When I found out there was an outlet in Sydney, I knew I had to go. Located in Rosebery, the area is what I would describe as industrial chic. Parking in the area seemed limited so I would recommend Uber or public transportation. The bottom floor is swim & resort while the 2nd level is ready to wear. I was impressed by the selection. They had a ton of different past styles. Mostly solid pieces and not a ton of print left but nevertheless an impressive selection. My only gripe was they had a lot of size 3. I needed a smaller size and although it's discounted, the price is still a decent amount to buy clothes that are too big just because you love it. If you're visiting and are a fan of the line, I would definitely recommend you check it out!

NO SKATEBOARDS. NO SMOKING…read more NO ROLLERBLADING. Rollerblading? Really? What does this look like, 1982? That sign is just one of the reasons I love the Quadrangle. It's been there forever, and as far as I know id the only Quadrangle shopping village in the world. There's some deeply unfashionable (yet reassuringly expensive) ladies fashion boutiques, an IGA (that used to be a Jewels, then a Franklins, then a Coles) with a crappy range, an amazing Butcher Boys, some kid of cafe that keeps changing hands, the Flavours of Peking Chinese restaurant that's been going since time immemorial, and a rather clean bathroom. I love it because it screams village, community, small-town suburban life of the kind that's dying and won't be around in 100 years. So come one, come all, eat and drink and make merry. But if you're on rollerblades, God help you, you take your business elsewhere. We don't want your kind around here.

I'm not sure whether this could be considered to be the biggest shopping centre in Australia, but…read moreit probably is one that has some of the best views, especially around the food court just next to the cinemas. Look, while I'm not a big fan of shopping centres, this place does certainly have some charm about it. As I said though, it does happen to be pretty big, so it can be a little easy to get lost, but not that bad because it does happen to be laid out rather well.

Happy 10th Birthday WBJ :)…read more Wow, so fast. My time (lucky) at Westfield Bondi Junction is fab. It does spell luxe. Have been to many parties and shopping events here for work and leisure, as well as doing some private shopping. Lost touch as to how many times I've been here. You can easily spend your dough here if you're not careful. Faves: * Event Cinemas - love Gold Class here, as well as the CATF movie events. Heck, they even run a Christian church service at 10am every Sunday. Can't forget Max Brenners' nearby. * Fitness First Platinum * Swarovski * Mozi Boutique - great, cheap gems for the home. Hey, even brought an iPhone 5 cover here, and it does not break or show any signs of wear and tear! * Room 4 Pets * Virgin Mobile - upgraded myself onto a great mobile phone plan here * Great food including Food Halls * A brand spanking new dentist that is soooo affordable * Typo * Lululemon - especially for free yoga classes (bring your own mat) every Sunday morning at 9am for 1 hour * The Eastern! * A beaut little kids play area in the food court on level 4 A couple of negatives: * Those organic skin bars, and their hard sell tactics. * The smile bar...my teeth were only white for a couple of days. * Pricey acupuncture on the highest floor. I even sold my old mobile phone here when there was a gold place buying them. They're now gone, unfortunately.

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.

On my recent trip out to Sydney, I stopped in here to check out this shopping mall and to eat…read morelunch. 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.

Now I can't stop going back! The roomy carpark has 2 hours free parking, then upstairs you're greeted with a sunny and fashionably modern courtyard lined with cafes and shops. This is the curative for my hatred of shopping centre cafes: with plenty of outdoor seating under broad umbrellas. There's a Cicco Cafe, Pattison's Patisserie and Simone Logue, as well as a Harris Farm, Hudson Meats, Chickens Plus and even a bookshop! And for parents it's too easy with a daycare and medical centre right upstairs. You may be perched right on the express way, but Stockland Cammeray is a very well designed spot.

There is a Harris Farms here for grocery shopping and Hudsons Butchers, Pattison's Bakery, Simone Logue and a few other cafes and restaurants like Wild Sage, Cha Cha and so on. I believe there are also some other shops like salons and book shop etc. There is 2 hour free parking here and the carpark is spacious. It's easy to get in and out of this place and its been a nice addition to the suburb. There is a medical centre some offices and a daycare in this centre. It's quite busy day or night with shoppers and restaurant goers. I like the space here and its open and welcoming. Not bad for a suburban shopping centre.

But how can we mere mortals access these garments? Well, Leona has thought of that. In this shop, and in its sister store in Balmain, the unsold items from past collections are on offer at greatly reduced prices. You might worry that that means they're slightly outdated pieces but one of the advantages of Leona Edmiston's pieces are that they are brilliantly timeless. I found that she is particularly good at designing bold printed wrap dresses which would be both wearable as a show-stopping daytime number or as an elegant evening dress. The shop is nicely laid out too with a boutique-y table set in the centre under a chandelier and embroidered chairs by the changing rooms. Shopping here makes you feel pretty special!

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

Ussed & Abbussed The Department Store is one of Sydney's best kept secrets when it comes to new and vintage clothes, shoes, jewellery, and accessories. Ussed & Abbussed is located at Cremorne (just off Neutral Bay), only minutes from the city behind McDonald's, and past one of Sydney's most popular private schools. A previous writing assignment (while I was a freelance writer before becoming a doctor) brought this place to my attention, and the awesomeness of Ussed & Abbussed has got me hooked on quality new and vintage clothes for both men and women at affordable prices. This is true. In fact, this fantastic business has been around for eight years now, as at the time of writing this. The owner, Dianna (otherwise known as Di) founded this business from her passion for designer goods. Furthermore, Di found a way to source cheap, quality clothes from overseas, and henceforth found a cost effective way to bring them to Australia. Di is involved in buying trips in the USA, France, Spain, and the UK to name. Even more impressive, Di has a generous and loving heart. This amazing individual loves to give in many ways. For starters, the clothing items available here are available at around 80% off the standard retail prices. Di also gives about $8000 worth of stock away to organisations such as The Salvation Army, as well as to St Vincent's Hospital to name on an annual basis. The customer service and friendly acknowledgements are awesome. Walking into a store with over 2000 designer labels under one roof is definitely a department store in itself. It may be a tad overwhelming, yet it is an absolute pleasure to spend at least a couple of hours here...totally up to you. Assistance is at hand to help you find out what you need. You will walk away feeling really prosperous with your purchases. Ussed & Abbussed The Department Store also have available a personal fashion stylist, who is also an elegant woman in herself, who exudes charm and walks the talk...a woman by the name of Hana. Hana has helped me find the right dress for the right occasion, as well as a pair of Dick Boons boots that feel so awesome to wear. Both Di and Hana (while serving you here) emphasise the need to feel good in what you're wearing. The ambience is laid back, inviting, and well displayed. There is plenty to view and admire, and there is even a visitors book to sign if you wish. A quote from Hana that has been drilled into my skull...please let me share it with you: "It is not about the dress, it is about the woman behind the dress." Charm is alive and well, and both genders will love shopping here. Ussed & Abbussed The Department Store have also held special parties upon request such as hens nights, and yes (you are reading this right) divorce parties to name as well. Di closes the shop for a couple of hours to accommodate such requests. They may occasionally hold special shopping nights too. Bookings must be made in advance for such. The first time I came to Ussed & Abbussed, I brought a pair of vintage Dick Boons boots for only $75. Normally the same boots retail for $600. See, generosity reigns at this place. Definitely money well spent. Hence the reason for my rave review. On my second most recent visit I brought a lovely Ralph Lauren floral top for around $35. This top would easily retail for $200. I love it. Easy to iron and ever so colourful. I also purchased a Bettina Liano long sleeve top for around the same price. Perfect with jeans too...or any skirt. Really happy with these purchases to - if not over the moon with them. It is true. Ussed & Abbussed sell clothing and accessories from the following brands to name: Burberry, Chanel, Chloe, Michael Kors, Versace, Alannah Hill and Wayne Cooper. These brand names spell luxe and quality in the fashion world. Hair extensions and bric-a-brac is also available. Di might offer you a lovely cup of coffee too. The Great Gatsby film producers have also approached Di to assist in the clothing selection for their cast. The clothes on sale at Ussed & Abbussed The Department Store have also appeared on TV show Puberty Blues as well. A great store. No, a really great store. You will never know what treasures you might find for your wardrobe here, and you will walk away with immense value. Hands down the best vintage clothing store in Sydney. One of the (if not the) best designer clothing stores full stop. Thank you so much...with immense gratitude. xxx
