I'm actually leaving hubby at home for my Melb trip

This trip is my annual shopping spree. Usually he would have to go to Melb anyway for the annual Toy & Hobby fair as he ran a booth but not this year cos he changed jobs. Now he is flying over for the Sunday and Monday only and working all day and night (meetings at night) so even though we're in the same city we wont see each other lol...

It's much easier shopping without hubby... I usually spend 7 hours or so at the DFO (we fill up the land cruiser with shopping bags

) and I wouldnt be able to do that if he was there!

Borders is just across the road, and bout 200m (more or less) down the road. I cant wait to meet some of you girls! Woot!

 

[rockin26]

Will get back to everyone this Sunday night with a cafe. I'll just need to get numbers of who's coming and make a booking for a table JIC. Chaple Street on Sundays can be quite busy especially if the weather is nice!

Can wait to meet some of you at HK next week too!!!!

LOL.. When we had guests from Singapore, they went to DFO 3 times in their one week trip. I haven't been to DFO yet, but when I go overseas, I hit Outlets lol

 

[simplyenchantin]

I don't like DFO here.. there's rarely anything worth buying I find

I LOVE DFO there!! I usually fly over with a carry-on bag and come back with one of those big plastic canvas $2 shop bags as check-in baggage

(I didnt have those red/blue check ones, I had a black one with fluro polka dots last time

)

 

[rockin26]

The Spencer St DFO is the best! They have Peter Alexander and the Nine West outlet is awesome! The Essendon one is El Crappo! The only good thing it has is the Abercrombie & Fitch stuff.

 

[MrsMay]

hahaha I go to the Essendon one cos it's close to where I stay lol...

I dont mind it... I usually just buy el-cheapo tops & stuff for work from Suzanne Grae and Jacqui E and stuff... also like the Oroton store and Joanne Mercer

 

[rockin26]

Check out Spencer Street while your here, it's built onto Southern Cross station so it's really easy to get to. Waaaaaay better shops IMO, you'll need two cars to cart all your goodies home

 

[simplyenchantin]

I go to Moorrabin and its boooooooring

 

[sambibabe]

Oh I went to Moorabbin store ages ago - I was young and was into Esprit then! I also used to go to Brand Smart. Now Polo Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein jeans are gone and they have Jeanswest and Colorado etc instead.. All they have is old/crappy stuff and none of them are my size!

 

[sambibabe]

MrsMay, what time will you be at the Pro store?

I think they close at 6 on a Sunday so any time before then I guess

I'm happy with what ever time since I live a short distance away. If you need help getting there on public transport I can help you out with directions.

 

[rockin26]

I totally forgot on Sunday to suss out a cafe! Sorry gals I'll have a look tonight, my heads been up in the clouds the last week or so!

I might be able to pick you up from the city, if our furniture bits are available for pick-up at Southbank. Or you are welcome to come all the way to the other side of Melbourne (near the mountain) and we could travel to the pro store together lol.
