabric imaginable, I was impressed. There's also a whole load of casual gear, so if you're looking for just some laidback, cheap wear, this place is ideal. Of course, no big bargain store would be complete without the odd horror, but hey, who said you needed to get fancy dress outfits solely from fancy dress shops?!

Sprawling across two shops on Oxford St, you can find anything here from feathered crotchless panties and Australian flag bikinis to cheap and seriously nasty jewellery and sunglasses, to half-finished sample clothing for $10. In the manner of SES though you can always find something nice in the store for around ten bucks, and they have some great genuine-vinyl biker-style jackets for around the forty dollar mark. Don't be alarmed though, most of the stuff on the racks is nice- the horrors I mentioned above are the exception not the rule!

But truth be told, I'm 16 years past 10, and I still get pretty excited in here, too. I walked off the Dixon Street strip in Chinatown and into the Sussex center, not looking for anything in particular. To the left of the entrance, I found Momo. Each item inside has some sort of character (cat, elephant, dog) embroidered or patch worked in. If you're looking for a zipper pouch for coins or any electronic device, you can find something special in here. They have every shape and size in the book. And if you happen to be searching for that perfect pair of slippers that will make you smile every time you step out of bed in the morning, this little shop is definitely your place.

There are always some goodies hanging up in the windows, and inside you'll find some stylish dresses and cute work-appropriate tops. Check the sale racks in the centre of the store to pick up a few bargains. Prices are reasonable, so the credit card won't mind the occasional purchase. Not everything in the store is to my taste, but if you look hard enough you'll find some really great, unique pieces to add to your work wardrobe. There are also plenty of accessories like belts and bags at the back of the shop too.

Thankfully, things have quietened down, and these days you can (mostly) wander around the store without being cheek-by-jowl with other shoppers. But what of the stock? Well, it was never going to live up to the hype, nor its overseas siblings (as anyone who has visited one will assure you), but there's still plenty to like about our Zara. The range goes from classic to totally frivolous and moreover, it's seemingly fast-changing, which makes it worth popping in to see if anything takes your fancy. And now the insane crowds have abated, I'll definitely be stopping by to say Hola to Zara.

But don't let the fact that a model-turned-designer turn you away - it possibly would me if I hadn't seen the clothes in the flesh - there's been so many Kate Moss types doing their own thing and not necessarily with success. Little Joe started of with camisoles and slip dresses but now have a range that can fill a wardrobe with beautiful, slightly hippy and sexy original cut pieces. Expect to pay $300 for a dress, $110 for a singlet. Pieces are pretty with usually something unique about them - the cut, the material. The friendly blonde in the shop said Gail frequently visits her stores and is super lovely... which is nice to hear - who wants to buy a snooty so and so's clothes. A favourite piece is the laser cut suede and scalloped sleeves and hemline Loving Cup dress from the Love in Exile Summer 2011 Season for $549.
