What kills me here though is the bags- they are real leather and absolutely beautifully made. The bags are generally upwards of $100 so more of an investment piece (for someone broke like myself) than the disposable offerings of its peers. The presentation at Mouche is really appealing, with everything displayed really thoughtfully. Definitely a great spot to buy a gift if you are looking for something special and unique that won't leave you sobbing over your credit card statement.

Wasn't Lolitta a tempting seductress, who's charm nobody could escape? If so, the shop is identical…read moreto its namesake. I can rarely afford to shop the top labels and when I can the older I get, the less I can justify it. Lolitta can be defined as a store that offers the same, stylish, quality designs you'll find at Myer for about half the price. I haven't seen a piece I've loved for over $90, which for quality fashion is very hard to find. Fabrics and colours are just beautiful, and as I'm a bit of a hippy I love the spring collection of bohemian yet pretty and feminine looks. I just wish I had of stumbled across it prior to the Cox Plate. Tip: Check out the Yanni dress in store now, I love it and have it sitting prime position in my wardrobe :)

It's more like a place you go to purchase that one of a kind, extravagant piece that you'll love, cherish and admire for years to come. A statement piece that'll stay stylish for longer than a season.

The Obus look is classic, urban and practical - it'll be the garment you pull out of your wardrobe again and again, and wear easily with comfort and ease. It ain't cheap around these parts but you'll spend your cash happy in the knowledge that everything here is designed and manufactured in Melbourne, and therefore that you're supporting your local talent and our economy. Oh, and also that you look totally fabulous.

Exy as hell, Nom*D Inc is more art gallery than retail store for me. I go in, walk around slowly…read moreand look at every piece intently. Better than an art gallery though because I get to touch everything and even try stuff on. This New Zealand designer store is full of gorgeous clothes suitable for the confirmed urban fashion outsider with a heavy wallet. The look is dark and sombre with a wearable colour palette of black, white, grey and dark blue. Carrying international names like Bernhard Willhelm and Rick Owens, and accessories labels AF Vandervorst and Company of Strangers, Nom*D is a heavy-hitter for the lover of edgy, left-of-centre fashion. For such an upmarket store, the staff are actually really nice and don't seem to mind that I'm often in there wandering around but have never bought anything. I'm sure it isn't just me who does it. They must get that a lot.

One of my favourite labels can be found here: Rick Owens (hooray!). There are jackets, skirts, dresses, tops, boots, jewellery and more in here. Luckily the store is enormous and so the merchandise is displayed beautifully in the space and I agree with the previous reviews, its almost like walking around an art gallery. The sales assistant when I dropped by was on the phone, but she still managed to smile and make me feel welcome while she was in the middle of the conversation - I was quite impressed. Nom*d is the perfect destination if you are after clothing that is different and bold. It's tough and well made from the leather boots in the front window to the draped dresses that hang around the store.

Who Is Hue is also housed within the hallowed halls of the CBD's Melbourne Central, and has a strictly no bags above $300 policy which sounds steep. But for bags this beautiful? A virtual steal. Looking from the outside in Who Is Hue appears to be achingly cool, all bondage style bucket bags and sassy studded satchels, but inside Who Is Hue is just a beautifully realised little boutique selling a range of clutches, totes, satchels and more. Its sweet staff are a perfectly lovely counterpoint to Hue's sometimes tough looking totes and I think, if only in the name of research, I'm going to have to return to Who Is Hue for another look at, and feel of, their gorgeous designs. Just don't be surprised if I leave with one - or more - of their beautiful little bags.

Therefore, it's very unique to other bag stores and is definitely worth going out of you way for. Who is Hue are in the same price range of the high-end labels so don't go here if you're out for a bargain or just something cheap to pick up for a night out.
