Hope and Havannah is a little boutique located on the trendy-end of Adelaide street. Although I do…read morenot like all the clothes sold here, I have found some unique pieces which makes this store a nice place to check out every now and then. I am not really the type of girl that goes clubbing but I can imagine someone who does would like the the clothes sold here. Hope and Havannah sell some unique looking party dresses at pretty cheap prices. Mind you, the quality does not look so great but if you are looking for a party dress you probably will only wear a few times, this shop has a lot of those. Amongst the party-gear is some cute casual wear. Again, these are the the greatest quality but the prices reflect that. Hope and Havannah is not a bad boutique and for a store that small, they have managed to cram a nice selection of affordable wear.

The Sarah Cole boots I bought felt like a funny fit at first, but considering I got them at a 25% discount they're worth getting used to.

I walked into this place, not because I've got kids, but because I thought the window display of…read moreheadless children on a deserted sail boat was quite frankly, hilarious in a kind of disturbed kind of way. When I walked in, I got that "I could get pregnant just by being here" vibe. The fact that one of the staff was heavily pregnant didn't ease my anxiety. It's the type of establishment for people who enjoy dressing their toddlers like young adults (think Suri Cruise). A pair of ballet jiffies for your beloved small person is going to cost you around about $60. There's quite a large variety, from your heavily glittered rubber sandles (circa 1990), to almost corporate looking flatties. There are cutesy summer dresses for girls, and very conservative 'I'm pretending to be dad on his way to work' clothes for boys. The accessories are cute. I even found myself posing in front of a mirror holding a suitcase that was painted and shaped like a watermelon. They had some pretty sweet toys too, like a movable wooden dinosaur for example. They had all the kind of cool, hip kids toys that you want to buy for yourself. Honestly, I'm the kind of person who believes that kids are best dressed in rags, in pillowcases, or potato sacks, even cardboard boxes, as long as they're having fun. The freedom to do that lessens the older you get. The best thing about the cardboard box? It's free. If you do find anything in here you like, expect to pay through the nose for it.

Sometimes a designer brand may sneak into their wardrobe as a gift from a well meaning family friend but when it comes to their clothes, like most kids, they don't care what they wear. Seed is filled with lovely, matching, well tailored clothes for kids without any practical application. Kids below five spit up. They spill things. They roll around in mud. Unless the fabric is completely stain free, it doesn't matter how well tailored the outfit is. Added to this, kids grow at an exponential rate making the price of a shirt or a pair of shorts from Seeds ridiculously expensive as they'll outgrow it within a few months. Seed is the sort of shop I would visit to buy a special gift for a family friend's daughter or son but my own niece and nephew will be stuck in their uncool K-mart clothes for a few more years to come.

JV Laser City looks like a video shop until you go in and realise it is more or less. The store has…read morea great a vibe, with interesting looking posters plastered on the walls and a range of anime collectables, random decorations and a small but fun range of clothing. The biggest thing they stock however are Asian DVD's, mainly movies and TV Shows. It is a unique store and I believe it's success is due, in at least a small way, to the fact that it is located at Sunnybank.

Really cool little shop, it's certainly changed a lot from when these business photos were…read moreuploaded. The store is spacious and organised, they have one side dedicated to Asian drama (Korean, Chinese, Japanese), and the other dedicated to Anime, they've got the biggest range of Asian Cinema I've seen outside of Sydney and their prices for it are pretty good. One thing that irked me was that all of the Anime dvds had a discount sticker on it, if you come here, disregard these stickers. The anime dvds that they sell are not worth $59, they're the same edition and print as the ones you buy on Ebay for $15-25 from Malaysia and Singapore. Most of the anime comes out around $25-30 for an entire season, so it's still cheaper than Madman editions but the quality isn't at the same standard. They also have some posters, figures and miscellaneous merchandise. Nice staff. Rad store, will definitely be back.

The staff were lovely and were always happy to help when our numerous cards got stuck. This games was esoteric and presented an ephemeral enjoyment before we left.

There is even a chandelier! I really like browsing in this store, it is one of a few along the Portside strip. I am yet to buy anything but there are quite a few that have taken my fancy including some cute black and cream flats and a pair of dangerously high black heels. They have a large range of decorative flats, which I really like. Despite the fact the I am fairly short, I still much prefer flats to heels. There are sensible, strappy and sparkly flats, heaps to choose from and most have at least 3 or so colours to pick from. I have always found the staff to be friendly but not pushy. It can be fine line sometimes. Parking at Portside is almost always easy in the undercover area, except when there is a cruise ship docked, then you might run into trouble.

Rosebullet is simply another one of those fashion shops blotted in the Elizabeth Arcade that you…read moreshould, will, and must drop in to. It has a very cute little chalkboard out the front and a pale pink window curtain that gives it an air of simple charm. It's hard to distinguish between the many fashion shops through the Elizabeth Arcade and unfortunately, Rosebullet gets a little lost in the throng. Nonetheless, it has some very cute pieces for girls with bags, accessories, and popular styles of dresses, tops, skirts, and shorts to suit any feminine taste. The clothing is very girly and the shop reflects this feminine style with frilled adornments and sweet lighting that throws an easy ambiance into the place. When you amble down Elizabeth Arcade and want to stroll into the many fashion shops on offer there, just make sure you make Rosebullet one of your destinations.
