And from what I've heard, Detail has quite a following in the area with women who just can't get enough of shoes, bags and accessories. The girls in store are just great! They're honest, helpful and aren't afraid to give you an unbiased opinion about the products you're looking at. And that in itself is priceless! I love the wide range of coloured accessories and matching elements that you can get to jazz up your wardrobe instantly.

The last time I walked past Yen Concept I was shocked to find enormous amounts of Christmas…read moredecorations and lurid green, silver, gold and red items crammed into the front window. Usually it isn't this in your face. Yen Concept offers simple and affordable home décor options for the locals in the Hawthorn area. Inside you'll find interesting decorations and functional household accessories: vases? Tick. Cool clocks? Tick. Eccentric items to hang on your wall? Tick. It is all here - and there is plenty more crammed into this little shop. Bonuses? Great service that is genuinely friendly and warm, as well as decent prices. This is a destination where you can pick out something for yourself or a friend and not clench your teeth when you look at your bank balance. That's as long as you opt for the smaller items and don't buy a day bed or giant set of shelves.

Another store where I can't afford anything. Sigh…read more Nique caters for men and women and has some of the most beautiful clothes I've seen on Glenferrie Road in a long time. The look is sleek and very modern with minimal colours and interesting textures. Both men's and women's wear are gorgeous and made with love and expertise. This is a brand that we should be proud of and was started here in Melbourne - no wonder it is so great! It has more of a European edge to the clothes and makes a nice contrast with some of the lighter and more casual stores along the strip. The space is really interesting - it is only small but they have worked hard to make it appear spacious, and they have succeeded. The clothes are scattered around and there are designated racks for men and women's sale items (yay!). Expect great service, a warm welcome, bold fashion and beautiful fabrics. Bliss.

Coles is the…read moremajor tenant; also Baker Delight, Terry White Chemist, Coffee Club and many other small shops. The centre is clean and bright with lots of light. Underground parking is free for the first hour but then becomes quite expensive. There is on-street metered parking as well. Many other shops are located along Clarendon Street and the South Melbourne Market is nearby.

I used to visit this place every week when I lived in Southbank - the Coles in there was my local…read more I love Southbank and South Melbourne so I feel a bit obliged to provide a biased review of this shopping centre. The Clarendon Shopping Centre has a Coles, Terry White Chemist, Bakers' Delight, Sushi Top, Coffee Club, Tatts outlet, Flower Shop, Asian Massage and 2 other coffee outlets. There's plenty of parking underground with the first hour free, $6: 1-2 hrs, $9: 2-3 hrs and so forth. It's close to Clarendon Shopping and cafes. South Melbourne Central is also fairly close and you'll find a Safeway, gym, spotlight to name a few in there so the centre is very conveniently located with a broad range of shops and cafes in the near vicinity.

The layout downstairs confuses me a bit and I get a little turned around when trying to find a store I've been to countless times.

It's nice to see something more local and personable during our recent flight from the States. As…read morecasual patrons and supporters of local goods and creative makers, it was actually a nice touch to complete our trip, as it reminded us of vibes previously accessible from past areas of residence. The entrance is by a very narrow street. It's not hard to find, but it may be tough to park. They didn't necessarily have anything I would have wanted, with the exception of graphic display blocks of various sizes, which I thought were very well-made. Prices were decent. Not irrationally cheap, but enough to support the vendors significantly. You likely can only walk here from the main street, as the road/path by this place is very narrow. The tram will definitely take you here.

Most stores accept cards so you don't have to carry cash. My girlfriend purchased some Kinetic Jewellery that looked great and was fun aswell, someone really put some thought into it. We then purchased a cool soy candle in a scientific looking jar. there was so many items we both liked, we will be back here for sure!!

It is one of those great little stores that you love to visit, and hate the fact you can rarely afford anything inside. The service I received the other day was phenomenal. When I walked in the sales assistant was involved in a sale with another customer but she still managed to stop and take time to greet me and make me feel welcome in the space. When this happens I am instantly in a good mood and feel like buying something to repay such acts of kindness. Turns out I couldn't afford anything - but if I could have then I definitely would have bought some of the clothes anyway, they are to die for. Great labels like Jill Stuart and Cynthia Rowley can be found here - hit it up on your next pay day.

Hot Bargains is the best spot for all those little accessory items that you need for throwaway events (fancy dress, kids birthdays, Christmas presents, girlfriend's birthday etc). They more than deliver on their hot bargain promise and you won't believe how much crap they've got piled up in there. This is the reason we need a free trade agreement with China. Sure, they'll benefit by getting access to the very fuckin' elements and minerals the miners pull out of the fuckin' ground here, but you, as a proud Australian, will have access to all of the mass produced plastic shit you can ever imagine. Wow. Our politicians are really on to a winner there. Seriously, do not bother with another shop if you wanna go fancy dress. I got a full Mexican gangster outfit (complete with cap gun) for about $8. You can't fuck with those prices... Honcho.
