I was surprised at how much better than your average dollar shop this variety store is. During…read moreOctober they had a really awesome Halloween display set up, with moving skeleton butlers, creepy crawlies, light up jack O lanterns and all things gooey. A friend of mine was on the look out for a decent Halloween costume (the theme was under the sea), and they had two entire aisles dedicated to props, costumes and novelties with every little detail to make her costume that much better. It's much better than your average variety store, with organised aisles (where everything is actually hanging and not on the floor), and pieces that you might actually consider buying. There's everything available for hen's night parties, costume parties and kids parties - not to mention the props they have for everything in between. Four stars for the range of products available.

Oh, I have to mention that there are another Asian products, too, here. Why I give 4 stars instead of 5? Because I have to wait for a long time to check out, always long ques. If they add more cashiers I will give them 5 out of 5! ここのダイソーはシドニーでは最大規模の一つと思われてお薦めなのですが、その人気のため常にレジが長蛇の列でテキパキとさばいているのでまずまずですが、これが４つ星の理由です。もう少しレジの数が増えれば（忙しいときだけでも）５つ星をあげたいと思いまあーす！

I found that the specialty in here was party dresses, namely those short strapless ones. There were variations of this model in every colour and fabric imaginable, I was impressed. There's also a whole load of casual gear, so if you're looking for just some laidback, cheap wear, this place is ideal. Of course, no big bargain store would be complete without the odd horror, but hey, who said you needed to get fancy dress outfits solely from fancy dress shops?!

Sprawling across two shops on Oxford St, you can find anything here from feathered crotchless panties and Australian flag bikinis to cheap and seriously nasty jewellery and sunglasses, to half-finished sample clothing for $10. In the manner of SES though you can always find something nice in the store for around ten bucks, and they have some great genuine-vinyl biker-style jackets for around the forty dollar mark. Don't be alarmed though, most of the stuff on the racks is nice- the horrors I mentioned above are the exception not the rule!

Thankyou Reject Shop for catering to my sweet tooth and the extra weight on my thighs.

What's that you said? You've got money to burn? A credit card that doesn't look worn out enough?…read moreThen get thee down to Westfield Sydney, a couple of swipes of that card and flash a couple hundo's around; and you'll be as good as new! And chances are, you'll have some fancy new threads to show off. There's always so much happening at Westfield Sydney. Buskers in the mall, a sale at Zara, a new line of watches at Tag Heuer, or a new pair of Connies has come out at Hype. Either way, you'll never be short of something to buy, or something to look at. It doesn't matter which end or side of town you work in, you're never far away from Westfield Sydney; even if it's just to join the stampeding herds in the food court under Myer. Being a shopaholic, I could burn up a fortnights pay here in one go; and just keep rambling around until my bank card ran away screaming, or the bank just gave me the big thumbs down. Some may find the way the interior's decorated a tad too shiny, but I think that adds to the opulent atmosphere that you should expect from a shopping centre towards the upper-end of the spectrum. Be warned that you may spend sometime finding what you're after; but once you have, all will be right with the world... that's while your left trying to work out which arm to carry that extra bag on.

It was located near the north end of Hyde Park at the NW intersection of Market St and Castlereagh St. It was easy to spot from far away with the Sydney Tower Eye. The mall was huge where you can easily get lost inside. Thankfully, they had good signage at the escalators. Just from a little bit of window-shopping, there were plenty of high-end stores. You can go up the Sydney Tower Eye from the 5th floor. There were restaurants on several floors. I ate at Yayoi up on the 6th floor.

Secret underground pop-up designer fashion laboratory alert!…read more (That would make a great Japanese cartoon title.) So you know Westfield Pitt St Mall ain't your average Westfield, right? That's it's designed and planned and decorated to within an inch of its life and is chock full of hella cool shops and eateries and all the things that get your little urban commando hearts beating faster then your average hipster. Well head down the escalators, ya big ol' fashionista, because there's another surprise for ya: on the below-ground level and there you'll find a concept store called 100 Squared that gets a whole bunch of amazing, emerging local fashion designers and collects them all in one place for your shopping pleasure. It's like the king of all pop-ups, curated for style and quality. And the best bit? It's a place for the new generation of fashion talent, all these great up-and-comers, to show off their mad sick skillz. Love it.

I had the opportunity to get invited to a Yelp hosted party here, and came out of interested…read more 100 Squared is definitely a breath of fresh air for Westfield, which is a shopping mecca for all the common brands (Zara, Gucci, Gap, etc). Instead of focusing on brand names, this is basically a marketplace/bazaar for independent designers who want another channel to showcase their products. I'm not a fashion designer myself, but I'm also a designer - just from a more digital perspective. I can relate to the "not work for the man" part so I like this place a lot because it gives another outlet for independents or small businesses to hustle their wares. So 5 stars for this place because it supports small business / independents. Anyway, there are clothes (women's fashion), and jewelry. But beware that the clothing sizes are more designed for "hipster" sizes. (i.e. if you're beyond say a size 10 or Medium - result of having a vegan or soy milk diet, then theres probably nothing for you here other than jewelry). But then again, theres even less for guys unless you're into cross-dressing at hipster sizes. PS - 300th Review!!!

Incu came to be in 2002 and has a strong philosophy of supporting emerging designers and interesting collaborations. (Incu = incubate, geddit?)

The clothes range from simple t-shirts to beautiful dresses from over 30 brands to choose from. Aside from delivering top quality clothes from Topshop and the like, the stores are creatively decorated and make shopping really fun! Visiting Incu will ensure that you have a fun time shopping for clothes and let you in on today and possibly tomorrow's hottest trends. Be sure to head upstairs to visit Marc Jacobs! Highly recommended!

It was worthwhile perusing them, and my brother ended up buying quite a few things.
