There are heaps of designer clothes that go for next to nothing but a lot are priced quite high so be prepared if you get that feeling of, "I have to HAVE this", you might be digging deep into your wallet. I like how big it is and I think it's getting even bigger because last time I went there it looked like a space had been made for a furniture section. So if this does happen then it truly will be the ultimate Op Shop. The people are reasonable there as well so if you think something is over priced don't be afraid to ask and usually they'll drop a couple of dollars (good tip). I've picked up some great shoes there as well as bags, lights, kitchen ware, a coffee machine (that works), shirts, jackets and was tempted to buy a dresser but contained myself, as it was probably for the best, because sometimes you get home and realise you don't really need half the things you buy!

A great spot to pick up a gift for your quirky girlfriend, with staff who will help you make a decision on the most appropriate purchase. Love. Big time.

If you are of a mature age, you probably look a bit silly in a beenie but with a hat you can look make a statement. Men's hat styles include panama, caps, bowlers, derbys, fedora's, pork pies and top hats. I didn't see any bush style Akubra's but I didn't get through the whole collection! They definitly had the Akubra brand plus plenty of other brands. There staff mentioned that there is new styles coming in often so come back and visit every few months.

I had my wedding dress altered here recently-which involved shortening a satin underskirt and 4 layers of tulle all to the same length. They did a wonderful job and it was super reasonable too, less than $130. The only slight downside is that they don't take card payments at all so I always have to remember to get cash before I collect.

A world away from…read moretrashy chain-stores and generic hippie gear of Acland Street, Little Lost Land offers something a little different. Featuring vintage inspired designs, this is one of the few places in Melbourne where you can pick up truly unique pieces. No one like looking the same as everyone else, which is why stores with limited stock runs are such a godsend. The array of individual designs on offer is enough to satisfy the most discerning of shoppers. Little Lost Land also stocks a great range of shoes and jewellery by both local and international designers.

It doesn't suffer from the over-expensive second hand fever that is sweeping our beloved stores (ahem Brunswick Street), and every time I pick up something and have a look at the price I don't have to immediately put it down and walk away with my head hung. There are always some great retro vases or platters in the window that hark back to a time where lurid orange and brown were chic and big belt buckles were king. Even if I don't end up buying anything, a short trip here is an instant pick me up. The atmosphere is fun, the sales assistants are friendly and the products are very kitsch.
