I LOVE this shop, it has literally something for everyone.

The store is always neat, clean and tidy and stocked very well. The craft sections has some delightful little packets of oragami paper, different craft items and cute pencil cases for something a little different. For those of us girls who like to keep their beauty on the "edge" there are some quirky Japanese beauty routines for, you guessed it, $2.80. The lolly/sweet and drink section has some great things to try. For me however the winning sections would have to be the storage aisle and dinnerware. The storage aisle has lots of small, medium and large containers perfect for travel, organising beauty or bathrooms or any tiny nickknacks. The dinnerware has lots of tiny plates, bowls and cups.of all descriptions and I have to admit that I've used a couple of these to decorate my dressing table. If you go in with a sense of fun and no expectations you will never know what you will find. Cute, kitsch, cheap and cheerful give it a try.

Lots of things! Cheap!…read more House and home, office, school, even fishing hooks. You can get most anything in Daiso, and everything is the same price. $2.80. Hooray! It can be pretty expensive to shop here because it all adds up pretty darn quick, and logic dictates that some of the items just aren't worth $2.80, while others are worth more. It averages out in the end, but you need to be careful not to buy what you don't need, and shop around too, because you aren't necessarily always getting a bargain, but buy the right things and you're on a winner. A downside is a lot of the packaging information is in Japanese, so you're never quite sure what the item is. An upside is the Engrish. Always a joy! Still, check it out, it's bright and cheerful and you just might find what you're looking for.

This is a bit of an odd store.

It's pretty big and they've got a good amount of stuff here, and I suppose I'm unfairly comparing it to other completely adorable children's clothing stores I've seen which are pretty pricey (Sugar Land's prices are quite reasonable), but it's just not as cute as it should be considering what it sells.

The staff are laidback but willing to help with anything and really know their stuff. Being a specialty store the prices are high but they are better in comparison to other music stores around Brisbane and if you want to try haggling with the staff for a discount they will usually oblige.

I stumbled across The Dawn recently when walking home from work and oh my, so many pretty things…read moreall in one store! I was overwhelmed by all of the pastel beauty so took the time to stop and browse. The lady who was manning the store was lovely and happy to talk to me about the owners label, Alexis Dawn, which is one of the labels stocked. The clothing is beautiful, flowing and feminine and perfect for a special occasion. I even thought that some of the maxi dresses would be perfect bridesmaids dresses as they were beautiful in their own right but simple enough to not outshine a bride. There were also heaps of cute dresses perfect for parties, nights out and events. If you are struggling to find that perfect dress in some of the boutiques around Brisbane and looking for something unique, simple and elegant than I would definitely recommend heading to The Dawn on James Street for a browse.

The teachers seem to mix pleasure and learning well, and incorporate theory while also allowing their students to learn their music of choice. There are both group and individual lessons and an end of year concert that showcases the students' talent. On the one or two occasions I've been past the studios they appear well equipped with stands and television screens and access to internet to highlight a certain band or gain musical tab. And I've also been told the teachers hold about a thousand degrees between them, including a few PhDs! Just a few! What!! If my friend's son is anything to go by, not only is he becoming really good but he's also really keen which must have something to do with the teachers.
