I have a day time BBQ party sort of thing this Saturday and am sick of my clothes, so today I popped up to Albany to see if I could find something cool but cheap.
I only ever usually go into North Beach with my boyfriend. It is really good for guys stuff. Despite looking like a surf shop, there are heaps of cool guys labels, and quite a lot of awesome things from jumpers, to boardies, to shorts, to tshirts and shoes. Also, my boyfriend feels pretty out of place in the fancier stores that I try take him to, so he's a lot more comfortable there.
The bottom level is for girls. I don't think its as good for us as it is for guys. This is all surfy stuff, which is fine, but not for me. There were a couple of really cool Huffer pieces, and its great for cheaper togs and jandals, but it's not the place to go if you're wanting to stop traffic.
The service is really good in both areas and they aren't pushy.
One thing though, and I feel a bit bad about saying this, but today I saw a mouse. Like, in the girls shoe area. Oh god, I silently freaked out and left. Should have probably said something. But yeh. For the last 3 hours I have felt like it's crawling on me.
I suppose that's not their fault though. read more
