Given this is a fashion blog, I feel obliged to provide a post on my favourite Melbourne boutiques.
Now, when I say favourite I mean in the sense that these are the stores which I adore frequenting for their joyous collections of clothes, accessories and other bits + bobs. Unfortunately, being the rather poor uni student that I am, I’m rarely able to indulge in buying all that I desire from these stores.
Nonetheless, here are my Melbourne top five boutiques (in no particular order), chosen by the extremely scientific and completely objective formula that is my own personal taste.
1. Assin
Where: Little Collins St, Melbourne City + Gertrude St, Fitzroy.
Who: Rick Owens, Lanvain, Dior, Dior Homme, Ann Demeulemeester, Haider Ackermann, Comme des Garçons and more.
Check out Assin online here.
2. Eastern Market
Where: Grattan St, Carlton.
Who: Paul Harnden, Carol Christian Poell, MA+ by Maurizio Amadei, If Six Was Nine, Elena Dawson and more.

So dangerous having Eastern Market in walking distance from uni… poses the question of… should I buy/eat lunch this week or put something on lay-bye? Ha!
