However, their specialty is in selling mastectomy and prosthesis fitted bras. Prices are quite high; however the service you receive is far more helpful than in standard department stores.

I like op shops and I like to support Red Cross, so this store is a natural choice for me. It has…read morean eclectic mix of old and new, still tagged clothing, bric-a-brac and shoes, but no furniture. There's a good range of men's, women's and kids clothes and it's always worth a look. The prices have snuck up a wee bit in recent years, but whose haven't? The two best things I've bought here recently were a brand new one piece bandeau swimsuit for $5 and a little while ago, a 70's black suede leather fringed jacket for not too much more.

I emphasise the want, they don't really sell essentials such as nappies. There's so much stuff here; kids clothes and shoes, luggage tags, super cool lunchboxes, toys and plenty more. It's pretty expensive with some nappy bags costing upwards of $400, but hey, if that's what you're into.

Oh Bobble Art, Bobble Art, wherefore art thou Bobble Art?…read more At Cocoon Petite Living! Any mum whose gone into a fancy kids shop knows the brand Bobble Art. They do great lunchboxes, bags, bottles and various kids accessories. They have it. They also stock brands like Brio, Baby Bjorn, Anna and Sally, Cheeky Little Soles and Cocoon Couture. If you're a mother who knows these brands, you're a mother who knows the cost of buying awesome stuff for your kids. In dollars anyway. The prices at this place are slightly more than in the Early Childhood Development Centres, and your other kid shop, but they do stock far plenty. If you have the dough to burn and want some quality and nice looking maternity wear, this is the place to get it. This shop is definetely for those mums with the finer appreciation of all things kids, moreso with their wallets. But like anything, you do pay for quality. These things last a long time if you do.

I am a bit of a fan of the Shugah Boutiques. They are a little different, a little quirky and you…read morecan find some lovely unique pieces. There is certainly some clothes you would not find in your typical dress shop. I have been to both this Cannon Hill store and the one at Manly West. Both store's have a similar off beat style however the Cannon Hill one seems to be more glittery and more of a focus on evening wear, where as the Manly store has a slight emphasis on every day wear. I love browsing through the store are finding something different, not so different that you wouldn't wear it out, but subtle things like a unique cut or colour and fabric combination.

Shugah has some great gear but not a huge range of sizes or looks. When the shop first opened I was…read moreexcited because I thought it was a discount house for designer labels. It's not, but does have plently of designer brands at prices that are often out of my range. There are lots of gorgeous dresses for the young clubbers scene but don't expect much for anyone bigger than size 14.

I love the different textures and styles from flirty pink dresses to edgy black skirts. This weekend I am pondering a 1920's dress by The Dolls Boutique which I found while browsing their online store. The website is well worth a look.

I would strongly advise shopping in store rather then online. Their clothes rarely look the same as they appear on the internet and the quality is frequently far less then that of which it appears online. They do have some good items, but don't be deceived by their beautiful model who looks good in everything and professional photography - best to drop into the store and try it on for yourself.

This is my favourite op shop in Wynnum. In case you didn't know, Wynnum has a great op shop trail,…read morewith at least 8 shops in a four block radius. They vary in range and price of goods but I find the Aid for the Blind shop in Florence Street a really good all-rounder, with great prices. Some op shops have made themselves boutique-y and specialise in offering clothes you might find at a regular retailer (yawn) but not this one. I've dropped in here and never been disappointed when looking for a fancy dress or something vintage and unusual. There's a bit of dross to get through, which is part of the fun I guess, but it's well worth a visit.

I love going into the store but when I'm strapped for time/being really lazy I just jump on their website and browse the range of awesome clothes at my disposal. Their Facebook page also keeps you up to date with all their latest specials, popular items, and new arrivals, giving you a personalised feeling and the strong urge to just keep buying their stuff. There's just the right mix of flirty, fun, striking, and strong in their clothing mix, and I've never been into the store and not instantly fallen in love with something. Shorts, skirts, dresses, accessories; bold prints, bright colours, pastels, and whites. Garnsis has an amazing range of it all. There are styles to compliment every girl and you'll probably spend ages running through their racks of clothing.

The clothes stocked aren't really my style but you can definitely see why it's popular. It's reasonably priced and the perfect place to shop if you need an outfit for a festival or a cute new summer dress. Although, given that the brands stocked are popular in a lot of stores means that there is the chance that you could have one of those awkward "oh my goodness we're wearing the same dress" moments. Garnsis also has you covered if you're after bits and bobs like new sunnies, some fun jewelry or even nail polish. Despite not being really my thing, this cute little place is definitely worth a look for any young ladies who love a good shopping spree.

In addition to their lovely clothing options, they have a unique range of accessories. Many funky and vibrant and others rare and extremely unique. This store also sells wonderful things for the home such as beautiful pillows with made of handprinted fabric.
