Shopping Hot Spots

Rundle Street is a must for those looking for a more sophisticated shopping strip. The likes of Zimmerman, Alannah Hill, Morrison, Sass & Bide, Mimco, Pierucci and more are featured along the strip.


On the other end of Rundle Street is of course, Rundle Mall, with department stores David Jones and Myer along with independent stores such as Country Road, Esprit etc


Burnside Village is for those seeking a more upmarket scene, in the leafy eastern suburbs. Fantastic location to shop and stop for a coffee. Marion Shopping Centre has all you would want under one roof - approximately a 30 minute drive from the city though.


I was reading back over this, when i realised i failed to mention one of the greatest shopping and food districts in Adelaide - The Parade, Norwood. The Parade is a must go to if you're looking for anything from quirky boutiques such as Birdcage, to the more chain-store shops such as Country Road.
Towards the city end of The Parade, hidden away is a small store called "Burlingtons". I came accross it about a year ago when shopping for men's clothes. Not only did i discover that they are the only independent, non-department store in Adelaide to stock men's Ralph Lauren, but they are the ONLY place in Adelaide as yet to stock the current season ladies Ralph Lauren collections. New favourite store? I think so...

Burnside Village Shopping Mall Extension

As you may have heard by now, the iconic Burnisde Village in the Eastern suburbs is extending its shopping precinct. Building works commenced not too long ago, blocking off the majority of the outdoor carparking - while it's a pain for shoppers in the short term, it will all definately be worth it once it is finished.

'Stage 3' of the development is being developed around the large gum tree in the carpark. The extension is to extend the centre northwards, the two current malls will be connected at the northern end, to make movement and shopping more convenient.

As released by Burnside Village, this is what the extension is predicted to look like:

This stage is to add 37 new retail shops, comprising of a mixture of mens and womens fashion of both Australian and International labels.

Roumour has it.....that brands such as Armani Exchange, Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Burberry are to join Adelaide's most prestigeous shopping destination.

Stay tuned for more...

Rumour has it...

Rumour is that "Heaven" nightclub will be re-opening in a new locaation some time in the near future...stay posted

Popular breakfast cafe "Citrus" closes its doors

Citrus, on Hutt St has for a long time been one of my favourite breakfast locations. Some of my earliest memories are of going out to citrus on a weekend for a nice relaxing breakfast. I still remember the years when there was that cute fire place at the back and you could sit beside it on a cold winter day.

I was saddened to hear that they have had to close their doors due to debts of $200,000, and a liquidator has been appointed to sell the restaurant's equipment.

Who knows, maybe a new owner will re-open this popular location.
