There is one lurking in you |
Promenade Level, Myer Centre Rundle Mall Adelaide, SA 5000 Australia +61 8 8212 4942 |
This is ultra trendy, cutting-edge ladies fashion for the wild (and preferably wealthy) in us all! Classic velvet dresses and leather jackets rub shoulders with flimsy little rainbow-coloured numbers and bold, red-fur lined coats. There are also shoes and jewellery to complete the outfit. Prices range from about AUD45 for a simple top, to AUD550 for a leather jacket. Stunning formal dresses generally cost between AUD100 and AUD450. Review © 2007, Wcities |
