They stock all the conventional standbys in business wear as well as some cool variations on the traditional which will appeal to the fashion forward corporate types. I went there to buy a couple of new shirts before a job interview a few years ago and came away with two shiny new additions to my wardrobe and surprisingly, change from $100. One of the finds, a fine white cotton number with a small collar and buttons down to the navel, has become one of my favourites for its casual yet stylish look and comfortable feel. Oh and yes, I got the job.

I've always thought the beautifully sculptured clothing in here looks as though it could have been…read moredesigned by an architect. Now I've found out that it actually is. The man behind the label is Andrzej K Pytel - who studied and worked as an architect until around 2004, when he quit the day job and launched his fashion label, SIZE. Methinks he made the right move - within 6 months, his first ever collection was available in 12 boutiques along the east coast of Oz. In 2009 he launched House of Ezis - and got into draping and folding and more "geometric" designs - the kinds of things instore at the moment. And his skill with a sewing machine has won him some seriously cool fans. He's been published in Oyster, Culture, Dazed and Confused to name a few. I love his digi prints (which he designs himself) and the awesome shapes of his clothes. I particularly ove the strapless white dress (part of his Unit collection) which is draped and shaped and pointed. Sort of like a work of art on a hanger.

This is a fabulous little boutique on Ann Street in the Valley boasting some of the quirkiest and…read morecool clothing I've seen in a while. The designer was formally an architect and then switched careers into the world of fashion. A smart move I would say, because the clothes are fantastic! There's a mixture of street wear and night wear in the boutique, so whether you're shopping for a festival outfit or a party dress, House of Ezis could easily have what you're looking for. I was a huge fan of the ladies singlet tops with cute pockets stitched on to one side. The shop attendant, whose name I discovered was Nadia, was so delightful and helpful. She told me a bit about the in house SIZE line and what the label embodied. I would come back just to be treated that well as a customer again! I will be back to House of Ezis when I have some extra coin and a spot in my wardrobe to fill!

Sew Master Fashions is one of my little secrets, I don't say that because I think only few people…read moreknow about it because that would be ignorant considering the business has been around for many years, but because I always feel special coming here. I believe if more people knew just how good the service and quality of workmanship was here all of the other alterations businesses would soon be out of business. I often come here and ask If I could get my pants/jeans etc altered within the hour and irrespective of how busy they are they always achieve this without a hassle. They are always friendly and accommodating and I have never been disappointed with the result, on top of that they offer some of the cheapest alterations around. Even the more complex and time consuming alterations like those associated with suiting and leather goods they seem to do it with ease and for an exceptional price. I have had friends get wedding dresses made and altered, clothes made from fabric cut offs they have had lying around, silk saddles put into jeans, moth holes repaired and restored, everything you can imagine they offer. Sew Master Fashions continues to get the Stampy of approval year after year.

I have a fairly small build and it is surprisingly hard to find small sizes sometimes. The dresses here are in a range of sizes, down to size 6. They have dresses for formals, bridesmaids and brides plus a range of cocktail and more casual dresses. The style is fun evening wear and simple but classy formal wear. The quality of the clothes at first glance is really good. Upon closer inspection, the materials of some of them maybe isn't the highest but then again the prices are fantastic so why not get a couple? In summary, affordable, fashionable and gorgeous dresses.

Some of the dresses in Ultra Suite are really gorgeous, and I'm particularly a fan of the tulip-style strapless dresses they seem to have such a penchant for making. You walk into a sea of taffeta going to Ultra Suite; taffeta in a range of lovely colours and summery dresses that never go out of style. There isn't much else I can really say about Ultra Suite, except that their clothing - and particularly their dresses - is really lovely and classic; great for a girl who wants to go out on the town in style. Carry your credit card though, because it can get a little pricey, as with any premium clothing boutique.

Ultra Suite is the ultimate in unique and fabulous party frocks and formal wear. With short and…read morelong styles to suit any occasion, I have long loved their window displays and stared longingly through at the fantastic crisp silk fabrics and strong lines of the Ultra Suite brand. Partners Sally and Michael have gathered quite a following for their gorgeous gowns, and they not only stock the Ann St store but also make-to-order for formals, weddings and other occasions. But beware - this is not affordable high street fashion. This is high-end fabulousness and a full length gown will set you back upwards of $500 while the shorter cocktail styles sit around $300. What you are paying for is quality and individuality, and that's what makes the Ultra Suite brand so popular. A fantastic addition to any wardrobe.

Such was my fate recently when two sons sashayed their way through Year 12 and all of a sudden the need for formal-wear became an urgent necessity. Thanks to Black Tie-White Lace at The Gap Village Shopping Centre, it was too easy to arrange, and just as light on the wallet! They have an extensive range of evening and formal-wear that I found unique in a suburban shopping centre. My initial thought was having to travel into Brisbane's CBD and spend mucho dollars on parking and trying to such a business, but there it was, a shining saviour of time, travel and hassles. The owner of Black Tie-White Lace has had this hidden gem operating in The Gap for over 15 years and I guess it's like one of those businesses that you never seek out, until the occasion arises. They carry an extensive range of other items too like bridal gowns and those for bridesmaids, children's suits, jewellery and even shoes! If you're looking to step out for a special event either day or night and to bedazzle family, friends - even a foe or two - this is the place to get dressed for success!

With brands such as Nudie, Bassike, Saint Augustine Academy and Vanishing Elephant, it's no wonder the sexy young men of Brisbane keep their eye on Angus Black. The store is a fantastic space. Simple and clean lined, exactly like the clothes stocked. A pre-warning though boys- you would want to save those pretty pennies before making a trip to Angus Black because the clothes are irresistible, yet a little on the expensive side. The pieces are of such high quality though, that shopping there would be more of an investment in your wardrobe than a frivolous spending spree.

After kindly rejecting the three $150 t shirts she suggested we decided to go elsewhere but not without promising to come back again later as soon as we had the money.

No human ever replied. By the time I opened a PayPal dispute, I was told it was too late to appeal due to the delays they caused.

This is incredibly frustrating and disappointing.
