Yesterday, purely by chance I ended up in the new
Sydney Westfield, it happened to be the opening day and it seemed like everyone in Sydney was there, and honestly, I can see why. I'm not actually a big fan of shopping malls, I like individual shops off streets, I'm not the "all in one place" type of shopper, or you know... a
shopper at all-- but theres something about Sydney Westfields that makes you want to spend a heap of moolah. Zara is opening up in there, so is Miu Miu which sort of takes out the desirability factor of those shops--I spent a lot of time in Zara when I was in Europe and I dragged my Mum into the Miu Miu boutique when we were in Melbourne. Now they are relatively close which gives me an excuse to actually consider buying the clothes that have caught my eye, making it plausible for me to own them. The shops they have are a nice combination of cheap chain stores and high fashion, which means if you're a a poor teenager who isn't good at saving up to buy something special, its quite nice to say you actually bought something. But even the cheap chain stores are decorated and done up to look just as nice as the expensive ones (interior wise), the window displays all look as though someone had put a lot of thought into them (which I suppose they had, because it was someone's job, and the first day of opening). So at the end of all this, did I buy something? No... my friends and I were in too much awe of the space odyssey esque building and the amount of people to go into many shops. But I plan to go again when all the shops have opened, armed with Christmas money and gift cards, and not on a weekend either.
So, without knowing exactly all the shops in Westfield Sydney, my wish-list goes as so:
Front-Pleat Trousers (Zara) $40
Hadley Clog (Rubi shoes) $40, I'm not quite sure why I like these.
Zelda Ring, $79, Tilkah
I was going to add to this but looking at what's stocked in the way of "luxury" is depressing and not at all achievable.
