Adelaide may be famous for its churches but it’s the city fashion strips that attract more attention. And rightly so, they’re super attractive and leave you wanting more! Especially this spring with so many things to do, places to shop and fashion deals to explore.

Adelaide’s shopping strips are the perfect blend of fashion and coffee, which obviously go hand-in-hand. I have a particular soft spot for Melbourne Street, O’Connell Street and Rundle Street. With loads of offers and special free events happening in the next couple of months, here’s a little tease as to why you should visit.

A STRIPTEASE OF OUR FAVOURITE SPRING FASHION IN THE CITY:

STRIPTEASE # 1 MELBOURNE STREET

Apart from the obvious “cool factor” that Melbourne Street exudes, it has the perfect mix of high-end and affordable fashion boutiques. It also houses one of my favourite coffee shops, E for Ethel – where lattes come with a chocolate freckle on the side.

:: It’s also wedding season, so if your man needs a flash new suit, head to Alta Moda Menswear. They have 20% off storewide.

STRIPTEASE # 2 RUNDLE STREET

With so much personality and flare, Rundle Street is like the friend we all want to be. With such a fabulous blend of fashion boutiques, it’s the perfect place for high-end spring fashion items and more unique styles and brands.

We’re heading into the party season so you’ll always find a gorgeous party outfit, shoes and accessories on Rundle. It’s the place to go for something different.

EXTRA SPECIAL OFFERS:

:: One Rundle Trading Co. is a favourite with interior designers. Their furniture is reminiscent of European country houses. It’s timeless, classic and beautiful. This spring, they’re celebrating with 15% off storewide. Did someone say early Christmas present shopping? Sorted. They also do gift-wrapping.

:: Endota Spa, you had me at spa. This season is all about looking after yourself and what better way to do that than with a facial. With Endota Spa providing two amazing deals: 20% off Dermalogica products or a one-hour organic facial for $99. You may as well book one for you and your mum or girlfriend.

Also, a short walk from Rundle is Hindmarsh Square, and on Thursday 22nd until Sunday 25th of October, it will come alive with fantastic local fashion as part of the Adelaide Fashion Festival. All the South Australian stars, including Sally Phillips, Liza Emanuel and Paolo Sebastian will hit the catwalk, plus a huge range of other local and international fashion icons.

STRIPTEASE #3 O’CONNELL STREET

If you love food as much as fashion, then this strip is for you. You can shop for all your favourite brands and then eat your way back down O’Connell again.
