A little store with a big heart is how I would describe Jolie & Deen on Chapel Street. It's not…read morehigh fashion or designer chic -just a store full of gorgeous fashion and accessories. I love the wide collection of necklaces- from chunky to sweet to sassy and cute. Check out the animal inspired pieces with cheeky birds in birdcages, owls in trees and other furry friends - in sleek silver and other metals. Fashion wise, Jolie & Deen offer a wide range of feminine dresses, short cropped jackets, versatile neutrals and mix this up with cheeky prints so it's never boring. Edgy and a little bit quirky, the feminine pieces encourage you to mix and match and not fall into just one style of fashion. Perfect for the experimental fashion lover. The only thing I don't like is that some pieces are made a little smaller than the average Australian store so I sometimes find something I love but can't wear!

Its all about the Jewellery here! They have the most elegant small gold and silver necklaces and…read morebrackets that are just perfect for everyday wear. A great place to go for a cute thoughtful present. None of the pieces are over the top statement jewellery but they still make everyone say OMG where did you get that? Im a big fan!

I had one of those days yesterday. You know the "I really need to buy something but there is…read morenothing to buy day". And after walking in 30 degree heat (it was actually very humid too), I was feeling like chocolate might be my only hope. Then I stumbled across a boutique called Desire and wondered why I had never been in this shop before. I took one last look, not expecting to find anything and instead found three dresses. One was a long flowy floral dress (perfect for summer) with a slim woven belt ($59), a polka dotted dress ($59) and a stripey sun dress for weekend wear. I left with a full bag and the damage was minimal compared to what I would have spent at other more known boutiques. I do admit that there were some tacky, cheap looking suits in there which were much to be desired (pun intended) but funnily enough, they also had some pretty cool stuff.

My sister loves to shop at Lee Matthews on High Street and naturally, I've become a fan too. Even…read morethough I can't really afford anything in this shop (nothing is below $200), every trip I find something I like. The quality of the fashion at Lee Matthews does justify the price. I remember getting some hand me downs from my dear sister who decided that she has gone off white! So I inherited all her white fashion and one of my favourites was a Lee Matthews long sleeve v, neck blouse in such a soft cotton that I never wanted to take it off. I eventually did of course... But since then I've also inherited a couple more things from this awesome store. Among my favourites are a scarf with a cape (which I can't wait to wear next winter or when I travel to Europe next - whichever comes first) and two cardigans in super soft wool. The summer range in store looks fantastic, with an awesome range of flowy dresses, flirty tops and cool A-line skirts, perfect for the hot season. And surprisingly, the super fashion-conscious people that work at the High Street store are laid back and down to earth - a prized attitude which other high end shops should adopt.

The online customer service is terrible. They do not price adjust! I bought something and less than…read morea week later it was on sale. Even though I hadn't worn it they made me return it and re-buy it!! This is unheard of in the States and with the high prices you would expect better service. I also tried to cancel an order and they ignored all my emails and sent it anyway. I have tried following up but haven't heard back in over a week.
