There is a lot of formal wear that isn't really my cup of tea, however, she stocks some cute labels. Studibaker, Truese, Paco PM, to name a few. The store is really boutique-y and has a nice feel to it. You may find a cute little bag or some gorgeous patent stilletto's. She has ready to wear cocktail and formal wear but you can order bridal or evening gowns as well. You have to give a few months notice, of course. Overall, a pleasant little outlet.

You will find Wildfox tees, House of Harlow 1980 jewellery, Mavi jeans and Leona Edmiston hosiery, right alongside unbranded tops and dresses that range from $20-$100. Swimming costumes and lingerie can also be found here, as well as a consistent sales rack where you can grab yourself a serious bargain. The sales assistants are really friendly and were once kind enough to hold onto my friend's iPhone for a few hours after she accidentally left it in the change room after trying on clothes. That's true customer service. Whether you are after a particular brand or just keen for a browse, Elvis 4 Cleo is a great place to stop into. You might find yourself walking out with something you never knew you needed.

It has a collection consisting of clothes by various Australian designers catering to both Men and Women. This shop offers opportunity to the underground up and coming designers to showcase their designs. They also keep very different pieces of jewellery, accessories, sunglasses and swimwear. The lady in the store is very friendly and kind. In the half hour I was in the store I saw her help every customer that came in. I had a really nice experience with her when I went to buy a present for my sister. She always finds it hard to get her sizes. It was only because of the persistent of this lady that she ended up buying her dress. She r5eally made an effort to find all dresses that could fit her and really look good on her, also choosing different accessories to with the dress. She did have a very good sense of style. Ultimately when she found out that this was a dress for her birthday, she even offered us a 105 discount . We were both very happy customers and will definitely go to Elvis4Cleo again.

The brands stocked are all high street, but offer a good mix of affordable pieces from the likes of Cooper Street, Wish, Minkpink and Honey & Beau, as well as more expensive designs by Katherine. The selection of jewellery is a bit hit and miss, but they always have simple and more glamorous Peep Toe shoes in stock. Due to its location, I'm guessing it probably doesn't get a huge number of visitors during the week, so sometimes stock can seem a bit inconsistent. Nonetheless, I've often found myself unexpectedly picking up a pair of cute tailored shorts, a floaty printed summer dress or blouse for the office.

I stumbled into Camilla Boutique after a wonderful jaunt in Bondi. Oxford Street, (specifically, at…read moreVerona and West) has no shortage of wonderful boutique shopping. And, of course, this is clearly my style of preference. As shopping malls and department stores offer your typical trendy clothing fair. However, I prefer a more Avant-Guarde out of the box style. I shop for original pieces; bright and blinged-out statement pieces would describe it best. This is precisely what Camilla Boutique offers. Haute fashion from everything to bright and blinged out bustiers and swimsuits, to more subdued but no less fabulous caftans and sequin pants. And then there are the shoes - oh how I love the shoes. They offer eclectic designs from anal print wedges to neon gladiator styles. Pair them with one of there handmade clutches or travel fabulously with one of their weekend bags. I'm really excited to rock my statement pieces back in the states. Shop Camilla Boutique if you love unique fashion that stands out from the crowd.

That's why I found myself in a little bit of sensory overload when I breezed in off the Oxford Street strip in Paddington to have a look one afternoon. Most exquisite about Camilla's designs are the patterns in the fabrics used. There are summery watercolor strokes and large abstracted florals. There are Spanish geometrics with blurred edges and carnival colors it sharp contrast. There are prints that look like your toddler when to town with his crayon box. But, you know what? It works. Camilla's designs aren't for the faint of heart or the weak in style. If you have the courage to pull it off, pop into her Paddington shop (or her Bondi shop, or her Mosman shop), pick up a maxi-dress, throw on your highest wedges, pile all your hair atop your head and you'll be right in with the hottest of Sydney looks. Oh, and don't forget the cherry red lips.

If you have the dosh (which I'd assume most people working or frequenting the Chifley Plaza do) then you will surely find something to buy here. For the rest of us it's happy browsing or style ideas. Leona's frocks have been worn by the likes of Nicole Kidman, Kylie Minogue, Elle McPherson and Helena Christensen. Definitely elegant, ageless style and all woman - these designs and materials are lush. I also found the shop assistant very friendly and not the least bit snooty like you may find in other designers stores.

There's also a whole load of casual gear, so if you're looking for just some laidback, cheap wear, this place is ideal.
